  1. Best way to align heat transfer vinyl

    We use a mirror attached to the wall near the heat press. I lay the shirt out flat on the table, stick the heat press on, then hold ths shirt up in front of the mirror located about 10 feet away to make sure it is straight before pressing. Works great for us.
  2. Anyone know where to find this Fleurs-De-Lis symbol?

    Learning a vector based program is important, although whether you need it can depend greatly on what type of market you are in. Regardless, it's good knowledge to have. I would have redrawn that without even a thought of wasting time searching for one or auto tracing. Objects like that are...
  3. 0.80 Aluminum sign blanks

    And to think...he's been disagreeing since 1986. That is quite an accomplishment.
  4. 0.80 Aluminum sign blanks

    Try a Rout-a-burr and you will never file again. Just be careful if you have never used one. They are sharper than they look. As for cutting aluminum sheet with a circular, table, or panel saw it can be done easily. An industrial table saw with a carbide blade will cut aluminum plate over...
  5. Roland GX-24 plotter sucks

    We use a GX-24 and have had no problems with it at all in over a year of use. We have run upwards of 20 yards of material before having to realign the roll. We also feed 10 yards rolls without pulling out excess material and get no motor errors. Of course if you use a 50 yard roll the same...
  6. 0.80 Aluminum sign blanks

    Judging by your avatar, assuming that is you, you look to be in your twenties...early thirties tops.
  7. 0.80 Aluminum sign blanks

    Nevermind. I missed the part about custom size and 100 minimum. I honestly didn't realize 8 x 8 was custom. It's small, but never would have thought custom...sounds pretty standard.
  8. 0.80 Aluminum sign blanks

    Our minimum from Grimco is $100. Can't you buy something else your shop needs to meet the minimum? Yesterday I ordered some Knifeless tape and four 12 x 18 reflective blanks, which came out to somewhere around $75 or $80, so I threw in a much needed roll of 12" RTape. We do it all the time...
  9. How to hide a seam between acrylic panels

    That's the way we do it now if it has to have a seam. You can weld it on with clear seal or clear vhb tape.
  10. Work in progress...

    Who would go to a tattoo studio that looks dirty? Maybe in the 1940's...because nobody knew any better.
  11. Work in progress...

    As a previous owner of a successful tattoo studio for more than 13 years, I can say that statement is far from the truth in many instances.
  12. Someone stole my design

    Very true. I forgot to consider that fact since I read most of this post yesterday evening. But still, 3 minutes is a bit unrealistic. I'm just trying to bring it down to earth a bit. The way you put it it devalues the very thing we are trying to defend. Besides, free layout or not, any...
  13. Someone stole my design

    3 minute layout huh? I'd love to see you generate a fresh idea, draw it in vector, and photoshop it onto a photo in 3 minutes flat. I would spend at least that long referencing and researching before I even start to pick up a pen or mouse. At least if you're gonna bash the guy's skill, let's...
  14. horribly tragic...

    Wow. That's terrible.
  15. M&R or Anatol??? Someone please make up my mind!!

    We are a very small two man operation that runs a 6 color manual press. We do on average around 1000+ pcs. per month. We also sell signs, embroidery, printed materials, and promotionals so screen printed garments is only a part of our business. I would say the average job for us is about...
  16. M&R or Anatol??? Someone please make up my mind!!

    Wow. Very good post indeed. Very well put.
  17. How to Make Sign on Craigslist

    I saw that a couple years ago. What a joke.
