I used to have a screen print shop before there was cutter printed vinyl. At this point in time I see no advantage in it. Use floor and wall vinyl.

Maybe Garamond except for the left side of the T. Some embroidery machines have their own set of fonts also.

I'm in northwestern MI and retired. I have an Edge 2 and a Gsx plotter plus over 50 foils that I'd love to find a home for. I was just going to make a hobby out of it using Craig's List but it just wasn't coming together.

Are you at all interested yet? I'll let things go cheap enough to make it worth it. Edge II, GsX plotter, over 60 color foils plus many duplicates. I had hoped to continue a small home based business but have had some health issues which have stifled me. Wife is after me to clean out the basement.

I'm retired but still have an Edge II and a GsX plotter in my basement. I had planned to just get smaller jobs off Craig's List or whatever to generate some play money. I'm running everything through MacImprint on my old Mac G4 laptop. I was a beta tester for GSP when they were developing it as...

I've contour cut perf successfully but once installed I've sealed the edge with a 3/8" strip of high performance clear. It greatly reduces the tendency to lift, especially on vehicle windows.

You might try advancing the foil a couple of feet before printing. Sometimes uneven stress seems to build up and that helps.

Papyrus and Optima

I once bought a whole roll of teflon tape very inexpensive.. Lasted me years. Do a search for it on line.

I've printed a transparent red/brownish tint and over laminated it on whatever imitation gold pattern vinyl or poly that you have with good results.

There's a gloss coated masonite they they sell at Home Depot. I'd cut it into chunks and grid it with vinyl stripes for use as tracking jobs. Used wipe off markers on it.

Double check the grounding cable between the top and the bottom also. it can fray badly and still look good.

I used to put a small radius on both the inside and outside corners. It was hardly noticeable and sped up the process considerably.

I had started a graphic (non-apparel), screen printing shop in 1980. At that time we produced our films with a photo-typositor and a copy camera in a darkroom. I purchased the first copy of Adobe Ilustrator that fall along with a Mac CI and a Graphtec plotter to cut amberlith. Illustrator was...

I used to just put a piece of Scotch dull magic tape over the registration marks which worked great.
