At the time I was thinking phone tech, but now that our business is really taking off, I think I'll just concentrate on running our own.

If you want to learn to use your cutting equipment, and need hands on or visual training, Make friends with a sign company. As long as they can see that you are not in direct competition, they should be willing to share knowledge. And, you may find that you can do reciprocal business... Vehicle signs + corporate clothes = profit for both businesses & only 1 setup fee.

How would you guys Rank vinyl t-shirts, using say Eco-film, against Screen Printing and DTG? I've heard eco-film is very soft. Thanks.

I'm about to start pushing Eco products in my business and would love to have eco-film. But I've only seen it in the States. Shipping it to Canada kind of defeats the environmental impact.

Do you mean like when you hear someone say "one-off's"? That means able to do one shirt, or a few shirts, affordably for the customer. It is helpful when doing only a few shirts of each design, or when someone wants a custom shirt and only one or a few, situations like that.

PS: and

One-offs also apply when a customer needs to proof the work before doing a larger run. I will sometimes do a one-off shirt when a customer is ordering a larger run of a product we can't do in-house or small volume. Then they can see how the colours work together and get to see it to scale, before they invest in the larger order.
Personalization (each a different name or number) is also a variation of one-offs.

Hi Goalder,
I don't use Jetpro yet, but a quick search tells me that this is a transfer for light fabrics. Light and dark fabrics need different products. Search the forums and you will find recommendations for each. I expect the yellowing between letters will be less noticeable if you don't have a dark colour behind it.
