Default on location van job using uscutter

I am posting this for a few
reasons first to toot my own
horn then to let those that are
trying to decide about getting
a plotter/cutter what i used. Several weeks
ago I decided I needed a small
cutter, I have a 24 inch
summa d60u, I am the guy setting
up by the road side see post setting a tent beside the road and selling their tee shirts there? - Page 2 - T-Shirt Forums I bought uscutters smallest cutter it only cuts 10.5 inch wide, I buy 15 inch material in a role and cut an inch off of one side, 14 inch material just fits in it but as stated it only cuts 10.5 wide. The little thing works pretty good but like all uscutter machines it’s a dummy no feedback to the software, I use flexi sign pro 7.2. as you can see I did 2 new vans for the customer. It took 2 days 8 hrs day 1 and 10 day 2. I gave the customer a 30% discount on the second van for doing it at the same time instead of waiting a month until the van was ready to go in to service. We are looking at a $1300+ job. The customer bought a couple of signs also I made them while there. I am using a laptop for all the work I currently do. I have 2 back-up table tops that I built but in a mobile situation the laptop is the way to go.
I used 2 50 foot 15” roles of vinyl doing the work several pc. Were 2 color stacked. I know I used a little more vinyl than if I had the bigger cutter going but all in all I am vary happy with the results.
