Default My First Paid Vinyl Install
Hey, I was just excited to have my first paid vinyl install and wanted to tell someone.

I've had the cutter setup for 4 days, and it is already paying off!

I knocked out 60 designs (30 tees front and back) with Spectra II from Imprintables and it weeded really great. I was worried I would be sitting there for hours. It went smooth. and fast. I will snap some pictures later when I press.

What kind of vinyl did you use for the window decal?

Thanks for sharing the pics!

It's going to take a bit longer than the 5 days I've been working with this unit to work my clientèle up to anything worth being in business...

I got 80-100 yds of vinyl with the cutter purchase.

This one is LG Vizuon Hi-Cal (I believe 4000). A quick search shows it can be purchased in 50 yd. 24" rolls for about $55.00

Oh, and I haven't forgotten about posting my pics for the first shirt I did with the cutter. I just need to find time to sit down, write it and post it with the pics I took.
