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.

Absolutely awesome story. I might share it with the folks on the USCutter forum. Some of the things our customers come up with never cease to amaze me.

Excellent work on the van as well.

the customer is steam master his shop is in fairview. I suggest you get vinyl from fellers I use them for about 90% of the vinyl i buy if you spend 100 bucks with them it free shipping they have locations in greenville knoxville etc shipping is 1 day.

I don’t do many shows these days just road side as I am by my self. It’s a long story and in 11 months ill be back to the big trailer and doing shows full time with the wife, for now her (JOB) is driving me nuts. The shows take at least 2 people to handle because of how fast work comes in. also I get a lot more variety of work some with bigger ticket stuff when I am on the road side. I plan to be some where towards Hendersonville this next week. My phone number is 877-888-5544 x9 if you want to call me to find out where I am. Ill also post when I get set up.
you are welcome to come and see all my Secrets ... well most of them... ok maby a lot of them..... kidding hope to see you
Don
