Discuss the various aspects of heat pressed vinyl transfers. Popular and new types of vinyl media, suppliers, vinyl cutters /plotters, press times, quality, how to instructions and more can be found in this heat press sub forum.
We just purchased a vinyl cutter mainly to do names and numbers on shirts and maybe a few signs and vehicle lettering.
I was just wondering what else can be done with them. I like to be creative and offer items other shops in our area don't offer. Besides t-shirts, signs, and vehicles, what else do you use your cutter for?
stencils for sandblasting, airbrushin, painting, etching, and screen printing. Used to make banners, laptop covers, magnetic signs, etc... the list can go on and on. There is someone on another vinyl message board that I visit that cuts vinyl and puts it on small rounded mirrors as awards, etc. I used some clear vinyl to make all my friends custom screen protectors for their cell phones.
Adding: Decals and stickers, and if you have contour cutting capabilities, you can trim designs out of inkjet heat transfer paper, leaving no "window" when you press the shirt.
Wow! Thanks for all of the ideas. I knew there were other things I could do, I just couldn't come up with any on my own. I like to have other ideas to "suggest" to my current customers. I also like to do personalized items so many of these ideas are great. I really like for them to come in for shirts for their bowling league and leave with Christmas gifts for the grandchildren as well.
other suggestions would be ceiling fans, decorate dishware, frisbee, sport bottles, remote control airplanes/cars/boats, skateboards, helmets, refrig, baseball bats, pennants, etc.. etc...,
FireMalt I would like to see a picture of your screen protectors for their cell phones.

Hi everyone,
What kind of vinyl is everyone using to put on these items, like the fridge, fan blades, dishes, sports bottles, screen protectors? Loving the screen protector idea, really wondering which that is... Is this all sign vinyl?? Are there better brands for these uses?
Am I the only idiot around here? I know I talk in short spurts but I don't try to convey many ideas to other people. Can yall post some pics please. Visually is the easiest way for me to understand what would be appealing about puttin vinyl on most of the things mentioned here.
When you post the pics, FireMalt, would you be so kind to mention which vinyl is used for that? I'd hate to muck up a nice piece of electronics. Thanks.
Do you have any idea if that would work as well on Nintendo DS's? Is it easily removed and replaced if it becomes marred?
What else to do with our cutter? 
Remember when the economy is slow people need to advertise more.
