it's a cheap cutter.. USCutter Laserpoint. only problem i've had so far seems like a software thing. I try to contour cut, but after mapping my registration, i click 'cut' and nothing happens. Not sure what's up with that.

nevermind i figured it out. you have to have a cut mask when doing contour, even if your graphic is vector.

Cool, i was workin my fingers off trying to find a USCutter screen to see how it's set up. I've only used Flexi when it comes to software.

did my first hat... i'm really limited with my setup, so i can't do much, but thought i'd see if it even works..

I've got a four color screen print press, I've been dying for a vinyl cutter. Good stuff Shank!

thanks shake.

i like screen printing, but didn't have the room or the means to deal with the mess involved. i figured plastisol transfers are a good option for anything beyond my limitations...

It's getting better. You seem to be getting the design to product stuff down.


With the skills you're gaining, you could maybe make stuff happen. In my humble, and probably wrong, opinion, you need design help.

I'm not seeing any discernable "attitude" or "message" coming through.

If I were you I'd take Dream's avatars and captions for the last, oh, six months, and see what I could do.

If you could portray a common theme in your designs with that, you know you would be on your way!

Seriously, keep it up, good job.

I want to see an "Iowa Killed Buddy Holley" shirt. I have a friend that I used to work with that did his own silk screening that made a bunch of these at one point, and I could never get one out of him.

I like the designs by the way but they seem to be a little unoriginal. Accept for the last one. Keep it up.

i appreciate the input fellas, but at this point i'm not trying to start product lines here or anything (i guess it could seem like i am since i made a logo, but that too was just thrown together), i'm just kinda dickin' around... only way i'm looking to make any money from this for now is just making custom stuff. everything is still new to me, so i'm still just seeing what kinds of things i can do with my setup. i'll definitely keep input like this in mind if i start trying to make and sell my own designs though

Do shit like this,
