#162597Updated business ventures
Sup folks just wanting to update you a little. Some might care and some might not.But after a few months of investing in the equipment to do thermal transfer and vinyl graphics I have just about recooped my initial investment. AWSOME. That money was going to be used for a kit.
I have landed quite a few accounts locally and has really helped making that skrilla.
I have decided now rather than purchasing the aero kit to invest in a silk screen set up. THis will allow me to give my current cliental more options of designs as well as more cost effective pricing on larger orders. I will also be able to keep some of those orders I had to recently turn down because could not match or meet local competors priceing and did not want to weed out 300 shirts using vinyl...
Anyways I am doing my research as allways and will purchase the correct set up to meet my budget and needs. I am looking into a 6 color press. I am pretty excited because want I could not do with thermal transfer I will be able to do with silkscreening.
llike I said some of you may care and some of you may not but just wanted to give you an update as to what I was up to these days.
oh yeah and I purchased a sublimation printer and here are a few shirts I made for myself using a combo of heat transfer paper and vinyl.
This is a combo of printed opaque for black paper with gold and red vinyl
This is just the opaque for black using my plotter to cut the outlines of the letters that was then applied and heated to the shirt
This was just a custom designed shirt I made for a local client that holds texas hold em events
using silver metallic vinyl.
Oh yeah and I finally made a Previa inspired for mdenoga and all you previa fans..
this is what it looks like in my cut software
Once I get a few more designs cranked out I will most likley return as a vendor and offer you folks more options and what not but untill then these pics were just as reference.
