I started my custom clothing business with the very first silhouette Cameo, lasted my 9 years till i upgraded to the Cameo 3, over the years of researching cutters, I realized when you want to start a business over spend and ge the best out of the gate, this is the reason why I couldn't scale my business and couldn't get out of the hobby stage and into the full time business, the cutter but more importantly the cutter motor being the bottle neck, all cameos, circuits and brothers have a Stepper motor, loud, slow where Saras Graphtec has a Servo motor more Commercial in design, a lot faster, quieter, more precise and much better stronger blades then the craft type cutter, moral of the story if your serious in starting a business don't hold off, pull the trigger earlier it will definitely pay for itself a lot sooner
Rofl. BS gets it. “Where you come to budget and then spend all your money on stickers!”😂😂
Thank you so much for all the info you have been sharing about the Graphtec! It is so helpful and I really appreciate your openness and willingness to help other shop owners. I hope to get one this summer!
I got a TON of help from a few fellow sticker shops so I wanted to help others as well!
I enjoyed seeing the cut lines on the Fmark. I love seeing your work with me videos.
Grabbed my bookmarks!!!!! So happy and can’t wait to add one to my Mom’s bday gift-it makes the perfect cute addition to a gift for an avid reader!
This is so great! The new one is so much faster. Wow! Thanks for sharing!!
It's like you've hired a new employee, you would spend $5000 on wages in a very short space of time!
Exactly!
Your brother appearing in the videos is my favorite part lately! Loved todays SMS where you come to buy stickers to budget for the month but you spend your money on stickers!! Hahahahha 💜
BS cracks me up!! And yeah, he’s right… i always feel like I spend a small fortune but i budget for it so 🤷🏻♀️. I was also wondering what type of ear phones you use. They look comfy 😁
Haha he's been singing that for weeks now! They're beats headphones! I got them a few years back as a gift! Super comfy!
I think you made a great choice with this and in the long run the upfront investment will be worth it. Congratulations 🎉
🤣 B.S. i feel attacked 🤣
Haha he's just messing! Kinda :)
I’m so happy for you! I will be very curious to see what options you can find for printers. The university I worked for had printers that cost over $100,000 each. Certainly, you won’t need anything that advanced, but I know new printer will be another pricey investment.
Holy bananas!!!
@@MamaRhiPlans That copier did everything except brush your teeth and scratch your back. There was always a line of people waiting to use this copier because it could print 40-60 colored copies per minute. (It took slightly longer for double-sided printing.) I cannot imagine the labor savings involved in using this machine. You would have thought a rockstar had been installed in our building’s mailroom. Everyone had to come and take a look at it and watch the user tutorials.
@@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore Holy smokes!!!
Can’t wait to see what you decide for printer options. Have you looked into tank-type printers? Not sure if they print any faster than the printers you currently have, but they do eliminate the plastic waste from cartridges.
I have tried tank options in the past with no luck! I'll keep you all posted if anything changes!
Are you still able to design and print in Silhouette Studio or do you have to do everything in Illustrator now? Converting cut files sounds like one thing, but having to convert every single sheet you have sounds like an absolute nightmare! Also less than half the time to cut a sheet is AMAZING. Thanks for showing the comparison!
The registration marks are different for silhouette and the imark software. I’m having to reformat all my files to accommodate the new cutting machine. It’s not as bad as it sounds but it’s a gradual process!
Thank you for sharing your videos
You could add another Graphtec without the auto feeder which is "only" approx. $1300. It would be similar workflow feeding the Silhouette 1 page at a time. Just a thought.
Thank you SO much for sharing your experience with the Graphtech! How often are checking your jobs as they are cutting to make sure blades/cuts are still doing well? Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! I usually check the first few cuts and then pop in every 20 or so to make sure it’s still going good.
tell BS that peeps can buy all those beautiful stickers because we do have budgets! No buyers remorse here! 🤣🤗🤩😎
So true!
😂Your brother!
Haha he's been singing that song for weeks now lol
I love the traveling sticker kit! Is that the mystery kit?
Yes! March’s mystery kit!
Did you try using the mat with the feeder? Will that work? just wondering if it can use to cut through the thicker materials.
Okay BS has a good point there 🤣 but hey if we don’t buy those beautiful stickers you guys will not have this amazing job 😏🤪🤣🤣
Definitely! We're SOO grateful for you all!
Hi! First of all thanks for the video, lots of helpful pointers! Today I got my CE7000-40 with an F-Mark2 feeder and I did the setup and basic calibration, but I've got a problem. The cuts get slightly inaccurate and misaligned towards the edges of the media (around the center of the sheet the cut is better but not perfect). I'm currently cutting on the A4 sticker sheets with a registration mark being 56mm (~2.2 inches) from the edge (I've entered it correctly into Imark software). I'm also running the offsets on 0 as it's not the same misalignment everywhere. I'm trying to cut 8mm (~0.3 inches) circles in a grid. I would love to hear your opinion as to what could be the cause :)
Thanks for your help and your video :)
Would you please tell me where to buy this machine & cost?
What is the biggest size you can cut on the graphtec?
I'm not sure but the website will definitely have the info! I have it linked in the previous video :)
With the Graphtec, does it pause & tell you when the blade needs replacing?
It doesn’t! You’ll have to check cuts and change out the blade when you notice it’s not cutting as well.
@@SaraMarie Kind of a bummer, but on par with the silhouettes. I’ve been eyeing that cutter for some time myself. Thank you for sharing all of this with us - it’s super helpful.
Does your A5 sticker kits fit the EC A5 ring binder?
Yes! The page sizes are the same for the binder and coil with the exception being the monthly view kit. Make sure to select the ring / binder option for the monthly view!
@@SaraMarie Thanks!!
What wireless headphones do you use?
They're beats! I got them a few years ago as a gift!
Now that BS is going to have more time - are we going to see a BS designed kit soon? 😄
Haha I don’t see BS doing any designing but he definitely gives input on each kit!
BS’s little jingle about spending all your money on stickers. 😂
I feel seen with that song BS 🤦
