Hi Angelyn, this is Tim from Germany. First of all, your Videos are very educational and informative, so thanks for sharing your knowledge. Is this your full time job? Can you tell something about revenue, profit, cost etc? I have a full time job but considering to quit and make my own stuff...
Thanks for watching! I use to have my own online shop (etsy and shopify) that I ran full time for many years, but I'm enjoying teaching about my experiences more lately. All businesses and niches will vary with profit and for costs you can find it on Roland's website - I know they are carried in Germany as well. If you don't want to make a huge leap it could be worth trying to do on the side first :)
Can you show the cut feature if you wanted to laminate your stickers first? The only example I’ve found, a sheet is cut and laminated then the stickers are cut out using another plotter. Can you show this without having to buy a second machine?
What degree of blade do you use? I’m having a hard time getting it to completely cut the sticker out without damaging my cutting strip. And then once it gets through the edges are rough.
I use the Roland brand either GCVP or MCVP. Wallflair if I want something more rigid but it isn't super permanent. I've seen others use Oracal but I just feel like the colors aren't as vibrant on that for some reason.
This is really cool to see how it works in real life. Thanks.😊
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you - I would love any tips for Illustrator!

What vinyl do you recommend for stickers?

Do you still need AI to create cut lines with this machine? Can you use included software to do that?
@@ClamHammer-rn3rg if your file is a vector file then you can convert those lines into cutlines within the VersaWorks software
