Thank you for sharing … I’d been using my cricut maker for little over a year. Now I recently was given a us cutter 53” And a Large variety of oracal 651 vinyl … super excited!!
God Bless you Lumedia! I have been through the ringer with drop shipping companies, and silkscreen shops, I am a Graphic Designer and obviously have had an interest in all this stuff but hit a hard spot with another job, saw this video on the side panel and clicked it. You shook me out of my head, and led me down the HTV rabbit hole. I can't thank you enough for the info in your videos. I have bought the things I need and have my self a nice setup. I literally have thousands of designs which until now I had no idea how I would ever get them out into the world. Not only am I doing clothing, I have a much larger understanding of the vinyl cutting industry and have zero doubt, that I will be putting my design skills to work in an industry which I have dreamed about my whole life. Thank you again. Great video, great information and very helpful to see your wife joining in as well. It helped mine to see herself getting involved as well.
Good video, Lumedia. I purchased a US Cutter 871 a couple of years ago. Their software, VinylMaster is really good and competitive with the rest of the stuff out there. I am self-taught, it took me about a year to master the software. Now I have a website and I do decals for folks around my area by word of mouth. I'm not getting rich but I am having fun with it in my old age, 68. Long may you prosper.
When I look through your comments and see alot of hearts.....I know your a real one! Thanks Bud. Okay so what if I have $1000 to start a t-shirt printer biz? What would you get first!
What do you suggest? I was gonna get a press that said 5 in 1 mugs hats and all this kidda stuff! What are your thoughts? I borrowed this money to do this and I'm trying my best to minimize risk. I don't have a customer but luckily no investment either! Should I start with shirts only? If I do. You charge more for designing the shirt right? I have sooooo many questions. Your a master. Much respect! Your so creative. Great vidz bud.
Easier way to center...fold shirt on half, quick press to make crease, fold your vinyl in half, make crease at top and bottom, line up creases on vinyl with crease on shirt and print.
Wow thanks for the help I'm trying to start my own tshirt business for a semi truck and classic trucks will be looking for more of ur videos gob bless you
Awesome video man.. I just graduated from high school and was thinking about starting getting into this business and having time to become my own boss here hah.. Feelin way more pumped about getting started🤙
Just bought this exact cutter! I was never offered sure cuts alot software..... only vinylmaster. My main thing is how did you know where to adjust your pinch roller tension to?? I have fiddled to the point of exhaustion, but they still leave horrid marks.
Hate I’m just now finding your content, but I certainly appreciate it. I’m trying to get into making my own apparel, but have had no clue where to start. Thank you so much! Also, I see that Steam icon lol
Thanks for the info dude, made me grin when Blaze started playing in the background (my sons just got into it lol) I’m at the starting to collate information stage atm. 🤘😎👍
I really like your style. You are a very big minded person. I will definitely count on your help. I am grateful for you willingness to help. I am counting on you big man Thanks
I appreciate the video....I've been using stencils an spray die to do shirts an everybody likes emily but with vinyl I could do a lot better work ,,,more professional anyway ...an man that's what I'm going for doing my own thing man I'm tired of working to get by an it's even worse when u see people u know moving up an I'm still stuck doing the same shut not going nowhere....I ain't hating on nobody I'm glad to see people do good I just want a piece of that...but anyway liked the video keep up the good work
If this is what you’re passionate about, the. Go after it bro! I started with an old laptop and RUclips when I started teaching myself graphic design. I make great side money making shirts and decals and now RUclips! Keep on pushing you’ll Get there!
Thanks for being who you are you are a blessing to others I’m own my way to starting up thanks for the information and tips blessings to you and your family I subscribed and like and will share 👍🏾
Nothing technically gets printed. The vinyl cutter just cuts the design into the vinyl. You select the color you want. Then place that color on the machine. Select your design to be cut, and send it from your computer. After that you have to weed out the decal. Once it’s weeded out you put transfer paper on it and boom your done.
Good stuff bro! I've been dabbling the vinyl game for a little while, mostly decals. Nothing professional, more of a side hustle. I do have a question though, I'm not sure if it's my heat press or the type of shirts I use but I get a crazy discoloration on the shirt. I do the quick initial press to smooth out the shirt then apply the graphic, graphic looks good and all but where the heat platter hits the shirt leaves an almost "burnt" square. Thankfully I did a bunch test shirts for myself and saw this before offering this service to my hustle. I've followed the manufacturing heat settings and also check the platter at all 4 corners and the middle with an infrared temperature gun ( non of them match in temp). So my work around for now, is to just heat press the whole shirt so it doesn't look so bad. Sorry for the long post/comment but, I was just curious if you had any tricks to combat this... Great information and really appreciate the links to the stuff you use..
Hello, I have a vinyl machine at my place that I'm trying to setup. I have it hooked up to my laptop but I need to help the computer and vinyl cutter communicate through the correct software. Please will you be able to assist?
Hello, I really enjoyed your video. Thanks for the information please keep them coming it’s phenomenal information for a person who wants to start a business. I look forward to seeing more videos.
We're about to order transfer paper & was thinking of going with opaque heat transfer paper for dark shirts...is this a good choice with an Epson WF-7710 inkjet printer? And do u use sublimation bulk inks or dye based inks? what INKS transfer the most vibrant color for Tshirts? Trying to handle my own Music clothing brand instead of having to spend money on designers that we need for our music biz... Really appreciate any info u could give us....thx. Also do u know which 5 in 1 heat press is the most durable?....or are the 5 in 1 heat press machines not worth buying?
The paper is great! I’m sure it will work just as good with the Epson, just make sure to use the Same settings I mentioned. No sublimation ink is required with this paper. Just regular ink. As for the heat press, I don’t use an all in one because I feel the cable for attachments is cheap on the lower end ones. That being said I do not own one. I have a separate heat press for each thing.
Thank you very much for your sharing that with us by a clear explanation! I like a guy who lets the other one how to do business with a piece of real basic equipment. It was a very useful video. Could you please let us know how to use a UScutter machine to cut a contour shape without using special software?
How to screen record 8:59 For windows built in one. it's Windows key + Alt + R Just to let you know. Btw Thanks a lot your more help then most. also this vid made me Subscribe in 2 min.
Hi ya. We used Adobe Suite in Design school. I wonder if you ever used Procreate. I am more of an illustrator. I found AI hard to use in school with a mouse...Procreate seems to draw in vector-type lines. I wanted to design drawings on my iPad and then print them on heat transfer paper for t-shirts. Have you used it before?
You can definitely use procreate to make your designs! I have an iPad Air 3 with Apple Pencil and I do most of my drawings there and just bring it into ai to make it a cuttable .svg file.
Hey man, i bought the MH 871 MK 2, but i am having serious problems with the feeder rollers imprinting on my vinyls. Have you had same issue, or how did you deal with it? Can i just use say a cut mat under my work? I have adjusted the pressure from all the way down to all the way up, honestly the brass nuts are almost falling off and still the imprints of the knurls on the feeder rollers are on my decals, even days later.
@@Lumedia Yeah , bought it new from US Cutter. They have been NO help. so im returning it. I guess my best option , without spend more than $400 is the silhouette cameo . Thanks for the reply, and good luck with your business.
@@322doug im stressed out now cuz i got this too but did not get to experience it because i got sick for 3 weeks. Ztilll am. Now im wondering how it will give up on me lol
I think I need a one on one for ya bro. I bought a whole bunch of stuff after my Pops passed away last October & he was only 50!! (Head on Collision) He was 100% in the right, so that was good. He left me a little $ and I got all this stuff and don’t know what to do with it. I just want to make T-shirts! Please help. Thnx. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
God bless you for sharing your tips and suggestions. I am so grateful I bumped into your video. Did you print the sign on Heat Transfer Vinyl? Is that why it is transparent vinyl? Thanks.
Also where can I buy Gildan t-shirts in Canada. I used to buy Gildan t-shirts in Vancouver BC but I think the company moved to California. It's called basic blanks. Now I heard about basic apparel that's in Vancouver so I'm going to see if they stock blank Gildan t-shirts. I like golden there a really good quality t-shirt I've used them for many years. I paint cars on t-shirts in fabric paint one-off t-shirt a car done in fabric paint. I sell them for $100 each Canadian or $75 each us. But I can't find Gildan t-shirts right now.
Your a legend! Thankyou for going in the details, id appreciate the tips and tricks. I really want to start this business but I'm a bit iffy at the same time. Would love to hear how much time it takes to do an average shirt and how long it took you to get your business kicked in. Ta
great videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences. I'm looking into starting my own business and will continue following your videos for more information.
Lumedia Thank you, all the cutters I’ve looked at say not compatible with Mac including the one you showed. I just wanted to ask someone who’s actually used it, thanks again.
Thanks for the video! It’s awesome! If I may ask what type heat vinyl do you use and why temperature are you setting up on your heat press? Thanks in advance
Just subscribed! Thanks for ALL the great info. Definitely going to start up a small business plus i think it would be awesome to be able to just design your own clothes if it takes off GREAT but im mostly in it for the fun of it! What do.you chatge for one side?? Two sides?? Do you charge more depending on size of design as well
i appreciate the video and also the cells like people always be like are you gonna buy the cricket so expensive a tool is a tool best way to start 💕 it ty
Hey thank for the info you have provided, I just bought a mk2 721 us cutter used of Craigslist but the guys did not have the software that came with it. I have downloaded the inkscape, can I cut vinyl right out from the inkscape. I didn't know that I had to pay for the us cutter software. Please let me know if printing from Inkscape is possible.
Is it better to make t shirt designs and upload them on Amazon or to print the designs on t shirts and sell the t shirts (establish t shirt bunissness)? The way I look at it is that, why would I bother dealing with printing, shipment etc.. while I can just make the designs and upload them on Amazon and Amazon take care of the rest? Am I missing something?
Well that would depend on the type of business you have. If its just your own branded apparel you are selling, then yes something like a print on demand would work fine. Except that would be about the only thing that would benefit. Having your own equipment allows you to make custom things as customers come to you. Most will want things within a certain window of time. Not to mention most Print on Demand websites (printful in this example) I have heard are not the best. I have never used on in the past so I cant 100 percent say its full truth. But ive heard enough bad things about them.

Select your design to be cut, and send it from your computer. After that you have to weed out the decal. Once it’s weeded out you put transfer paper on it and boom your done.
the heat press you listed comes with all the sublimation attachments. You find your self using them alot?
I have a very old press. But a buddy has the one listed and it’s worked great. I use the regular press and my mug press a lot.
Good stuff bro! I've been dabbling the vinyl game for a little while, mostly decals. Nothing professional, more of a side hustle.

I use the Neena 3g opaque dark garment paper. It is listed in the links!
You prefer Neena g3 over Oracle?
Do you know of any cutters compatible with Mac other than the Cricut and Silhouette?
The one I have listed works with Mac. The software sure cuts a lot pro works on both windows and Mac.
Lumedia Really? Thank you. I’ll look into that one.
No problem! If you have any more questions let me know!
Lumedia Thank you, all the cutters I’ve looked at say not compatible with Mac including the one you showed. I just wanted to ask someone who’s actually used it, thanks again.
What type of printer is that and the paper type to use ?
Hey what’s up bro where do you get your vinyl from ?
Fellers, us cutter, amazon, locally at a store called aviva.
Thanks for the video! It’s awesome!
If I may ask what type heat vinyl do you use and why temperature are you setting up on your heat press? Thanks in advance
Many say if you press the shirt first for a few seconds it will knock out those wrinkles..
Lol are you talking about the shirt on the table? I haven’t even prepped it to be pressed, so I would say those people are right!
Thanks for the information. I am thinking about starting my own little business since I am disabled it would be a little bit more income.
Updated video coming out soon! But yes!!! Do it, I believe in you!!
Great video dude! Best one I've found so far!
Thanks for watching it!

What do.you chatge for one side?? Two sides?? Do you charge more depending on size of design as well

Ayyy!!
Can the Vinyl cutter only cut in white or does it have a Ink slot?
Can only cut one color at a time. It is not a printer.
Whats the difference with the heat press and vinyl?...
could you be a bit more specific with the question?
Have you ever uploaded straight from photoshop to the uscutter program?
I have not! If I’m doing a decal I design it in illustrator then save it as an SVG file and import to sure cuts a lot!
Hi,,
Is photoshop free to use ? Not in description. Thank you !
It’s not, but you can use gimp, photopea, Inkscape all for free
@@Lumedia awesome, thank you!
No problem at all!!
Do you wash with hot or cold water in the washer?
Subscribed !!! Pricing ? How do you price your shirts and where do you buy your shirts from ?? 😁
Pricing varies! I use shirts from Walmart and michaels. If you want a good site to order large quantities check out jiffyshirts.com!
Hey thank for the info you have provided, I just bought a mk2 721 us cutter used of Craigslist but the guys did not have the software that came with it. I have downloaded the inkscape, can I cut vinyl right out from the inkscape. I didn't know that I had to pay for the us cutter software. Please let me know if printing from Inkscape is possible.
Is it better to make t shirt designs and upload them on Amazon or to print the designs on t shirts and sell the t shirts (establish t shirt bunissness)? The way I look at it is that, why would I bother dealing with printing, shipment etc.. while I can just make the designs and upload them on Amazon and Amazon take care of the rest? Am I missing something?
Well that would depend on the type of business you have. If its just your own branded apparel you are selling, then yes something like a print on demand would work fine. Except that would be about the only thing that would benefit. Having your own equipment allows you to make custom things as customers come to you. Most will want things within a certain window of time. Not to mention most Print on Demand websites (printful in this example) I have heard are not the best. I have never used on in the past so I cant 100 percent say its full truth. But ive heard enough bad things about them.
