rofl i think it goes with the business ;)
i hate to think how many mugs i've thrown away as the image wasn't spot on
or T's that i've wrecked
the main one that springs to mind was a big order i had for a coffee shop
the owners name was DEBBIE
i was doing some samples for her while she was here and her name kept coming out upside down and for the life of me i couldn't figure out why
i wrecked 3 shirts

try it on a scrap piece of material or something and you'll see what i mean by the name DEBBIE
the name looks the same upside down as it does the proper way :)

I'm proper annoyed now!!!!!!!!!!!

I was deleting files from a server i wanted to clear not relising i was connected to the wrong server and i've just wiped all my site files for new engraving website haha

i had backed it up the other day so managed to get the part of the site back just not all the products i had added, images and settings.

Well i suppose that will teach me, bang goes over a weeks work.

Hi Matthew,

Just a quickie....thought I would mention that i use Metaza (mpx 80-had it a couple of year, but i think they are largely the same) if you need any tips etc....very simple to use though, good luck!

How's the engraving going Matthew?

Question please mate - can you engrave graphics (i.e a logo), or is it just text? If so I could have a few jobs for you.

Many thanks
