So true, I can't remember how many times this has happened - they need it for the morning then turn up 2 days later!

A bit of breathing space - not being collected until 6pm tomorrow evening now

That means I can finish a little earlier and watch Jeremy Kyle on iplayer now (ooops, did I say that - lol)

@AdamB Both Jeremy Kyle and Coronation Street - you must lead one hell of a boring life :biggrin:

I would rather visit the dentist than watch either of those shows lol

Good luck is the first point!!!

I have just had exactly the same although I think mine is a little easier. Got my Versacamm installed yesterday and casually mentioned it to a customer of mine. Was going to have a little play today but alas, this particular customer has come back with an order for 5000 kiss cut stickers that need to be shipped tomorrow.

Have no idea how long the job is going to take as its the first one with this machine, but at least all I have to do is sit there and watch it print

Simon

That will be a doddle on a Versacamm....have fun

Out of interest, how many m of vinyl are you using for the cut to take 14hours - how many garments is the job?

Not measured in Metres logobear as I work in strips as most of the cutting I do during the day is ran through a Sillouette Cameo.

The design is quite complex (i.e front and rear print with logos and text plus website address etc) and there are 60 t-shirts in total.

I only agreed to the job as it was an instant profit and with the bank holiday coming up it's a little extra food on the table for the rug-rats - and, more importantly, I compared it to a recent job of getting just over 130 t-shirts printed front and rear of a similar design that we got done in about 48hrs .................. but I did have the mrs weeding for me then (doh!).

I should add that I use the Cameo during the day as it's quiet enough to run and talk to customers at the same time - for evenings I have a larger cutter that can be ran but to be honest, the speed difference is minimal between the 2 and the cameo is a lot more accurate for intricate designs.

Finished!!!!

Had a Versacamm before but did not realise how seriously good these machines are.

5000 stickers in about 4 hours ish, all kiss cut and weeded.

Now to catch up on the Real Housewives of Orange County LOL!!!!
