I’m not sure if Josh will see this message or not…I am curious if you have any information about t-shirt generators that were mentioned in the sales and marketing section of the predictions? We purchased a Versacamm in ’09, and I’ve been debating how to add customized shirts to the site. A shirt generator app would be an awesome addition!

Thanks,
Gene

Josh is now working with Stahls’ CADCUT Direct, a division of Stahls’ ID Direct, which sells CADCUT materials, heat presses, cutters, everything related to garment decoration. So the answer is yes, the products are similar.

Hi Susan,
Great question and in my opinion you are correct to be concerned about adding screen printing to your production capabilities. There are so many environmental concerns that play a role for screen printers, as well as a hefty learning curve when it comes to multi-color designs and printing on difficult fabrics such as nylon or caps. Embroidery is another option that has a learning curve as well as limitations when it comes to doing certain types of artwork or on certain items. There also seems to be a trend, especially in sports, away from embroidery since it can be heavy and irritating to the wearer. A VersaCamm is a great option and you would not be limited to 2 colors, the VersaCamm is a full color digital printer/cutter that can not only print full color digital transfers that can be applied on any substrate when the correct materials are used, it can also be used to print everything from full color banners and signs and many other things that could help grow your business. I recommend you visit the website printcutpress.com and you will probably have all your questions answered regarding how a VersaCamm can help your business. If you have any more questions, please let me know. thanks for reading!

My husband I and I heat press shirts for local schools and we also use our cad cutter for names and athletic uniforms. We really don’t want to get into the screen printing part of the business. We are thinking about adding an embroidery machine or the versacamm to our hobby business. Which do you think would be the better choice for expansion? If I go versacamm then I wouldn’t be limited to a mascot with only 2 colors, correct? Do you have any specials on the versacamms?

Thank you,
Susan
