• Hello All!

    Posted by Andrew Daniel on October 25, 2005 at 10:58 pm

    What a huge forum this is!!! … How did I miss it while looking for sublimation equipment and advise?!?

    Ok, I am a multimedia student doing a ‘Hons’ top up after graduating last year so I am a little stuck with employment as I am in uni for 5 hours a week and work only on weekends part time.

    And thought I’d use my computing skills and a little investment to earn some money.

    I did a little research with what I could use my photoshop skills for (also doing freelance web design) and graphics seemed to be the trick.

    Sublimation seems a very popular start for printing and when I saw a full set up on E-bay (went for £1,000) I made my mind up.

    I have recently purchased a AW Airwave 15 x 15 heat press that should be posted tomorrow and will get to me by Thursday, and currently looking for a Epson 1290 printer & CIS with sublimation ink.

    I have a top of the range PC with 2Gb Ram and an Athlon AMD Athlon 4000+ 2.41GHz processor so I am sure I’d be able to run most programs.

    So I guess I will be looking for advise and tips here before I start buying anything else.

    Andy.

    Thanks for the warm welcome guys 😀

    Been busy looking at all the threads you got going (I’ll be here ’till 4 in the morning the way I am going (yawn) )

    Still researching before making a decision on 1290 printer or a PC60?

    I guess I will need both at some point though.

    https://www.uksignboards.com/viewtopic.p … pc60#96639 was an interesting thread for this … just scared of starting another one and getting flamed for not using the ‘search’ tool. 😳

    Shorty I will have a lot of orders for rugby tops in different colours with numbers and names 🙄 . I don’t want to limit myself and on the other hand one of the companies I am the web designer for is thinking about having some cheap T-shirts he can give away at bike shows or a mug or two. 🙂

    Hi Andy

    Welcome to the boards 😀

    Great intro and you even loaded your pic …. with no top on … with your chest showing and everything … nice shoulders 😮 :lol1:

    You will never get flamed for asking anything even if it is a repeat question …. in some ways its good to bring up older topics as there are always new peeps coming along so its handy and always a good way for the regs to add their bit again.

    Anyway … lots of stuff for you to read through, look forward to seeing you about the place.

    :welcome:

    Thanks.

    Bit of a forum nerd so you’ll have no problems with me asking ‘How do I upload pics’ or anything like that.

    As for the picture I was a little limited with what to put there as my new PC has about 12 images on it 3 of which are of me 😎

    I thought the only people replying to my ‘hello’ post at 1 o’clock on a weekday morning would the the Yanks? Proved wrong already 😉

    I have had 3 forum ‘say hello’ threads turn into 5+ pages in the past and I think this is going to be another 😳

    Hmmm calander … I’ve done a naked one before with uni so I guess wearing anything would be quite boring to say the least 😉

    My birthday is January too.

    PS My firemans suit isn’t fire proof so I’d rather not get involved with any naked flames … just naked ladies :lol1:

    Two lads are talking and one says, “I know of this great pub where they give you a meal, free drinks all night, and then you go out the back for as much sex as you like.”

    The other one replies sceptically, “Oh yeah, and have you actually been to this place yourself?”

    “No”, says the first, “but my sister has.”

    I guess people getting naked (boys & girls) is enough to get anybody clicking.
