My First Tag

Let me know what you think about it. This is the very first one right off the press(in every sense of the phrase). I thought y'all especially might like what my very first tag was and how it turned out.

Uh oh..did you get locked up or something? Does the state have you making license plates now?

That looks really good. We're required by the DMV to run a front license plate but I wouldn't mind having one for shows and such.

Gee thanks. I guess it was only a matter of time that I get locked up in Huntsville.

Same in TX as well, but not in TN.

I would just hang'em up in the room, tack room, garage etc. Even have one on the horse trailer.

That's so they can get the plate pictures at the red light cams.

Yeah, it's too bad we have to display the front plate. But the cops seem to ignore it unless you are stopped for something else. Watch traffic coming at you sometime. Seems like about half the cars don't have one. My brother ran a Minuteman front plate for several years and never did get dinged for it. I guess it is just a fixit ticket if they snag you.

I might be in for one of those. Depending on what else you come up with.

When I got those tags, I also got a shipment of 11oz coffee mugs and 14oz travel mugs, but I should also be able to do 20-22oz steins as well. All that I'm waiting on right now is the bigger heat press and the attachments for that to do the mugs and caps(right now I'm sure about being able to do heat transfer vinyl, I don't know about sublimation(that's what I would be doing with the mugs, license plates, coasters etc) as of right now). I'm hoping to get that press and attachments this Friday. The equipment is actually coming from y'alls neck of the woods, Geo Knight is the company.

There is also an attachment for my machine, but I didn't get it as I was unsure of the demand, that would allow me to do sublimation on plates.

There is alot of stuff that I can do sublimation on that is really too numerous to mention. If any of y'all have particular wants, feel free to PM me and I'll let you know what I can do. I think y'all would be surprised. I can even do the little door **** signs like you have at hotels, those "Do Not Disturb" ones. Travel ID tags for luggage, dog tags(for people). A lot of stuff.
