  1. New client with a one-off project...wants to do ACH payment.

    I've seen it posted numerous times, but I have a new (reputable, and rather large corporation) client who wants to submit payment via ACH. It's a one-off project (boulder engraving), and I highly doubt I'll ever do work for them again since it's going to be a fairly permanent sign. I have no...
  2. Flag Pole issues

    Perhaps a bit of weight added to the outside lower corner of each flag would help curb their exuberance. JB
  3. Need Help Client Organization

    You'll still want to integrate with Xero or any other compatible program. JB
  4. Installing 9.1 in windows 11

    I've been flawlessly running SL 9.1 on Win 11 since March 2024. It installed without any issues, and I didn't have to download any special drivers. JB
  5. seeking tips for selling stickers online

    In all honesty: You - are - definitely - not - ready - to - do - this! JB
  6. California PERP Law?

    It's the other PERP, not the one you're thinking of. I was just looking at a Schmidt sandblaster eBay and noticed the PERP tag, so I looked it up. F.Y.I., this sandblaster has no engine, so I'm assuming that its dust emissions could be construed for pollution, if not for the (pricey) tag...

  9. Signlab 11 disappointing

    Currently using SL 9.1. I've seen very little change in the UX and UI since 2006, when I first started using it (v6). JB
  10. Need Help Client Organization

    I agree. One or two misplaced/lost client inquires will more than pay for a year's subscription of CRM. I use Workflow Max with the lead-generation add-on. It's a project management program and it's 100% online and features a mobile app for easy access to all my documents when I'm on the...
  11. Advice Needed: Brass Letters Inset into Marble Floor Circles

    Matthews offers bronze plaques that are in-filled with a composite granite admixture. This would be the most durable long-term solution aside from using solid marble. JB
  12. Advice Needed: Brass Letters Inset into Marble Floor Circles

    The safest, most precise, and the most economical way to do this is by abrasive water jet. Cut the marble, cut the brass, polish the brass, and then install. No two ways about it. JB
  13. Does anyone know what the black coating is?

    Hammertone or orange peel. Both finishes are similar. One is desired, the other isn't. JB
  14. Art Path generating cut path male/female

    Is it just the screen resolution, or do you have breaks between your arcs? Honestly, your issues with ArtPath are consistent and seem to be pointing to that fact. Start over and draw the design again, except with square corners. Then, go back and apply the radii to your sketch using the...
  15. Art Path generating cut path male/female

    Essentially, it boils down to semantics. It defines the "gender" based upon which side of the line it cuts. Usually, "conversational" CNC controls typically define this as "cutter compensation". You are given the choice of placing the cut path left of the line, directly on the line, or to...
