  1. What kind of shop do you have?

    I went from a home-based shop in my apartment to a small storefront sublet in a UPS Store location on a 6 month lease with option to renew upon a renegotiated rent amount come June '06. Well the store has been sold and the new franchisee told me the new rental rate today - I'll be moving...

  2. Creation PCut 630 Gaps

    Oooops, forgot to mention the offset. Jean-Claude

  3. Creation PCut 630 Gaps

    I'm running the same model and never have any issues like you are talking about - make sure your blade is sharp and adjusted properly and you might try increasing the downforce pressure a bit more. Good Luck!

  4. Acquired old Gerber sign making machines

    Can't help you on the software side of the old Gerbers but as for a monitor I used two old second-hand monitors over the 5 years I had the sprint unit. I just bought them from the city and school surplus sales, old green display types (SVGA??) for $5 each at the time. I miss the reliability...

  5. What Size Cutter?

    24" Rav-en (or Creation CT630) with WinPCSign Letter software.

  6. Masters 24" - Any thoughts?

    Downforce is the amount of pressure (or weight) being put on the blade as it cuts through the material. The old Gerbers used sets of stacking weights to accomplish this task. My PCut machine is similar to yours and for 3mil vinyl I've got it set at 68 if not mistaken. You'll need to play around...

  7. Masters 24" - Any thoughts?

    They aren't as noisy as the old Gerber 4B's and Sprints. The noise from my Pcut machine is mostly the blower when its turned on, cutting is pretty quiet compared to other machines using stepper motors like the old Gerbers did. No need to wear earplugs or anything :) Good Luck! Jean-Claude

  8. Masters 24" - Any thoughts?

    I almost made the mistake of buying from Desay, got nervous when I wasn't getting straight answers about shipping dates and other stuff after sending a bank transfer for payment. I got a refund and called Blair at Corbin Graphics in Edmonton AB to order a Creation Pcut 630 or a Raven as they...

  9. Is this software any good?

    Sorry OP, I wasted your time with my question. Started to install Corel 12 only to discover that it can't be used with Windows98se. Grrrr.. back to WinPC for a bit longer. Thanks anyway! Jean-Claude

  10. Is this software any good?

    Old Paint: I've got a Corel 12 cd here and was wondering what other programs I'd need if I wanted to use my Creation P-Cut (Rav-en from www.corbingraphics.com) cutter with it instead of the WinPC that came with it. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks! Jean-Claude
