Hello all, I am currently using Gerber Omega 4.0 software. When trying to output my cut files to my Summa S75 D series cutter, I get an error code reading Communications error on: Cannot Open USB: for Spooling (file name) I have tried the instructions through the help dialog box, I have also...

Definetly plus one for Summa!

Gerber Scientific Products?

One employee at our shop has looked into GraphixCalc. Anyone care to comment on this product?

It says on their web page that you need to be a regular church attender, not smoke and use alcohol moderately. (if at all)

We have moved away from installations other than to apply vinyl to windows and vehicles. Most signs are cash and carry. Occasionally (rarely) we will do a post and panel install if it's a no-frills, easy one. The (2) options we offer our clients are these: 1) Have a third party of their...

Anytime you have something like this, don't bother going about it the way you describe. Simply search Istock photo, CanStock Photo, Fotolia, and similar services. Locate the artwork, purchase the license for it in the size that best fits your needs. Then set the type over top. Should not cost...

Quite sure he'll find some sucker to fall for this. It's a shame, too. I have an intense dislike for people who wrap themselves up in the cloak of Christianity, for the sake of adding credulity to their fake and phony scams. ie: (may God bless you abundantly)

I don't see this as difficult to quote at all. There's a finite amount of space on each one. (assuming they are all identical) The factors that play into any print, laminate and install type job are in play here. Plus your design time if it's a custom pattern or layout. So that much is fairly...

You're asking if we think this is a scam? REALLY? Whatever gut instincts you have to post this and even raise the question, should alert you. Of course it's a scam. Does this fit any kind of pattern of customers inquiring about work? When have you ever seen something like this when it's NOT...

Lowes's or HomeDepot have 4'x8' sheets of shower enclosure board. It's 1/8" thick. We've used it quite a few times. It's about $13.00 per sheet. It's only 48" by 96" so it might not work for you, this time.

Does anyone familiar with this particular software know of any way to retrieve a corrupted file? We sent a file to VersaWorks to print yesterday. Printed fine. Then yesterday we sent a separate file to Summa for cutting. Files prepared in the normal fashion. Today we find that we're unable to...

Yes, and no. We had a tech come out and he said we needed the main PCB board. He got the machine to actually work while he was here, but recommended strongly that we order the part. So we did. It now sits here in a box, un-opened because the machine has been running flawlessly ever since he...

I guess I'm being picky, but one thing that you see on this forum is a "stone in my shoe", so to speak. Why is it that otherwise knowlegable signmakers continually refer to cut vinyl letters as "die cut"? At our shop, we simply say "machine cut" which to my mind is more accurate. I do realize...
