  1. Looking for critiques of this sign frame

    The layout of this sign isn't what we wanted, but the regulations gave us 24 sq. ft. and a max height of 5' so options were rather limited. On a budget of course, so no fancy post covers, just painted wood. Just wanting some honest feedback on how 'professional' it looks for a painted wood...
  2. Are sign professionals just giving up?

    My latest slogan is 'The Customer is Always Wrong". But we keep that in house. I feel a lot of this is the dumbing down of society in general. Smart phones make stupid people. Square layouts to fit on a 4'8, horrible fonts, way too much wording, etc. has driven me to just smile and agree with...
  3. DGI Omega OM-130

    Oh, pretty sure that is the fix, I had a spare (dead) OM-60 in my shed, raided it for the cable, and i'm back up and running.
  4. DGI Omega OM-130

    It sounds like a bad ( or loose ) ribbon cable going to the cutter carriage. My 17 year old OM-60 just started doing the same thing today, except it made a lot of horrific noises before it died. I figured the belt was going bad, and just wanted to finish the job I was doing. When I popped the...
  5. Flexi running slow on Windows 7, fonts?

    Upgrade you OS HD to an SSD for huge speed increase I have been building my own PCs for over a decade, and the single biggest performance upgrade I have ever witnessed is using an SSD (Solid State Drive) for the OS and programs. The HD is the slowest thing in your PC, so upgrading it makes a...
  6. Will older Flexi work on WIndows 10 ?

    Adobe CS3 Design Premium totally hoses Windows 10 So, I got Flexi 8.1 to work in Win 10. but Adobe CS3 seems to be a huge fan of forcing you to dual boot with Windows 7. If anyone has an older version of Adobe Photoshop and Acrobat Pro running on Win 10, let me know what your install process...
  7. Problems with coroplast

    Free Dirt? You're lucky. My supplier charges extra for all the dust, dirt, and occasional footprints. Unlike me, I always throw in some cat and dog hair on my signs for free. People hair too. Although I charge double if it's a pube.
  8. What's the best material for a shaped aluminum sign

    I use Alupoly and a trim router I use a product from Peidmont Plastics called Alupoly. A generic version of Alumacor, same stuff as Max Metal from Grimco. Runs about $50 for a 4x8 sheet of 1/8"(shh, don't tell my customers) Cutting it with a trim router with a 1/4" bit cuts like butter. almost...

  11. Page Jumps when scrolling up?

    I've been using Flexi 7 series for several years now, and I have always had a bug when scrolling with the mouse wheel. When I scroll down, the page/drawing moves one line at a time as it should, but when I scroll up, it moves 12 lines at a time. I know it's not a machine or installation glitch...
