  1. Registration marks with Illustrator CS2

    They sure are. They're up in corners way out of view. How do I get them inside the print area so I can use them for cutting? Thanks for the help.
  2. Registration marks with Illustrator CS2

    I'm setting up some files to cut and I need to print out registration marks. I've checked the box in Files>Print>Marks & Bleed and they still don't show up on the output. What am I missing?
  3. Looking for a basic version of Macsign

    Update/Another question: If possible, I'd like to look at all options to cut on my D60. If I'm using Illustrator CS2, what would be the least expensive options to cut? 1. Are the plug in options worth the $? 2. Is a bridge program a better option? I can get Macsign Cut through Summa for...
  4. winplot

    I just installed Winplot (downloaded from Summa site) and got this same message when I tried to open it. I'm running XP. Anyone run into this?

  6. Question on dongles

    Thanks guys. No wonder it was so cheap.
  7. Question on dongles

    I came across an old version (6.something) of Flexi for sale. It is the original disks (I've seen them) with user and password and manual. The only dongle the owner has is not for sale - she's using it. She said it came with her cutter, not the software. Are there universal dongles that can be...
  8. Today's lame question

    Thanks Bob. That's about as thorough as anything I could hope for.
  9. Today's lame question

    Mondo and Dale, would you mind elaborating a bit? It sounds like your doing the exact thing I'm trying to figure out. By the way Dale, I received the squeegee and it is awesome. It's amazing that such a simple tool would work so well. It's well worth the money.
  10. Today's lame question

    Thanks for the replies. What software would do this?
  11. Today's lame question

    I've searched and haven't found the answer to this. If you have a printer and a cutter (separate machines), how do you design, print and cut? Let's say I have an HP Designjet, working in Illustrator and would like to take the printed output to the cutter (Summacut D60) for contour cutting. Is...
  12. Question on vehicle graphics

    I've searched and haven't found an answer to this. I have Photoshop and Illustrator and I'd like to practice designing vehicle graphics/wraps. I've asked a few people and everyone has different opinions on what is the "best" way to to this. How can I take photos of a vehicle, import them into...
  13. Feedback for business plan

    Thanks for the reply. The Colorpainter is actually a demo unit that comes with full warranty. It's only been in one shop (Seiko dealer) for about four months. Thanks for the heads up on the Daige. Will the big squeegee do the same work? I've seen the videos and heard nothing but positive...
  14. Feedback for business plan

    I'm putting together a business plan for a banner/sign/digital print business. I'm starting with applications and markets and trying to calculate costs to figure out my break even point. This is what I'm looking at so far: New Seiko Colorpainter 64s - $20K HPZ3100 (44") - $6K Laminator -...
  15. Feedback on 50" Refine US Cutter

    But are they any good? Just kidding. Thanks for the reply.
  16. Feedback on 50" Refine US Cutter

    Does anyone have any experience with these cutters? I've seen a couple for sale but have not found any feedback from users. Thanks
  17. Which printer?

    Matt, you bring up some good points. What is the 64" Mutoh actually selling for? I believe it lists for $22K?
  18. Which printer?

    You can get an HP9000 right now for about $20K. HP is doing some kind of promotion with cash back/rebate incentives. Of course, it's a "offer ends soon" kind of deal.
  19. Newbie needs advice

    First of all, thanks for the replies. It's awesome that you guys have formed such a helpful community. I'm planning on working at it part time and my wife will be working at it full time. That will take away some of the financial risk. My background is in sales/marketing and my wife is very...
  20. Newbie needs advice

    I realize there will be many opinions on this but here goes: I'm interested in starting a sign/banner/display graphics business. I'd like to start out of my garage until I can afford a commercial location. I want to keep costs down but I don't want to go so cheap that I miss business...
