I usually cut to my Graphtec, but this morning the black rubber on the lowest pinch wheel is somehow come loose and I will be waiting some time for a replacement part. I decided to hook my Signlab up to my Summa d140 plotter. I hooked up through usb to a strange port on the back of the summa...

...Signlab 8 Can't figure out why it shuts down any time I try to import a tif file coming out of illustrator. Is there a fix?

I have never seen one of these before, but I have a customer asking for a sign to be screwed onto a manhole cover. I am a little concerned as to how I would do this and be satisifed that anything I provide him would stand up to the punishment it could take from cars and trucks running over it...

These guys got sold a real great voip system... I have been trying to call these guys all day and the phone just goes silent after you call. No ring no nothing. I even called several of thier numbers for different locations across the country (Canada) and nada. Tried emailing, no response...

I get a call from a pretty good customer and they want a price on 9500 laptop skins. I have to come in at .25 each. It is 8" x 10". I don't figure that to be a skin but just a decal, but even then, with lamination you just can't do things that cheap. Who does stuff like this so cheap and...

This is a little long but it needs to be said as I am so sick of getting shafted...I would never do this to a customer. ...so the story starts....I bought a grommet machine many years ago from a company that sells the grommets. They are not really a sign supply place, but more of a fabric...

My Summa d140 seems to only run off usb, and is hooked up to my print and cut computer. I also have a graphtec hooked up to my Signlab computer for all general vinyl cutting. I wanted to start using the Summa to cut from Signlab but the cable would be about 25 feet long and I think usb has...

I have a Graphtec FC4100-130 54" plotter and it is a workhorse. It has to be 15 years old at least. It started last week making this clackity sound running on the y axis. Quiet when running the x axis. I can hear that it is coming from under the cover and not the head unit. Cuts perfect...

My memory fails me, but is it possible to send a cmyk bitmap through to the edge and print it in white? I was pretty sure you could do that but forget how.

For the most part my Edge sits idle these days but every once in a while it comes in handy. Today was such a day... I was running a 2 colour job and on the second colour after I loaded the cartridge and hit the print button, the Edge started it's usual whine, but just sat there and then went...

I have a request to do these.... I have no idea but figure it must be some very special material that I am unaware about. Anybody ever hear of this?

Just curious how some would approach an install like this? Grommets along the top every 2 feet. From what I understand the hotel does not mind screws in wall to hold up banner, that will be for 2.5 weeks only. With the weight of a scrim banner (what they are requesting) will this work? I...

I have probably asked this before in here, but can't seem to find it. I don't build sign frames very often. If I have a frame 196" x 24", how large should I cut my roll stock to fit properly? I am using the 1" wide ex12 extrusion. Thanks

does this look correct...what is this white thing?

I was sent an eps file from a customer. I imported it into Signlab and found that there was some stroke data that was giving me trouble so I emailed the eps to my designer and when he was opening it in illustrator he casually made a comment that the font was hilighted in pink and that he would...

I need some education on these. How does it work? Is there software I can buy that will allow me to input numbers to generate the codes and custom design, then print laminate and cut?

So basically like the title reads.. I want to be able to nest the graphics and break them apart but they are on 4 different pages

Tried calling Grimco in Toronto this morning and I get a taped messagae that the number is out of service. Tried the 1 800 number and the same. Then tried calling Montreal... The same. Next tried Dartmouth and it actually rang, but no one answered. These guys going out of business? wtf?

I think these little cutters are remarkable. simple idea that really comes in handy for cutting away backing paper. The only flaw with the device is that the blades can get dull and then suddenly in the middle of holding a rather large piece of vinyl , the cutter refuses to cut and instead just...

I had a job where the client wanted the same logo in different sizes and different colour combinations. After setting up the file in Signlab, I exported to Flexi and set up a contour cut and everything for one logo. I then arranged all the different sizes, so I could print once for each colour...
