If you transfer as an eps they should keep their stroke width. You can always change the stroke on them in flexi, or expand before saving as mentioned.

Cordless hammers are such a great tool. We picked up a couple well used dewalt 36v with hepa filter at an auction for less that $50 a piece including 2 batteries and charger. They have saved a ton of time on a few jobs. If you have that many letters you will want 2 or 3 batteries ready (assuming...

We use a core as others have mentioned...

That is what everyone I have talked to has done. Without offering updated generic profiles I don't see how they expect people to upgrade. I haven't looked yet but I doubt any manufacturers (media or printer) have profiles available yet. We updated our design subscription to 19 but are leaving...

This was mentioned a by a few people in another thread, https://signs101.com/threads/anyone-update-to-19-yet.153571/ I would expect that it has something to do with the new 64 bit rip but I am not sure. I haven't heard from anyone who has discussed it with SAI, they are usually pretty good for...

At the workshop Mark had some of the not released features and they seam pretty good, he had not heard or seen anything on the sketch feature. It seams that they are repackaging some of their previous efforts in new ways. Last year they tried to re-launch signs.com and were having troubles, I...

I am going to try loading it tomorrow... I was just at a workshop this week with Mark Rugen and some if the features are pretty neat. Only 1 person in the class had updated and he had stability issues so had to roll back but I am not sure of the issues or if it was some configuration issues. He...

Quick addition to speed up the sizing in flexi... 1. draw box over sign 2. select box 3. Arrange > resize (CTRL+K) 4. Type in actual width measured from map 5. Check the "apply scale to all" box and click the check mark A few notes: This will only scale EVERYTHING in the document. Sometimes I...

We started the shelves on one of our pallet rack sections at 8-1/2 ft and built a base and vertical dividers to hold substrates vertically. It works well and is right by our panel saw. We also have a shorter section for drops.

Not sure I would eat at a place with a hay baler in the yard, ha ha.

I think you will be very happy with that setup, we run graphtec plotters and currently an older RS laminator but looking to upgrade. Just a heads up, the crate for the epson is HUGE compared to some others. We needed a forklift along with the liftgate to unload it. Its about 10' long, 4' wide...

I have not noticed any less durability with our epson compared to other eco-solvent inks. I just ran a thousand decals for a customer who gives them away and left them unlaminated. After cutting them apart with a Metoschnitt I did not notice any scratches or damage. Ink adhesion and durability...

They get heavy, over 100 lbs for the big rolls

Interesting problem, definitely part of the manufacturing or processing as mentioned above. None of the other solutions seem reasonable to me if you are running thousands or even hundreds of them. I would guess that you are not purchasing top quality material if you are running high quantity. My...

Like others said, unless you have someone dedicated to production I wouldn't worry about the speed. We added a S40600 last year and have been very happy with it. My guess is that you wont be running it more than 2-4 hours per day on average (depending on what your main market is). You will learn...

Discount steel is always fantastic to work with and I am very fortunate to have them close by me in MN, they have a TX location as well not sure how close they are to you. https://www.discountsteel.com/locations/index.cfm?PAGE_ID=30

https://button-fix.com/files/Technical_Global/Technica/Button-fix_strength_testing-report.pdf They have a couple others for other materials as well. I didn't look at them to see what type of fastening was used. Most of the application examples appear to be indoor architectural paneling...

Any of you ever use the button fix system before? Its a neat panel mounting system from across the pond. https://button-fix.com/ I am not sure I would trust them outdoors for a long term install but they have signage examples on their website and lots of loading and testing data. I came...

I have a Epson S40600 and a Mutoh 1628x currently and would probably recommend the Epson. I got the Mutoh as a used deal that had the white and silver clog up from inactivity, we refurbed the machine (new lines, circ pumps, head, etc) and converted to dual CMYK and have been running it for a...

I am on 12 sp5p4 build2898 (I believe that is the latest build) and it seams to be working fine. It also might be what you are trying to export that is the issue, if it is a non-transparent bitmap you are trying to export it will not automatically make it transparent. You would have to use the...
