I generally work in signlab 5 and exporting eps files is generally fast. I do have signlab 8 in my laptop and occassionally for whatever reasons I use it and resend the file as eps across the network so that I can open them in signlab 5 but it seems to take forever to generate an eps file!!! Is...

This is rare for me to see but I have a logo that when blown up the white keyline around the logo does not scale in proportion to what I want it to be. Is there a function in Flexi that will allow it to scale with the rest of the artwork? I can't recall ever seeing this happen before in this...

I have an old friend in the biz who is turning 80 this year. He is originally a sign painter who eventually picked up a 4b and is now technically retired. He still fiddles I guess with vinyl cutting the odd time. He called me today and wondered if I would know why when he turns on his 4b...

I was running a 2 colour job on my edge and both colours ran into this strange effect that almost looks like a fine dust powder. It is in about a 3 foot section of this roll of Avery A6 Beige. Posting a pic what you think causes this?

I have heard a rumour that Flexi has gone belly up? Could this be true? anybody know for sure?

I have a lot of Swiss fonts but I dont have the hv on the TTF font description. I have searched for it through google but have seen different versions of the same helvetica font. I just need verification of just which swiss font this is, I see it as a condensed version but also as an...

I am solo on Friday afternoons, and today it is so humid out even with the air on full I cant seemto get 48" vinyl to plot and sit correctly in the Graphtec. So I was upstairs trying to get the vinyl to relax and stop crimping and I hear the door buzzer go off. I figured who ever it is didn't...

I need to supply a customer with a forst green aluminum extrusion. Not having spray facilities what way can I spray the frame without fear of failure with paint peeling off? Spray bombs? One shot?

This is strange. I decided this morning to load my HP software for my scanner into the computer that runs Signlab. I loaded the software and I run the scanner off of a usb hub and it works fine. Signlabs security dongle is in a serial port and was never taken out or touched, but now it seems...

I purchased a new sponge to exchange with the old one. I see the old one is held on with double sided tape. Is there an easy way to replace this thing? I seem to be pulling piece by piece out. Also the sponge just sits vertical along the back of the wiper parking station? For some reason...

I am pretty good with my big squeegee for normal lamination and applications to substrates. I am afraid of this write on erase laminate. Just so you guys know it is the brand that comes on a very light minty green backing paper which is very thin, and the laminate itself must be a 1 ml as it...

I use a Blackberry and far to many times I get a number and its a word for the last 4 digits. Has anyone else besides myself noticed that you cant do that with a Blackberry? :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Came in at 7 this morning to beat the heat and find a stoneslinger parked at my back door. I cursed a bit and wondered who's it was. There was lettering on the doors and front Rad protector, and it was the last thing I wanted to do in this scorching heat.... remove vinyl that is. Customer...

Extremely hot and humid here today. The front offices and upstairs printer area are air conditioned (even that seems a bit lame today), but the back shop and the mezzanine are brutal. I just spent 10 minutes weeding some vinyl and masking and I am melting. I think I will leave early today...

I have a supplier trying to push me on this Hexis digital vinyl. I have never heard of it. Anyone here using it and if so how do you find the print quality and the cutting?

I am currently printing these 1" x 1" decals. I need 7000 so I broke it down to 2024 decals and I print 3 times and then do the last 928 or so. The first run is fine and before it finishes I send the job again. After about 10 minutes after the first print finished I am wondering why the machine...

I was sitting at my desk on the 2nd floor and I felt this strange sensation like someone was pushing something heavy back and forth and wondered...is someone moving a piano? Heck now the radio is saying that there was an earthquake from Ottawa to Toronto. Nothing major but I have never...

I have a job to remove exisiting gemini letters and then to replace them. I am not usre about this font and wonder if it is known under different names in Signlab. It is the Architectural font from Gemini? I need to make a pattern. Outside of that are there any hints on making a pattern if I...

was told by the dealer when purchasing the printer that they would ALWAYS have ink in stock. My dealer is less than a mile away and instead of always having to keep 4 inks sitting here paid for, I decided I will order when the machine gives me the low ink warning. Seeing that they always have...
