  1. Question Alternative to Flexi for Windows

    AI has always been a problem child when importing files into sl or flexi. Pen outlines instead of actual outlines mean squat to a plotter and most "designers" that use strictly the adobe products they were taught on in school have no clue about plotting vinyl.

    My safety speed cut is over 20 years old and on its second blade. Never had problem with it being out of square or even measurement off.

  19. Tips for a pattern on a windy day

    I use red EIFS tape. Expensive but works. Can be a red flag on lumber hanging off the back of truck in a hurry too. I also have done the coro trick in tough situations. Works great but you still need to tape it down.
  20. I can't import Tif files into Signlab 8
