Nothing really earth shattering...just a drag knife, believe it or not. We'd been cutting with a tangential knife on our Gerber GS15 for the past nine years. We were backed into a corner earlier this year with some material that wouldn't weed effectively no matter what settings we used...

Although this isn't a vendor shout out, it is a member shout out to Gino for assisting me with some Gerber plotter tooling. We were just about ready to throw in the towel with a difficult project when I remembered a particular thread Gino had posted earlier. To make a long story short...

Bob, Thank you for your assistance. Having never done a macro before, do I enter this into the in the function bar? I will visit Google for specifics on how to do this. Thank you, Jim

We do a lot of text merging with SignLab and now we need to change over to Gerber Omega. For SignLab, we use tab delimited Excel files saved as text. Gerber Omega does not allow tab delimited text files. I need to take an Excel spreadsheet like the one on the left (supplied by my...

Excellent idea! I found the Weber Model number 6551 grill cover fits my Gerber GS15 perfectly. At only $12.00 each, I bought an extra for my backup plotter. They're heavy-duty vinyl with a fabric lining. Way too cool. JB

Bravo! I'm assuming you're also a Dilbert fan, right? He's my hero. JB

I'll bet he's spent numerous hours in detention...for flying paper airplanes in class. "That's nice Billy, but you'll never amount to anything throwing paper airplanes all day long"...said every one of his teachers. Look who's smiling now. JB

Take a few months off and visit some of the (forced) liquidation sales. There's a lesson to be learned at every one of them. There always seems to be a "big selection" of stuff they weren't able to sell and it goes for pennies on the dollar...or even less. Also, brush up on the basics of...

I would encourage you to take a bit longer look at your surroundings. What aren't the others doing? What markets aren't they serving effectively (or completely avoiding)? What else can you bring to the table that they can not? These are the places to start. I realize you have to start...

Hoooweee....I just found out that the old Graphix Advantage 6 dongle I had laying around is worth just over $2,350.00. Yep...that dongle that's been rattling around in my desk drawer for years, that eventually made it to a storage box somewhere and was almost thrown out several times...

Thanks, I remember somebody here was responsible for the Scrappy, but I couldn't remember who it was. I may have to resort to using the thicker sandblast mask (Anchor) due to the PITA factor of having to tape the thinner mask to a carrier sheet. We have an extremely large order and the...

Is anybody using a Gerber Scrappy? Basically, it's friction feed adapter for sprocket fed plotters such as the 4-Series and the GS/HS series. I'm possibly in the market for one as well. I'm having trouble getting (fresh) Hartco 310 blast mask that is sprocket punched and was wondering if...

I'm in need of approx. 4 feet of 15" wide sprocket punched (Gerber) reflective 7 mil reflective vinyl. It can be any color, so long as the integrity of the adhesive is good. My only other concern is that it be 6 to 7 mil thick. It's more or less an R&D project and color doesn't mean a...

Welcome to the forum, it's a great place for learning. I'd suggest you take an afternoon and sift through some of the posts concerning this topic. Do so with an open mind, because there tends to be a bit of snarkiness out there. You are on the threshold of a market rife with...

This is Iowa. Hawkeye, yes...eagle, no. JB

Give us a brief idea of your business model so we have a bit of an idea where you're coming from...and where you're headed. JB

A customer notified me that the American Legion had banned smoking a few years ago and that they urgently needed to get rid of their smoke eaters (http://www.smokeeters.com/smokeeter.htm). They only wanted $100 for the pair, and normally they sell for over $2K each, brand new. I never knew...

Cool project... Is the printed circuit board graphic printed on clear, or is that cut vinyl? JB

Since we now live in a digital world, I take every advantage of it. I pre-qualify my customers by having them email several photos of their potential project. And since almost everybody has a printer, I ask them to tape a piece of printer paper (8-1/2" x 11") on the substrate (when...

Tiki- Many thanks. Is the "Gardens" something hand done?
