  1. Stardock Fences...a sure time saver

    Further cool stuff.... It appears there's no limit to the number of fences you can put on a desktop. It allows you to swipe through multiple "pages" of icons...just like on a smart phone. JB
  2. Stardock Fences...a sure time saver

    Win 7 seems to have everybody's ire up with the icons not staying put on the desktop. I have several dozen shortcuts and icons on the desktop, and every time I log in, they're always moving about. I tried every quick fix suggested...short of messing with the registry...to no avail. I...
  3. Hs15 plus adjustments?

    Have you removed the knife holder and made sure it is absolutely clean? Also, clean the bore so there's nothing that would cause the knife holder to drag. Do not oil these areas. JB
  4. Hs15 plus adjustments?

    Perhaps the cam bar has lost its timing and is not coming up to top dead center. Not sure if that type of adjustment is listed in the manual. JB
  5. Hs15 plus adjustments?

    There is an adjustment pad that is actuated by the cam bar in the back of the machine. It is located underneath the cutting head, at the back. It can be adjusted so that the lift fork drops down a little lower without regard to down pressure. Go to Gerber's web site and download the HS...
  6. Quilter's logo

    Awesome, but my eye keeps getting hung up on that piece of thread that wraps up and around the "A" at the top...at first glance I see "CA". That dangly piece of thread looks somewhat lost up there as well. So...instead of the curly cue of thread up and around the "A", how about wrapping the...
  7. Tender Sites for job picking/bidding?

    I've seen those web sites from another perspective (contract manufacturing), and to be honest...they're all "dog-eat-dog". If you enjoy that type of business model (and the associated stress) then go for it. But be well advised that you'll most likely be competing with every "good ol' boys"...
  8. Strange small cut before plotting starts

    I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you've somehow turned on an automatic knife "initialize" function either on the plotter itself, or in the software. You can further verify that notion by watching the direction it goes when it makes this little cut. If I had to guess, I'd say...
  9. Question on file architecture for saving customer artwork and work files...

    We create a directory using the customer's name, and then we paste the following set of folders whereby we categorize things by file type (shown below). Most of the application folders (AI, Corel, SignLab, Gerber) have ready-made templates (or "tuned" preferences) that are ready to start a...
  10. Will I live to see 90?

    Sad to say, most middle-aged men have no clue of the left anterior descending artery otherwise known as the "LAD", and the dangerous condition called the "widowmaker". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_interventricular_branch_of_left_coronary_artery) I became acutely aware of it...
  11. Old Retired Dodge lawn art

    Sad to say in our neck of the woods, that's considered an "everyday driver", and EVERYBODY has one in their front yard. JB
  12. Password manager recommendation

    I like to use a password protected MS Excel Spreadsheet or .pdf file. If you have access to a web based email system, you can store it an a mail folder and still have access anywhere you go. JB
  13. Should my pregnant daughter be weeding PVC sandmask?

    My daughter usually does the majority of weeding for our Hartco 310 sandmask. My gut reaction, now that she's six months pregnant, is that it might not be appropriate due to the skin contact with the material. It's made of PVC, and the material is constantly outgassing (slight presence of...
  14. What can't you live without?

    The orthotics in my shoes. I can't stand for more than a hour or so without them....they're kinda like "contact lenses" for my feet. Jim
  15. Would I benefit by puttting in a SSD drive in my five year old computer?

    Ditto... I purchased a SSD for what I thought would be "lightning fast" backups of my HDD...only to find out that it was no faster due to the slower write speed of the HDD...doh!:banghead: JB
  16. Where to buy "Marker Acct" a Gerber Font

    Not if you get the layout station (design only, no cutting)...that would only run $900. There have been tremendous deals on ebay in the past year or so. I bought a new, shrink wrapped, version of Omega 5 LS (layout station) with dongle for $250.00, and shortly after that bought a used copy...
  17. Heat Embossing ABS Plastic

    Hot stamping may be the way to go. I have a small machine for sale...I left a voicemail on your telephone. Jim
  18. Converting .vef fonts to .ttf or .otf

    Type the entire character set, convert to an .eps and then convert each character (individually) with a TTF font editor. It will be time consuming, but it is possible. JB
  19. Changing my business name...some advice from insiders....

    Perhaps go one step further. We go by "Name & Company" and just below that in smaller text, we have a partial tag line stating the nature of our business. For example (not really our business name): Jones & Company Floor Restoration With the rapid pace of technology, it's...
  20. Gerber GS15 plus won't boot up...Help if you can.

    Rob, I left a message on your phone, but I'll be out this evening. Here's a .pdf manual for a GS15+. It's essentially the same machine except that it has the KMS feature. It should work for what you're doing. They're also available on the Gerber web site. PM me your email...
