Talk is cheap...NO SLOGANS...you're a sign shop, let your work do the talking. People like "eye candy"...visually stimulating stuff. Yeah, sex sells...but it shouldn't be used for a sign shop. Ultimately, advertising activities should be driven by a marketing plan. It's important to have a...

I'd say that looks like a pretty deep wound. Had it been turned 45 degrees toward the anterior, he might have had much bigger problems. JB

Absolutely love these kind of photos... JB

I think you should totally re-create your logo in vector format without auto tracing. You'll be using it a gazillion times in the future, and it's best to do it right the first time. JB

Thank you Tony. I'm running an Omega 4 demo and will also be using Omega 4 (CS). I checked on the Sentinel config and it mentioned that there was no driver installed...I am assuming this was because it is currently demo software. JB

One more bit of information.... I've had issues in the past with a SignLab dongle conflict on my previous computer (Win XP) whenever I downloaded photos off a camera with a USB cord. If I plugged in the camera and then started SignLab, it would give me a hasp error and then need to be...

I'm considering getting Gerber Omega. Does anybody run Omega on the same computer as SignLab 8? I'm wondering about possible dongle conflicts during bootup. Any answers? I'm currently running an Omega Demo and there is no conflict with both programs running side by side. Will that...

Most vendors have trial software that allow you to try them for 30 days. I would rather decide what works best for me based on a little bit of experience rather than just somebody's word. If possible, load them all and run side by side trials and take good notes as to what you do and don't...

Without knowing your budget, we can not help you. Give us some numbers. Cost, productivity, simplicity and an effective product are four totally different animals. I use some software that is simple, yet un-effective in some areas. My effective and productive software is expensive and...

Kudos on going about it the legal way. I'm sure people download viruses, etc...when they get cracked versions. That frustration alone could be potentially more costly than the initial investment of legit software. You've been given a lot of very good advice. Seamless operation will pay...

Oops...the title should have said "Wooly"... JB

Don't waste the entire day on this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OekjcEARgg8&feature=g-sptl&cid=inp-hs-edt JB

Does it not bother anybody that there is no shadow from the top half of the 2? The shadows just don't jive. Had someone been REALLY creative and, dare I say REALISTIC, it could have said "I5" (with the correct typeface). Dang....I coulda gotten like a bazillion bucks for that idea...

Very cool. Ok...now, I want to know the science behind the magic.... JB

Price, Quality, Service....pick two. Interpretation for the uninitiated: You only get two at the expense of the third. JB

Whoa....that's only a starting point. You need to price according to your costs, not what somebody else says. You also need to plan for equipment repair / replacement...that'll make a huge difference. JB

It's absolutely a no brainer - you've been on the "inside" of both of these businesses and have observed how they operated without your help. I surely hope you paid enough attention to learn their weaknesses. If so, your battle is already half over. JB

Is anybody upgrading to Gerber Omega 5 in the next few weeks? If so, I'd be interested giving you a few bucks to allow me to purchase the $195.00 Layout Station that is on special through September 25th. You get the LS for the special price when you upgrade to Omega 5. I'm...

Bernie, I'm currently running 3 design programs along side each other (SignLab, Illustrator and AutoCad). I've found there exists a wonderful symbiosis that compounds the usefulness of each. JB
