I think you have the potential to get much better. You're better than some of the folks I had graphic design classes with in community college a couple of years ago and they have degrees now. Just gotta branch out, "think outside the box" kinda thing. I didn't get much out of the classes (as I'm...

I have brand new Omega 5 running on Windows 7, 32 bit with a Gerber Edge 1 and Gerber GSX15Plus, both with original cables. I installed Omega and was able to print to the Edge, no problems at all. Went to cut and immediately got the communications error. First we made sure all of the connections...

Bumping this up for the afternoon crowd... :smile:

I've posted a couple of threads recently about having trouble getting my old GSx Plus and my new Omega software to talk. It's not the plotter and it's not the computer so it's something in between. My guy was taking the cable off and found this loose wire and we're not sure where it goes. Will...

Do you mean in the output window, the "1-2-3" button? Yeah, it's selected and preferenced there. :( I'm thinking it must be the cable, or at least that's the next thing to try. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Does the communication cable for a GSx15 Plus *have* to be Gerber or can it be any 9-pin serial cable? I have another thread going talking about issues I'm having with my Omega 5 talking to my plotter so I thought I might as well try a new cable to see if that's the problem. I'd rather run over...

Thanks for the suggestions but still no luck. Guess I'll have to call tech support. Hoping someone might point me in the right direction before I have to do that! :)

A soft knit fabric could work well and it's machine washable. And it can be made in 1 piece.

I'm having trouble getting Omega 5 to communicate with my plotter. I keep getting the "Communication Error". Here's what I've got: Omega 5 running on Windows 7, 32 bit, Gerber Edge 1, Gerber GSX15Plus, both with original cables. I installed Omega and was able to print to the Edge, no problems at...

I've purchased the software. Thanks to everyone who sent offers! :)

Americana?

You could redesign the 2nd side without trying to make it "match" the other side. Make it look good on it's own because people can only see one side of a trailer at a time.

If possible, go out to the location and check it out before quoting. It really sucks to be expecting one thing based on the customer's description and find something totally different when you get there. Customers sometimes "forget" to mention things.

I would quote the job including 2 trips out there. If you don't get the job, well, it's better than quoting it with one trip out there because you'll end up making 2 trips anyway.

That is definitely a 2-trip minimum job. You need to go see it for yourself. You can't trust the opinions of other people who have also not seen it. Even if someone has done something similar, odds are there will be something different about it.

Looking for an old version of Omega, complete with dongle, cut & print version. :smile:

Don't blame graphic designers for not knowing how things need to be set up for sign production. Why/how would they know? Output for web, paper print, fabric print, screen print, sign print, etc. are all set up differently. You can't expect graphic designers to set things up exactly how you need...

Maybe she isn't aware that what she is doing is a problem. Talk to her.

I looked into this last year and wasn't able to find a solution. Well, none that allowed me to use any fonts other than a stencil font. I even tried to figure out a way to make basically a big rubber stamp kinda thing but couldn't come up with a good solution. If you do want to use a stencil...

I really don't like to be negative but I have to say that I really don't like any of them. The spacing and fonts are weird and the graphic looks cartoony. Maybe they can't decide because they haven't seen anything they like and they're not designers so they don't know how to tell you what they...
