  1. Workflow with printer and Plotter

    I don't know either because my plotter doesn't have an optical eye sensor, but it is my understanding that you have to add the registration marks to the print file in your design program. In other words say you have a graphtec plotter, you have to add the marks that a graphtec can understand...
  2. The Local Competition

    I don't own anything fancy, I just have friend that is a contractor and he rents me a 45 foot Genie boom lift whenever I need it for $150 a day. I can't own anything that cheap because most of my work is shop work and not installations. I just build an extra $150 into the price of the install...
  3. The Local Competition

    Well... I am not saying you have to have $100,000 worth of equipment to put signs. I don't either, but man these folks were installing that sign using hose clamps, and the main structural crossbar that you see above the sign was an 8 foot long piece of galvanized electrical conduit. Tell me how...

  8. Will Signs101 email replies to your posts to you?

    Thanks! I thought you could... Somehow I missed the "thread tools" options.
  9. The Local Competition

    I can't seem to sell many signs in one small town near me. Well today I went to the grocery store and while I was in the parking lot I finally figured out why. I just can't hang with the competition!!!:frustrated::frustrated::frustrated: Have a :corndog:! :iamwithstupid
  10. Will Signs101 email replies to your posts to you?

    Some forums that I am on will email you when there are replies to posts that you are watching. Will signs101 do this? If it does I haven't found that setting.
  11. Can mom and pop signs shops compete with established digital players?

    Talk the talk, walk the walk, but never BS customers. Make sure you can design good solid designs that are assets to your customers, sub out what you can't do and bank the check. Develop and use good people skills, don't lowball, cultivate long term customer relationships, utilize social...
  12. Sheet set error

    You need to clean the sensor that reads the encoder strip that rides on the print head. Mine does that from time to time and that fixes it. I use a piece of paper towel and some rubbing alcohol. You will probably need to get into the service menu and run a linear encoder reading and also a...
  13. Interesting Vendor conversation

    The ink can be dry to the touch but if ink touches ink (printed area touches printed area) anytime within 24-48 hours it can cure together. Then if you pull it apart it's not pretty.:scream:
  14. Qty-8 1ft x 8ft 3mil Dibond Signs....What would you charge?

  15. Long time Member, Now a merchant!

    I have been a member here at Signs101 for several years. I always wanted to be a contributing member but kept procrastinating. Well I signed up as a merchant... I figured if I was spending the money anyway I might as well be getting some advertising from it. So without further ado I would like...
  16. Double pass setting?

    Don't feel bad! I have been looking for that too. ;)
  17. Setting up CutContour in X5

    You said you were using an RGB color? That is your problem. You have to use a SPOT Color. You are trying to use a Process Color. Read the Corel help on creating a new spot color. Then name that color CutContour. It makes no difference what color that Spot Color actually is.
  18. SP-540 Not Completing the Cut Job

    I am not following what you are saying... Which printer Icon? I don't see anything about Margins. Thanks for the help!
  19. SP-540 Not Completing the Cut Job

    I will try to make this understandable. This has been happening repeatedly for the last several days. I designed a small decal. (1x2 inches), with a cut line. Exported as an EPS from Corel X5 and loaded into Versaworks 4.0. I set the job up with 105 copies and sent to the printer. The printer...
