  1. 4Over/Bepo Alternatives

    Alright. I have made it clear in another thread that I don't like 4Over's Bepo only accepting the Authorize.net gateway. The problem I have with Bepo only using Authorize.net is that Authorize.net's interface sucks compared to lets say PayPal's. Looking at the transactions and details is MUCH...
  2. 13' Box Truck - Straight Cut Vinyl

    Here is one I did Friday and Saturday. The photo is not the actual because we forgot the camera yesterday. I actually bartered this job and some more for a snowmobile. It was my first box truck. The customer chose the font and colors. IMO, the Capital District Services should have been all...
  3. VectorArt Mega Collection Question

    Alright. I own all 3 VectorArt collections and they are cool. I notice that when I go to their site, I can search for images. That is cool too. What I am wondering though...is.... Why don't the images we find by searching on their site have a book (1,2,or 3) and page number so we can easily...

  5. Channel Letter Cleanup

    I have a customer that wants me to clean up their Channel letters and replace the plywood backings on them. This would be a first for me. It is 6 letters that are 1.5' tall by maybe 20 feet wide all together. They are about 15 feet up on the side of the building. It appears the red faces are...

    The error comes up in Cutting Master 2. I just ran into this error this morning for the first time ever. I am using Cutting master 2 with Coreldraw X3 on my FC-8000. I was cutting the same file last night without a problem. Any idea how to remedy this? I did do a search and found something...

  12. Proven media for the SP300V?

    For all of you Roland SP300 owners that have found what works good and what doesn't. I am working on a 3 year financial spreadsheet for my business plan and want to include supplies. I realize that some media is probably great for a lot of different things. Which media and size are you using...
  13. Which Graphtecs for new shop and mobile?

    Alright. After a long winter of reading here. I have decided to start up with a cutter or two. This will be much cheaper to see how it all works out. I'll outsource what I can't make. Learn as I go and not dive in head first with 15K + in equipment to start. The reason I say "a cutter or two"...
  14. North Eastern Dealers?

    Besides Hyatts, does anybody know of any other North East based Summa dealers? I am in NY and was kind of looking for a full service Summa dealer that carries just about everything I'd need to get started cutting.
  15. Summa or Graphtec for my money

    I want to be able to cut up to 20 mil laminate on top of various printed (outsourced) and layered media and am at a standpoint where I'm torn between the Graphtec FC7000Mk2 and the Summa S Class T Series (not sure the D Series can pull through the corners and 90 degree angles) plotters. I don't...
  16. Designer or Print & Cut?

    Alright, I have asked in a couple different places to no avail so I will ask here and hope for a prompt answer. Need to hear the opinions on the software real soon as I am ordering probably on Monday. First of all: Price is not a factor here. There is only about a $400 difference with Signlab's...
  17. New SP300V...have some rip questions.

    I am picking up a new SP300V and GX24 (for mobile) and am considering SignLab to make my designing and such less hassle for me. I am told by Beacon to just use SignLab Designer (just under a grand) with Roland's Versaworks. They said that combo works real good. He told me that people are...
  18. Corel bought out Ulead?

    I have noticed that the new PhotoImpact X3 is now solely Corel. The box for the older version had Ulead and also a Corel logo on it too. It always used to install to a /ulead directory but now this new X3 version installs to a /corel directory. All I can say is...Corel took over Jasc's...
  19. Leasing?

    I have around $5000 for startup. Right now I have nothing and no experience. I've played with a lot of photo programs over the years and people say I have a good eye for logo design. I've never worked with vector images and such before though. I was considering leasing equipment for startup...
  20. $5000 startup

    I am wanting to start up in the sign business. I realize it's best for me to start out with a cutter and work up from there. I can contract out the printing jobs for now. I would also like to sell/install window tint, window screens (back windows of trucks), automotive side graphics and such. I...
