Of the people who use SignLab 8, what are your thoughts of it's Super Size resizing tool vs other resampling resize programs (Alien Tools, Genuine Fractals, etc). If it works well, then I'll look into getting it, if not, I'll keep using my LXi and purchase a resampler. Matthew BlackIceFX

ok apparently 'bootlegged' was the wrong term... 'watered down version' is technically what I would call it. It's LXI Master+ from Signwarehouse. Matthew BlackIceFX

bump looking for feedback from signlab users in general.

I am using the bootlegged Flexi = LXI master+ and just watched the demo video for SignLab for Versaworks and was blown away. The controls seem much more intuitive and the process seems seamless when used with Versaworks. Anyone have any opinions of this new version? I am strongly leaning...

are you two using these programs/plug ins for wrap designs? i basically mean anything over 4ft in width or height? bump for more replies or opinions... preferably from people who have used both. Matthew BlackIceFX

Is the DigitalJuice Alientools plugin for Photoshop worth the price? I now need to have a program or plugin that allows me to cleanly enlarge photos and graphics without artifacts or pixelation. Is the DJ plugin worth the price? Or is Digital Fractals better? Matthew BlackIceFX This is for...

HOG, Why do you use 3164 vs 3651? Matthew BlackIceFX

Update: Finally was able to cut a 10.5' graphic with a full contour cut. Yay! Thanks all for the help. I recreated the CutContour as a spot color and this time it worked. ?? I won't question it. Matthew BlackIceFX

I am about to embark on this same thing. Do I need to raise the head as it is fairly close to the surface and I'd like to avoid a head strike? Matthew BlackIceFX

Sorry, that would help. I'm using versaworks. Matthew BlackIceFX

Finally getting some $$ out of the sp-300 (have had it only a week or so) and was wondering how to get the best print from it. I know it's not an epson photo printer or a VP-300 but am wondering which profiles to use for it? I am printing strictly on Aspire Calendared print media (Denco...

Thanks Stacy, I'll try it again. I thought I did it that way, but it WAS 9pm and I was falling asleep at the computer... so who knows.. I'll post if that works. Thanks, Matthew BlackIceFX

Mason, VW does not see the cut line at all, even with a 1pt stroke. I'd figure that if I had done something wrong, that it would just show as a printable line? Anyway, I'm doing another test today, hopefully it will work. Does anyone have a copy of the VW file that you load into your Illi...

well, this is going to be the stupid question of the day. I've gone through my manuals for my Versaworks and online instructions and can't get this stupid thing to work. This is what I've done: In Illi, I copy my graphic to a new layer, hide the new layer, select all the contents of the first...

How about the sheeter? Anyone using one? For larger prints than 30" I'm still subbing out but am interested in the sheeter as a app tape applicator and small print laminator. Anyone else have any experience with it? Matthew BlackIceFX

I have a SP300 being set up on Wednesday at my shop and have a big squeegee but I am still trying to get used to it. I ran across a Diage laminator for $1200 that needs new rollers. I don't have the $4k for a new laminator and was wondering how much the rollers for the Diage cost. Matthew...

holy crap, batman! That crap is expensive! Beautiful effects but for that price?? That's not even cut for designs/lettering. $15/ft average is very pricey. Matthew BlackIceFX

went to school for a year for Computer Animation and Graphics. Years later, went for a year and a half focusing on Business Graphics (combo of Business and Graphic Design). The rest is self taught or undercover surveillance of other designers :Big Laugh Matthew BlackIceFX

Fred, IMHO (H standing for humble) the strawberry tile looks too flat, unrealistic. There isn't enough depth on the edges of most of the strawberries to lend to the illusion of multiple layers of strawberries. The have the appearance of carefully outlined selections in Photoshop placed over...
