    Edit the advance distance and have a non-jank clean cut
  2. Tech-Challenged Boss Reconciling Online Purchases

    Just tell me that the boss doesn't look at figures on screen, write them down in a notebook, add them up with a desk calculator, write them down, then type them in on a keyboard without a number pad. If they do, please keep them, because they are our boss, and ctl-c ctl-v is voodoo, witch...
  3. Looking for slitter recommendations

    Perhaps, an old plotter used purely for the drive control mechanism - I'm assuming that hpgl or similar is an open standard. Fit the drive with sufficient rubber/silicone pinch wheels... Perhaps even incorporate an optical sensor, to read a basic barcode (say a double black line to act as a cut...
  4. Looking for slitter recommendations

    If you wanted real long life blades, and supports, rotatrim sells sells spare blades, cutter heads and mounting bars. Or razor sharp Olfa cutters. But dismantling HDDs is way more fun.
  5. Best Shop Management Software for Working with Multiple Product Catogories

    An estimating engine that could be added into an existing solution would be amazing. Gets converted into, and tracked through a job, then through to an invoice. Bonus point$ for help exporting this to Sage, Xero, etc!
  6. Looking for slitter recommendations

    This has to fit into the diy equation somewhere Looks like it could help with dust. I was googling ultrasharp pizza wheels
  7. Difficulty cutting Ultraboard & PVC on Steeltrak Keencut

    I've got the 210cm version. What is the temp in your unit, and how fast are you trying to cut? 5mm should cut clean on one pass if you go slow, 2-3 passes if it's cold. Years ago, I ordered a load of "ultra-smooth" PVC, thinking I could use it instead of DiBond (for mounting gloss prints), but...
  8. Best Shop Management Software for Working with Multiple Product Catogories

    Just checked, (and Gulp) FMpro11. I've done test openings, and latest desktop version has no problem with the data. I'm thinking of just using the Filemaker hosting, as our IT department wears many hats, but I'd hate to miss out on any major advantages by being on prem. We're moving locations...
  9. Best Shop Management Software for Working with Multiple Product Catogories

    We're in the process of updating our aged (FM12) database - I'd been wondering about the advantages of continuing to host on premises or in cloud. One of the things we're looking at is connections to our website (simple product orders) as well as out to our accounts software (sage cloud). Would...
  10. Hard wearing mouse-friendly vinyl

    Thanks JB, I'll have a look.
  11. Hard wearing mouse-friendly vinyl

    Six years should do it. Logitec mice have those nice PTFE feet, but the bigger mouse on the right looks ready to take on any colour control action that might be hand to it. Now if 3M owned Munsell Color, I'd be able to spec the perfect neutrality I crave.
  12. Hard wearing mouse-friendly vinyl

    With that Dinoc stuff, we could make mouse(user) cages, and they'd never know
  13. Hard wearing mouse-friendly vinyl

    Dinoc looks like a strong contender, thank you. I think an antislip desk top would lead to much spilled coffee - people don't tend to expect resistance on a table top. But a vandal resistant laminate might work. However, I've seen mice play very badly on some gloss surfaces.
  14. I've been Asked to be a Contractor

    Kid you not, I recognised the pattern, not the object (have one I use for camera scans)
  15. I've been Asked to be a Contractor

    I think I still have a couple of those cutting matts

  17. Canon Pro 2100 for stickers and decals.

    I run a few rolls a month of IJM 538 (long term) and IJM 528 (6 month removable) on an old 8400, cold laminated. Some of these have been subjected to years of London exposure. Depends on who you're selling to, and what your permenace threshold is. These are calendered materials, so subject to...
  18. Hard wearing mouse-friendly vinyl

    Got a potential order to wrap some desk tops, grey. These are a mix of existing 80's, 90's, 00's solid office desks, almost all with a nice smooth roundover. Requirement is neutral grey, hardwearing, and capable of surviving (well, being used with) Apple's god-damned awful optical mice. I'm...
  19. Recent problems with Signs365

    Hey, where's the love for FireSprint? I wish we had them available to us right-pondians (though I do blame them for my descent into the second circle of FileMaker, encouraged by a few others here).
