I would be cautious. What kind of service comes with an inexpensive machine? JB

Do you cut direct from Illustrator, or are you exporting it to another program? I sometimes have a similar problem when I send an Illustrator file to SignLab. SignLab will import .ai files and that is when the problem usually occurs. I have found that the problem disappears if I...

We've been having a discussion on the sandcarving forum about this very same topic. I received 24 & 45 mil samples one time that were as tough as leather and were un-cuttable even on a Gerber GS15 with extra weight added to the knife. As you may already know, the material (pvc) gets...

A&E is a great magazine. You will glean many ideas will learn of new opportunities as well. Definitely a good investment. Jim

Looks like I need to make my own "joke / humor" folder and "inspiration" folder. Thanks for the tip! JB

Gerber GS 15 for less than $700 on ebay. Less than 10 minutes after the auction ended, a friend gifted me with the money and then said "put it to work". That cash cow has been paying out for the past three years...and it's twenty years old. JB

It makes me wonder why people drop big change on a vehicle and then settle for magnets instead of a nice lettering job? JB

It's funny you should have the same problem. I received a file yesterday from a customer with an embedded photo in CS4 that will not release either. Help! Jim

Inventory I've gone through this many times with my accountant (wife) and I'll second the motion that it's no fun to squabble over the particular ins and outs of "cost of goods sold". She tracks what we buy from the invoices and all I have to do is let her know how much remains at year end...

Thanks again. We found the dongle attached to a Gerber GS750 that a friend found on Craigs List. The owner had purchased the plotter with a bunch of other equipment and he just wanted to get it out of his way. Here's the sweet part: He sold the plotter (with dongle) for $145! We...

Thanks guys! Jim

Greetings, In a former life, I was a tool and die maker and high school teacher (vocational machine shop and CAD Drafting). Machining / manufacturing will always be a first love, but after long consideration, I decided to bring those skills "in house" five years ago and begin a stone...

I purchased some equipment which also included a blue dongle for Graphix Advantage. It has a six digit serial number on one side and small white label on the other side in which the lettering has disappeared. Are Graphix Advantage CD's "programmed" so they can only work with a specific serial...
