This was created on a meme generator website, you just type in the text and it auto-generates the picture, definitely not an indicator of my layout skills. Illustrator is of course better than Composer in a multitude of ways (layers for instance) and vice-versa. Just thought this was a fun...

This is a little ongoing debate we have at the shop. Us old salty dogs who grew up on Composer are trying to educate the youth on sign specific tools that are just missing in Illustrator ;)

I should clarify we run into this problem only on occasion. Most of the time it works as it's supposed to. The other thing you could try is by dimming or turning lights off by the machine. Sometimes glare on the surface of the laminate can change how the eye reads the marks. If we're really...

I've been having intermittent issues with Composer files not being properly ripped in ONYX Postershop and the colors come out muted. In the past w/Composer 5.1 & 2.6 we would reboot both computers and the issue would go away. We recently upgraded all our Composers to 6.5 and the issue has...

As Joe just said, you definitely need to load it as a "SHEET" and not a roll. I was told this by a repair tech and this is how we load all our prints. I've run lengths up to 20' with simple cuts in this manner (Although I don't recommend it). It's critical to make sure the alignment it is as...

We actually do have a Keencut but had not been able to get decent results still. We did however do a little digging after some suggestions here and found a video showing the most common mistake in cutting foamcore and as some others had suggested here, BLADE ANGLE was the culprit! Adjusted to...

To reiterate what's already been said. We wrestled quoting against other shops for a while but you'll see some things and just scratch your head. We now have no problem telling people to take the cheaper price if it's way out of line and we'd be losing money on it. Even regular customers. We...

We rarely use foamcore as we never get requests for it but I have a project where the customer will not accept any other substrate substitution. Having worked with it in the past we always had challenges getting clean cuts. Didn't matter how sharp the knife was, how fast or slow the pass was...

Thanks for the feedback! Any chance you can expand on this point for me?

Hey All, We've been casually looking at adding a flatbed (FB550) and/or a finishing table (Kongsberg X24) to our lineup for the last year or so but more and more it's feeling like the flatbed at the very least is a necessary investment for us. A little background. Our main bread and butter is...

We use Motowrap line of vinyl from Convex for sled wraps . It's rated to lower subzero temperatures than the normal Convex material that we use for MX/ATV/SXS. 7mil proshield laminate on the sleds for a finished thickness of 11.4mil. We are using the Graphtec FC8600 for cutting. We had a feed...

How Did this work out for you? I'm looking for a new place to get templates to service our MX wrap (finished product) customers. Motosports templates cut us off from ordering because we've launched our own line of templates. Mostly for snowmobile right now but we'll be doing more machines over...

We'll be uploading our entire catalogue of snowmobile templates for purchase over the next few weeks. I've personally built each one and I'm completely OCD about them. I started doing them myself after I became frustrated with what was available on the market at the time. Each sled template...

How do you find this machine for motorsports aside from the green issue? I'm looking at the DC5 to replace my EDGE FX as the FX simply requires too much labour hours to print a kit with 8 colors. I stumbled across the DC5 the other day and it looks like it would make way more sense than doing...

We recently purchased some assets from another company that closed their doors. They had an EDGE FX setup so we were able to upgrade from our EDGE II setup and are now selling it off. Both our EDGE II and the Envision have been close to bombproof for us. We bought them in August 05 and replaced...

Hey everybody., Long story short I had a file that was deleted from my desktop and put in the recycle bin and then the recycle bin was emptied. I was able to use some data recovery software to locate the file and recover it BUT now when I try and open the file it says it's not a Gerber .PLT...

Having issues with head strikes on banner material on the s30. I've raised the platten gap as high as it can go and turned the heater down to 30/30/30 and still have the same result. It seems the issue is caused by puckering at the rollers which is causing the material to rise up to the head...
