  1. Upgrading from Flexistarter 8.6v2 to Flexistarter 10, worthwhile?

    This sounds like just what I am after. Can I for example import a image file, add a contour cut line outside it, and tile multiples on a sheet like you would tile multiple similar items in production manager for cutting? Also, can the program add registration marks for Roland cutters, so you...
  2. Upgrading from Flexistarter 8.6v2 to Flexistarter 10, worthwhile?

    Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to respond in order: From what I have found out, print+cut is indeed featured in flexistarter v10, it is the main new feature separating it from v8.6 that I currently have. Here is a link to the features in flexistarter v10...
  3. Upgrading from Flexistarter 8.6v2 to Flexistarter 10, worthwhile?

    Any input on the cut+print feature on flexi, or suggestions to alternative reasonable cut+print software would greatly be appreciated :thankyou:
  4. Getting a Mac and switching to Illustrator

    Well they have been since the 80s with the same situation that you describe all the way since then so... By products for pc vs mac, do you mean adobe products, or products in general? Or to put it another way, of all the people who owns a PC that I know, maybe 1 in 30 has a Adobe program...
  5. using rockstar logo for mx decals?

    Talking of using Ford logos, a local aftermarket car parts company use the different car brand logos on their webshop, where you choose what brand you are looking for parts for. They got a letter from Ford telling them to remove the logo instantly, or legal actions would be taken against them...
  6. Norway says hello!

    Norway says hello back at ya :) Velkommen!
  7. Some signs from other places (well, at least they tried!)

    Found these beauties on a website.. Lost for words... unlike these signmakers :D
  8. Big Squeegee a HUGE Help!

    I placed an order shortly after I posted in this thread earlier today, and have just now received a tracking # for the already shipped shipment. Great service! :)
  9. Big Squeegee a HUGE Help!

    I got prompted to order from the foreign orders page since I'm located in Norway, rather than the web page listed in step one over here. Does the offer apply to customers abroad as well? Ready to place an order if it does :)
  10. Die Cut Vinyl under rear wiper

    If the window is clear (untinted), cut the vinyl mirrored and apply to inside of window? At the shop I worked before starting my own, they did not warranty cut vinyl on car glass, only on body panels.
  11. Dinosaurs?

    I was planning to write a long post about plotters and their value in today's market, but I have a $1100 order of cut vinyl to be done with today, with the total material usage/cost of 10 yards of 24" wide Oracal 751 and premask, and about 3 hours worth of weeding, premasking, packing and...
  12. WRAPS! Where do I start?

    Thank you, I stayed in school! :) And they are pretty great over here. Mind you, I have only been 5 days to a English-speaking country in my 34 years, when we went on a school trip to London with my graphic design class. I guess the accent is pretty strong, almost like these fellow Norwegians...
  13. WRAPS! Where do I start?

    I used to work at a graphics shop across country, near the capital. And the owner has some kind of sponsorship deal with a group N rally car team (national division of the WRC, run in same events). They came with their two brand new rally cars (Subaru WRX and Mitsubishi Evo 9), costing...
  14. WRAPS! Where do I start?

    Macdesign is probably not the best wording for that class, but it basically is a class with just computer design, primarily adobe creative suite, the 3 programs you usually use in design. Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign. You work with just these programs 35 hours a week for a year, just...
  15. WRAPS! Where do I start?

    If you already have the equipment you are off to a start already, you can pick up design tricks by watching tutorials online, and getting some good books on layout and design, like the ones mentioned over. Get in touch with some of the go kart drivers that have been asking you, get your design...
  16. WRAPS! Where do I start?

    I went to a school locally over here, called the Norwegian School of Creative Studies, specializing in arts and advertising, with courses/classes for: Film Photography Graphic design Illustration Interior design Journalism Macdesign (1-year) 3D and animation Music design Advertising and brand...
  17. WRAPS! Where do I start?

    I took a degree in graphic design, 2 years in school and $15,000 in tuition. That helped with "figuring out how to design" a good deal. Most good wrap shops have skilled graphic artists with creative minds that can do a design from ground up, not just cutting and pasting from various template...
  18. Vinyl for stickers

    I always see brand names on the back as a plus, and I have never had a customer react differently. Most don't care, but some react positively when I point out that I have used brand/series X or Y for this or that purpose. Funny thing is, I use Oracal for pretty much all cut graphics, but last...
  19. Upgrading from Flexistarter 8.6v2 to Flexistarter 10, worthwhile?

    Quick question, since the SAi homepage was not helpful at all (does not even mention Flexistarter as part of the Flexi family). I currently use Flexistarter 8.6v2 on my Roland GX-24 (I do all my design work/file setups in Illustrator, so Flexistarter does all I need it to do, setting up files...
  20. Starting on my own

    This is so true. I can relate to this situation, I did almost exactly the same last year. i have a degree in graphic design, and have worked about 5-6 years in signmaking. Got laid off because of "bad economy" in the company I worked in 2010, "strangely" enough just before the boss' son turned...
