I suppose I should've looked farther down the row to see this-I had just asked a question about x3 vs x4-so, now I'll come down here and join the fun. I teach at the local community college and am also a graduate student and was thinking about getting the student version. You are restricted...

Question about XP: If I have to buy a new computer that has Vista, can I use my restore CDs from my XP computer to load XP on the new one, or would I need the XP originals as in David's case? sorry, computers are not my area....Carol

Thanks for the helpful responses. I am running Windows XP and don't want to "upgrade" to Vista....so, as long as X4 will run on both, I'll take the leap and purchase it. Carol

I'm considering upgrading to Corel x3 from an ancient version of Corel and now I see that they are offering X4....so, has anyone tried it? what's the difference? I already know how to use Corel and have Photoshop Elements which I DON'T know how to use, so I thought I'd avoid the "which is...

I just paid my dentist $350 to fix my broken tooth-I've got some wood working tools and some epoxy---think I'll open my own business and start raking in the big bucks. How hard can it be? I'm good with my hands.....I can practice on my friends til I feel comfortable with the technique. Any...

What ebay chinese cutter did you get? (please not a cricut or robo!?) Welcome and good luck: I actually got a CraftRobo Pro, which is the unfortunate name of the Graphtec CE5000 15" plotter. I bid on one on Ebay that was being sold by a scrap booker who was overwhelmed by the complexity of it...

Woohoo: finally figured out how to do a quote! thanks Nancy: I used to work at a friend's shop and he let me do some side jobs-I have them all as old PLT files on diskettes (speaking of OLLLLD software or hardware.) I will have to go back to his shop to change the file format, I suppose. I'll...

Speaking of upgrades, how many PC folks have gone to Vista? I've heard bad things about it and have been happy with XP. We have latest Flexi, ..I'd like to get a newer laptop, but don't want Vista, unless it's debugged. BTW: it's annoying that Flexi won't open Gerber Plot files if they're "too...

Thanks, Fred: I've replaced the belt, re positioned, cleaned, fiddled and messed with it to no avail.....It is fixable, I just don't have the energy or the inclination. I've gone over to the dark side and purchased Flexi and a small Graphtec plotter. (love the speed and the fact that I don't...

Hi David: I've got Palatino, Friz reg and demi, Times Bold, Times New Roman, Kauffman Connected, Eurostyle bold & bold extended, goudy bold, Goudy heavyface condensed, Comm. Script connected, Avant Garde, University Roman, Clarendon Bold, Dom Casual & General Symbols extended....also font...

I'm trying to figure out to do with our faithful old dinosaur....We have a IV B-still works, though It's having mechanical difficulties...would be good for parts. Also have font cards. We upgraded (finally) to Flexi. would have stuck with Gerbie, as we do mostly hand work and just run type, but...

the smallest 7000 is 30"-too big to throw in the car and take to a marina for on site lettering, so we went with the 5000 (15"). It seems like a good machine-If we were going to run it 8-10 hours a day, would have gotten the larger more robust one. I guess it mostly depends on what you'll use if...

Thanks for the info. I'll be ordering stuff before the end of the year to get on the books before Jan 1-blades & a new scanner (grumble.... I had a really good one but it's old and incompatible w/ our system), Love this small Graphtec plotter, but I miss sprocket feed accuracy. Have to load...

Just to keep things in perspective as far as cost is concerned: When we bought our Graphix 4B back in 1988 (used), it set us back $11,500-the down payment on a house! We thought we got a good deal, as it came with a font extender,15 fonts and the outline module. We were in heaven-I don't know if...

I have an old 4B-don't know if any of the parts are transferrable. Now that I've upgraded, anyone want some font cards and an ancient Graphix 4B-cannibalize at will. it's worked well for 20 years and is very tired. Carol

Thanks folks: we use 60degree blade for sign blast tape-haven't tried cutting that yet on this cutter. tried the new settings and worked like a charm w/the 45. I just have to keep a list of settings so I know what to do. I just got this plotter a few weeks ago and haven't bought the extra...

nice dog! (and thanks for the suggestion) my visioneer was great-Carol

Hi all: another question about my CE5000....I have a lot of 3M reflective vinyl to cut-I keep setting the pressure higher on the blade-is it pressure or is it blade depth that I should be fooling with? I'm getting a cut, just really difficult to weed-and don't want to cut too deep into the...

Hello all: I had a perfectly good scanner that will not work on my Win XP computer (finally upgraded after our old Win 98 died) Can't get drivers for it, so am looking for a replacement. Is there anything that you can recommend for scanning into Flexi? I'm new to Flexi, just learning how to use...

WAHOO! I figgered it out all by my own self! (with thanks to all, again!) I removed the software and reloaded it and chose a different interface for the plotter-not Craft Robo, but Graphtec 5000-made a huge difference! Everything works now so I can happily stay up all night getting the stuff I...
