  1. Client wants to Puchase a (re)design

    If they wanted them on a DVD or CD that I provided I would charge them an additional $10 for making and providing the CD or DVD and Jewel case, they don't grow on trees. Though I must admit it has been more than a couple years since someone has wanted the files in this manner.
  2. Gerber Edge Fx and Omega 5.0 help

    As someone who has painfully become fluent in Illustrator, Flexi and Omega Composer, I found Composer to be the most counter intuitive and difficult to learn. It is the only of the 3 that I would say requires having the manual handy. It would probably be to your advantage to get a jump start by...
  3. HELP PLEASE!!!

    It takes practice but ultimately the pen tool becomes your best friend, even in photoshop for making selections.
  4. PVC Sign longer than 10'

    I at one point had an installation that was similar to this. It took 3 pieces of 3mm PVC. I ran the edges that were getting butted together trough a jointer put 2 inch strips of PVC with banner tape fully covering the strip and used it as a backer for the joint. I also had to run similar...
  5. printed metal machine signs

    You may be looking for Porcelain Enamel signs, what some used to call "life signs" as they last virtually forever in the right conditions. PM me if you cant find someone who does them, I know a guy but he is surly and attempting to retire.
  6. separate contour cut question

    Flexi can and will change contour cut to match the stroke when all effects are appearing on the same object. To avoid this use the paste over command for the piece you want cut and then it wont become confused with the overprint as it will be a separate object. I don't know why they have never...
  7. looking for a new cutter either a summa or a graphtech

    Graphtech plotters are really unmatched at their price point. The FC7000 series were not the best machine they ever made in that I have had my hands on 3 of them and none of them would track as strait as the older 5000/5100 series. That being said I still have a running FC7000-130, it is about...
  8. Mutoh Printer keeps turning itself off - please help!

    Post a video of powering it up and then do a nozzle check so as it shuts down. Put it on youtube and put a link up. It sounds to me like you need to get a tech out there, the control unit or the firmware is most likely the culprit. I still have a running 1604 as well as a 1624 and I have seen...
  9. Finishing Tables

    Rhino Industrial Work Tables | Huge Work Benches, Self Healing Cut Mat To be honest though I just make my own out of MDO from signs that have been taken down and 4x4 posts, also from used signs. Then put I them on nice casters, and just buy the self healing cutting mats from the local sign supply.
  10. Vector over Image File - Vector won't show...!?!

    Indeed, if the image and the vector art are assigned the same vinyl this will occur.
  11. Cordless hammer drill recommendations?

    If you can afford a Hilti there is no comparison for perfomance.
  12. how to put a nice radius on alumalite?

    Use the Inside of a roll of masking tape to draw your radius and then hit it with a belt sander.
  13. Arlon 4500

    I have been using the 4560gtx-3420 combo for years. As a low cost option it is decent. I haven't found anything better yet, however, I am always looking for something better as it doesn't stick as well as you would want it to (even for an intermediate). The only real advantage of the arlon is...
