Does anyone know if Flexi subscription runs on a Mac? If so, does it need Windows running on a Mac or will it run natively or on a browser? Does it support Gerber plotters (HS15+ and Envision 375) and Gerber printers (Edge LE and Edge II)? We accidentally turned on Windows updates and now...

Does anyone know where to buy roof brackets? We need to install a sign on a pitched roof and we have always had to make the brackets. Someone must sell an adjustable bracket to hold a roof sign without it being custom made.

Years ago a designer that worked for us designed a pretty simple website using Flash. The designer no longer works for us and is too busy to update this customer's site. The customer wants one page added to his website. Is anyone willing to do this or know where he can go to get it done...

I have a good friend who does some pretty wild (creative?) work for a prominent Boston architectural firm. Our most unusual projects have been for him. I have to give him a price to paint and apply lettering to the 14' diameter domes as shown in the attached illustration. My shop is in a...

I know there's not much to go on here, but I like the look of this font for hotel room numbers and hope someone knows what it is.

Does anyone know a source for high quality bronze or brass ADA compliant signs suitable for use in a high end hotel? Everything I've seen has been disappointing. I'm not looking for brass-looking, or pseudo bronze, but the real thing. We will need over 50 room numbers and another 30 or so...

We have a problem with Flood Coat White leaving diagonal streaks in the print. We use this to back second surface prints that go in windows and these streaks ruin our print. It's the final color to be run and we have, in this case, five spot colors run ahead of it that get ruined. When this...

Does Roland make a pen for the CJ540 (which is the same as the SJ540) so we can make pen plots to use for mounting patterns and the like? Our CJ stopped working as a printer years ago when the print heads failed. We've used it as a cutter only for around six years now and never thought to ask...

We're trying to install a 3' x 7' piece of 3M Frosted Crystal vinyl (with a group of names and some simple graphics knocked out) and keep having trouble with our application tape. When we try to remove the backer sheet in order to apply it to the glass, most elements stay on the backer not...

Sometimes the simplest fonts are the hardest to identify. Does anyone know this font?

RotaTrim Model T1850, 73" cutting length. Not new but almost never used. We bought this years ago to trim trade show graphics but stopped selling these graphics shortly after. It's been leaning in a corner ever since. The plastic clamp strip has yellowed ($71 from Alvin) but the trimmer is...

I have a customer looking for custom printed window shades that work much like window pert. He wants to see a photo image on the outside but because it's an office, he wants to see out from the inside. instead of using pert he wants to be able to raise the shade at times for full sunlight...

I did a search for this and found the most recent thread was from 2013 but only listed companies that no longer produce these. A Google search shows plenty of choices, as one would expect. I have two questions. First, and most importantly, what type of mat would you recommend for producing...

I recall a visual kerning tool in Omega (2.6) and can't for the life of me find it anymore. It allowed you to grab a handle and expand or contract the distance between characters so you could visually set the character spacing. Going through the text edit dialogue box is a poor solution...

Is it possible to use Gerber Omega to output to a Roland plotter? We presently have Omega 2.6 to output to an Edge LE and an Envision 375 plotter. We also have a wide format Roland printer/cutter (that we no longer print from) that we output to using Roland ColorRIP, a short lived program...

Does anyone know where to get stencils? We need to paint on a block of text (480 characters, 2" high, 105" x 75" area) on vinyl fabric. It will be used as wrap for material being shipped and contains government required information. Each block of text must appear on each side of the...

I mentioned on a thread a few weeks ago that I was downloading Illustrator and Photoshop CC. I have a Creative Could subscription but was unaware that a new version was available. I have a problem with Illustrator CC that is causing me to revert back to Illustrator CS6. I'm used to...

I know this has a negative slant or shear on it, but does anyone recognize this font? And when I went to type in a title for this thread, I typed "f" and "font help?" came up. Is that just my computer autofill or is that because I used the correct forum (Fonts and Typography) for the first time?

These fonts were sent to me by a client who told me they were "Calamity Jane". One of them is clearly a bolder version of "Calamity Jane" by Nick's Fonts, but I can't find a bolder version. It's possible the client added the stroke weight but I doubt it. Nick's Fonts does not have a heavier...

I have decided that trying to work with Adobe to subscribe to Creative Could is so frustrating it's bad for my health. My blood pressure can only take so much. They have proven that they are not to be trusted with hooks into my checking account. What alternatives do I have? When are they...
