Yes I have the original 100mb zip drive - Parallel connection that never wanted to connect correctly. That was back with Win95 early Win98. I think it was around $250 too if memory serves me correctly.

Have you tried a different diskette? Those get corrupted very easily and very often.

Thank you much!

On FlexiSign Pro 7.5 inside the cut/plot screen under advanced there is a optimize cutting order. When checked it is suppose to efficiently cut in order. My question is - The factory setting is 10. If I raise it to say 20 will it increase the efficiency or decrease the efficiency?

I still use Kai's Power Tools (KPT3)as well, along with Alien Skin Xenofex 2 and eyecandy 4000. However you can also do a search on google for layer styles.

EC 4000 works within Flexi 7.5 and so does AlienSkin. They show up under Bitmap/Adobe Filters.

Do not forget to "weld" the script fonts otherwise they will cut into each other. I use Flexi so go to effects/combine/weld. Scripts are real nice and always add that elegant look to signage.

I use Zonealarm for a firewall (free version available) I use avast! for virus scanning (free version available) I use spybot search and destroy for spyware (free) in conjunction with adaware (free version available) I also run behind a wireless router one computer hardwired other two...

There is no right/wrong answer to this question. It will boil down to personal preference. You will spend a LOT more for the T series vs. the D/SE class. T class has a dedicated motor to actually turn the blade called Tangential cutting. Most plotters such as the Graphtecs/Panthers use Software...

There are tons of companies for which do the same: Advantage Sign Supply Grimco Gregory SSK Sign Supply JSI I am really glad things work out for you with SW, however myself and MANY others are tired of "working" things out with SW. Ameriban matches their pricing and that is who I deal...

SW is far from "large" company. They are a small company in Denison, TX been there as well as there old store in Sherman. I bad mouth the company due to their horrible customer service. My personal experiences with them are both good and bad, unfortunitly the bad out ways the good. Always...

I use a Panther 24" and love it. The new Panther also comes with the auto registration sensor. What you need to think about is A) Will you need tech support? B) Do you want to be tied to one supplier. SW is the only place to get a Panther, Tech support is only through SW hence being tied to...

hambone - Do a simple search with say google for summa sign pro sl t750 and the first link will be a closeout on this 30" plotter only. This plotter utilizes true tangential cutting not simulated like most others. Also do a search for Summa DC3 and all your answer shall be received.

Reads to me like you have already made up your mind Thumper. You conscience is telling you to go with the CE3000 however if I were to buy a Graphtec it would FC series only. Budget wise I understand your decision, in any event whether you choose to go with a Roland, Graphtec, Summa, or even a...

I only know of Roland who comes with software/drivers to cut direct from Illustrator/Corel Why not look into the Roland GX-24 desktop cutter? Huge improvement over the hobbiest Stika. I too owned a Stika and outgrew it in one month. Luckily for me I was able to sell it on ebay and to another...

Fred are you using a toolbar for this such as dictionary.com toolbar? I use Firefox myself however if I right click on a highlighted word I do not have an option to check spelling. Wondering how to set mine up for this. Thanks

2 . BTW, do a search on this site for this topic. Rather then retype what is already there

Charge for your supplies, vinyl, application tape and/or app fluids. Then charge for your normal shop time say $55/hr. You will have to figure out how much time you think you will need to apply say three hours so add in $165 ontop of your materials.

OK here is the Truth on the DesignTech-60. Yes indeed it is made by Graphtec, with some differences. One being it has been slowed down, two being knocked down from 8 settings to 4 settings and the third being less downforce.

To cut thermoflex you will need a machine with capable downforce to cut such. Make sure this machine has the correct amount of downforce. Example would be lets say you need 225 of downforce to cut x material. Do not get a machine that has a max amount of downforce of 225 or 250. Also the stika's...
