gabagoo: First of all you didn't say what type of printer you have. The answer to your question could be different for different types or models of printers.:Oops: Second: Isn't your question one that SHOULD be directed to the people who sold you your printer? Isn't that what tech...

Bump: HELP, Please!

I have a customer that gave me this photo of a mid 70s' Ford. He wants me to replicate the lettering on both sides of the car. I don't have a clue what font this is, but I must match it. This vehicle is one of less than 200 created for the California market, and I need the exact font if...

Since you need to make the move, go for the newest version. That way you may not need to upgrade again for a couple of years. Some of the features in CS2, and CS3, are light years ahead of older versions. DON'T by anything but an authorized version that you can legally register. Regards, Bob C.

Fab.: I have a Studio 8 Ioline plotter, and I just use the clear fiber packing tape that you would use for packaging. I am not familiar with the "channel" under your knife, but if it is like mine, all you need to do is cut a piece of the packaging tape long enough to cover the width of your...

keelklan: First you need to let us know what version of Ill. you are using? Second: how large is your plotter? How wide of a piece of vinyl can you place in the plotter? You can set up you practice sign in Illustrator, as let us say an 18" tall by 24" wide sign. When prompted by...

Jake: Welcome to the Signs 101 Forum. I am one of the "crochety old farts" that stops by here occationaly to stir the SH_T. To answer your question completely would take the better part of a day. BUT! create a simple sign: Lets take the word "SIGN". Pick a nice clean letter...

Techman: I stand corrected for my short sightedness in "going off" on RiXax earlier. The comments where made more about the original post { which I may have taken in the wrong context} than as a personal attack upon Mr. RiXaX. I looked at the total # of posts he has made on this board, and A S...

(I'm looking for a site where I might find an extensive list of alternate names for fonts. There are numerous fonts from major suppliers with hefty price tags, and they have free look alikes that will get me past a one time use. The first step is always finding the alias name.) Let's see here...

Gee! And all this with a $4295.00 Program, and STILL NOT ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH? Ain't Flexi a real bargain?? :Oops: NOT!

GeBo: I am new to using SignCutX2 but from what I have learned since putting it to work on my Mac along with my Ioline plotter, I have saved a TON of money on vinyl because {SignCutX2} lets you use some neat tools to "nest" parts of your artwork. This allows you to also cut your artwork by...

Illustrator CS2 or CS3 will runn on any Mac, and with the addition of a cutter program { I use SignCut X2} you can do almost anything FlexiSign will do at less than 1/10th the cost. P.S. do some research on this forum about the NEGATIVE feedback from current and former Flexi users. It was a...

Illustrator / Flexi discussion DirtyDogg: I have been a loyal user of Illustrator® since 1988. I have made some of the upgrades, leap frogging over some, {currently using CS2 suite}. I also have FlexiSign® Pro7 something, CorelDraw, CorelPaint. My current setup is CS2 Suite {all the...

Avante Garde medium. set slant at 12.5' and then do 5 minutes worth of work on the bar widths. and you have this font. I made a small vertical rectangle to create the wide side of the round letters, then welded that to the round letter. Viola! a finished lettering that would fool the best...

I have the serial to USB adapter. What next?

My question is how do you assign a "port"? I don't know how to select a given "port". I have several USB ports on the front of the PC, but I don't know how to designate them as the "port"? Does that make any sence to you? Thanks, Bob C.

OK Folks; Here's the deal. I have been plotting with an Ioline Studio 8 plotter for years. I have been running it from an older driver program called "SignPost'. I am running the plotter on my G4 Mac. There is something SERIOUSLY WRONG with the Mac drivers for the plotter so I am looking to...
