  3. Good Source for Fire Dept Crest Vectors?

    I've got a fire department who wants to order a bunch of stuff for an upcoming fireman's picnic and they want their logo -- but of course all they have for art is a crappy jpeg picture of one of their patches. And of course nobody has the original design that made the patch. Any good sources...
  4. Switched to Mac

    Mac based shop here also. Everything in the Mac eco system just works. We have 2 iMacs, 2 Mac Mini's and a couple of laptops. One of the iMacs is also running OSX server and serves our files to the other computers. Then add in an Airport Extreme base station for Wi-Fi and ethernet networks --...
  5. Putting Graphtech Cutters on Network

    I have a Graphtec FC7000 and just purchased a new CE6000 48" cutter. Is there a way of putting these on my network instead of keeping them hooked to the computer by USB? My issue is that we cut most everything we do by cutting master software directly from our Macs which works great, but...
  6. GX- 24 Screen Went Blank

    I have a GX-24 that must be 6 or 7 years old. Got a call today from one of our workers at the shop that the screen on the cutter went blank. When they turn it on the head does move like it does when it initializes. Anyone know where I should look when I get back to the office or what parts I may...

  9. Totally lost with a new GX-24. 14 years in the business

    When you load your vinyl the LCD panel will show how wide the material is in millimeters. I cut from Illustrator so I will set the art board in Illustrator to this width and then make sure that your art is to the bottom of the art board. When you cut with the plugin it should do it correctly. We...
  10. win 10 wil be FreE?????

    They figured that since Obama's giving away free community college they might as well give away their free crappy OS. By the way the last two Mac updates have been free -- Windows is just copying AGAIN...
  11. 16 oz Scrim Vinyl

    I was using the same material on my new HP Latex printer. I talked with my rep at LexJet where I have been buying it. She said its true, being discontinued. She is going to look into a substitute also --I'll let you know what she comes up with. We were previously printing Ultraflex --...
  12. Onyx Smart Apps Sign and Banner Plugin in Illustrator CC 2014 ??

    That sucks, didn't know it was discontinued. I will agree with the statement that it is pricey -- almost didn't purchase it because of that. HEY ONYX, You would sell more of these if it wasn't so expensive -- if it was cheaper I bet more people would've purchased it because it is a handy tool...

    We just put one of these bad boys in our house. http://www.harmanstoves.com/Products/PF120-Pellet-Furnace.aspx We heat our whole house with it (almost 3500 sq feet, including our basement). We had moved in a little over a year ago. Last year before putting in the unit our basement and side...

    I got pretty lucky -- she's not into fancy jewelry....she's an artist so always looking to get her cool art stuff. Last year I got her a subscription to something called Life Book where she gets to do some pretty cool mixed media art classes online. A new lesson from different teachers every...

    Got my Big Squeegee last night -- first time ever using one -- to mount 4'x8" prints on styrene. Glided those on just like butter. I can truly say it is the best thing I have bought in a long time. My wife's reaction was priceless. UPS guy brought the box up to the shop and as I was unwrapping...

  18. Just Ordered My Big Squeegee

    Decided to take on a church project to print (7) 4' x 8' panels for a Christmas play coming up on Saturday. Printed on vinyl -- going to mount on foam board. We don't usually mount to larger panels for the work we typically do. Tried to mount my first print -- what a disaster. Went online and...
