  1. Excellent for Working with Microsoft Products

    Yeah, it's opensource and free!
  2. Servers for Dummies

    Just saw that there is a Windows Home Server program....has pretty good reviews. Based on what it does, looks like this would be a good fit. On a side note, looks like there is a lot of folks running Linux for servers for a whole host of reasons, security and speed being the top reasons it...
  3. Color Usage

    That is by design. The media profile dictates how much of each color to use when printing a specific color. Just seems like most designs have a lot of magenta and yellow components in them, so it uses more of those colors. Even though you print a lot of black, if you print only black (K) ink...
  4. Help with Laminator Ding-Tec BU-1600C IIZ 60”

    I have too when I first got it. Seems like if you web it up, it'll work good for maybe 8 or 10 feet, but will then start heading south again, forcing you to re-web it. Rather than keep doing this, we just cut the laminate to size. It's a hassle either way, but a little less with this method...
  5. Help with Laminator Ding-Tec BU-1600C IIZ 60”

    We've been having some issues with ours for a few months now. The only way we've been able to fully rectify the situation (w/o lots of wasted effort and mat'l) is to precut the laminate to the right size, and act like we're mounting the laminate to the print...same as if mounting a laminated...
  6. plumeria flower vectors

    I did a job a while back using a Plumeria...what I did was to take a photo of one (think it was a simple Google search) then performed a high detail auto-trace with Corel X3...thus producing a vector-image. Worked well, ended up using this in their logo and all related signage. It sill looks...
  7. printable magnetic material

    I've never had good results printing direct to magnetic materal, so I don't even try any more. I simply print, laminate then mount to the mag mat'l. Yes, more time but better results and none of the problems that you are seeing plus no extra stress on the feed motor!
  8. ColorSpan or Gerber Solara?

    What are the Solara's going for NOW then? Anybody know?
  9. Do you keep your cutter running all day?

    I almost always turn off the cutter. More important, though, is making sure you raise the pinch wheels when not in use. Otherwise, you'll flatten them some and hinder tracking.
  10. Microsoft Access... anyone using it?

    Correct, I have purchased the rights to distribute a run-time version of Access, negating the need for a user of my software to need Access. Further, I strip out the ability for the user to get into the guts of it...kind of like compiled code. Really depends on the level of complexity you...
  11. Microsoft Access... anyone using it?

    FYI, my GraphixCALC Pro is essentially an Access database with some 3rd party additions.
  12. Font Manager Program? What do you guys use?

    Have used both Extensis and Bitstream (Corel). I like Extensis better, but Bitstream is free (with Corel) and not bad at all.
  13. SP-300V on Oracal 651????

    Why? It's more $$$ than printing on the right stuff...3651 or 3165.
  14. Ever thrown anyone out of your shop?

    Love it, just love it!!!
  15. Coke Machine Restore

    You would know, wouldn't ya! BTW, I love old Coke stuff!
  16. Where to start?

    We're not trying to discourage you, but trying to show you the reality of it all. This industry is plagued with some many that get into it as a hobby, create junk, charge far too little and end up just wrecking it for the remaining businesses that are trying to do it all right. However, I've...
  17. EEEK Help Roland is leaving white space?

    Your encoder strip may be dirty. I periodically have this issue, though not a huge blank stripe, usually just a thin line of off-color. The encoder strip is the nearly clear piece of plastic, about 1/2 inch wide, that is directly behind the guide cable. Clean it the entire length, both sides...
  18. Trying to figure out what cutter to get.

    Have at it...clearly, my point completely missed the mark.
  19. Trying to figure out what cutter to get.

    ebay is all about selling for the lowest price possible...is that what you want to offer....the lowest price possible? Gain some experience in the industry and you'll understand that it's SO much more about quality, service and creativity than price...this is NOT a commodity industry (at...

    'cuz you'll get sucked into the lowest of low [price] and it will be hard for you to get out from under that.
