  1. Prototype Squeegee Opinion Poll

    I agree trim down the excess, a dual squeegee/slitter would be nice... I usually keep squeege's in the back pocket, but it does occasionally end up in my mouth. The replaceable tip idea seems good, it could keep costs down if you would just replace the edge of the squeege- then you could...
  2. Work Bench Top

    Sentra, The self healing mats, or tempered Glass - with glass you have the option to light from underneath if thick enough, this makes weeding very easy as you can see where the cut lines are - but I heard its hell on eyes after a while, and you will go thru blades like crazy (not to mention...
  3. NCAA Vector

    Does anybody have a link, or site where I can get the NCAA "march madness" vector logo (it's for a local ESPN radio station)? Or can anybody point me in the direction of a high quality JPEG to vectorize from? The best I have found is from google images, and at this quality, is useless. I have...
  4. Photoshop print/cut flow?

    I think he meant, that you could take the time to learn some of the programs like flexi, Photoshop & illustrator, and when you feel ready to jump in to digital printing, the printing hardware may be cheaper at that time. As far as integrating Photoshop in to you print/cut flow – if you have a...
  5. Hello from the secret mesa

    Yeah it’s a niche – but the paintball market is expanding though, I would get in bed with a screen printer who can do shirts, or get a heat transfer for custom paintball team shirts (we had a paintball customer who always needed these) also don’t those paintball “arenas” – (they’re usually just...

  7. Substitute For VE Q100 Plotter?

    Q100 cutters any good? Sorry, I don’t want to be a thread pirate :thread But before I ended up with my mimaki combo- I was taking a serious look at the VE Q100 vinyl cutters. They seemed like solid cutters (a lot like the new Graphtec’s) looked real sharp, and had the optical eye- as an add...
  8. Graphtec FC 7000 -130 origin point

    Mimaki is the same, this is so you can swap the rollers to the front of the machine, and load media that way, I actually preffer this way better beause you can but the machine up against a wall and not need have to access to both sides (eg you can load media in the front of the machine) saves...
  9. Adding fonts to Signmate

    You can install fonts in windows by dragging font files into the "c:/windows/fonts" directory. Windows software should be able see them then (program may require restart). However, I have never seen windows with just one font (arial) it usually has quite a few fonts included and preinstalled on...
  10. Help with "panels" on cutter

    fitting graphics in tight panels Yeah I do the same - it can be time consuming but it saves material. If it's one long piece (or swoosh) I would just duplicate what you want to cut, flip it around and place it snug atop the other, then select everything to cut in production manager (flexi), but...

    wrap design issues Yeah the “A” was to be first in the phonebook, but also because we could get the domain name, and there was already a "sign stop" in the state we started in, but "a sign stop" was allowed. I know it's not the most original name, but at least it's not Terre Haute Signs or...
