I like the fact that you went to the customer to see "what's up". I think many times we lose a job or a customer and don't find out what the problem is. Here it was trying to get an expensive job at a cheap price and money was the determining factor. I think I am going to be more proactive...

Also in View / Toolbars (I think it's Control +T) you can check and uncheck whichever toolbars you like. You can click the toolbars you want and dock them wherever you like, at the top of the screen, on the side or click and drag and have them floating on the screen. Hope this helps.

Thanks for all the help. Is there a way to do it in Google Docs?

I don't have Adobe Acrobat which I understand is designed to send multiple pdfs in a single file. Is there another program that can do this? I would rather not have to keep sending customers or others multiple pdfs that have to be opened individually. Or is there a trick when I'm scanning...

I'm not talking about LXI. Most sign people know that's a lower version of Flexi. I have some friends that use it and love it. I'm talking about software for a few hundred dollars that almost strangles your computer just to register (which VMPro does). Just provide a dongle like the top...

I bought the program years ago, I think I paid $299 for it. For me it was worth it for the fonts that could be installed, I have used dozens of them over the years. I can load these without the program being installed. I am always leery of software makers who never advertise in trade...

Uh, yeah. Just went and picked up my new Oracal cell phone, wiseguy.

Didn't even know LG made vinyl. Thought they made tvs and phones. Find a vendor that does one thing and does it well and stick with them. I feel for you though, I know it's a bummer.

This is not a job to learn on, especially if you don't know what kind of paint to use. I know you're trying to save the customer money, but you could mess up big time and still have to give the customer new faces afterwards. If customer is stubborn I would walk away. There are vendors who...

Welcome aboard. Hope you know more about the sign business than the signarama guy I know. Went to school for two weeks and went at it. Had no idea what a piece of coroplast was, the training manager from Florida showed him how a plotter cuts vinyl, first time he had ever seen it, asked...

I have Casmate 6.52 on a CD and a parallel port dongle. I just did a trial install on my XP loaded computer, loaded fine after I typed in number that was on the dongle. I'm assuming you have an operating system to run it. $500.00 it's yours (plus shipping.)

Hate the band, I remember about a year ago I stumbled on a website that had two of their singles overlayered with each other. Was virtually the same song rehashed. I don't care for the raunchy lyrics, but that's just me. I feel for bands that are stuck playing at a Holiday Inn on...

Whenever Flexi starts acting funky, go to "Clear Preferences". I have to to this about every 4 or 5 months. Works great one day, next day it won't communicate with the plotter. You'll have to adjust your preferences like toolbars, autosave, etc. but it fixes whatever is wrong without doing...

I use a Visioneer One Touch USB. Works great with Flexisign. You can scan as a color or black and white pdf, also many settings for resolution. I paid about $80 bucks for it at Office Max about 3 years ago, I'm sure the technology is better now and prices have dropped. My wife has a...

Lordy mercy, kill me with a post that takes longer to type than to Google it. To be honest I've never posted a pic, it's on my list of things to learn.

Don't have time to post a pic but Google "Hamad from space" in Google images. Rich oil sheik had enough slave labor from Pakistan to dig a dadgum canal with his name that can be seen from outer space. Old Paint will probably say he could do this back in the 60s with a yardstick, some string...

I agree a full log of 24" vinyl is a little aggravating, but start your tape square to the edge of the carrier paper and vinyl and you'll be fine. The more tape you use the easier rolling out the tape will be since it's going to get lighter and lighter. ( My wife does it that way, she's not a...

Been using a core for 20 years. I take my hand and kind of smooth the tape to the vinyl every foot or two and then squeegee. Any wrinkles you have are in the tape, not the vinyl. As long as the vinyl is adhering to the slick carrier paper you're all right.

Scan and vectorize, in Flexi this would take about 60 seconds. If that doesn't work, tracing paper and Sharpie, then scan and vectorize. Would take about 120 seconds.

Getcha one of those home base screen printing machines that I see infomercials about when I'm flipping channels at 5 in the morning. Kind of like a glorified Cricut. You can do it on the kitchen table, or in the bedroom. Funny how they don't show how you have to clean up the mess.
