  2. Need some opinions...New computer time!

    Yes, I think that win 7 is the way to go. What about a graphics card? Any ideas?
  3. Need some opinions...New computer time!

    I know that this will generate a lot of different opinions, but lets hear them anyways. My old XP is faltering. I don't know what I really need as far as power, memory, ram and graphics card. I am running Flexi 10 with a Roland SP300. I do some graphic fills occasionally. I also run Photo...
  4. 3M pricing policy strikes again

    the only thing that I have done in the past was to bill the Vol. Fire Dept. and then wright a donation check for the same amount.
  5. 3M pricing policy strikes again

    Don't get me wrong Gino, I certainly don't advertise that I am donating to a cause or charity but somehow it seems to get around anyways. People don't actually ask for a donation sometimes but when they say that they want something like you did for XYZ (witch was a donation) you kinda know what...
  6. 3M pricing policy strikes again

    Thats true Gino, well said. I guess I was venting a little. Its always a little difficult to tell your customers prices are going up again for whatever reason but first and foremost we have to make our profit to stay in business. I think the hardest pricing ( for me anyways) is the non profit...
  7. 3M pricing policy strikes again

    Its easy to say "Just raise your prices" but i feel that I have an obligation to my customers to try to keep my prices reasonable.Working in a small community I know that a lot of these small companies are struggling too and some of these customers are actually my friends. I don't think that...

  13. SP-300 Question

    I just upgraded to 10.5 and that works on win 7 and xp. I would think that 7.5 would work on both...?
  14. What the heck are these things in my color pallet? In Flexi 10.5

    I have 7 grey boxes in the color pallet that say, contour cut 1-3 , Perf cut, ect. Does anyone know what these do? I know that some of the effects are for thermal transfer and don't apply to me. I am more interested in the contour cuts Is this a quick way to pick a contour cut? I recently...
  15. Cut issue

    I had a layout that I couldn't make a contour cut. I finally tried making a mask. Then I outlined the mask and did a contour cut on the outline. Hope this helps.
  16. What the #×%+@ did they do to Sign Gold?

    This is the firs time that I have seen a paper liner. I had my weight so heavy that it cut through the liner in some spots and it was a pain in the azz to weed! This roll was a roll of 15". (With the paper liner) I normally get 24". The roll before this was 24" and was on the plastic but just...
  17. What the #×%+@ did they do to Sign Gold?

    Hmmm, Didn't know that either! The last roll I got of 15" had Scotchcal 220 carrier paper....is it a 3M product now?
  18. What the #×%+@ did they do to Sign Gold?

    THANKS for telling me that. I didn't know that there was two different companies selling it. I will look into Real Gold. That is what I remember using and Fellers must have changed brands without telling their customers. I thought that the company had changed hands.
  19. What the #×%+@ did they do to Sign Gold?

    I just tried using the "new" sign gold now called "Quick Gold". Holly crap!! I had to bump the downforce up to 105gr. just to cut through it with a brand new blade! ( the old signgold I would run about 70gr ) This stuff is much thicker than it used to be. And at 105 gr I STILL couldn't weed...
  20. Sealing lusterboard how do u do it?

    I have a customer that has all oval signs on their property. I have been sealing my aluminum covered plywood (Lusterboard) with epoxy. I have also used silicone but I'm not convinced that silicone will last the life of the sign. Any other suggestions for sealing the edges of round signs...
