Pay him well and be thankful you have somebody on board that knows what they're doing. Dan

Looks like to me that your head isn't making a good seal with the capping station - probably why you need to run a regular nozzle wash. The head's drying out. Dan

Good point! Dan

I too find the search on this forum real hit and miss. Dan

I've hand carved lots of Western Red Cedar signs. Your chisels, gouges, and sweeps have to be razor sharp and you have to be cognizant of the grain direction while carving. Western Red Cedar lasts a LONG time. I guess that's why the West Coast Natives used it to carve totem poles. Avoid any...

Short answer - Nope nope. Dan

Does anyone know what font this is? Dan

We just use Gerber Omega as a bridge program to facilitate the vinyl cutting as otherwise we can't cut directly from CorelDraw to the Mimaki CG-130 FX plotter. As for the registration marks - the only time I use them is for lining up a multi-colour vinyl installation but most of the time I just...

I use CorelDraw for all the design and layout and Gerber Omega just to send data to the plotter. There's an add-on for CorelDraw called SignTools that has some cool features and could make production more efficient but I find I can do things pretty quick with CorelDraw without having to use any...

I use a narrow knife blade (no teeth) in my jig saw. If you slow it down to a crawl it cuts pretty fast without melting things or leaving shavings and whatnot lying around. Dan
