"Reverse Print Second Surface will be warranted for 5 years. It will last." Warranted by who? CET or another printer? And I haven't been able to source a laminate willing to go much past 3 years; can you tell me which laminate Dave recommends? Thanks!! -g-

Well, we screen print, vinyl cut, and thermal transfer (Summa).... just looking for some bigger options. -g-

Hi all -- this seems like the best forum to post my questions, as we are in the initial stages of evaluating a flatbed for our business, although it's relevant for any method of sign printing. Many of the available flatbed printers offer 2 year outdoor inks (unlaminated). Can anyone point me to...

The original image, unless specifically put into Creative Commons where derivative works are allowed, is covered under copyright. That being the case, unless you get permission (in writing) from the photographer, you would be intruding on someone's "right to copy." Realistically, you are...

Oh, here are couple more Illustrator dislikes: • There is no single button or key command to center horiz. and vertical • When using the Text tool -- I often have text in close proximity to objects on the layout -- when I hover over the text I want to edit, the SmartGuides highlight the text --...

Flexi: Doesn't rasterize worth d*ck do you mean vectorize? I always found their raster to vector to be pretty good... Illustrator: It seems like it never saves my color swatches. You probably need to edit the preference documents (always a pia to find) I wish it had more vector tools...

The problem with that method is that of the function needed -- try this example: - select a word or phrase in a paragraph with the text tool (let's say it is Times, Bold, 14 pt) - choose the eyedropper from the tool bar, and then click on some other, differently styled text (let's say it is...

Ah, Illustrator, how I lovthe thee. Here's my list: • No way to assign tools (eyedropper, text tool) to function or command keys ($10 to the person who can point me to a workable solution)* • Text on a path -- OMG! check out 4:40 on this video. And then watch the entire video. • Many settings...

Here's a free script to round specific corners on an object. Round Any Corner -g-

Thanks! That's the input I need!! -g-

Hi all -- has anyone had experience printing on non-summa cling material? I would like to just order a 30" roll of something that works, and not have to purchase a 54 roll cut to 24 and 30.... I see that Fellers has a couple products, but wanted some first hand accounts. Thanks! -g-

Hi all, I am curious to see what used modifications are out there, and the possibilities that exist, both on a hardware and software front. Personally, I would love to make a support arm to hold the DC4sx's hood open, but haven't gotten to it yet. Also, does anyone have an old text file...

Call the dog Taxi. "Here, Taxi!" "Yo, Taxi!" "Taaaxxxxxxxiiiiiii!" -g-

Von Glitschka is the Man I can't say enough great things about this illustrator -- I found his site (http://www.illustrationclass.com/) years ago through drawn.ca (also a great site for daydreaming). His new book, Vector Basic Training, is a great resource -- it was delivered yesterday and will...

Here's the difference: if it is your photo (meaning that YOU took the photo) then you can create whatever derivative works you like (tracing it in Illustrator, tracing it on a light table). If someone else took the photo (for example: a photo studio took the picture of your dog) then you do not...

Hi all -- been using the DC4sx for about a year and really love it, with only minor annoyances here and there. One of the things that bugs me is the lack of a built in media cutter, something that would allow me to trim the print at the machine rather than looking for the couppy or finding a...

Hola from Nawlins! When are you going to be here, and for how long? There's a bunch of great restaurants (naturally), and many are outside of the Quarter (most are touristy with okay food and inflated prices). You would probably get a kick out of Parkway Bakery & Tavern, an amazing place for...

We've been using Flexi on Mac for over 15 years, and recently purchased FlexiStarter for the Mac -- all design is done in Illustrator/PS; FS is used only for driving the vinyl cutter. I wish they would release a stand-alone raster to vector program -- it's the only thing I miss from the program...

Great story about a font/graphic designer inspired by old signage. Enjoy! http://aigalosangeles.org/features/2010/09/art-imitating-life-imitating-a.php

We've had our DC4sx for nearly a year, and print with it all day, every day. Number one plus: no nozzles to clog. It has great color reproduction, with a decent amount of spot colors to choose from. 95% of our output is spot color; either short run labels or reverse printed poly signs. Summa...
