Yes, prep is of utmost importance. I scuff and prep well. My main question is about the curing time. Most paints will scratch easily before cured. Curing time is different for water base paints. I've had water base paints come off when water is allowed to puddle on them after 2 days. After a few...

That's a 4A. Has the sliding weight. I still use mine.

I have been using Aquacote for a couple of years now on wood signs, metal, plastic, etc., but am having a little trouble lately using it on glass. It seems to scratch off easily but maybe after curing a couple of weeks it will be OK. I have not been able to give it that test yet. The same on...

Any other input?

I outsource my digital printing except what I can do on my Gerber Edge. I have an upcoming job I am considering having printed directly onto Dibond instead of on vinyl. Two 4x8 panels. I'm not sure what printer my supplier uses but they tell me it UV cures the ink. My concern is that from what...

Thank you! I will check into these tomorrow

Hi Folks. Been a while. There once was a company that made plaques that simulated cast bronze at maybe half the cost. They look very much like the real thing except if you tap on them you can tell they are plastic. I'm looking for something about 1/4" thick x 10 x 20". My customer doesn't want...

Thanks for all the answers. One more thing, if anyone knows: Will my Illustrator and Photoshop CS3 work on windows 7? I guess it will be XP actually. I know I'm outdated but it seems to get the work done so far.

It doesn't have to be a Dell, but I've been happy with the last 3 and don't feel like spending time to check out others unless Dell can't provide what I need. I may end up getting newer printer and cutter if this proves to be too much hassle. I don't want to buy a computer I think will work and...

Moving along here.... I just talked to Dell. They can build an Optiplex computer for me with Window 7 that will run in XP mode. Will that allow my Gerber 4B to work? And they can build one with either a serial or parallel port, whichever I chose. The other I would have to add on. Am I on the...

Thanks for all the info. I'll probably see if I can still get the Optiplex with the ports like I did 5 years ago. If not, maybe I'll have one built. You folks are helpful. I'm clueless.

Hi, I posted this on 4Edge talk and it was suggested I post here also. I have a five year old Dell Optiplex 330 desktop computer running my Edge 1 and a Gerber 4B vinyl cutter. The computer has been having blue screen crashing problems lately and I'm tired of getting it fixed, so its time for...

I remember back in an earlier version of Illustrator, probably 8, I was able to draw a line, curved or straight that had cross lines just like a railroad is shown on a map. Does anyone know how to do this in CS3? Thanks

Welcome!

I think I may have met Bob years ago at one of Ed Roth's Rat Fink parties. I'll look him up sometime.

Hi, my name is Chuck Peterson. I am now semi-retired (until I think of a better term for it, I'm only 53) after 22 years making signs on my own. I started out working in the paint dept at Cal Neon in San Diego back in the 70's paintin Jack in the Box clown heads and stuff. Then I wandered lost...
