  1. Need Help Graphtec FC8600 60" with Flexi 12

    I just jut purchased a used FC 8600 to replace our aging FC7000. I thought it would be pretty simple to get things working since I'd been using the 7000 for many years. However, I can't get it to contour cut around printed graphics. I have the ARMS settings for TYPE 2 which is the same as I had...
  2. Removing back windows on van before installing window perf

    Is it "easy" to remove the rear van windows for perf installation. They have 4 caps on each window. Not sure if any tools are needed. Or is it easier to exacto cut around the caps and not remove, which is how I've done it before. Its a Ford E-250 van, 2013 I think. Thanks for any help!

  5. New Twist on an Old Scam...

    I got a call today from a guy claiming to be from an "on-line relay center". He asked if I knew what that was, I said no. He explained that someone was typing a message to his service and that he was relaying the message by phone. He said this was a way for people to "save money on long distance...
  6. FlexiDesigner 8.6 work with FlexiPro 8.0?

    I am considering getting FlexiDesigner for my laptop. This will be FlexiDesiner 8.6 since that is the only version they are selling now. At the shop I use FlexiPro 8.0 and I see no need to upgrade to 8.6 at the shop (FlexiDesigner is pricey enough without throwing in an upgrade for the shop...
  7. RGB to CMYK = awful colors for biz cards?

    I am converting some RGB built files to cmyk for printing (4 Over). I am always surprised at the huge difference in vibrancy between RGB and cmyk. This file calls for a real bright kiwi type green and a bright blue. 2 dumb questions--- Are there any business card/postcard printers that print...
  8. Sign Estimating, Invoicing, Marketing w/ Activity

    This is a kudos and a weekend bump for the ActivityDude and the other nice people at Activity Software. We are (finally) in the process of switching over to Activity from Estimate 2.0. We've used Estimate for several years but I've always had some issues with it's QuickBooks interface, among...
  9. Activity POS Sign Accounting Software

    Anyone know what happened to Activity POS Software? It was a sign accounting and estimating program. We used it about 10 years ago until we switched to Estimate a few years ago (which was a mistake I believe now). I am looking for a little beefier accounting system. I've looked at Cyrious and...
  10. What was that post? Photo montage/collage in PhotoShop

    A while back someone posted a great "How-To" on creating a photo collage/montage in PhotoShop. I did some searches but could not find it. Does anyone remember what I'm reffering to? THANKS!!
  11. Batch Processing from Image Ready CS2

    I need to batch process a lot of images for the web with Image Ready CS2. In order to learn how to do this I checked the Help menu from within the program for batch processing and the first instruction has me stumped. "1. Choose File > Automate > Batch." My problem is that when I go to the...
  12. Auto serial numbering in Flexi

    Say you were doing door sign for Bob's Hotel. The top of the sign would read "Bob's Hotel", the bottom of the sign would read "Room #1". What is the procedure from within Flexi to recreate this sign with sequential numbers, say from 1 to 100? I know I've seen this function before, just can't...
  13. VectorArt Mega 3

    Just curious if that was out yet? I thought it was going to be available in January. Most of you will probably order this from Fred (Allied Computer Graphics). I thought it might be a cool deal if we all did. Fred's advice has saved me big bucks on several occasions and I really appreciate...
  14. Graphtec FC 7000 -130 origin point

    I just loaded material in my graphtec to cut and the home position of the blade seems to have swapped sides. As you stand in front of the plotter the blade's home position is supposed to be on the right side. Now when I press the F-1 key the blade holder sweeps across to the far left side of the...
  15. Widescreen monitors

    Just a heads up to an issue I discovered... I just got a new 22" widescreen monitor, great picture and it works perfect with my dual monitor setup. The problem is that rather that giving me more room it simply stretches the image to fill the space. It would not be a problem if you were just...
  16. Old Gerber Edge - Power supply problem?

    I have an old Gerber Edge. I think it's over 11 years old now (that's 197 in tech years!). It's been a real work horse without much problems. A few weeks ago it blew one of the the capaciters. Gerber no longer stocks them for this old machine but they had a few used ones from another machine...
  17. Extended Service Contracts

    I currently have a Mutoh Falcon Outdoor 48". I've had it about 20 months and it's definately paid for itself many times. The extended service contract on this Mutoh runs about $1,800 a year. I purchased it and I'm glad I did because I've required in-house service 3 times (replacing heads twice)...
  18. Cyrious Software

    I am considering Cyrious Software as my sign estimating/invoicing software. I currently use Estimate, which has some good features, but because of some issues I am looking at other options. I am wondering if anyone here uses Cyrious (or a different program) and what they think abou it.
  19. Gerber Edge software key question

    We just moved our Omega software and Gerber Edge to a new computer. I seem to remember being told not to put the software key and Edge in the same lpt port. I'm short one lpt port on the new machine and currently have tem both in the same port. It works, but will this cause problems? We use...
