  1. Need Help Vision 25 series Router-engraver stopping

    Well, I had it off overnight and the darn thing is still doing it o_O
  2. Need Help Vision 25 series Router-engraver stopping

    Hm, I'll look into that. I had increasing issues in the previous room as it would get hot as heck in there. Have since relocated the whole shop to a much better space that I can keep fairly cool and the problems have been much less.
  3. Need Help Vision 25 series Router-engraver stopping

    I have had every problem under the sun with my Vison 25, over the past 7 years. It's just a nightmare and their customer care is just appalling. That said, I've have a new issue today. At the end of engraving the file, any file, the router freaks. It should stop spinning and lift up to return...
  4. Vision Pro ( Font problem

    I have always had mine set at 1 inch height using UNION-1 with no issue. I assumed there was a setting somewhere in my inherited software that somehow got changed in all the reinstalls but for the life of me I can't find anything.
  5. Vision Pro ( Font problem

    Yes, sorry. These are the raised text (tactile) for ADA signs. The UNION-1 font used to appear as the outer contour of the letters. But now it appears as a single line in the center of the letter form. Even if I plot the cut I still get that line instead of the full letter form
  6. Vision Pro ( Font problem

    After moving my engraver to a more appropriate room and then having a power hiccup that knocked out my software I am back up and running except my Tactile font. IT uninstalled and reinstalled my software and fonts... now the UNION-1 I have been using for 7 years for my tactile signs is wonky...
  7. Replacing my vinyl cutter, recommendations?

    I've been using a Roland Camm-1 for a few years and its time to replace it. I do a variety of applications but nothing too large so a 28 inch cut area is just fine for me. At the moment I am looking at Laserpoint 3 arms and Vevor kw-870, they appear to be adequate for my needs. Anyone using...
  8. Large Frosted Plexi

    Thank you. I'll contact them, maybe they have something that will have the same frosted look.
  9. Large Frosted Plexi

    Who is the vendor?
  10. Large Frosted Plexi

    They are large (almost mural like) signs for the main plaza of the University. My smaller versions are about 60 inch, frosted plexi panels that are mounted with standoffs. I thought if I can find something that has the same frosted plexi look, I could use a frame instead if it's thinner
  11. Large Frosted Plexi

    Does anyone know of a decent vendor, that ships or delivers to the Memphis TN area, and carries extended sizes of frosted plexi glass? I have been using P95 Acrylic for our signs but am in need of much larger pieces, upwards of 12 maybe 14 feet. It seems to only come in 8ft lengths.
  12. Is there a good app for sign-makers workflow?

    It's working well for me. I have setup columns for where a particular job is in the process and can easily drag it back and forth. Each job has it's own file/card and can have images, all kinds of files, notes and tags all over it.
  13. Need Help Frosted look substrate

    The sandblasting is not an option but I do like the vinyl thought. Thank you.
  14. Need Help Frosted look substrate

    I have been using a frosted look acrylic material for our large signs but I have a new wven larger size that I can't find a resource for. Does anyone have a source for 12 foot long panels of clear, matte, frosted acrylic? Or know of a material that would look similar at a distance?
  15. Engraver Space Safety

    I took over a sign shop after it was all setup. I have a Vision 9 engraver that is setup in an approx 15x15 space. It is painful when the engraver is running. The noise is tolerable with proper ear protection but the concussive force of the unit jars my joints. I feel like my teeth are going...
  16. Summa DC5 printing problems

    It's an EPS, and its 13x19 artboard, but 12x18 art. When imported into the RIP it shows as 12x18
  17. Summa DC5 printing problems

    Does anyone have any advice on using a Summa DC5. I inherited this unit with the job basically with the job... I have cleared everything from my file that is not on the artboard, it is only 13x18 inches, I have loaded material 24 inches wide and the print area should be 20.6 inches. Yet I keep...
  18. Suggestions Vinyl Cutter, bit the dust

    I just started in my current position 2 weeks ago and today our old Roland bit the dust. I need to replace it and am looking at the new version of the same machine Roland GS-24. Does anyone have, or can anyone point me to, any comparisons/reviews of this machine and similar ones? I have used a...
