I love FS .. dead simple, rarely any issues. I only do simple lettering but my challenge now is; I am doing simple lettering on about 50 names with an avg. character count of about 10 letters/numbers. The wall I have run into is: I have to adjust a helluva lot of spacing (tracking) between...

w-w-w ... that make eminent sense! Since I've only been weeding for a week, I can picture the soup I'd be in trying to keep everything intact tho'... Jim

Great - I knew you folks would know the answer. Thanks. Jim

You know that sh/t that seems to come on the front of every new thing you buy - those labels that you have to work to get off? Paper ..Sure, it will break into little pieces when you pick at it, but is there a vinyl where the glue is so sticky and the film so fragile - that it takes real...

Take this from where it came; I am a newbie (one week) and Mac user. Flexi Starter is a basic lettering program that can import, compile and cut. All your 'designs' would have to come from elsewhere. It cost me about $120. MacSign (Cut version) came with the machine, but is not as intuitive...

Ya, JH ... that was stoopid. My local sign lady said; "Now you see why smaller stuff costs more!" ...luckily, I'm internal - not selling on the Street. Sorry Fred - I tried the internal 'select image' but it wouldn't show up in the preview; I could not see it loading. So I hung it on one of...

There's tons of things for me to figure out, but I got something done that I probably will not repeat.. Offsite Pic Replaced Please Observe Our Photo Posting Rules I started with a 3rd gen. Xerox that was made into a screen print Pos. .. I scan'd the Pos .. opened in Photoshop ..added the...

sinage: Eye see .. says the Blind Man! That's what you meant... I had to see an image in the manual. Ahem, ... I'll spend a little more time with than PDF file ..before I come back wearing my clown suit again. Jim

signage.. if that was a question: Oracal 651 It seems to work OK at: 6IPS @ 45grams. ..I put a new 'Clean Cut' blade in it, as I did not know what, or how much, the fellow before me cut. I also cut some Sail numbering cloth (sticky-backed polyester) just to see .. It did that too but...

Simple one: When you put a knife in the holder .. how tight do you screw it down? ..how far should it extend? Less simple: I need to do a full restart of the D75R cutter when I send a second job to the cutter from FlexiSign. I have used Flexi8 Starter for Mac for the past week because it...

I think I found the odd feed/backfeed problem; I did not have one end guide in tight. That side had a wobble so the vinyl was not feeding correctly. Jim

The cutter came to me used, tho' only a year old ... I got Flexisign starter for Mac .. loaded and hooked up USB. Loaded cutter with 50yd roll of 24" Oracal 651 ...and, typical of us Mac users: just did it. I figure I got multiple, useable lettering cuts in about 1/2hr.. (weeding .80" letters...
