  1. Flexi sign vectorize a logo

    in the drop down add more color layers to include the white background. If you just have a 2 color logo then in the drop down have 3 colors to trace. If you only have it set to 2 then Flexi will disregard the white.
  2. Need help choosing a printer

    My shop runs 3 inkjets and a Gerber Edge 2. Thermal is good at what its good at. Clear decals with white or color over white. Reverse print on cling and stuff like that. I keep our Edge in service just to print a few things i cant print with inkjet. so if a Gerber Edge is what will work for you...
  3. Need help choosing a printer

    I would outsource if all I was printing was 10 to 15k decals a year on a machine. Printers love to be printing and hate sitting idle. But If I had to buy something I would buy a used Roland Ecosol printer. Any model would be fine but if you wanted to not spend a ton and if the heads were to go...

    I know it but cant find it.
  6. Question Discontinued - Quickbooks Premier Desktop -

    We use the Desktop subscription. We did the same, upgrade after 2 or 3 years. It sucks to be on their subscription plan but I didnt want our books to on "their" servers. And we also use print boss addon for our check printing, if we migrated to online it would have been a royal PITA to print checks.
  7. Gerber scientific stop manufacturing machines..real or not?

    Zero-Nine was in business long before they made printer foils. In the 70's and 80's they made BMX number plates and numbers.
  8. Self Healing Table Top

    We used to run glass tops and they are good, except when someone tosses a tool on it and it breaks and glass is hard on blades. I've switched everything over to either yellow tools or mcmaster carr. https://www.mcmaster.com/87875K64/ http://www.yellotools.us/Cutting/Cutting-Mats/

    The crap I've seen around here, it's a wonder most of the buildings haven't burned down.
  11. Discussion Slowing down or staying busy?

    Busy as a cat covering sh*t. Slowed down on our big fleet clients due to vehicle shortage but picked up on individuals. Have been printing some fine art lately that fell into our lap.
  12. Bordeaux Ink in Roland

    Applied Graphics, I will call you next week. Out of the office till Tuesday.
  14. Liquid laminate for 3mIJ 35c

    I have an old 54in laminator. The bottom roller has a slight cut in it. It still runs good and would work for an application machine for hard substrates. I just bought a new one when the employee ran his olfa knife across it. You pick it up or arrange shipping and you can have it.
