This is likely a no brainer but I always merge layers before I save as .tif. Smaller file size.

I own both an Edge2 & the Mimaki JV3. The E2 spends a lot more time idle now but I have no plans to get rid of it. It's got some limits but what ain't. BTW, I know there are fans of Omega software out there but It's a pretty poor design app. IMHO.

My Olfa knife. I almost never use anything else to cut or trim with. I know a lot of folks love an exacto but I buy the stainless breakaway olfa blades in the 50 pack. The blades gets dull, just snap off a section and keep on cutting. 2nd, 50" stomp shear. Least handy..., table saw. Big...

Hey I've been there before. I bought a Pantone color bridge guide and life got a whole lot easier right away. I think you can find one on Ebay or from many local suppliers. Wayne

Wow, I was about to make the same offer before I read Barry's reply. That's a fine thing to offer Barry. You've earned my respect. Wayne

Hey Doug, Have you got the venting for the printer worked out? Also, I didn't see a laminator in the shots. Do you already have one? I'm going thru my own growing pains here so just asking.

I feel your pain Doug. I've done some partial wraps with the Edge and now just farm out the printing to a friend with a JV3. Like you, I'm a one man shop and I have to be all things here. Dave, I think you'll find the 3M with comply to be the best for wrapping. About doing it with an Edge...

I've had several in the past but if I was buying a new one this morning it would likely be the Mimaki or Graphtec. I voted other because I have owned an Anagraph for about 4 years and it's been a work horse. Also, the Ana is the only cutter I know that will cut outside of the pinch rollers...

I own both but all I do with Gerber is drive my edge. As a design software Omega is really a week bunch of code. I have had a whole list of issues with it for 3 years. Every time I'm sent a patch or fix from Gerber some new issue arises. Is your flexi on the same system as Omega? Are you...

I use a 34" CODA. Like Fred, works good for what I use it for.

You are very right Fred. That's the way I use Flexi and PS often. Or I use to. On my new PC I bought PS 7 and while you can apply the filters, etc., they don't work correctly. I've fooled around with it for a while now. I've got the lastest and greatest of Flexi Pro but... I sure didn't know...

Oh yea, your having way more fun than is allowed without a permit. Cool stuff.

18yrs. Worked for a very talented sign artist in the late 70s. I then started pinstriping. Had some talent but needed to feed a family. In '86 when the kids were grown and on their own I made the leap. Wow! What a wild ride it has been. When I moved to this town there were only three...

Well hhmmm... If this were in FlexiPro I'd check the production manager. There is a setting for scale. Once set, to say 50%, it will default to that every time you open production manager until you change it to something else. SignLab may work another way but I'd bet it's something that...

Give us a little more info. What screen? What Software? The letter you've cut or the letter on the screen has changed? Work with us here... Glad to help if I can. Wayne
