I'd think that would work with wood, too. The magnetic material would be heavy enough to sit (relatively) flat on the wood.

Now, having not hit "Post" until an hour and a half after typing out a response, I completely missed what they're after. My suggestion instead would be two sets of prints on whatever your standard, printed window graphics are done on. One set for the inside, one for the outside. And making very...

Having done a lot of work for a certain institution that continually tested the boundaries of what could and could not actually be done, I am familiar with the type of customer you're dealing with. In a number of those cases, I'd discover that the person asking for this kind of thing was often...

I'm pretty sure the Volt is a car. And not a very large one.

Glad they were able to solve your problems. I would suggest a daily maintenance regimen. Just from experience (on just about every printer I've ever run), daily maintenance can help prevent minor issues from becoming major problems. Plus, your weekly maintenance time can be reduced by taking a...

Not familiar with anything off the shelf. I'd suggest building your own. 2" round aluminum tubing should be plenty strong for the rolls to sit on, or go 2-1/2" if you're worried it's not. A base with 4" x 4" for the uprights, notched to accept the tubing. I'd also suggest finding some ball...

The offset for a blade used to cut reflective is almost always different than the one used for "regular" vinyl. Make sure you adjust your offset and that will go away.

This may seem silly, but have you rebooted the printer and the computer you're using? The only time I can recall seeing "Converting" on the printer's LCD readout was after cancelling a job. It usually meant the queue hadn't completely flushed the data. I could usually clear it out by holding...

Not just the case you mentioned, but there are a number of municipalities in the metro Atlanta area that allow you to calculate your sign area in this manner. I've just never thought of applying it to a star (or other shape). That said, when you have a customer that wants to use every single...

I've used zamzar for other format conversions (a word document or something- I don't really recall). It worked great.

As someone else already said, it's under Edit > Job Statistics. If you have a bunch of shapes, you'll have to scroll through to find the one you want. They've never had it work with just a selected object- at least it never has when I've used it. I'm curious, though- why the exactitude?

Yep. I missed the curve on the R.

Looks like GeoSlab 703 Extra Bold Italic to me.

If the cling is supposed to go on exterior glass, do not do it first surface. I've can't tell you how many times I've had to explain to customers why their clings that they got from another sign shop fell off when they were trying to use them, first surface, on exterior glass and expecting them...

Yeah- no way I'd try that without transfer tape on it.

Yep. Maddening.

I understand that one, but I worked for quite a few years in an industry that did use dies to cut with. The first time I saw the term in the sign business, I was pretty sure they meant plotter cut, but I asked anyway. On the rare occasions when I see it that way now, I usually just ignore the...

^^Yep. I'd never send out a banner for outdoor use without grommets. I've used the mini-tabs and the full sized ones with grommets and never had a problem (except in the cases where the customer thinks a banner is going to last beyond its short term life).

Just to play devil's advocate, Flexi is now at version 12. The one you're attempting to install is far past its end of life in their eyes (Version 8 was released, if I recall, in 2005 or 2006). Unless you had a support contract with them, you're probably a low priority to them. I'm not saying...

We spray the alcohol on the belt, cover it with plastic (cheap drop cloth or something similar) for about five minutes, then scrub with a Scotchbrite pad or something similar soaked in water. It may take some scrubbing if the ink is really cooked on there, but we usually do it once a month...
