It may depend on the woman. Say her last name is Kahlo and if she got her PhD or doctrine while she was unmarried, gets married and takes her husbands last name (Rivera), she's no longer Dr. Kahlo, she's Dr. Rivera... But her husband or that name didn't go through that whole process or journey...

When saving it as a PNG, did set it to have a transparent background? Did you turn off necessary fills in the image? I just typed up a word, saved as PNG with transparent background and it shows up in flexi as having no background...

whenever the printer tells me to replace it.... even in the middle of a job.. lol we keep 2 ink cartridges ready because we've had rare issues where the printer wont accept an ink and of course it would be in the middle of a super large job needed in the next day or 2.... it's funny how...

the stroke movements the oscillating knife does on our cnc making cutting corrugated cardboard a breeze. I think if you use a jigsaw, just make sure to get the right blade. ours isn't serrated and it doesn't chew up the boards at all.

as a crafter who once contemplated buying a Cricut, the sign shop experienced person in me says hell no, not worth the money if a printer and plotter could do the job SOO much better. (unless I was making super duper tinyyyyyyyyyyyyy things, then maybe.. nah... still most likely a no)

my friend uses a hand held jigsaw and makes giant lettering out of her garage :)

Hello! We are looking to hire a Production Manager in the SF Bay Area! Someone with experience and is familiar with Flexi, Onyx, and flatbed printing preferred! We have a CNC Router as well. Please message me directly for more details. Thank you!

Maybe you can find someone on the forums over at https://www.penciljack.com/ But you should expect to pay and be grateful for their time. These are artists that have dedicated their life/time/etc on a skill that they've spent thousands of hours on improving, practicing, and perfecting... I hope...

I've been wanting to do this at our shop for the longessssssttttttttt. but I'm not the woman in charge so... oh well

So when we do big cut frost jobs, I let the vinyl sit and dry then spray the transfer tape with soapy water and its so much easier to pull off.

different printer but I made a little thing for this issue once I saw this video. we print magnets on the flatbed now....

hmm so now that I think about it... we were wondering why our fb had been so crappy... it wasn't until we got a 2nd HP flatbed that a tech noticed that our ionizing bar wasn't working... LOOL so he had it replaced. since then, the prints look a lot better.

I'm still learning so thought I'd share! but if this is more helpful, then that's great too.

PS. your working spaces color settings should be the following: RGB: sRGB IEC61966-2.1 CMYK: Coated GRACoL 2006 Same goes in your RIP/Production stuff

seems like a head height issue..... but that doesn't make sense, it measures the thickness... could also be the material :/ sorry

same boat regarding fb550! (ahhhh hope I don't get flagged for this again lol)

I think I've said this before but handmade and custom is really coming back. That's great you did well at these! There's definitely a difference between those (at least in my generation) who do hand painted lettering (at a higher price) and those who do cricut like things (at a quick but low...

We limit cut vinyl to single color signs (such as vehicle lettering, window lettering, etc). there are exceptions, like you said, with metallic, mirrored, or specific cut vinyl colors but anything more than 2-3 colors, we print. When I first started, we would do everything roll to roll...

Our shop has got a HP FB550 for sale! We've got white ink option with the tables as well as roll to roll. Please message me for details if you are interested!

we just use GF automark with either matte or gloss lam depending on the clients preference. LOL
