If all you are doing is cutting, Corel and the Graphtec plug-in (on the CD in the box - so is the manual...) may work for you. Try it before you buy anything else. Do you have either Corel or Illustrator? Are you used to using them? If not, and if you don't have any experience with them -...

He's doing this so that Jack Bauer can sneak around the flank...

The easy fast way is to lam the vinyl with your squeege, then squeege it onto the substrate. 3-4 minutes setup at the max. If you just want vinyl on the substrate, wait a few hours or maybe you need to drop your ink and raise your temps a little.

Walk in customers will eat a LOT of time, and they generally want labor intensive small stuff. I'd suggest some sort of industrial place, with a garage door available so you can drive a vehicle indoors to work on it.

I feel very positive today.

I still own my Kaypro CP/M machine... Two desktop tower PCs and one laptop for the business. Have considered a mac, but unless you're dealing with magazine folks who haven't figured out that InDesign rocks over Quark, most of the business world is PC based. It's just such a hassle dealing with...

Best thing to do is get a Juice Drops disk, and then dissect one of 'em down to the individual layers, figure out how they did things...

Queued up a coupla jobs. Did the large/complex one first. Then a set of magnets. Just checked, and the magnets printed first (I guess they processed/ripped first), and the other thing is about halfway done... Wild.

Oh yeah... I pulled up task mangler while I was doing it... I think that memory for the production mangler topped out at around 80 or so megs... had a bunch free. CPU use was at 100% or so tho...

And hey, at least _some_ of us can spell... Off to go scrounge the dumpster...

The other night, I figured I'd crunch a big file, just for grins... 3x8 banner at 720dpi from a 1.3 gig tiff... This is an older confuser too... Took a few minutes to load, then I hit rip/print and send, and it probably took 15 minutes or so "processing" and just a little while "ripping."

A buncha money. Get the thing running, make money, learn what you like and don't like about the software, and THEN decide if you wanna upgrade or not.

Kraig, if that happens, we need to have video on youtube...

Hey, he's been spanked... I thought 99% of the stuff was either cute/funny...

It's all about art, or not art. http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/botticelli/botticelli.venus.jpg

I used one of those little cleaning cloths that came with one of my rifle scopes.

If you don't have a contour cut defined, it won't print the marks. Doesn't matter if you're starting with a vector or not. I think it's something effects/contour cut... Not enough to define it - you have to hit the *&^*()&^)(*& checkbox thingie too.

John, the things need to be able to cope with CMYK profiles, etc... A lot of the lower end ones can't do that.
