I just saw that the most frequent poster is now Chuck. I've never heard of him! :Big Laugh

My pregnant wife and I left on a Friday afternoon and Drove 14 hours to Florida. Checked into a room and slept for 2 hours. Woke up and installed the 5' x 5' monument sign with 1" thick waterjet cut aluminum letters mounted to it that we had fabricated and brought with us. Drove home and was...

Rob Almstrom at IPS is very sharp on JV3's. They're in PA but he travels all over. http://www.ipsdigital.com/index.htm

Do a search for "Edge test print" here or at 4edgetalk.com to find out how to run a test to see if the head is firing as it should. We use Omega to drive the Edge. You can find the hours on the machine by pushing a certain button a bunch of times - again, do a search and this will pop up. 80...

I don't have much left in the memory banks about how to operate it. What I do remember is that I designed and output directly from Corel. I setup it up to cut anything that had a hairline magenta stroke on it. I know that because I still run across files every now and then on our server that...

That's way too funny, sad, and true all at the same time. I had a PC-60 about 8 years ago and can honestly say that purchasing it was one of the worst business decisions I ever made. I know this isn't what you want to hear and I'm sorry for that, but in my case, it's certainly the truth.

I'd love to hear how that goes. We have a CNC but always use Gemini for plaques. I've never thought of doing it ourselves. Please keep us updated.

Afternoon bump. Anyone have any tips on this?

Chris, I'm running into the exact same problem right now. Please post back what you find out and I'll do the same. Does anyone else have any ideas? Thanks,

This is a great topic and one that I would contribute to in the contributing member section. I wouldn't feel comfortable sharing this in the open section.

There was a great article in one of the sign mags in the last month or so detailing how to look over a used printer to help insure you're not getting a dud. I think it was either in Sign Business or Digital Graphics. I think Mimaki's are good machines but it really depends on how you take...

Afternoon bump.

Has anyone tried carving letters into slate using their CNC? If so, would be willing to share your experience with doing so? Bits used? Did it work?

I didn't answer my own poll. 6 FT. 1 PT.

Including yourself(if you work there!), how many people do you employ full time at your business?

We've had Vonage for little over a year now, one line at home and one line at the sign business. At home, we have Comcast cable high speed internet and the phone sounds just like a landline. At work, we have 3 landlines and the Vonage line is our last "rollover" line. We have Embarq...

I agree completely on the inkjet. He got our JV3 about 5 years ago but our Edge still runs everyday. I'm struggling a little bit with having our Edge 1 just taking up real estate in our shop but it definitely changes my perspective after fully understanding the cost of repairing our Edge 2...

I've been trying to sell our Edge 1 because it's been sitting idol since we picked up a used Edge 2 this spring. I saw a post recently that pegs the printhead replacement cost at $4K - $5K. This made me wonder if I should reconsider selling my Edge 1. Maybe I should just keep it as a spare. So...
