  1. OLD FLEXI, ILLUSTRATOR, PHOTOSHOP. COREL

    I know nothing of Flexi. Photoshop and Illustrator, you can do that as creative cloud and just pay monthly, so I think the cost associated could be reasonable. I don't know how old your Corel is, but I know I had X5 and upgraded to X7 for $150 out the door. No monthly fees. So if those are...
  2. Would A CNC Work?

    I have never cut magnet material on a CNC, but as a CNC guy myself, I am going to say NO. Trying to cut floppy, flimsy material without vacuum hold down, forget it. And if you have vac hold down, your overhead will outpace the profitability of the magnets. Seems like that punch press thing...
  3. New Local Sign Shop

    Is he Amish? They have their kids run stuff around here. Took my bike in to get it worked on at an Amish bike shop. Guy sat there and read a paper while his 10 year old worked on my bike...haven't been back since. Not gonna have a 10 year old mechanic adjusting my brakes and shifter.
  4. Strange blue random lines of varying width showing up in the same area

    So I've had problems kind of like this with my laser...it has an encoder strip as well. Cleaned many times, kinda took care of it for a day, then back to the same problems. Turned out to be the little pcb board on top that reads the encoder strip. Not sure that principle crosses over for your...
  5. Hand Carved & Gold Leafed

    Very nice. Any prospects for adding a CNC in the future?
  6. Discussion Why is this so common in most threads concerning costs........................??

    From a consumer standpoint, I will tell you in my 20s and early 30s, price was most important to me. So I shopped at the big box places, got burned many times, tried to get customer service from 17 year olds that didn't even know where the bathroom was, all that. Now at 41 I don't look at...
  7. Suggestions Derogatory Sign Request

    DO NOT MAKE THAT SIGN. It will get out who made that and you do not want to be a part of their disagreement. If you make that sign, next thing you know you'll be appearing in court explaining yourself while all your other customers are waiting for their signs. What is more damaging to your...

    The only reason I even run is so that I can eat ice cream and cake. And pizza.
  9. Best fume extraction option ?

    In the States we have OSHA...I know, I know, lots of red tape, barely competent inspectors, etc, but the idea behind it is the safety and health of employees especially as it pertains to negligent bosses and unsafe working environments. Do you have anything like that where you can make an...
  10. The jump to Flatbed / Finishing Table (Kongsberg)

    Well I can't speak to your specifics on printing, etc, but I can speak to space/efficiency. When we made some changes in space, throughput, efficiency of processes, I was flabbergasted by how much money there is alone in paying close attention to efficiency. Material handling, throughput...

  12. Need Help Need help with this shopbot

    You may not need to download the control software; it may already exist on the computer. I don't have a shopbot but I do have several EZ Routers, kinda the same class of router. If this thing is anything like mine, yeah there's a high learning curve, but they are easy to work on once you...

  16. UV printing on tin

    I have a customer that wants me to UV print on 4” tin squares. Just black letters directly onto tin, not painted or anything. I used isopropyl alcohol as an adhesion promoter, but to no avail. This customer is after that farmhouse/tin/rusty metal chip and Joanna Gaines look. So I am looking for...
