  1. Macs/Windows/Gerber Omega?

    while at a university this weekend, I saw a flyer for Macs on sale to students. In the description of it, it said they now run "your favorite Windows apps". Would that make possible utilizing one for Omega? Dunno squat 'bout Macs, but always believed all the Mac bigots were sincere in their...
  2. EDGE fritzing out!?!?

    Plainly and simply, I am in the middle of printing/cutting some intricate files for an 18-wheeler tractor. It is all Celtic artwork, and I have purely vector files that are up to just slightly over 2MB - lotsa vector info! (intertwined Celtic knotwork). I am having very erratic performance...
  3. Business Names??

    How 'bout the word SIGNS very prominent & legible in whatever flavor font ya like, with memorable-at-a-glance phone number? Call it whatever then, the idea is for phone to ring anyway. Old timer I knew swore by A-Z Signs as his name for 40 yrs in several states. Gotta respect insistent old timer...
  4. What kind of plotter should I buy?

    Be like Arlo... Arlo feels he has made right decision on plotters! Since he has an Edge printer he wouldn't trade for , uh... not, not HER, mebbe my fav truck? - he has a 15 inch Gerber. They'r bulletproof and run unattended thru a whole roll of vinyl. OP's comments also made Arlo work thru the...
  5. Anybody use JASC Paintshop Pro 8?

    Use this program ONLY because of one specific rectangular selection tool for bitmaps. It can be very finely tweaked. Can't believe others don't have it, but it is ONLY reason I incorporate it. The rest of the program is sufficient to the max as well, but man that sel. tool has taken untold hours...
  6. Decals of auto manufacturers, copyright issues, etc

    THIS is the very reason I've thoroughly enjoyed having 3 kids grow up in my sign biz. The 2nd goes off to UT Austin next week - thinking of EDGE printing as no more complicated than an MP-3 player. Hopefully, he'll end up an architect with a disdain for "hellvet med!". Youngest will be following...
  7. Chinese girl

    Yet another "Howdy Pard!" from Tejas. I too found the English on Chinese sites bewildering, but I do NOT know a bit of Chinese - so no room to talk. Hope this site helps ya.
  8. I am...

    Mark, didja ever know Bill Neff? He too worked exclusively in movies towards end of his life. First was Cruise movie, I think it was called Fourth of July, last one before he passed was was that one with George Clooney as a prison escapee in the south who recorded a hit record - can't think of...
  9. Tire Tracks? Pipe dream or possibility??

    Dave Dordey has an excellent one on one of his "earlier" vehicle graphics CD's. Ya might contact him at auroragraphics.net
  10. Beveled Text Shape?

    I got a custom lettering project for a customer's truck to be edge printed. Right now, it is an adaptation of an old hand painted job that became his logo. I wanna beef up the text shapes with a bevel. Anybody know a fast way to get a reasonably punchy appearance for this?
  11. "EDGEd" Out!

    i moved cable to other lpt port, and all's fine now... dunno why it even happened in 1st place - a glitch, but thanx
  12. "EDGEd" Out!

    Afore I go beserk, possibly someone knows firsthand wha'happened! My Edge has disappeared from being able to be selected to print to... it shows as installed, but its icon is greyed out in selection ribbon of plot, no matter what I try. Did nothing diff. since last using it, just booted as usual...
  13. Iceland Calling

    For those of you (like myself) boiling away under the summer sun, I personally have been to Reykjavic Iceland twice - during a 7 month trip to Europe when I was in my 20's (& had mo' money!). Absolutely delightful place with a smouldering volcano in backdrop I saw when landing. Love to be there...
  14. Used Plotters - A Better Source than Ebay?

    Reminds me of awhile back goin' into a pawn shop for my usual look around at guitars/basses/amp deals. For those who know what one is, I saw a brand spankin' new K12Cutawl machine for sale for $80.00! I've used 'em a lot in years past for a line of dimensional "interior decor" fake signs I used...
  15. Need GrafixAdv6.0

    I have a "Plans A-B" working on how I'm going to utilize a substantial free financial windfall within a few weeks. IF I sell out the entire Gerber setup (EDGE, Omega2CP, GS15Plus plotter, tons of foils), I wanna let it go with the GA program it came with. I paid for the Omega upgrade separately...
  16. Hey designsbytmm I made it!

    ya sure nailed that quite succinctly Steve! i know my own knee jerk reaction is "oh mygod - another one!!!" - particularly when it's in the few miles between you an me. i wanna barf anymore when i see a guy with a cheapo plotter and who knows what software all of a sudden be bidding on jobs...
  17. Flexi Trouble After Mal-Ware Infection

    Second that! I have a friend who is the lead computer systems architect at a major defense contractor and HE recommended I dump Norton in favor of the FREE AVG antivirus. It smoothed out all the headaches Norton was giving me.
