  1. Ok, dumb one about fonts

    Yeahright! HOW did that happen anyway? WHY do we have so many fonts? I always liked the advice from Mike Stevens that a dozen fonts we can execute well should be all you'd need. I realize he was referring to sign painting. I still mostly approach it that way tho if left to my own devices. There...
  2. What kind of shop do you have?

    Actually, it DIDN'T work as well as anticipated! I sold out a little over five years ago, and referred most of the people who still contacted to me to SteveC on this board. When I decided to re-open, I mistakenly assumed everyone would still rememberr me after five years! Some did, most didn't...
  3. What kind of shop do you have?

    Well. I've given this storefront a 7 month shot now, and wjile I've enjoyed working away from home after the better part of ove twenty year, I'm seriously considering completely revampling an attached garage we don't use - except for storage. I'll hafta get a storage bldg for out back Gonna...
  4. Cutting Strips a Replacement Item?

    I'm wondering if the thin white strip on my 2nd plotter that the blade rides on is a removable thing that wears out? The manual I downloaded doesn't answer this. It seems to have a barely noticable groove wearing in it about six inches long at the left end. Since I'm still getting used to a...
  5. An Official Hello! :D

    Wow... Billings MT - don't expect me to feel sorry for ya! That's beautiful country. A 2nd WELCOME from Texas.
  6. Hi to Everyone!

    ANOTHER Welcome from Texas! Glad you're here.
  7. EDGE fonts ???

    Ummm... thanks, I"ve been doing that part for years already though. I'm looking especially for a source of Edge fonts that already have fills/effects/etc applied. I really am not overly excited about Gerber's own selection, or their cost. Apparently though, nobody has tapped into this market and...
  8. Hi Everyone

    hi Eileen... welcome aboard. Maine huh? ever seen Stephen King's little gothic house in person up there?
  9. EDGE fonts ???

    Anyone know of a source for new Edge fonts? Reasonably priced - or free? I've tried downloading the ones at the InKnowVative site (where Signs101 is a sponsor), but they won't load.
  10. New in the Sign business

    Robert... your website has the county we live in misspelled.
  11. New in the Sign business

    Wait... SORRY! YOU make FOUR!
  12. New in the Sign business

    Guess this makes three of us in Fort Worth now! WELCOME! Where'd ya move here from?
  13. is this stuff junk?

    I'm turned off by whole appearance of the website. The very error laden translations from Chinese to English make me want to RUN... as does the flashing misspelling of GURRANTEE in the low price guArrantee. Definitely looks like a get what ya pay for stinger.
  14. Roland vs. Gerber cut quality?

    This is in no way a swipe at the Roland plotter I have... once it was up & running I began to use it almost constantly. What I've noticed is a very major difference in how it cuts circular areas of letters. While the Gerber plotter is entirely smooth on these cuts, the Roland produces very...
  15. Crashing when importing EPS files

    Aren't computers fun? Mine had a hard drive total apocalypse yesterday. Quite "fortunately", it occured about 20 minutes after I had mirrored my hard drive onto a swappable backup. It was the first total backup I had done in around 2 months... it was quite weird - the thought of doing the backup...
  16. Torn metal effect....??

    By the way - forgot to mention - the examples you posted really are not that good compared to what I saw on a regular basis in the custom paint shop at a motorcycle factory. I'm sure the guy doing one for me will produce something really awesome.
  17. Torn metal effect....??

    Dunno about a plug-in for the torn metal effect. I too have searched a lot for a tutorial on how to do it on the computer - no luck. I'm having an airbrush guy at a motorcycle factory do me a small metal panel (18x24) of the effect and I'm gonna scan it and go the bitmap route for the torn...
  18. new machine is driving me crazy

    bob... I've never even owned one of these plotters, but I read this thread entirely. Your suggestions to correct the problem made sense even to me - a non owner. I'm amazed that what you said seems to have been entirely overlooked - EVEN after you said you have one of these and your setup you...
  19. Roland is My Baby!!!

    Well... the guy who left this plotter off awhile back stopped in yesterday while it happened to be running! He said he was glad to see I was getting some use out of it. I asked him what he had in mind that I could pay him for it. He actually told me "just keep it, use it, and I hope it helps...
