As far as liking the Roland... yeah - I like being able to utilize all the scrap from a 15" Gerber plotter. It is faster than the GS line of Gerbers, but the Gerbers can be run absolutely unattended. I even load 'em with jobs at end of day & come in in the mornings with vinyl ready to weed...

Well, I have a gig of RAM in already and all is well. The "Sports Decals" thing has really mushroomed on me, & as I said I'm now doing military patch replica decals at nearby joint reserve base. I sure recommend anyone with an EDGE pursue this. I said previously that girl's fastpitch softball...

It's worked forever as setup 'til now? My thought was since this job is most number of foil changes I've done, mebbe I need to get more RAM? Or does that even make a diff.? Runnin' outa time on a job that will get me a whole new market segment for small decals - from the various military...

It's definitely a Monday here this morning! What's up with this: I am trying to run a 7 foil change print job of military decals. I get to the 4th color, it prints where it's supposed to, & just sits there unwinding the 4th color nonstop? Never had this issue before. I did take what I had to...

Sounds like you have the right amount of passion for this trade! Good luck & Welcome! Good to have new people like you aboard.

I guess I should surmise from total absence of replies that: a) I AM daft for asking this b) it CAN'T be done The one who told me you could contour cut EDGE prints seemed quite certain of it. I guess if ya could interpolate the origin point for the cut precisely...? Obviously, the Roland...

I honestly feel quite daft asking this - the impossibility of it seems so blatantly obvious. However, I have had one person tell me they were quite sure a Roland Camm1 could be used to cut out EDGE prints. Am I daft? Was the person who suggested it even more daft? IF... someone has accomplished...

IF I was just starting up again and really wanted to be serious about it & make a pile of money, I'd get a Gerber Solaris (sp?) flatbed printer. After having been doing vinyl since 1982, there is a big appeal for me in the idea of skipping vinyl lettering altogether and just printing right on...

I'm still confused with your thread here. What exactly then are you trying to do? If you don't know what you're doing, how did you get in the position you now find yourself? I don't know why your questions have piqued my desire to help... but I believe your questions are an honest request...

It is certainly a job that only experience can you make you capable of. However, many people routinely hand cut masking on top of fabric-like sign faces and do not score the surface. Also, cutting on a painted surface means not scoring the paint if it's a car for example. It is done all the...

I've done my share of what you pictured here... what with my shop at one time having been in the largest hangar at an airport servicing commercial jetliners. The idea of 16 panels of masking on a tail section would never have been the way we'd do it. Last one like that we did infinitely faster...

FINALLY - it works! I don't know why it never occured to me with all the comments about havin' the right cable, but I tried the cable hooked up to my Gerber plotter on the Roland and it has cut everything I've tried. Fortunately too, a friend of mine who is the Computer Sys. Architect for...

For "sports decals", which anymore I am doing every week, I think a person could pay for an EDGE in a few seasons. There are lots of 'em available used with ridiculously low "time" on the machine. The 15 inch plotters that work very easily with the EDGE also seem to be everywhere quite cheap on...

Okay... so then, what would be the steps after: I have converted Text to Paths, assigned a Line Weight of .001,... then what? Since I can't save it as an HPGL file - but can export as such, what would I do to cut the hpgl file? OP... GOOBER is all I've had (3 complete setups now), but it's...

Where's the "hehehehehehe"... it is REALLY missing here. I'm about ready to set it (Roland) up on it's own computer with Corel & nuthin else, & with the LPT-1 printer cable like you & Cadmn do.

It would do a test cut from day 1. See, even tho dang thing is "old", they bought it new & only used it a few weeks before giving up & storing it... so, I'd think it's gotta work eventually.

dat ain't him... it's Robert Redford the way he REALLY looks - that may be the pic he tried to suppress.

Tony T... don't stop now! we're close.... Yo TonyTeverisMeister... hopefully ya saw my comments yesterday also ab. your post & the "Query" button becoming active in Device Select when I click on the Roland but not the GS15Plus? & do ya think the special null modem cable might be the solution...

Yep... got everything ya suggested, & have tried everyone's suggestions so far w/exception of using null modem cable and/or Corel. When I select the Roland in Device Select, the Query button becomes active, but is greyed out when I select Gerber plotter. Possibly tho, the modem cable will...

The replies have been 50/50 on that. Cadmn has his hooked up like mine & it works fine. It was, like I said, first time it even tried to work.
