  1. Want ask? Workspace

    I think it is there to ease transition from a different software. For example when we purchased Flexi, we were still using Inspire, and after a week of frustration, I uninstalled Flexi and continued to use Inspire for several months. Then one slow day I was looking at the Flexi manual and saw...
  2. Aluminum feed rates

    Just wanting to confirm some feed rates for cutting aluminum, because what I read is completely different from what the guy who trained me on my ArtCAM software told me. I have been ordering Onsrud bits from Hartlauer in Orgeon. On his "catalog" it says to cut aluminum with the 63-600 series...
  3. d750

    You generally speaking can't go wrong with a Summa. I personally prefer the Tangential cutters versus the drag knifes though.
  4. Roland or Summa

    I have, and always will use a Summa as my primary cutter. Our current beast has been running strong for over nine years now, its a T1010 Plus model. I won't dog on the Roland cutters, the only experience I have had with Roland is on our ColorCAMM and I assume that their standalone cutters are...
  5. flexisign demo?

    All the ripping takes place on whatever computer the Production Manager runs on, the core Flexi program has to prep the file to send to the PM, which sometimes takes a while, but the bulk of the processing still would run on print server.
  6. flexisign demo?

    You can run the Production Manager (what takes care or ripping and running the printer) on a different computer, its something I would strongly suggest to anyone. As for a demo, try to get a hold of a local reseller for Flexi, they should be able to help you out. And if you plan on ripping...
  7. Vectorizing In Flexi

    Try the Bezier vectorize method instead, mucho better results in my experience.
  8. Are there issues with Flexi 7.6v2, I have 7.5v5

    I haven't had a problem, just be sure you upgrade to 7.6v2, and don't stop at 7.6v1, it had problems on Scanvec's end.
  9. Vinyl Roll Slicing

    Most suppliers that we have worked with offer slitting, usually one or two cuts free too. Honestly, I don't know what those slitters cost, but shouldn't suppliers figure that into their operating expenses? Like Fred said, there are plenty of other suppliers out there, and more than one of...
  10. Encad Vinyl Jet Questions Please help!!!

    The VinylJet was the printer that would "cure" the vinyl so that you actually encapsulated the ink into the vinyl. Supposed to be the best outdoor durable aqueous printer you can get, for the price.
  11. combo printer/fax/copier opinions? ideas?

    I personally wouldn't get an all in one, is just me personally. Get the nice laser printer and a scanner and that'll be all you need. When you want to do copies, use the scanner, pretty much all scanners have a copy function anymore, the same for faxing. I never like all-in-one units, if...
  12. K of C vector

    www.brandsoftheworld.com http://www.brandsoftheworld.com/search/?query_id=659013&page=5&mtype=14&brand_id=19914 Second place I always look after checking our own corporate logo database.
  13. Vacuum table

    Thanks for the link, Ernie and I both have the same router too. I sent an email but I don't know if it went through, I'll see if he responds and I might send him another just in case.
  14. Vacuum table

    Has anyone here made their own vacuum hold down table for their router?? Of course I am planning on making it using the router, but I didn't know if anyone would have any suggestions, or plans for one that they have made, that they would be willing to share. The dealer we got our router through...
  15. Flexi - Optimize Cutting Order

    I think that it is worth playing with, and I do think that it is dependant on what you are cutting. My complaint with Flexi on this matter has always been that I feel that Inspire was more efficent in the order that it would cut. I would also agrue the point that it will always take the same...
  16. Info needed on routing HDU

    I have been real happy with ArtCAM, I have seen some other software for designing for routers and they didn't seem near as easy to use.
  17. Info needed on routing HDU

    The software can do v grooves, just haven't gotten around to messing with it yet. And with the size of the sign, gettinga .5" upcut probably would be a good idea, hadn't though about that.
  18. Info needed on routing HDU

    Thanks for the info on the settings to start with when I do some cuts this weekend. Also, what on average do you charge for dimensional signage?? Below is what one job will kind of look like, layout isn't finished yet, and I know I forgot a number in the time, but I took home a dxf of the job...
  19. Info needed on routing HDU

    It seems that when we start doing something new, that suddenly everyone wants it. I am going to starting routering out some test pieces in HDU this weekend and wondered if anyone who is doing HDU now could tell me what range for feed rate and spindle speed you operate at? And suggestions for...
