  1. 3D printing signs

    I make a lot of signs, 60+ hours per week at least. I make 3D Printers also, and we do a decent amount of 3d prototyping. I have yet to have a need for anything for a sign to be 3d printed, but I could see possibly doing some trophies if you were in that market. otherwise, a router will run...
  2. Installation issue!

    I think the windows driver may be corrupt , as when I try to update the driver and replace the generic USB driver with one of the drivers from the disk or the Rainbow Technologies directory in Windows the computer reboots! Help!
  3. Installation issue!

    I was trying to do a fresh install of Omega on a "new" computer. Windows XP, home edition, 2002 edition, SP2 Omega 1.56, USB dongle I installed the Rainbow Sentinal Driver, and accidentally left the key installed... Now when I go on to the Install Omega it says it cannot find the key. I did not...
  4. Gs15?

    Thank you! The one I just received has a non-swivel knife installed; I guess they were using it wrong! It does cut the whole 13.5" width though, correct?
  5. Gs15?

    Is there a difference between the GS15 and the GS15plus? I know there is a difference in the HS15 and the HS15plus.
  6. What's going on over at Advantage?

    Mimaki has MAJOR problems right now, and Advantage is probably not helping them much either, and I don't really blame them. Honestly there is probably not a bright future for Mimaki anytime soon. If your Advantage reps are anything like ours they never miss a week to promote the latest HP latex...
  7. Cutting Master 2

    It's been a few years, but I think when we had the issue we had to upgrade the firmware on the plotter. Then you have to make sure it is set to the right language setting. (I think we set it to auto?)
  8. Lighted Pan Face Help, Please

    My suggestion (how I do it): 1 - Measure the pans & make a template 2 - Draw up proof 3 - Call up Hendricks Vacuum Forming and have them quote 4 - send approved artwork to Hendricks 5 - Install new pans 6 - profit
  9. Latest edge lit project...

    Care to make a tutorial on how to do this? I've never tried edge lighting and this looks like a great new product to sell!
  10. Gerber Edge Cleaning?

    I usually clean with the gerber cleaning wipes which are saturated with 99% ISO Alcohol. However I was going to be doing some DEEP cleaning this weekend and wanted to grab some extra alcohol to use the same swab a couple times to clear up some dead pixels. So, would it be better to stick with...
  11. 3" chevron 3m?

    Are you looking for 3" diamond grade 3m striping? I don't think they make it. NFPA regulations state 6" striping if you aren't familiar with NFPA regulations go look them up. We use a lot of Reflexite (Oracal) striping and the guys here like cutting/installing it a whole lot better than the...
  12. Getting the most out of an Edge 2/Envision

    The only real difference I have seen between the two modes is usually that the 300x600 prints darker. Sometimes this is good, but other times it isn't. Otherwise, the new setup should be a bit more dependable but don't retire your old printer/plotter just yet - here one printer prints better and...
  13. Ever seen this church art?

    Awesome, that'll do!
  14. Ever seen this church art?

    Working on a sign for a (small) church, and can't say I've ever seen this artwork before. Yet, I am hard pressed to believe that it wasn't borrowed from somewhere else. (it is just paired with some Papyrus script) Anyone here ever seen it or anything close? A Google image search turns up nothing.
  15. Specks in solid print on reflective

    Bad roll, we get one every 6 months or so. Sometimes it will run fine on our Edge 1, but the Edge LE always shows the speckles if the roll is bad. I have never tried heating it up to run it, and the supplier always takes it back for us and replaces it.
  16. Vector Logo Locating

    I know this is an old thread, but just thought I would share my preferred new method of extracting art from a password protected PDF file. FoxIT PDF reader is free and will open a password protected PDF and allow you to print it to another PDF file (which isn't password protected). You can then...
  17. Increasing business

    Try getting into some of the local business networking groups. Join the Chamber of Commerce, join your local BNI group. Seriously, even through it seems like a decent chunk of up-front change and a large time investment; once they get to know and trust you the referrals will start pouring in...
  18. Good Source for Fire Dept Crest Vectors?

    I would be willing to bet that their Maltese cross is either very standard or very unique. if it is just standard clip-art then you might find it, but it seems that it is pretty much one extreme or the other with FD graphics.
  19. Anyone else been extorted?

    It is more of a virus that hacks the whole network. They send you a VERY realistic looking email or you click on a link somewhere that looks legit and that's all it takes. It encrypts EVERYTHING on your network, even most backups. Step 1 is to shut everything down to stop the spread further. Any...
  20. Anyone else been extorted?

    We got that virus here, but our tech/backup company saved our butts. If you don't have a current company you're working with, try giving them a call for help. Glenn Warner @ ACSDR.com 859-816-2666 By the way, there is NO chance that they're going to un-encrypt the files once they have your money.
