  1. Extreme Makeover - The Entries

    Naturally, I have to agree. Took me about 5 refreshes to get it all to load. Hard decision. Are these all within budget? Perhaps that should have been part of the exercise. ie: some have provided details of methodology and firm price quote. Next time...I think that will really help fine...
  2. Halftones and visual effects

    Thanks Vid and Brian. Cheers! Ken
  3. Whats a cheap, but good printer?

    Good, cheap, fast. Pick any two. Cutting corners here is not your best bet. You might want to keep your eye open for a gently used machine. Ken
  4. Extreme Makeover - The Contest!

    Yep, I feel the same, but it's great to be in the same race... Ken
  5. Xposition Alarm???? Graphtec

    It causes me a little concern 'cause I'm real close to ordering a graphtec cutter. I originally thought I'd go with the Ce5000, then had read how the FC series are much superior. I can understand how a high speed cut config might cause some feeding errors, but I thought the FC was a high...

  8. Firmware upgrade sp300...

    Thanks Terry. I'm also trying to replace the flex cable at the same time, but they sent me the wrong parts. So, hopefully that will be here early this coming week. When you did the firmware upgrade, was there much in the way of the printhead moving back and forth across the machine? Right now...

    Hey Vid, that is impressive. In X3, how do you do a vector shape blend? Thanks...Ken

  11. Firmware upgrade sp300...

    I was searching on the Roland site and could not locate the firmware upgrade after installing the new replacement pump. I think it is called peck4.exe Anyone? Thanks. Ken
  12. Greetings To All and Happy to Have Found this Forum...

    Welcome from Beautiful BC. Ken
  13. hello to all

    Hello Heather from the other side of the world.! Beautiful BC, Canada. My advice,is to forget the Stika machines and go to a 24 inch plotter, such as Graphtec, Roland, Summa. I quickly out-grew the Stika machine. You have some previous knowledge and will find a tiny cutter like the Stika to...
  14. Creating Templates

    Yes, I would typically take a high resolution digital photo of the subject. When taking the picture, you need to make sure that you are perfectly "square" or "flat" to the subject to prevent distortion of the image. You also need to avoid reflections from the lighting. You also need the best...
  15. What The Font!??

    Thanks Fred I see what you mean by the "B" being opened up. But the serifs are not rounded, the corners of the seirfis have been cut at a 45 degree angle. But, once again, I am impressed with your knowledge on this topic. I guess it's that idea ,that if you change it 5%, you call it your own...

  17. What The Font!??

    I have a client that wants to have some decals made for his truck. It includes graphics and a font. (Bookman Old Style). He had the layout done at another shop, and since I did them a favour by turning over one of my files to do embroidery on shirts for a different client - They're returning the...
  18. This may be one of the "Noobiest" questions ever asked ;-)

    The Cutting Master also supports Illustrator, if that is more to your liking. Vista? Don't think I'll be switching to that anytime soon. Ken
  19. Saying Hi!

    Hi. Welcome. So where is Cusseta and what is your name? Cheers! Ken
  20. This may be one of the "Noobiest" questions ever asked ;-)

    Well, I'm right behind you on ordering one of those.( Gotta go and count the money under the bed...) But I am hoping to just use corel and use the included bridge program.(Cutting Master Plug-in) for my output. Cheers! Ken
