Estimate works well for us- I think it depends on the shop and what type of work you do. I would think most will shake hands with Quickbooks- it is ubiquitous. We do estimates and Invoicing thru Estimate and the actual bookkeeping in QB. Gene

Hence... the decal is more expensive than a 'sticker'.

We have two older (T750) tangential Summas and I have always loved them. We had an Edge with the enVision cutter and a Roland GX cutter, which both do the job intended, but if you want a great cut- it is tangential all the way. Gene

I would think that is the answer- Graphixshoppe does a *lot* of Edge printing

We do not leave the building. This has worked for 20 years and I see no reason to change now. If they are not interested enough to come in with pictures and talk to us... I am also not interested. I have made enough 'hard' money- time now for the easy money.

Thank You, Sir. Gene

Thank You, Gene

I am thinking we could sell these if we had them to show to people. I am Looking at the stuff at SignComp we have a good miter saw for aluminum, so probably buying bulk lengths would be best? Thanks Gene

The manager of the Staples warehouse takes armloads of our cartridges- before we switched to bulk.

ahhh- I have the needle bottle but my technique was lacking. Story of my life. Thanks Gene

I have been having a fine time cutting acrylic with my laser, but how do you do a nice job of gueing? I have bought every syringe and bottle that I can find and the Weld-on 3 always drips all over and makes thing nasty. Any suggestions? Thanks Gene

I am mystified that no one talks about cleaning the machines with this new (now not so new) head setup. I take the wiper carriage out once a month and do a good cleaning and re-install- takes about 15-20 minutes and it gets nasty in a month. The recommended maintenance is pretty minimal I think...

There was a post on this machine within the last couple weeks- and one user. Gene

List on the TrueVis is about $5k more- VS540 is close to the SP540 but a couple generations newer (better).

That Klus extrusion is an elegant solution, but kinda expensive- $60 for a meter. I have been machining my own from oak but I would love to find a ready made extrusion... perhaps not quite so elegant/$. Has anyone seen anything similar for .22 acrylic? Thanks Gene

I would add to Stacy's comments (which are right on) that the print/cut machines are not good cutters. You will not track or cut as well as a dedicated cutter. Also if you are considering a VS roland, I would mention that the RF640 is the same machine without the cutter- for a lot less money...

Bought a T750 Summa 20 years ago and it still cuts great- the T series is for tangental and is a great upgrade IMO. Also have a GX as it couples seamlessly with my Roland printers and Versaworks (and works fine)- otherwise, Summa reigns. Gene

OP ain't SHOUTIN', us old pharts just talk LOUD))))))))))))) cus we don't hear so good with our big ears. And it is called creative punctuation (and spelling) BTW :rock-n-roll:

I got the same spin when we bought a .5Gb HD for $500- a long time ago.

I would like to go on the record as being in favor of functional aging (I am working on it)... I have the functional alcoholic thing down pretty good now. Aging is my next goal. I just turned 70 (not quite as advanced as OP) and I am here at 7:00, 7 days a week having some kind of fun- currently...
