  1. Getting car wax off?

    The alcohol final rinse you are using will leave a film, you should stop after the Rapid Tac.
  2. New! The Signs 101 Network Registry Is Now Open

    I can get to the registry but then what? I clicked the New Thread button there but got the same "You cannot access..." message
  3. cast or calendered on magnetics?

    Most quality magnet substrates comes with cast vinyl applied to it. Therefore you "should" use a cast vinyl for your graphics. From my experience I haven't had any problem using calendared vinyl, especially if it isn't full coverage or printed. Recently however, I have been having issues with...
  4. What To Do If A Competing Business Undercuts You In Price

    Jon, you are always such an invaluable contributor here, I wish you would start a thread and describe your professional services in some detail. I can only imagine how much value there must be in that!
  5. Omega 3.0 Autocarve 3D error

    I did see that support notice from Microsoft but I was a little leary of following that procedure without further inquiry because it was so old. I've installed SP3 on this XP OS so I wondered if that solution would still be valid. Do you think I should follow it? I do have other software...
  6. Omega 3.0 Autocarve 3D error

    I just reconfigured a computer with a new hard drive, a fresh installation of XP Pro with all updates including SP3 and a new installation of Omega 3.0/Autocarve 3D with SP1. This should be running fresh, clean and perfect, which it is except that on my first attempt to fire up my router, I...
  7. Full Bleed Problem

    That could have been anything from improper substrate preparation before installation, reaction to the clearcoat (what was it?), heavy/uncured ink issue, fingerprints and/or handling of the vinyl during installation, shrinking of the vinyl, or countless other factors. There's really no telling...
  8. I hate asking dumb questions, but can I cut marble on my router?

    I don't know for sure but I would definately not consider cutting marble on your router, certainly not without ample reasearch first.
  9. Font ID please

    Is it really all jagged like that or is it just that bad of an image?
  10. Hard Knocks bar sign

    I think it looks fantastic as it is, what a perfect candidate for a dimensional sign. I can't imagine not incorporating the name of the place in this though...maybe in the headband or below the School of Hard Knocks slogan?
  11. hating Vista (64) all over again...

    I knew that would get you all riled up.... Doug, I'm glad you're back in business. I just spent the last week rebuilding a couple of computers and rebuilding my entire network. It's an unfortunate neccessity these days that in order to be a creative sign artist/craftsman you first need to be...
  12. Question from the Edge

    Good for you and thanks for the follow up report!
  13. hating Vista (64) all over again...

    Personally, I think that is a really bad recommendation, about the equivalent of telling someone with any type of problem that the universal solution is just to reformat their hard drive or that all these new versions are no good you should just stick with Windows 3.1. I think Windows updates...
  14. Greetings from Mike Jackson

    Hi Mike! How exciting to see you here, you are really rounding out the slate of industry leaders that are making up the membership here now, it's truly a pleasure to welcome you!
  15. How much printing will a set of inks do?

    Quick thoughts...you'll want to gauge your inventory of ink based on your actual usage because the ink has a fairly short shelf life and you don't want an excessive inventory sitting on the shelf. Based on your $22,000 sub-out, you will not be printing tremendous quantity so don't overstock just...
  16. Omega output to envision plotter

    I also let the software make the proper selections and have never encountered a problem.
  17. Envision 375 Plotter Target Calibration

    OK, so bcpop you had the ticket...I downloaded the latest firmware upgrade Version H, installed it, recalibrated my plotter with the standard calibration test and now....Perfect! I did place a call to Gerber Service to work with them to resolve this too, and they confimed that procedure and...
  18. Envision 375 Plotter Target Calibration

    OK, well I hit enter and it says: G.4/F.2/E.0/G _Foreign_> Ver G.0 Is that it?
  19. Thoughts on a Mimaki CVJ30-130

    Personally, I have no idea why they came out with this model. I couldn't even imagine having a printer and cutter combo in one machine. I am always, always printing and cutting at the same time and my productivity would be cut in half. Also, there is no place you want cleaner than your print...
  20. Envision 375 Plotter Target Calibration

    OK, well I checked and I don't have any older SPL files. I downloaded and installed the Omega 3.0SP1 update and I see the enVision_RevH.zip update, which I have not yet downloaded or installed because it says: This file contains the latest firmware (Rev H) for the enVision series plotters...
