If you're just doing occasional small decals could you not just cut them by hand with a knife? A couple of clear coats with Frog Juice should protect them outdoors. Ken

I do sometimes use the inch scale on my squeegee to line up lines of text and would really like to have it in finer increments than 1/4 inch. So I think a real measuring tool, say down to 1/8 inch would be good. An interchangeable felt/plastic edge would be great also. I think I could do...

Hi V.D. Welcome from Beautiful BC. From your post , I think you know how to deal with this. You've already been given some great advice. Once you start low-balling that is what everyone will expect. Ken

Welcome also G.H. I would take the time to learn the software first before putting out bucks for the hardware. Photoshop is a huge program and integrating it into your print/cut flow will be quite a task. The harware will likely come down in price while you are learning to work the software. To...

Have you tried it without nudging the cut-lines.? I use Corel to create most of my files ( saved as .eps when cutting is involved) sent to colorip 2.2 and I never have a problem with the files as-is. Ken

Yes, I did forget .eps for the short list...thanks. Educating the clients is the hard part...and why do they need to know our business methods?. I want a sign..it kinda looks like this... perhaps this is the mystique that keeps us going..but as familiarity with formats increases , therefore the...

Well, whining will not get us anywhere. We try to be all-things to all people ( formats)..so what is the solution? I would suggest a limited number of formats that we readily use. If the artwork is not supplied in this format then the client MUST expect to pay extra for conversion/re-creation...

I started with a Stika 12 machine, and was pretty impressed by what that little machine could do. I still have it and will one day use it as a mobile cutter paired with a laptop. Highly portable.(transportable) I was able to cut directly from Corel 8 with it. But now you can buy a decent 24 inch...

Yep, and the biggest plunge in the stock market since 9-11 wasn't caused by China. But, Roger..you are happy with Roland machines..why not stick with that? Ken

Welcome! from Beautiful BC. Ken

Always on, do a test print at least once a week..3 days is better..keep the juice flowing... Ken

In Corel X3, try the Power Trace or just the Trace function. I recommend the Vector Doctor also. Ken

Hey Joe...where you goin' with that plotter in your hand...? Welcome to S101. Why not just start with a plotter? Do you think this venture will be a full-time business right away for you - or will you work into it? Store-front or home-based? Do you still have a day job? What experience do...

Hello from BC. Ken

Thanks Rep..didn't see that one. Still smells like paint in here...ugh.. ken

http://www.mayang.com/textures/ Check this site out for textures(backgrounds), some stock photos. Bricks, clouds, tiles, vegetation, etc. Mayang only requests recognition of his work... Ken

But...can it type? Ken I'll check it out..thanks Rep

OK Replicator - your new avatar is scaring me..yikes. On topic..I do think that a vendor (MM) on these forums should treat us as customers in their store. BUt where do you get 50 people standing around listenening to a conversation between the salesperson/customer? - On forums like this. It is...

I finally just started to try out the new trace feature in X3 just s days ago and found it to be very cool. I'll check the link... Thanks...Ken

So, stop going with the cheap pricing. Good stuff. Not sure if perfection is the right word. Red on black , makes me hack. Welcome. ken
