My first cutter was a little Stika from roland that is 15". It was a great machine but really prevented me from doing larger items. I now have a 40" Panther (Graphtec rebrand from SignWarehouse) that is an awesome machine. I typically cut 24 and 30" material on it, ranging from cast 2mil...

I'm running a Nvidia Geforce 9600GT in one of my machines and an Nvidia Geforce 9800GT. Best two cards I have ever used. I have dual dvi's on my 9800 so I am currently running a 19" standard ratio monitor and a 22" widescreen monitor off of it. Matthew BlackIceFX

That sounds quite feasible... I just recently switched to CS3. When using CS2, I could open and import just fine. Lemme see if saving as a CS2 file will help any... even still, you'd think converting to a pdf would work but *shrug* Here's hoping *fingers crossed* Matthew BlackIceFX

I know that the Versacamm has a cleaning cycle it goes through but do you have to physically press and hold the power off button at the end of the day to let it enter the cleaning cycle or can you let it go into standby? (blue power button blinking) I usually let it go into standby but noticed...

I have VE LXi Master+ 7.5v5 running on my machine running my cutter. I recently haven't been able to import or open ANY files with it. I try opening AI and PDFs and I get a PDF import error. I try importing files AI, EPS, and PDF and I get a PDF import error. Any ideas? I hae a logo I need...

I have a 300v but keep in mind, you're going to be losing a bit in the photo vs just having a sample printed by a vendor... Let me know if you still want a photo... Matthew BlackIceFX Personally, up real close (i.e. less than 8 inches) the quality is slightly grainy... this is definitely NOT...

Also interested. Is it worth upgrading from an SP-300v to the VPi-540? Aside from the size upgrade, is the intelligent pass firmware addition worth the extra $$ or should I wait for the next physical upgrade like Shaun is referring to? Matthew BlackIceFX

My favorite recently when told by a satellite shop owner that he also jumped into signs. 'I didn't want to pay the ridiculous price that the sign shops were charging and figured, since there's no skill involved that I could do it. Between you and me as sign guys, you just cut and slap on the...

Yeah, it's a real winner. :banghead: Unfortunately, it's one of those 'MUST HAVE' designs that the customer won't budge on. Anyway, thanks for the link. I now have two of the three fonts. Woohoo. Now if I can get that stupid Salsa one or find someone with it... Matthew BlackIceFX

A customer came in with a (self?) designed business card and flyer that she needs printed. I don't have the fonts and would really rather not purchase these three as they aren't fonts I have ever used or needed before. Does anyone have these following fonts? I need to have someone convert all...

here's an idea... using tracing paper, hold it against the tat and trace it. Then scan that and clean... Seems pretty straightforward. At least, that's how I've reproduced tatoos. Matthew BlackIceFX

For which kind of printer? Matthew BlackIceFX

Depending on the tolerances of your table, you could fab your own. I will post more info/pics once I have mine setup. If it's successful, I'll share all info. It takes less than $200 to build the frame, the only costly part is the roller itself. Matthew BlackIceFX

I just purchased a Toshiba laptop with Vista64 bit and am wanting to install CS3 on it. Now, I know that CS3 is 32bit and that Vista will run both 32bit and 64bit programs. However, how many problems with I have installing? I know I need to redirect PS's plug-in path to the correct 32bit...

SignManiac, you're killin' me! :ROFLMAO: Matthew BlackIceFX

well, I never did find the answer to my problem. I resolved it the hard way. I whacked my pc and reformatted and reloaded everything and now it all works! Finally! It also gave me a reason to upgrade to my CS3, whee! Now I need to learn how to use it... Matthew BlackIceFX Thanks again to...

I found an HP 330 24" paper printer. Anyone know about these machines? It's selling for really cheap. Matthew BlackIceFX

Signburst, Unfortunately, I AM my computer guy... I build all my own machines. Drive is testing good, installed two other programs today. LXi is legit copy - from Signwarehouse, bundled with my 40" Panther cutter. Windows firewall, in addition to my own firewall is disabled and AV is...
