I usually advocate against rented software... But for $50 a month, Flexi gives you a full print and cut solution, along with a vector application some might find useful. When a good rip is $2-3000... $50 a month is great considering you get all the upgrades for free.

We have a folder for art room - Every isn't has their own folder. Real estate companies have their own, with seperate folders inside for each brokerage. Each file is listed with the sales order # first - followed by type of sign/size, then clients name. For instance... 141634 - ReMax 18x30...

Depends on what it is. Also keep in mind I'm in Canada, so our stuff is more expensive. I had to have my breaks + rotors replaced in my SUV. Cost was $1200 Canadian - I purchased new brakes + rotors for around $300 for "Premium" ones. Took me less than an hour to install all 4. Downside is, I...

You seem pretty angry, did you get a cs degree or something? ;) read my post where I said she was a tech agent. Nowhere did I say she was a system admin, or net admin. If she was, she'd be making a hell of a lot more.money. She can program a Cisco router, because becoming ccne certified is a...

Depends on what your doing. There's a difference between a sysadmin, netadmin, and a tech agent... You don't hire a technical support to setup your system. Just as you don't hire a sysadmin to setup your network... They're all different fields. My post is about fixing problems, which is what...

The $300 is for knowing how to google correctly ;) 99% of problems can be fixed with a simple google search. My sister has a job doing Tech support for a huge multi-billion dollar company. She makes $60-70 an hour... and she knows jack all about computers. Her first few months were googling how...

Even though we all veered offtopic to ram... I remembered to test! It looks like Onyx now is true multi core, not just when you open multiple files. This is opening 1 file, all 4 of the cores are used. Not all at 100% the whole time... but you can see its generally using all 4 cores, making it...

Ecc is usually a gen behind non ecc... So it has slower clock speed. It also uses more of its speed to process the ECC... So generally it's slower. Ecc is good for certain things... But for a sign shop, the premium on price isn't really worth it . If you need your computer to be on 24/7, with...

Consumer ram is non ecc generally, it's more cheap ram vs non cheap ram. I have 32gb, and always use more than 16 .I do lots of multi tasking though... I rip, do artwork, have browsers, videos, etc open . Ripping alone should use more than 4gb if your working with large files... If you do...

The best way to test is to open up task manager / resource.monitor depending on what windows your using. See how much each core is working when onyx is ripping, whether it's one... Or each is maxed, or each is doing 10-20% of the work . Most programs do only use one core - these days a lot are...

You won't print, or cut faster with a better computer. If your ripping large panels, a faster computer helps. For cutting... Opening the file will be faster also. Video card doesn't matter much unless you're doing lots of Photoshop editing on the computers. For printing... Do you find...

Go up to Some Street blades already installed, and see how they were done. You can call your local city official / dot and ask. Odds are white with green is fine though, 3m makes the 1175 just for this purpose .

Google Adobe illustrator clipping mask. Set your artwork to size... Copy the image to like 5 different layers. In layer one, make a square 53" x the height of your files. Goto move, tell it to move 52.5", tell it to "copy" instead of move... Then repeat that until you get to the end of your...

Yours is good for high volume, it's kind of like what we have. I meant the cheap $10 Olfa blade is for low volume! Out of curiousity, how much do the rollems set you back? I like the idea of crack backed stickers. Our work machine is ancient and sucks badly though so we never use it.

I used to work in a manufacturing place that decided to do all its own packaging. They spent hundreds of thousands on equipment to do that - Had to hire a few guys just to take care of packaging. Took up a ton of space... within 3 years, they sold all the equipment and went back to outsourcing...

We specialize in traffic signs, but in Canada. I believe every state in US has different regulations... but I may be wrong. Using 1177 green would work out here - You could also sheet it 3937, then diecut white... etc. Only our huge highway signs are green - Which is usually sheeted green...

Cut PSA materials with the Rollem Semi-slitting machine They're called Semi-slitting machines. Good for very low volume. Never tried it, but im actually going to purchase one now... See how well it does. seems like a good replacement for the bodyguard knife, if it works well

We order some material thats pre-slit for us when we do large quantities of screen printing. We also have a machine that does it... good for small quantities. Think of it like the graphtec - Every pinch wheel also has a rolling blade on it - You align each pinch wheel to the center / or 1/3...

I never tried on1 for masking, but it is great software. I used to use it to setup canvas's before my rip software could do it... Was quick and automatically. I also use it for resizing - I didn't know photoshops new one works good, so I may have to test it and compare. But on1 is cheap, and...
