  1. Can't re-install Graphix Advantage V6.21

    I'm running 2.6 on Vista and it's working pretty good for me. I'm also running 2.5 on Windows XP. Files seem to be opening in both without any problems. One problem I do have is not being able to get the Edge running on the Vista machine. Plotters work fine, but Vista isn't recognizing The...

    Welcome from Houston, TX!!! I love the Bahamas! I was there a few years ago for 5 days and I keep trying to figure out if I could pack up all my stuff and move there for good!!

  4. OK, who f----d?

    Another Howdy from Texas!
  5. New to the Biz and Very lost

    I'm of the same feelings as you, although I've been in the sign business for 12 years. There were no forums on the internet back then and no one would help me. I am self taught and it has been a learning process. Don't let these guys/gals get you down. Look around the web for more answers...
  6. MACs and sign cutting software

    Have you looked into Gerber or Sign Wizard? I started with Gerber back in 1996 and never looked back. Of course, I started with a Gerber Edge and a HS15 plus, so I needed to have better capabilities than what other software offered. Since then, I have kept Gerber Omega current and have...
  7. Graphics rookie looking for guidance for Race car graphics

    Well, personally, I thiink he's doing the right thing. He doesn't know anything about vinyl. He will probably screw up a few times. It's called "the cost of learning". Once he gets good and fast, then he can charge competitive pricing. Why should the customer have to pay for him to...
  8. What would you charge for these yard signs?

    It's 2'x3' - charge like a banner for single side/single color. It's not much different. In my case - $6.00/sq. ft. Charge $2.00 for a stake that shouldn't cost you more than $.50 If it has a logo, add $10.00. Figure out something that you can be consistent with.
  9. Incomplete cuts

    Sounds like knife offset to me. If your plotter has a LED display, it should have offset settings in the setup somewhere. I've never seen it in the software, but it doesn't hurt to check.
  10. How to base coat MDO so it looks GOOD

    We use Matthew's paint system and spray with automotive type spray guns. We have no problem spraying yellow on a primered board. Two coats and we're done. It takes about 15 minutes of work total. The rest is dry time. You can shoot it vertically or horizontally. Just depends on how much...
