Cliff, Hello from a sister flatstock screen/digital shop in Michigan!

Welcome from 140 miles to your north, TC.

NOt sure what to say there. My dongle shows up in the Mac Sys profiler as all of the USB attachments do. There should be nothing on the Mac side of things that hijacks the dongle though. I just re-read you post and you said Parallels AND Bootcamp. Which one are you running? Have you tried...

I got replacements at my local NAPA store for a bit over $20 each. Unfortunately, I can't see any number label on them. Do a search here and on 4Edgetalk and you'll find the info needed.

Just try Graphtec's Cutting Master plug if first. It's free for pete's sake and it works just fine. I've been using it on my old G4 for 5 years or so and have a new copy on my MacPro 266 quad. The only thing I'd check on is it might not be updated to CS3 yet but I know it works fine on CS2.

I'm running a dongle'd RIP on my MacPro also. It is a USB key and usually it's fine. There are times that I have to restart windows and parallels to find it. If that doesn't work you have to go into the control panels and find the USB stuff and let windows troubleshoot it. It can be very...

Good idea on the outsourcing. Still, 24" is sufficient for most vinyl jobs but not so if you are going to be cutting your large stuff. The price difference may make it a smarter choice to get what you will need now instead of selling and replacing later. I sold my three year old Graphtec 30"...

Graphtec plotters come with an Illustrator plug in called Cutting Master for the Mac. Also for Corel on the pc. I'm not sure why your considering a 15" plotter and talking about doing wraps. If that's really your target plan you better up your investment big time. Printer, laminator, plotter...

rockz, I printed $1,200 worth of reverse printed lexan equipment decals this week alone. . . . and I made $400 yesterday afternoon on a rush order for 3 - 3'x2' prints on coro off my HP9000s. They both have their unique capabilities. Your rant was mostly hot air. I don't even own Omega, I'm...

Welcome from Traverse City! Originating from West Bloomfield however. About a mile away from the Commerce Drive-In. Of course, if you're not an old fart you wouldn't remember that. ;-)

The Mac version of PosterJet is on it's way, . . .at least that's what they tell me. I don't think that Mutoh is a supported printer but I don't know as yet. I'm running the windows version of PosterJet on my MacPro via Parallels at the moment. It was a bit quirky to set up the connections and I...

There's also a "past remembers layers" option on the layers pallet.

Place two small squares in your file and cut them with both your red and your yellow vinyl. Weed and mast them both and hand cut right through whatever is the second color. Apply the first color, light up the "holes" with the already applied squares and apply the second color. Peel off the...

Bag Flexi and get the Adobe CS3 package. In my humble opinion. You're probably going to need PhotoShop and Illy anyhow. Why learn two different workflow's and the major expense of Flexi? Graphtec has an Illustrator plug in also. Not positive if it's updated to CS3 yet however. CS2, yes.

Three Macs. Am running Parallels on the MacPro, windoz XP for the PosterJet RIP. Mac version almost done. REALLY looking forward to not looking at that ugly green pasture ever again.

You don't need special foils but you need special vinyl in this case. Gerber's Deluxe Chrome is the way to go here.

That kinda sucks Matt. Graphtec has always had an Mac/Illustrator plug in for their plotters which has been nice. I'm running my Edge and GSx Plus through MacImprint yet although Gerber has no plans to update that wonderful piece of software. Keeping one Mac on Illy 10 just for that. Just is an...

Welcome Terry. Always room for another Mac head. ;-)

I have a Nikon 8800. It's an 8MP and a 10X optical zoom. It's a high end point and shoot. I'm thinking about selling it. My heart is in macro stuff and it's just not as easy as the old Nikon 990. Time to move to an DSLR and a dedicated lens I think.

Mike, You CAN print on pre-treated vinyl with those printers. It costs much more that "regular" vinyl that you could use with a solvent printer. It would also be a temporary decal. Even with lamination you may get a year out of it outdoors. Guess it depends on what you are trying to market as a...
