  1. Estimating Vinyl Cut Time

    You're worried about the wrong things. The exact time required to cut an image is functionally meaningless. Worse, it implies that you plan on pricing each and every job individually and not apply a reasonable generalized algorithm. That way lies madness. You should price your work generally...
  2. Looking for opinions...............................

    That's pretty good. I should think it would be better if the stylized owl looked a bit less like something that just fell off a totem pole. But still nice. Just print the whole thing on metallic silver and, as if by magic, instant candy apple. You might want to diddle the colors a bit since...
  3. What's in a name?

    Anytime someone asks me what I do is a situation, like yours, where they don't really care, it's just conversation, I try to emulate the title character in "Fletch" and always answer with something different each time. My responses have thus far varied through 'Coal Smuggler', 'Shepard'...
  4. carriage moves over cut path, but no cutting

    When was the last time you cleaned the dust and crap out of the blade positioning mechanism with special attention to the up/down cylinder? Most of the time not cutting here and there is because of dust buildup in this area. Remove the dust cover and blow it out with clean air. DO NOT...
  5. Font Id please

    Hint: When you're dealing with some unknown Roman typeface just pick something like it. Just pay minimal attention to the serif and letter shapes. In this case pick something with square serifs, the same serif treatment on the 'S', and roughly the same shape on the leg of the 'R'. No one will...
  6. give feed back on new logo

    Passable if you were opening a tattoo parlor, dreadful for a sign shop. Try again.
  7. Looking for opinions...............................

    Yessir an owl, especially one that looks pretty much like most any other bird of prey, swooping down in some unsuspecting furry creature makes me think of signs. You might want to try for some image that convey signs and not just 'wise'. This one does neither.
  8. Conductive foil?

    Contemplating doing our own printed circuits are we? Might have some interesting applications. Now, if you could get printable LEDs to complement the conductive foil as well as a media to which you could solder... the mind boggles.
  9. Fred, are you going to allow this?

    ..and then... Just so you know it's 'manners' not 'manors'. There are a number of things in life, this being one of them, where there are many valid reasons to do or not to do something, be it wear a helmet will riding a motorcycle, have an abortion, or deal with your pets intelligently...
  10. People wanting scraps

    If you want give it away, then give it away. But don't rationalize your choice as some sort of environmental heroism. Eventually the stuff's going to end up in exactly the same place had you toted it off yourself, the local landfill. Just a little later. Even if it didn't end up in the...
  11. Profiles for Plain Paper on a Mutoh 1204?

    Just try it with whatever your favorite profile might be. If the stuff's printable then it will print. If it's not then it won't. For coated paper I use my standard trusty Oracal 3651G profile on my 1204. I have a version of this profile with the ink levels dialed back a little which works a...
  12. Bubbles

    So? apply the strip and then apply whatever you have on top of it. It's not rocket surgery. Pay no attention to the do it wet or do it dry crowd. Do it however you are comfortable. If that would be wet then try to advance beyond that stage in your development sometime soon. Bubbles? Bubbles...
  13. ESP? this happens quite often for me

    I hate to slap you with a cold dose of reality but coincidences are indeed coincidences. How many time have your thought of some one you haven't had contact with for ages, the phone rings, and it's not them. No one ever remembers that. You only remember the the hits, never the misses. Let's say...
  14. The Gentle giant and his invention changed the world 54 years ago TODAY!

    Not taking anything away from the winner, merely calling into question your dubious statement that all of the technology that surrounds everyone would not exist had it not been for this particular winner.
  15. The Gentle giant and his invention changed the world 54 years ago TODAY!

    Unknowable. He wasn't working in a vacuum, he just did it first. Had he not, most likely whomever was in second place would have done the very same thing. Functionally if not exactly. Miniaturization is but a feature of semiconductors, not the thing itself. Even at that time it was widely...
  16. Some Old English Font

    Noe a font, just some black letter text someone sketched on some material an then cut it out. Not a very good job at that, the sizes and consistency of the individual letters are all over the place.
  17. Can anyone me understand this?

    Call them back, tell them either fix it immediately or send you another. Tell them if they don't comply there will be lawyers and much ugliness. If they respond that they don't have the proper authority, demand to be connected to someone that does. Right now, no return calls, but right now...
  18. Now this was funny, no matter who you are........................

    Most all humor, with the notable exception of the pun, shudder, is based on something unpleasant, usually involving a biological impossibility, happening to someone else. Observing a couple of beings attempting to communicate, unsuccessfully of course, has all the makings of hilarity for the...
  19. Computer: always on or shut down each day?

    Couldn't say, but I do know that there is zero wear and tear when the thing is turned off. Should be six of one except perhaps that a hard shutdown won't offer you the chance to save any work, depending.
  20. Canvas Frames?

    The system show in the above mentioned video is hideously expensive, relative to plain old vanilla stretcher bars, and designed to appeal to the hopelessly inept and/or those lacking the basic tool set necessary to do the job properly. Assuming you're equipped with a staple gun, air is best...
