  1. PC60 - Cleaning the head?

    These things are known for scratched heads. We replaced the print head 2 times before retiring it to a vinyl cutter ONLY. A friend of mine has a 60 and RELIGIOUSLY cleans the vinyl with alcohol before he prints. He's had his for 5 years and hasn't had to replace the print head ever, but he...
  2. wacom designing

    I think for just as a replacement for a mouse, tablets just seemed more natural to me. I wouldn't say specifically it works just for the pen tool, its another means of navigation.
  3. HP 8000 vs VersaCamm 540

    Thats funny.
  4. wacom designing

    They're really nice. I've used one, but don't own one. Tools are all still the same, but its more natural than using a mouse. Its a bit weird the first time you use it because unlike writing, you're looking at the screen rather than what you're writing on. Its on my wish list next time I...
  5. I'm not a magician

    I always thought that was funny... "just click a couple of buttons, the computer does all the work". Evidently, that must be a special keyboard, because my keyboard doesn't have those magic buttons.
  6. Fonts going SLOOOOOWWWW.....

    But that doesn't sound like your problem. "out of the blue"? Yes, definitly use font navigator. I have 12,000 fonts but only 300 installed. The more you have installed the slower the startup. So, unless you installed 400 fonts in one day, i'd say that's not your problem. I've found that...
  7. a deal too good to be true...

    Maybe it was a celebrities printer. "You are bidding on Roy Orbison's Roland SP-540V"
  8. Half now, half later

    I've been fortunate in this. All of my work is by word of mouth and 95% of my work is through businesses. I put all businesses on a net 30 and 2+ years in business have never had a delinquent customer. A couple of late payments but everyone has paid.
  9. how is this effect done in Corel12?

    Or doubleclick the polygon tool. You can set the amount of sides that you want and the depth of star pointers.
  10. want to have computer built on a budget

    If cost is your issue, I've always had success with refurbished dells. I own 4 of them. The oldest was 8 years old and I finally upgraded 2 years ago. Get the best that you can at the time. Dont' skimp on processor or ram and you shouldn't need to upgrade for at least a couple of years. I...
  11. Ever thrown anyone out of your shop?

    It's like a private club or a speakeasy. Is there a secret knock?
  12. Backing up - Let me ask you this

    You're not telling me anything new. I lost a lot of stuff years ago when I reformatted my computer. I reformatted the wrong drive (backup) and now I'm diligent about backup. I'm willing to bet that everyone has a similar story.
  13. Real fire CD?

    Yes, much better. Sharper images.
  14. Real fire CD?

    I think if you were to look into doing several on cd, you may need to spend some more money on a nice camera or tweak your existing camera settings. The problems with flames is that you're trying to shoot in low light (minus the flames) and trying to capture a fast moving object. Thus your...
  15. Insurance question

    Depends on how much work you're doing. In ohio, you can get a 1,000,000 policy for $300-$400.
  16. Lowe's Logo

    Which letter? One of those letters are doing their own thing. That S just doesn't look like it belongs
  17. Leasing?

    Hey, we're all family here. I just got an investment tip that can't go wrong. Send a couple of bones my way. :Big Laugh
  18. From Corel 9 to Corel 12

    Everytime I install corel fresh, I always goto options, turn off the snap guides, turn off type assist (if its spelt wrong, it will have a red line under it) and change the undo levels to 200. If you have a design that you're not crazy about, copy it, undo to the point where it started to go...
  19. Leasing?

    I started up my business with $4000. I bought a roland cutter an inexpensive refurbished dell and vinyl. No, lease, no debt. I worked out of my house for 3 months, rented for 2 years and now am closing on a 2400 sq ft building next week. So yes its doable. .... BUT what I had when I...
