Ok, here's a message from the other side of the coin. I like my machines big, heavy and bulletproof. I also like having to hit up the manual or instructions only occasionally.. I like being able to run something passably the first time. I do not have a spare year to invest and although Ike from...

VERY pleased. At least you should be. Creating useful contour cuts on bitmaps is trying at first, but becomes much easier and doing it from a Flexi-created or other vector image is downright simple. Watch your registration. I've found on long multiple runs of decals that it can vary up to 1/16"...

I run multitudes of externals. Keep my main drive(s) for programs and externals for finished work. Works well. I use CCleaner as well (just google it)... does the same as those other programs, deep temp file cleans as well as registry cleans. I'm gonna try that Cache Cleaner myself... I find...

as always, excellent information. Sign boy, that style might wind up working more efficiently for me, since I do most of my design work (that I need to lay contour cuts on) in Photoshop.... thanks everybody, very helpful as always. Hope this thread can help others out as well.

I've played with all the settings... when I'm creating contour cuts from bitmaps, I invariably get complicated outlines... which makes my contours either needlessly complex or so jagged that they come out ugly. This doesn't happen every time, but when it does I try the "reduce points" tool...

Sure, just put your arm over these two cinder blocks....

What kind of power regulation are you using between wall socket and printer? If it's a CB issue (meaning re-starts by itself) then there's something else happening that's tripping it. Not a safe situation. Personally, I would not use it again until I was sure of my power supply.. that way you...

Ethernet. No problems so far (going on 2 years running one *knock knock*). I love the thing. Frank, have you ever owned a Mutoh? Normally price is a pretty deciding factor on quality, but here I have to disagree. I think the question here is who he bought it from. Buy a tool from Wal-Mart, then...

Have to agree there. Without that, we'd just be blowing smoke up.... well, you get the picture. With the honesty everyone shows, even though it can seem abrasive it's the best way to learn.

Why do you think the chips are there? There's big litigation on the desktop printer end going on due to this "factory ink" bullshit they try to pull. Legally, they have to make their units to use third-party inks as long as they are up to a certain standard. Making the chips self-flashing is...

Great. Hoped I'd never run into this but yep... got a "not original" message. Funny thing being, there's no marking on the chip and it's about 25% full (checked it last night). When I powered up I got that BS message about not original. Took it out, replaced it a couple times, no help. This is...

You really want the prints to dry for at least an hour before they come in contact. I have a 1604 as well and I have my printer/plotter set up paralell about 3 feet from one another (19'x19' shop... you figure it out). So when I run prints over 8 ft or so I watch the print until it's able to...

That's a nice sign, but seriously? BIG WOOD FARMS? OMG. Can you get fresh-squeezed man-juice from their market? That's great.

Sorry to put a bit of damper on this, but Tattoo is spelled incorrectly. Also, I have been using the phrase "tattoos for your ride" with my business name ( it is registered as such ) for over eight years now, so that's another issue. Truck looks good, though.

Yeah, well truisms are one thing. Experience is another. I need to get one of these to keep some customers happy, not to add a line to my products. So I was looking for someone with some experience with that particular machine. I am going to use this thing six or seven times a year. Would you...

I have been looking since I opened my shop, now I have three or four of my best customers who want short-run color apparel.... I need to be able to set them up and I'm not buying a DTG for four dozen shirts a year.... any suggestions on what brands to avoid? one of my suppliers sells a...

boat name on a 34' Fountain powerboat.

THANK YOU!!! In fact I had actually figured it out and was coming back to my post to answer my own question. Oh well. Thanks so much, though. I find I dive into these complex programs and only figure out what I need on a day-to-day.. then I get complacent and then pissed when a question comes up...
