I'm with Fred. You can't go wrong with Advantage. Grand Rapids Michigan is pretty close to you too.

Theresa I look at jobs like this in another way. Your customer is providing you with minimal at best, art. Let him know that you need to purchase the font to provide him with a quality product and bill him for it. It's not a huge expense and your building up your own font library at the same...

I'm not sure what cutter your using but on my GSX plus I just pause, the cut, than manually click the vinyl over a tad and hit the run button again. Also, a carefull measurement of where your registeration target is printed in relationship to the print will save you sometimes also. I've had...

I'm not sure John but depending on how you did your arch you may have to select the graphic/type and under Object go to expand appearance and see if that works for you.

I may as well jump in here. Yep, MacImprint is an Edge driver that is an Adobe Illustrator plug in. I'm not sure what Fred is commenting about as far as set up is concerned. You need a Keyspan usb to serial adapter. Your plotter will plug straight in to your USB Hub. If it takes more that 2...

I have just printed a job with very small type on the Edge II. We're talking about maybe 6pt microgramma. With vertical lines that thin and only a 300 dpi printhead it often clips some of the copy depending on where they actually cross the printhead and you end up with thick and thin strokes...

And the Mac version of the story. http://macminute.com/2005/03/28/photoshop/

I don't know if it means anything but I just submitted a CS survey from Adobe yesterday. From the questions they put in there it didn't give the impression that the next upgrade was an immediate thing but that's purely a guess.

FYI, all of the CS products run on the 64-bit Mac G5's already. Windows should catch up eventually and I'm sure that it will work flawlessly on at least half of your pc's. Rick, there's no reason not to jump right up to CS version. You may have to back save to be compatible with some of...

Ok Joe, no real advantage huh? It's the OS! No pop ups, no viruses, no spyware. What software are you talking about anyhow. This is a graphics dept not a gaming arcade. MS Office suite is totally cross platform to. What about built in software. The mac comes with iPhoto, iDVD, iTunes, iChat...

Of course I do but I am totally biased too. I'm of the theory that the simplest answer is generally the best. Adobe Illustrator is the default file of the industry. Once again,if you add another app to the formula your importing again. If there is anything that you can't accomplish with the...

Elise, I'll place my vote firmly on the MacImprint side. You will need a USB to serial Keyspan adapter for the Fastrack if it doesn't have USB already. The Edge is also USB. One drawback at this time is MI runs in Illustrator 10 and won't work in the CS version. There is no committment from GSB...

There's another way if you have PhotoShop also. If you can make a selection of the object that you want vectorized go to the paths tab of the layers pallet. Select "make work path". Under the file menu there is an export paths to Illustrator which will take that path and make a seperate...

Rick, nice to hear from another Signpost user. I have a little tip that might apply to some user here. I have a Graphtec 5100-75. I have it plugged into my G4 using the USB connection and their own Cutting master plug in. I also have my G3 plugged into the serial port on the Graphtec. Signpost...

Well Dead, methinks you worry too much. There's no reason not to design full size in Illustrator unless you are doing semi trailers or billboards. You are dealing with vector graphics so file size is a non-issue. The cutting master plug in is wonderful in it's simplicity. I have mine set up...

I'll say it anyhow. You haven't read enough or you wouldn't even be considering one. Save up for a used Edge instead.
