  1. Royalty Free Artwork Subscription For Reasonable Pricing.

    I havent delved into the designing part of business yet... usually just use customer artwork. But how about Free stock photos · Pexels ? Not the best selection, but everything is free for personal/commercial use.
  2. Plotter Info?

    I didn't mean offence, just surprised you've been here 8 years and this is your first post - That's some great lurking skills. (Which there is nothing wrong with). You should provide us with more information though. What will you be cutting? How accurate does it need to be? If you're cutting...
  3. About Subscription Software...

    People aren't "squabbling" about the cost of your program, they're telling you they don't like subscription software... Which is the whole point of this thread you made, to get their opinions?! Some people go to your competitors, some people use Corel or illustrator and then hand fix the...
  4. About Subscription Software...

    Nope. They do have a $8 a month web option... But I use the desktop version. Think it was like $300 or something
  5. About Subscription Software...

    I stand corrected. Looks like Congress passed a bill to amend the dmca so its illegal to circumvent drm. Legal to make a copy of software you own, such as a Blu-ray as a backup..m but illegal to make said copy because you need to bypass drm to do it... Good old government. You can always...
  6. About Subscription Software...

    I can run windows 95 programs for the most part, even on windows 10. Compatibility mode isn't always perfect... But for everything aside from drivers, it's worked for me when windows 10 was giving me problems. Yes, some software has DRM. But legally you're allowed to circumvent it! If I paid...
  7. About Subscription Software...

    Not sure, I'll have to check when I get home! It should be he newest version since I bought it recently. I didn't see any release notes on the site.. I was actually trying to find out when the last update was. It does everything I need it to... So I honestly don't care if they ever update it...
  8. About Subscription Software...

    Symatics. I own the right to use the product forever. They can't take that away from me - they can't disable my license, or remove it. I'm paying to use the software from the day I buy it, to the day I die... In that sense I do own it. This is the digital age. Any car purchased in the last 10...
  9. About Subscription Software...

    To add on to what everyone else is saying... Subscription based software is like an investment. You're telling us your updates are going to be worth xx per month... But that doesn't mean to us they are worth that. You can work 10 hours a day, or 10 minutes a day, we have no control over it...
  10. Plotter Info?

    2x Cricut explorers right next to each other. I like how you're an 8 year old member, and this is your first post... ;) What are you using it for? how much use will it get? Whats your budget?
  11. Need Help Printing with HP Latex 560

    Which reflective? I've printed on 3M 3290, and on 8518 with my Latex 110. The 8518 I used the downloaded profile for IJ8150. For 3290, I used IJ680 profile. They both looked ok, though I think creating their own media would have worked better. If it's curling up, the temp might be set too...
  12. Cutting long strips. Any tips?

    You should be able to find it locally from any metal shop. I just googled "Flat metal bar" and thats the first site that came up. I'd go with something harder than aluminum, as it knicks easy. We have a steel one I believe... We do a lot of welding / etc, so we get them in 30 ft length, our...
  13. Cutting long strips. Any tips?

    You could get a vinyl cutter... if you don't have one, it'd also open your business up to other ventures. Throw some cropmarks on it, and it'll cut it pretty straight. We use something like this - 6061 Aluminum Flat - MetalsDepot&reg 15 FT. Crop marks not just at the ends, but midway in...
  14. Flexi on hp latex vs onyx

    I find at least with our solvent printer, certain colors don't profile too well. Of course just making a profile helps a huge amount... But most of our greys looked like crap, even with a profile. We had to change Start/Max black, Start/Max Grey, and gray generation, etc to get them to be...
  15. Flexi on hp latex vs onyx

    I just upgraded to cloud to try it. And your description is bang on... It feels like it's mainly a sign software, with a very basic rip thrown in. Are you unable to edit the image via production manager? In onyx I can quickly Crop an image. Took me awhile to figure out color replacer...it's a...
  16. Flexi on hp latex vs onyx

    Does the 360 ONLY do onboard profiling? Theres a lot of advanced settings in onyx... and I like the idea of the onboard profiling, but I always presumed it was just like a built in specto, that it still fed the data back to onyx and allowed you to tweak it.
  17. Flexi on hp latex vs onyx

    Lets put it another perspective. How do you find the design aspect of it? We use illustrator for everything (And photoshop). I can't see a rips design being as good as adobe products. Does it have any benefits compared to adobe, other than free? I'll try flexi cloud tonight and give a more...
  18. Flexi on hp latex vs onyx

    Flexi, from what I've heard, does true cut nesting. So it'll nest and save material - Where as onyx nests by bounding boxes. So you'll save some material with flexi... Personally I don't see the benefit. Material isn't THAT expensive, and if your stuff is too close, weeding might be a pain, or...
  19. Flexi on hp latex vs onyx

    Are you running 12.2? The newer onyx's are adding features to make it less clicks. With custom quickserts, 90% of our workload is done by clicking one thing. Same with Flexi, though. Onyx is adding more options / etc so you don't need to go into job editor... It's getting better. As for which...
  20. Flexi on hp latex vs onyx

    I'm using flexi on my Latex because it came with it (Home machine) At work, I use onyx. At first I presumed flexi wasn't as good because I use onyx 8 hours a day at work, and I'm still learning flexi. A few months later, and I still hate flexi. Onyx is more polished, better laid out, it just...
