DVD burners on all of my machines, some have 2. Laptop has a DVD-Rom only. I now have a stack of CD-R drives waiting for eBay or a garage sale. Remember when DVD-R's cost $17 each, and the drives were $300? Now you can get a spool of DVD-R's for $30 and a DVD-RW drive for about the same... Gene

Don't know if this helps or not, but I read it last night and it was fresh in my mind: http://www.beacongraphics.com/ps-twill.html Beacon is claiming the GX-24 will cut this twill. I have a GX-24 and haven't run into any problems cutting anything yet, although I haven't tried twill...

I would, based on my own personal experience, have to disagree. I too have been using Alps printers, for many years now, and have had great results with them. So naturally, for me, when I saw technology I was familiar and comfortable with in the PC-12, I made a purchase (and believe me it was...

I too thought I did my research before buying my PC-12 like 2 years ago (wish I found this site before I made that purchase). Now I have too much invested in it, and found it wasn't necessarily the best bang for my buck. I have no choice now other than making it work for me, as it would be a...

I've used these video tutorials and they are worth every penny: Also might want to take a look at these Both have been very helpful for me. Gene

I used a vacuum form (or vacu-form) machine years ago. It had a heating element on the top where you would load a sheet of what I believe was polystyrene(?). As the material heated it would start to "bubble" downward at which point you would hit the vacuum switch on the table and pull the...

Thanks Dustin, Before I weed, spray the laminate - I thought about this method too, I wasn't sure if the liquid laminate would make a "shell" going into the cut areas and "bond it back together" into a solid surface. Maybe I'm just being a knucklehead thinking about too many "what if" factors...

Thanks Doug, If I remember correctly you're printing using a Gerber Edge? I've seen the praises of Gerber, and have often wondered what the benefit/ and or quality of the prints had over that of the PC-12? I've seen the PC-12 slammed and I'm really not sure why everyone seems to hate it? Maybe...

I have a Roland PC-12 and have a job that would be ideal to finally get some use out of it. The PC-12 is a thermal print and cut system - for those not in the know. I have a question regarding the lamination of thermal prints with liquid laminate. I plan on using Clear Shield to laminate. My...

Beat me to it - windsor bold on my machine... Gene

I would adjust the blade depth on the Stika, which is done manually. I used one for years, and found this to happen when setting up/changing blades. The online manual is here. Page 31 will show you how to adjust/change the blade. Blades will often "look ok" when indeed they just aren't sharp...

It is included with with a few Windows products, here is a list of software and the fonts they come with: http://web.tampabay.rr.com/bmerkey/examples/fonts-in-MS-products.htm Gene

Here is a comparison of what I have w/ your sample - I searched my machine for a duplicate (I have too many) no such luck, sorry. I also searched for Monotype Corsiva clones to no avail. Gene

Found a website saying Monotype Corsiva = Adobe Zapf Chancery Medium Italic, I'd agree at a quick glance, but upon inspection they are different, and the example you provided is definitely Monotype Corsiva (based on the naming I have on my machine and the link above). There may be other "clones"...

Monotype Corsiva Gene

That's incredible! Trying to figure out how I can sensibly afford to make this purchase! I foresee a lot of extra stuff I have going on eBay tonight! Doug, I gotta say - that's totally awesome! Thanks for working your magic! Gene

Awesome Doug, Thanks! (even though I probably can't afford it - gives me something to save up for!) Gene

[/COLOR] In short, yes it is. Now's probably a good time to get a new one Yes, probably soon too - I have no personal experience with this happening myself, but have read about it quite a bit. If your blade is set too deep or if the blade has "gone off" the material you are...

very cool! Thanks for posting! I don't know if there is something wrong with me, but I get pretty excited when I see fonts of that caliber for FREE! Still trying to figure out which 6 I'd like to buy first off LHF - wish they had a package for all the fonts - although 134 fonts, what could...
