  1. Can I run a 25 foot serial cable to my cutter?

    Yes (too long), if your cutter has a smaller buffer. The penalty for a cable that's too long is data-loss; it'll cut normally and then go wacky, ruining the vinyl. If 6' works great, buy a small table and keep your cutting station close. Or go long and buy extra vinyl since some will get...
  2. Graphtec FC8000 purchase? perf cut

    Graphtec's ARMS should and does function similarly. Ironically, only the newer Summa OPOS X uses the white-light sensors that Graphtec used from the beginning. The earlier red light sensors Summa used were fine with their thermal transfer printers (no lamination) but for inkjet they were...
  3. Graphtec FC8000 purchase? perf cut

    Hi tsgstl, Perf-cutting is pretty easy, since it's just like normal cutting, but in a different mode. The only tweaking, which is easy to get the hang of, is pressure and depth depending on what you're cutting through. Also, the frequency, aka size of the perfs and distance between them, is...

  5. Know of a font similar to what the Texas Rangers use?

    Are you trying to reproduce the logo or typeset matching fonts? If it's the logo you're after, sometimes searching "PDF" at their Web site finds a vector version somewhere within their site. Often sports teams will bitmap them in online docs, but not always (wink wink)

    I understand and respect your decision. Thank you for your business and best wishes for greener pastures ahead. Respectfully,
  7. I'm done with Signwarehouse

    Thank you, Coloradosigns. That's a very nice compliment. And I'm sorry to hear that you've not been completely satisfied when speaking with our phone reps. That's a big part of why I am here. So if you, or anyone, ever feel you've been given short shrift when dealing with SignWarehouse, do...
  8. I'm done with Signwarehouse

    Hi SummitSigns, Everyone makes mistakes, me daily. Perhaps the person you spoke with on the phone overlooked printing and sending an invoice. Maybe it's mailing when the backorder releases. I merely guess. But as a rule, packages are shipped with packing slips, and not invoices, which mail...
  9. Hello from Houston, TX

    Hey howdy from North Central TX!
  10. software

    With the DC products, you'll want to download ColorControl. It's essentially a Postscript RIP, which includes print-and-cut, which when last I was familiar with ColorControl, it assumed the boxes on the corners are reg-marks and that the remaining vectors are cut-lines. But it may, and is...
  11. Vinyl Express III 72" eco solvent

    Oops! That. It's a ripoff of our brand: Vinyl Express(r). The printer is likely a reverse engineered product (buy Japanese printer, tear apart, and "copy" with cheesy internals, cheaper externals, that are kinda "styled" in a way that looks remarkably like a Japanese printer ... :^)
  12. Vinyl Express III 72" eco solvent

    Sorry, I cannot "publish" that info, in re: Mutoh printers. Agreements usually include such language :^) Call 800.699.5512 and ask to speak with printer sales. They can answer more questions than I can, including what deals du jour are being handed down from the sales director. Glad you like...
  13. Vinyl Express III 72" eco solvent

    We can to a very significant degree, I believe, given the profound cultural differences I've experienced. In China, the driving force in manufacture is cost containment. They'll add better parts, if strongly insisted upon, but with what feels like a degree of disbelief. They simply do not...
  14. Vinyl Express III 72" eco solvent

    Mutoh makes a great EcoSol printer, many of which we sell under our Vinyl Express brand, which is registered trademark. The Chinese have little regard for trademarks, registered or otherwise ... but maybe Fred can help us out here if it's being infringed. Thousands of folks can attest to the...

  16. Mutoh-made PrismJet VJ48 from SignWarehouse

    Thank you for the kind words, @thevwsignguy! We work hard to support our customers, and while it created some glitches last month due to a switch in our computer system to a new Cloud-based solution, the investment is paying off. We're even more efficient, now, and we'll continue to invest...
  17. Vinyl For Cloth Duffel Type Bags??

    If you have the volume requirements, then YES! Screen-printing would be your best option. But make-ready (burning screens) is pretty expensive on lower quantities ... lower being 50 or fewer, roughly. Jim Doggett SignWarehouse
  18. Vinyl For Cloth Duffel Type Bags??

    It's not vinyl, but yes, there are printable transfer films. :-) You're good to go. Call our folks and they can explain the process in detail: 800 699 5514. Thanks! Jim Doggett SignWarehouse
  19. Vinyl For Cloth Duffel Type Bags??

    No vinyl, but heat-applied apparel marking films, which are cuttable like vinyl, would work. Check out apparel graphics at our Web site ( www.signwarehouse.com ) to see style and color options. Best, Jim Doggett SignWarehouse
