The only truly reliable RAID is SCSI, not SATA. SATA has made huge strides over the last couple of years but there is no comparison in reliability and speed. As a matter of fact, RAIDs can be a liability, should there be a problem AND is not for the person that does not "know" or wish to pay the...

ThreePutt, We are going to have agree with Techman on this one. If you were to approach us with your situation, thnis is the response you would have recieved: "Add an additional 250GB hard drive, AND external HDD OR add a permanent backup drive - not even a tape, as they are expensive per...

.....and then come the graduations, the dorm or apartment rents, car repairs (away from home of course)...oh yes, then come the weddings - and it still is not over! Come on, give it up! You will never be able to retire and do "signs", until you are 70! :Big Laugh :Big Laugh :Big Laugh :Big...

They both sell them on Ebay. I can say that we have never bought from Ordway (only because of their location) but I can also say that we have spoken to them on numerous occasions and I would not have any issues dealing with them - they seem like very decent people. The Graphicut should be a...

You already know that there are plotters from a few hundred on up. What is your budget? It will be easier for someone to direct you. Please don't say as cheap as possible - we already know that. As for which company to deal with - call Ordway. They seem to be very decent people and straight...

The truth about lightning is that it will jump across something, in its search to get to ground. Surge suppressors are nothing but fuses and UPS' are nothing batteries and inverters. Just picture a welder. If a welder had the same amount of "juice" that lightning had, you would be able to...

In a proper location, for the product and/or service offered, the added overhead is small - as compared to the added revenues. Also, still agreeing with Doug, a good part of a business' value does entail property and/or leases. On the other hand, as in Arlo's situation, it sounds as if he has...

Yes, the video card has the "port" on it. As for the $80, that was once a very cheap price, but not any longer. My card is a dual-out 256mb, and it cost $125. The "dual out" is for when I do get an LCD, my CRT is going to be used as a TV, unless I get off the money and get to 2 LCD's, for...

Colin, Tech may be able to elaborate more than I but basically all signals are natively DVI, and the VGA is a conversion. DVI signal >>>> VGA card >>>>> VGA Monitor DVI signal >>>> DVI card >>>>>conversion>>>>>VGA monitor I hope I am explaining clearly. The Samsung is one of the best...

....but keep in mind that the printer has a motor that runs the head. You should be able to see what the "wattage" requirements are, or what the amps are.

JM, Common belief is "yes", it does help. No guarantees. I have seen lightning do crazy things. I have lost a lot due to power and lightning. The biggest advantage (of a UPS) is that you will always keep "good" power levels - WHICH truly is the reason of most electrical failure. Bottom...

There is a patch for 9, that if I remember correctly, addresses this. The others are correct; Tools>options>>document>rulers - and it should stay there.

You are not doing anything wrong. This is a common problem. The calibration is off - somewhere. How long have you had you printer? Did you ever get the monitor calibrated? Do you know how to set the "proof setup" in Photoshop? Whatever you do, do not try and fool with any of the actual icc...

Welcome optmgfx! In regards to printing, it sounds as of you have no large "call" for it - yet. If that is the case, sub the printwork until you build the business. That way you are assured that it is profitable, any time you sell it. You would be suprised at the money you can make without...

joy joy joy. Tip: Send to Eric at the Vector Doctor. Believe me, it will save you tons, if your time is worth anything to you. Just pass on the cost to the customer, they usually have no problem.

Century Graphics is very big at the screen printed game, as well as M&S Signs. Both in Orlando. No way to touch them with vinyl. This also does not take into account all of the newbie screen printers that try the $150 per 100 coros, 1 color. They figure that they have/had $50 into it, so $100...

He was trying to get screen-print pricing from a vinyl shop. Believe me, no loss, because there was never a chance. Vectorizing takes a very long time to learn, regardless. There is no "easy way". Low res images CAN be impossible, not hard, but impossible. For future ref., look at the...

Lance, There are a few good imaging packages out there. It seems that Symantec's Ghost (we have used with good results), and Acronis have the lead. Usefulness seems to be a matter of opinion. We have both complete image copies, and backups - depending on the scenario BUT that we also admit...

There are a couple of ways that you can check. The first you need is a DVOM (digital meter). You can start at the motor, or start at the board, and just check the voltages. ensuring that they are getting "there", meaning the motor may be bad. The second way is to remove the motor and test it...

If it has always done it, then most likely the blade offset needs to be set. If it just started, and there have been no changes (even the blade is the same), then you most likely have broken the tip off of the blade.
