Signs are a fungible commodity. One can be substituted for another and maintain identical functionality. It has nothing to do with sign mines, sign quarries, or sign farms. It has to do with fungibility. You have the cart before the horse. Is something a commodity because it can be traded in...

Perhaps. So enlighten me. What fact, if I were in possession of, would cause me to feel otherwise? Signs is signs. Letters and possibly decorations arranged on a substrate. Not anything for which I have anything resembling an emotional attachment. Whatever is is, no matter how well it's done...

You just keep telling yourself that. Perhaps if you say it often enough you'll actually believe it or maybe get someone else to believe it. Signs are indeed a commodity. At least they are in my shop. I have no spiritual or aesthetic connection to any sign I might do. It's just a sign. It's a...

Hand lettered. All three 'r's are different.

It's not how much ink you can dump on the media. When you print on clear you have no white point. When any algorithm prepares to output to a CMYK, or any subtractive color model, printer it assumes the media as its white point. Removing that white point or replacing it with something other than...

I find specimens such as yourself to be endlessly amusing. Your efforts amount to absolutely nothing. You have no effect on anything. The external reality will march on, totally unaffected by and unaware of your efforts. As counterpoint to your overweening concern over things out of your...

Then you really ought to know that the one you seem to like is representative of the era around the turn of the century. Certainly before 1920. The 30's was far more art deco and big solid heroic looking stuff. Almost an ugly a time as the 1950's.

Flexi has a hard time recognizing other protocol's transparencies. When you bring in a bitmap, treat it like an opaque rectangle and create your own transparencies. Or just draw a path where you want to cut and make it a contour cut.

I ran Estimate for a brief period. Long enough to realize that is was a waste of my time. Far too much detail about things that do not need detail. The largest objection is that pricing the same work, or fundamentally the same work, produces different output depending on the state of an insanely...

You might want to try going through the 'Sensor Offset Adjustment' as detailed in sections 16.19 and 16.20 in the manual. This sets the logical distance between the mark sensor gear and the blade. If this is off then all of your contour cuts will be biased one way or the other on X and/or Y...

Depends on how you're dealing with the bitmap and how you're generating the contour cut. Contour cutting faded drop shadows is a loser not because of Flexi, you can certainly do it, but because the drop shadow fades to white, Unless you're applying the image to a white substrate it will put...

It's built in on the 7000. If you use manual mark detection in your software it should automatically invoke it. Or you can select "Light Pen' for blade type on the plotter's console.

What do you mean by 'laser bomb site'? If you mean an actual optical blade/pen replacement through which you peer as you position the tool carriage, no. It's not necessary. The FC7000 has, or is supposed to have, both a built-in light pen for manually locating registration marks and automatic...

That will show them, eh? You buy the product from the very organization that's doing whatever it's doing to sell its product and to which you want to give the finger and then give it away. I'm in awe at such a display of acumen.

The standard temperature for ironing cotton is in the neighborhood of 400 degrees F. Heat is not a problem with an iron. Pressure, consistent and constant pressure, is.

If I knew what you were prattling on about I wouldn't have asked you to define your terms. One can then assume from your latest communique that in your lexicon being a 'hack' has to do with installing signs rather than making or designing them. That was not at all clear from your initial...

Twaddle. What business is of any municipality to filter out anything? The free market does a yeoman job doing just that. How do you distinguish a 'hack' from anyone else, especially yourself? What rule or set of rules would you put in place such that they exclude all that you determine to be...

That mess looks very much like what happens when software product A 's strokes are imported into software product B which doesn't understand product A's strokes. Only this time on steroids. Perhaps that might be a clue as to how to deal with this Chinese fire drill.

Now you can get a head start on making clay bunnies and tile ashtrays against the time when your handlers finally catch up to you and carry off back to the home. Perhaps in time you can progress to producing alphabet macaroni name tags. //cynicism mode off// At any rate, it's always a...

Just print the addition as a rectangle sufficient to contain whatever you're adding and apply it as a patch with banner tape. From more than a couple of feet it will be undetectable. This is the sovereign remedy for typos and copy changes on banners.
