SAi (Flexi folks) have a training DVD for $199. That's probably a good deal if you're new to the software. I'm not sure if we sell it, but you can check with our sales folks ... if not ask them where you can get it. 800.699.5514 or sales@signwarehouse.com. Best, Jim

Yeah; faster processing is nice. More RAM is super nice ... 1.5GB is tiny by today's standards. Even 3.5 is a bit limited, but definitely way better and worth the 200 bucks, IMO. In fact, everything processor and memory related is worth it and then some ... better and cheaper has reached a...

"Go to google maps or the map site of your choice, zoom in till you get the resolution you want." That violates the license agreement. It's intended for personal and not commercial use. But it may not be closely monitored. (Not as obvious as scanning a printed map ... but still full-on...

You may need to buy / license something. Map-makers are sticklers when it comes to copyrights. And they guard their work like pitbulls. Maybe try these guys: http://www.maps.com/ Good luck, Jim

You've got to be careful they're the right type of magnets, especially on white vehicles. They newer polymers in vehicle paint are pretty poor, and typical magnets can chemically react with them. It leaves a mark you cannot wash off since it's in the paint layer. Still, $2.99 is a killer...

"my guess is that the manufacturers of the glass of these vehicles are treating it with a product that is not promoting adhesion. is this only happening with relatively new vehicles or can anyone report that this has happened on an older model vehicle?" Hi Dan, That's nano-coating. It's a...

Could be nano-coating, too. Especially on back windows.

3M Di-Noc Vinyl is great too. Very cool choices and terrific stretch / shrink properties. Just one link from a Google search: http://www.idsfinishes.com/

Great advice, from a guy who's as Pro as the name suggests! :clapping: Standing up is safer and vastly more space-saving. And if you can build a box with a simple fan system, you can cut 2 days down to a few hours. Here's an example, which I think bigger/busier shops could build themselves...

It's probably better than nothing, if the old saying is true: If I hear it I forget it; if I see it I remember it; if I do it I understand it. Hands-on training has to be better, hands down. We're all too different, especially when it comes to squeegee techniques and pressure. So without...

Velvet lexan for the counter-top is probably sufficient. But for floor graphics I think you'll want an approved floor graphics kit, such as 3M's. It's spendier but limits liability of someone slips and sues the pants off your client. Then the client sues you since you provided a "dangerous"...

More dots per square inch creates higher resoution printing. (Smoother, photo-realistic, continuous tone, etc.) 370 x 740 probably means a 300 dpi print head. If the head is on a bias, that ups the resolution to about 370. Then if the head fires at twice the frequency while if moves across...

Absolutely. It's an amazing system. The print quality and choice of matetials to print on is truly incredible. And the cutter, software and training/support completes the solution so that you can be assured it works and you'll know how to use it. The Summa printers are OK for some things...

CorelDRAW makes great PDFs. This too is an option; one of many: http://www.win2pdf.com/ Best, Jim

Yes indeed. They tried to get rid of me, but Texas is just too great to leave. So since they couldn't rid the state of me and ship me back to Seattle, they'll at least keep me off the streets during the week. Either that or the economy is rebounding. It feels like it, thank gooodness...

We also sell all of that individually at good prices and can send out a service tech if need be, since PrismJET is a SignWarehouse unit. Best, Jim

^^^^ +1 ^^^^ :U Rock:

I'm surprised you didn't buy it directly in Canada, since it's a Canadian-made product: http://www.kooto.ca/ ... said the US dealer :^) Best, Jim

Ditto to this. Latex outgasses a long time; 1 year or more. That defeats the adhesive and the vinyl falls off. Ixne on the atexle. :^) Jim

Agreed. The days of spending gobs on prepress are over, except for the real high-end work/buyers. I haven't seen hard copy for years ... until it's off the press. Proofing is done online, via PDF ... and my monitor ain't press-matched. Cheap / fast trumps exacting color, it seems, at least...
