Hi Casey, CS3 uses RAM pretty efficiently. Here's some source material. Sure, more of anything, if you've got a ton of dough to spend, is always great. But spending a bunch to gain a few seconds on rendering a behemoth EPS or applying a complex filter effect (most tasks it'll be hardly...

I'd probably start with a barebones from TigerDirect The Flexi isn't a hardware-intensive program. Photoshop CS3 is, but even still, you don't have to go all out. 4GB RAM is ample. Dual monitors, however, is a must with PS: one for the tools; the other for the design window. My $0.02...

Seems about right; 50% of new.

50% of new; use as the justifcation the pawn shop model. They typically give 25% of new and price it at 50%. Just a thought. Jim

Try Summa support at 800.323.9766. But it does sound like a pinch-roller/grit-wheel slipping issue. BTW, the S Class has variable tension pinch rollers. Make sure you're on the heavy pressure setting ... and that all the rollers are in the same pressure state. Good luck, Jim

Great news! Happy cutting :^)

Hi Mikeifg, I think what folks are speaking to is "I paid X and made Y with it." I tend to think that cost-justification may have originated with equipment salespeople :^) But businesses operate on cash-flow. The better calculation is X cost per month or quarter vs. the cashflow it...

PS: to explain further the log-in problem, and how that's a problem for businesses: folks and magazine ediitors subscribe / add book-marks. Then you can't add to it and have to start a new blog, but you've promoted the old one .... which is getting stale and there's seemingly no solution from...

Hi Jon, LOL! You got me. Twitter is indeed the micro-blog to end all micros. Google-crawled to the max. But they're another one of those VC-bux-hemorraging operations (read: zip support). Folks are having huge log-in issues (me too). And there's little more that folks can do than create...

Yeah; it's a Graphtec. They last way longer. But individual results may vary :^) Kidding, sort of. I can say with the same certainty that the cutter will outlast your expectations as I can that a lottery ticket won't meet your expecations. There are exceptions to every rule. Best, Jim

Hi Pat, It was before my time at SW, but I think I got the gist of it. And I don't want to defend them and stir up old feelings. Clearly, they screwed up and sent an email that wasn't thoroughly proofed and verified. The SW rep chose a minimizing noun and should have just said: Yeah; we...

Good honorable folks; and leasing can be a good way to go if you have at least a 20% residual payoff ... then 100% of your payments are deductable. BTW, I was with SignWarehouse until they downsized. Still, I think they're a good bunch. What little negative feedback you might hear is a...

Thanks! And my pleasure, man. I hope it works.

Hi Jennifer, I think the only answer is: From Summa. It's a unique, Summa-assembled,, component. So third-party products aren't available, to the best of my knowledge. Maybe someone has an extra one in the used / Craigslist / eBay market. But I think that's a longshot. Best, Jim

Welcome to S101, from Gainesville, Texas! Texan in training actually; I'm (was) a 4th generation Seattelite.

Drives traffic to your commercial site, and if done correctly can get your some high-powered (weighted) backlinks. But I'm hesitant to say a lot more, for competitive reasons. A lot of what I know is researchable online, however. So you can still gain some leverage with minimal effort...

Use WinPlot (free download from Summa). It auto-recognizes the reg-marks if they're 3mm square, on all four corners, and outside of the live area (about 5 mms beyond the outer contour, which WinPlot assumes is the cut line). First time it'll take a couple extra minutes ... after that, a...

To stay in touch with my kids: myspace.com/jimdoggett To gain search engine ranking/relevancy and build a customer support community: MySpace, Facebook, Google Friend Connect, Skype, Get Satisfaction, Blogspot and Add This. (Twitter, too. But it's junk from a business standpoint ...
