Marketing taglines and stock-photo-babes aside, the difference boils down to this: Mutoh, Roland and Mimaki all have relationships with Epson, the holy grail in EcoSol printing. Mutoh builds machines for other companies, including Espon, which gives them a headstart on Espon's newer...

Hi Black Ice, You might want to call our sales folks at 800.699.5490 about trading in your Panther on a CE-5000. Thanks, Jim

I think I'd stay with RGB, which is richer because it has a wider color gamut than CMYK. Your RIP has color tables that convert RGB to CMYK, presumably in a way that's optimized for your printer. Plus, folks here are seeing richer colors when sending RGB to the RIP, which should speak volumes...

Try importing using the PDF filter. I've had better luck with it than AI. Also, have you been able to open the EPS in other programs? I'll usually try to raterize them in Photoshop if Corel is giving me grief. If neither opens it, the problem is seemingly the file.

Hi Rob, I joined SignWarehouse in January of this year, but our "relationship" goes back much further. To explain, I was with AirMark (later became Summa) in the early days, when AirMark, JSI, SignWarehouse, Ordway, et al, were battling for a share of the CASmate, FlexiSIGN, Roland, Ioline...

During the day my cell is usually not with me. So 800.699.5490 x 2162 is the best. If I'm away from my desk, have the operator page me. Best, Jim

Oops, should add ... Welcome from North Central Texas, albeit, I'm a transplant from the Northwest (lived in Seattle for 49 years ... moved here in January)

Hi Tom, I checked with our top cutter tech, and then got a second opinion from one of our engineering guys. Unfortunately, there's no way to know hours of run-time on the Panther, even going into the engineering-mode on the control panel. Wish I had better news. Best Regards, Jim

Ouch! What happened?

Good. Definitely! :^) OK; maybe I'm a smidge biased. So many thanks to Fred for offering some kind and objective criticism. We do serve a very large client-base; and while it's no excuse that any one of who honors us with their confidence is anything short of delighted, making everyone...

Greetings, And thank your for choosing our product. Please don't hesitate to call our support folks at 800.966.1783. They're available 7 days a week. We also have online resources: http://www.signwarehouse.com/support/ has online chat, downloads, FAQs, etc...

I think CoCut Pro can do this. It's primarily a CorelDRAW, Illustrator, AutoCAD plug-in. But it can open EPS files exported from SignLab. Check www.cocut.com.

Hi GX, Yeah; ironic. :^) But I think an objective look at the roll-fed cutter cateogry would support the claim. Graphtec has truly advanced the state of blade-movement art. I'm not an engineer. But I've seen the output -- and throughput even when cutting as "slower speed" -- and I must...

To clarify, Vinyl Express Q Series cutters are the polar opposite of entry-level. They are superior to and outperform every other top-of-the-line cutter on the market, with one exception: Graphtec Cutting Pro FC series.* *Many here can explain why I'd say this :^) The difference between...

Yes; the printhead and cutter in DC4 and DC4sx are identical. DC4 is wider than DC4sx and has a motorized take-up roller. That, as I recall, is the only difference between the models. Jim (former Summa VP)

MacDaddy speaks the truth. If you purchased Flexi PRO 8.5 v1 from SignWarehouse, send an email to support@signwarehouse.com. We'll send FSP8.5v2 to you at no cost. Best, Jim

In my experience, some node/path tweaking is always needed when creating cut-paths around bitmapped images. But I use either CorelDRAW or Photoshop to do most of the heavy lifting. CorelDRAW: I use Trace Bitmap, and then ungroup/break apart/weld to turn the trace results into an outline...

Hi Gabago, I advise you call Summa support at 800.323.9766. But if I had to make a guess, it's either: A. You need to perform an X-Axis Alignment using the same material you're cutting (Summa support can advise how to do this if you don't have a manual handy) B. You may not be leaving...

Howdy y'all, Indeed an oddity, or more accurately a rare anomaly. (Chris, it's highly unlikely the problem will recur, according to our techs. I’m happy to hear it worked out in the end.). Meanwhile, some thoughts on the competency of SignWarehouse support have been advanced here. But I...

Yes. Yes. Agreed; but "close" is a relative concept when dealing with a cutter that has 50' guaranteed tracking. :^)
