the "postcard icon" will always insert an image that already exists on some web server, right into your post, at whatever pixel dimension it exists as. Down below the field you type your post into is a button "manage attachments"and this would be where you can upload an image of your own...

did you buy your cutter new? Finecut should be free with every Mimaki plotter. Maybe you can still get it from whoever sold you the plotter. If you got it used, whoever is receiving your ink and media business should be easy to bribe, I mean talk into giving it to you... ...for that matter...

agreed! Mark detect ON

on my CG160-fx, I think I only need to use 3 of 4 wheels, but the 4th has to be pushed alll the way to the left. Then of course the 3 in use must align with grit rollers. Also, there is a mark-detect option in your cutter menu options. This can be toggled on or off. For regular vinyl cutting we...

I'll have to check that out!

your avatar was a .gif, which I opened in PS and it showed up in the index color mode. I changed to rgb & got the familiar "background' name in my layers pallette, then following my instructions above, I saved as a .gif (with transparency box checked) I made a gradient box in illustrator, &...

Fred has pretty much hinted at all the answers you will need, but if there is any part he was saving for after you give more info, I'll chime in with how I do this. In photoshop, the default layer name (& charteristics) is "background" In the layer pallette, if you double click this layer name...

$500 minimum, but doing first, & charging after only works with prices that are lower than expected... ... if you thought vinyl would work... that price is probably higher than even you expected... ...and you haven't told us if you discussed price with the client, so I'm going to assume you...

Howzit? :smile:

Thanks Jimmy! I really need to spend more time researching what is available in that site... I just started reading some really cool stuff & remembered the time... gotta go to work! ..but thanks again

Nicely Done Gary (except for the paragraphs) ...I would have probably looked a little less "disappointed", and a little more "psychotic" in which case I would have had an entirely different report :omg: Thanks for the reminder that it ain't over till it's over :smile: (I hope you get the...

well I had a fun night of running all my machines that I usually don't run myself anymore... finished my print files, got some prints rolling, got my Lexan cut files ready & ran some tests, then cut my 2 full sheets of material with an engrave pass with the conic tool, for my bevels, & the...

I'm new to dual monitors, & I stick with one most of the time, when my work is focused on one program (although I imagine I'll start trying out tool palettes on one & work area on the other)... but when I get to those tasks with some frequent trips between two programs... that's when I love it!

thanks guys... I'll go see what I come up with!

thanks for the reply Fred, I will finish setting it up, check back here one last time & give it a whirl. I have a 1/4" single flute up-spiral I usually use for acrylic, & I'll try out my small 90 degree conic first. I'll probably run the spindle at 18,000 which is fairly common for most of...

hey guys, I just ran out to but some 3/16" clear acrylic for some second surface signs I need to make tomorrow & the material I was offered was all warpy!! :omg: I've not seen such crap, but I guess I'm used to cast acrylic & didn't know this supplier had quoted me an inferior product, extruded...

I believe that you want to save a spool file (spl?) from the file menu. I think that when I run edge jobs, 3 programs end up open... Omega, GSPlot, and the one that shows jobs in the que. (like a job manager, but I forget what it's called because someone else has run my Edge jobs for me for a...

I bought my printer from Advantage Sign Supply. They have several branches, but none anywhere near me, but their service is second to none!! What business are you in, if not the sign business?

Other have said I have a split personality too. Oh well... I gotta deal with it more than you, so hopefully it's not too much of a problem. No, of course you don't need to leave. You also don't need to learn everything overnight, and remember, there are hundreds of people here, & hundreds of...
