Today I scraped some vinyl off a window and I must say it was rather attractive. The letters were a white that looked like a pearl and I assume translucent. There was a shiny chrome outline that wasn't a Mylar or polyester, it felt like a vinyl. Anyone able to steer me in defining these products...

How would you compare a Graphtec to a Summa ? Cutters only, no printing. I need something that cuts rubber and makes pounce patterns as well as cutting sticky back stuff.

I find it odd that the C up top is a different font from the text underneath

I've been blasting redwood for a while and am rather familiar with it. I prefer a high tack rubber that will stick to bare wood. Will this work on 15# and 18# foam? Do I need to paint the foam first to get rubber to stick? I don't really want to get a whole new product in my inventory just for...

I've had no problem running the old Flexi on 32 bit Win7 and being that I don't do the digital printing see no reason for the upgrades.

Thanks, all. The comment above Bobby was the instruction I needed. I couldn't do what I wanted with it though. I was making a thermometer to measure donations given for a project. I needed increments of $10,000 from $0-$180,000. I need the zero on th bottom and the t180k up top. I couldn't...

Seems long ago I knew how to type in a low number and then a higher number and do something that allowed me to designate the increments and it would give me the list of numbers. If I wanted numbers from 1 to 100 in increments of 5, it would do it. Please remind me how this is done. Thanks

I found the Angled Screen setting you mentioned. How do I see the dot pattern on my screen before sending to the printer?

I'm wanting to replace my Graphtec and considering a Summa. There are no dealers near me where I can demo any models. I don't print, but cut vinyl, heavy sandblast rubber, need to pen plot and pounce paper patterns and cut reflective. Looking for something that runs 30" material. Can someone...

where do you find angled screen dithering?

You can buy a cement blade for a skill saw. Mark off a square slightly larger than the hole your post hole digger (clam shell) will make. Use a cement drill and make holes in the corners and the skill saw to make the perimeter cuts and a cross cuts diagonally. Hit it with a sledge hammer and...

What a wonderful piece of family history!

How would you handle a pattern that size? How would you mount it on the wall? Perhaps Tyvec rather than paper? I'd just make a scale drawing with a one foot square grid on it and draw it on the wall. A pattern that size could be dangerous with a small breeze.

for something that big, I'd make the pattern in 4' wide sections and do them one at a time if a pattern is necessary. Usually on something that big I'd just make a scale drawing with a blue line grid over it and draw it onto the wall.

I use an older version of Flexi, but per chance my comments might be valid. I think when I make a PDF the fonts are changes to vectors. When I open a PDF I usually need to unmask and the text are not in a font format. Is this different in newer versions?

I couldn't get 7.6 working right with the 64 bit. Switched to a WIn 7 32 bit and it's fine.

what is poly metal?

I loaded Eye Candy onto my D drive and went into Flexi/Edit/Preferances/File Paths, and directed the Adobe Plug Ins to the folder on my D drive. Hope this helps

I don't know the software you're using to drive the cutter, but with Flexi I go to the Advanced tab on the cutting program and uncheck "advance after plot." Then after I change from a pen to a blade I go back and hit cut again.
