  1. Roland -> Mimaki

    a lot of us use Flexi, & a lot don't ...I use Flexi. I think the cleaning procedures require more consistent attention than my friends with VC's describe. I don't know much about Roland printers though, so other than basic full solvent differences over eco-solvent... I'm not sure what else may...
  2. To make a long story longer . . .

    hey, I "figure" wrong all the time too... so no judgment intended... just people you know you are mistaken, hoping nobody buys a computer thinking they will get to use the $1300 worth of software, only to find out they can't "activate" it!
  3. To make a long story longer . . .

    Mac has better marketing! (which is why some people still think they have "better wiring" :ROFLMAO:) oh yeah... when an ad starts "this is not a scam" and then proceeds to offer over $1000 worth of non-transferable Adobe software on a computer selling for under $800.... hmmm, does anyone...

    I think Rep has already solved the problem.... ..but with help like that :iamwithstupid ...who needs problems? :rolleyes:

  6. Adobe Illustrator vs. Corel Draw

    AI is a great program to use. If you open it & draw... you would get great results... if all you do is draw somewhere else & get frustrated not knowing how to get other file formats open in AI, then you probably aren't using the program much, & aren't using it for it's intended purpose, to...
  7. Adobe Illustrator vs. Corel Draw

    Since I needed to call them anyway, regarding something else, I called Adobe about that link. That particular suite costs $1399 new from Adobe. They confirmed that SoftwareMedia.com is NOT an authorized distributor. They said bootleggers like that take copies of Adobe's 30 day trial...
  8. Adobe Illustrator vs. Corel Draw

    That most likely won't be legal. It may have been legal, but it won't legally belong to YOU, unless you file a transfer of license document you need to get from Adobe & have signed by the original owner... which doesn't often happen by people selling perfectly good software at 25% or 30% of...
  9. coat of arms

    here's the middle part... not vector, but bigger than your image & a starting place. If you couldn't redraw this, the vector doctor could do it for sure: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/221/517409092_a95de67e26.jpg?v=0 this SITE had some interesting history, along with the same small image your...
  10. Adobe Illustrator vs. Corel Draw

    both can work... I only have one though... been using it 15 years... never needed the other. When I say both can work, I mean either... I don't see any reason to have both!
  11. Anyone on Facebook? Are social networks really this addictive?

  12. Best way to clone a Hard Drive

    I beg to differ... wow... you too? I had 3 Seagates fail on me within as many months! I had 2 WD MyBooks go bad a few months apart in 07, which were both replaced with more WD's the next day... but I could never trust them after that, so I got two Maxtor 1TB NAS drives... both fried on me...

  14. Best way to clone a Hard Drive

    I tried Ghost once, & it worked well. I had at least a dozen programs, email settings, FTP settings, printer settings, internet settings yada yada yada... & I reformatted a computer & then ran the ghost image as an experiment. Everything came back up perfectly, with very little input from me...
  15. Uh ohh....

    If you know you aren't really ready, & a slow season is on the horizon... I would look for a job, AND take all the great advice above. If you can find a job, you will be even more likely to make good business decisions on how to prepare the foundation of your business plan, for a successful...
  16. How can I simulate this?

    The middles could easily be a mask of any image of shiny colorful crap and look good... it's the edges where they have to decide if just masking any old letter shape that cuts through the middle of beads is OK with them. There's no substitute for placing each bead separately... if they want that...
  17. Stop me from streaking!

    Sad to say it, & of course I'm no expert... but it might be time for a few new print heads. How long have those one's been running? My Mimaki was starting to do that on more solid colors & finally i bit the bullet & had it serviced... year 4 and it's running better than ever now!
  18. Vista 64-bit....

    on your laptop, I might guess that you won't have a whole signshop worth of obscure programs & device drivers that need to run on it... I bought a Vista 64 bit upgrade just yesterday, on purpose, without a gun to my head... although I did call Casey (Signburst) first... but I went for it, and...
  19. Contour Cut Query

    I'm not one of the many Flexi haters around here, because it does what I need it to do... but my personal choice of "what I need it to do" almost never overlaps with anything I could just do in illustrator. If you design in illustrator, why don't you just create the vector path you want to use...
