What about in the Swiss family. It looks stretched though. For the bottom small type i would say either Frutiger or Myriad.

A couple of sites i always hang around and read up on new stuff is: www.tomshardware.com and www.neoseeker.com ... They have lots of reviews and they compare allot of products against each other.

Your problem was definately the heat! It softens up the vinyl and makes it warp and your knife easily goes through the backing paper. You also risk damaging the teflon cutting strip (that plastic strip on the printer where the blade goes down on).

I would go into your photopaint and fade your pictures to black (top or bottom accordingly). Then bring them into Illustrator and put in a black rectangle joining both pictures. Just makes sure that your pictures and black rectangle are the same color mode with each other (RGB or CMYK).

Have you looked in: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts\Reqrd\Base I've got some type 1 fonts installed there for some reason. Wasnt me who set it to install in that directory. This is on a Win98 machine also. I still use an old p3 700 for all my internet/e-mail uses. Its soon going...

I dont have a laminator myself (i use a friends). I dont think the problem is with your machine, this isnt the first time i hear people having trouble putting 3951 through a laminator. I havent used it myself. I'm still using 3M 180 for my vehicle decals needing 2 mil cast and dont plan on...

I dont know of any advantages or disadvantage to doing that. My first rip pc was working with one partition while my rip pc now is split into two. I dont see any HD performance difference.

Double your ram and get a decent size hard drive. 30 gigs is just not enough. I can rip some files and they will eat up almost 10 gigs of hard drive space, once ripping is done, all that memory comes back. I'm amazed everytime at how much memory it takes to rip those huge files.

This is a pretty good article comparing Vista to XP: http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/01/29/xp-vs-vista/

The OS your trying to install flexi 7.5 on is not supported by it. Either wait for a fix ... Buy a Vista compatible sign program or go to XP. Starting to see allot of problem posts with people trying to install pre-vista software.

I've also read recently that Vista sucks compared to XP when it comes to speed with graphic applications. Most notible with 3D programs but photoshop was in there as well. I'll be with XP for a while still i think.

I've had the SC-500 since march 2002. Its been a great machine for me. Verry low maintenance. Just make sure it has the heater upgrade in it, if it doesnt you really should get it. The only downside of it compared to other printers is its speed. It prints a 4'x8' per hour at 540dpi. Printing at...

Turning off "media feed calibration" in your rip helps as well.

Your best option SignNutz would be to find a shop in your area that will do them up for you.

Welcome Rod! From across the river ;)

The way i interpret ColesCreations post is that it isnt printing acceptable results overtop his printed white. I would say print your picture including the white on clear vinyl .. and reprint the picture on opaque white vinyl and stick it overtop your clear decal.

From what i heard the white ink coming from LF printers is not opaque so your picture viewed from the inside will show the printed picture thats on the other side. Similarly ... if you were to print your picture on clear ... print the same picture on white vinyl and stick overtop the clear ...

Hi NDO ... My ex wife is greek .. Verry pretty .. but what a temper !!! :cool: I'd love to see some signs from your neck of the woods.

IMO .. 100 gigs is not enough if your into digital printing. My workstation has a 200 gig HD and its pretty much full (it has about 35 gigs left and i need that space for ripping jobs .. lats job i ran, the rip files took up 20 gigs of space to get processed). My decision has me going to buy...

Seems like such a hassle to offer ... But domed decals look so cool!
