  1. Parser module cannot parse the file.

    Please help me with this one. I like to do my layout in Omega, then export it as an.ai file to then be imported by PhotoShop. (for effects, etc.) This almost always works great. Today, I'm getting the error message above. Does this have anything to do with the fact that this is the client's...
  2. refilling cartridges

    Agree with Rep, messing up a printer is too big a risk. By the way, if you're charging correct prices, the ink cost is infinestimally small. Too small to worry about. I would run the proper ink, and charge a bit more.
  3. a deal too good to be true...

    I didn't know Roland was still marketing this one. Thought they had sort of phased out the SP-540.
  4. Serivce Mode won't work

    I've got the Sp-540V so it's probably different. But on my machine, you turn OFF the power, THEN hit and hold down the Maintenance button, as you switch ON the sub-power. That puts the machine in the Cleaning mode. Maybe yours is similar?
  5. Here's my story

    Welcome from the Pacific Northwest. Now, how are you going to break the news to your father in law that you'll need a laminiator? Few thousand bucks.
  6. Please help my ink madness...

    Are the wipers fairly straight and sharp?
  7. Oops............

    Think I'd be tempted to trace and re-create. Looks like straight lines and a few compass arcs.
  8. Versacamm cut force?

    We cut every day at 115, single pass. That's calendared with laminate. Speed can make a difference too. We use the default of 30.
  9. Poked in the eye again by Gerber

    Jtrube, I sympathize. I started out with the G company in the eighties. Been with them all the way. Currently running Omega 2.1, but of course, it's also out of date. The things they're betting on are these: 1. You won't want to learn a new software. 2. What will you do about all the .plt...
  10. Whats the difference between .ai and .eps

    Thanks for that, Fred. I even picked up something from your discourse.
  11. Do you keep your cutter running all day?

    On all day. Shut off at night.
  12. Signs since 1976

    Greetings JoJo. I was born and raised in North Central Ohio. Out here in the Pacific Northwest now. Welcome to the forum.
  13. Carriage disconnect "errror message"

    Thanks for the replies. Not sure to take everything Dan says as gospel. Sam from Pacific Coast Sign Supply has really impressed me. Personable, knowlegeable, and efficient.
  14. Carriage disconnect "errror message"

    I'm running the head in the "high" position because that's what the tech told me to do for banners. He said it's too risky in the down position. But I think I'm hearing from you that it's safe to do so in the down position, but guard against the tunneling that sometimes happens on banners when...
  15. Carriage disconnect "errror message"

    Roland users, is it your opinion that running banners on high speed with the print head in the "up" position, contributes to more spit and spatter onto the sensor strip? I'm calling it that because I don't know the proper name. But it's that long 1/2" high clear plastic strip that guides the...
  16. Thinking of New Sign Shop

    Have you tried Googling it? Might be some commentary there.
  17. Shop Hours

    M-F 9-5 Once in a while we're here after hours, or more rarely, on Saturdays but we sure as shootin' don't unlock the doors. That's why we're here, to get something done and get on with our lives.
  18. A sign to ponder?

    Good words, Gino.
  19. anyone know what font this # 7 is?

    It's handdrawn. Heck, you can probably just draw the silly thing or scan. If you need a different digit, open a font such as Century 725 Black and go from there. (check the 55 on the door panel)
  20. What about Taxing?

    I think things will vary some from state to state. But in my state if you sell, then you're required to collect sales tax. Except from lawfully exempted customers who must demonstrate their exemptness. Sounds like ChicagoGraphics has found some sort of loophole, or things are different in...
