  1. having problems hooking up desktop monitor to my laptop...

    so, this is what I learned. the default setting is for either one monitor or the other, which is what I had in mind. Otherwise I could go for the "dual" setting where I can drag pallettes and toolbars to another monitor, but for now I just wanted the desktop (TV) monitor to work. What was...
  2. having problems hooking up desktop monitor to my laptop...

    what... nobody knows anything about hooking a monitor to a laptop?? I thought tons of people have done this before me?? Has anyone reading this done it? How did it go for you? do both monitors display, or do you have to pick one???
  3. having problems hooking up desktop monitor to my laptop...

    Thanks Dustin, I'll look into it. I bought the laptop for a trip & I had located a Refurbished Intel Dual core Sony Vaio running XP for $650 which I was thrilled about... but the f'n loser sales dumass told me it was shipping out the next day. 3 days of phone calls after a no-show on the...
  4. having problems hooking up desktop monitor to my laptop...

    I'm having problems hooking up desktop monitor to my widescreen laptop... I just got a laptop for a recent trip, & I want to use it in my home office. Currently I use an older tower & have a small HD TV hooked up as the monitor, along with a standard keyboard and mouse. The laptop is a...
  5. new to the industry

    if you won the auction, do the right thing and fulfill your contractual obligation to pay for what you agreed to buy. It's a little late to do research, you already "bought" it, so pay the man & come on back & we'll help you make the best of it. You said it yourself, it's not the best, but...
  6. Flexie sign training cd order

    if your in a big hurry, the best advice is the vector doctor. I don't know if he still offers price breaks on the first order, but his prices & turnaround time are ALWAYS excellent. I've used him half a dozen times and always been impressed with speed, quality, AND price... and we know you can't...
  7. I feel stupid asking this but...

    I usually select the background (everything BUT the design to be printed) ...and then I go to the select menu & choose inverse. Then I fill this with black, & resave as my cut file in a .tiff format. While still selected, you can create a path, or export as a path, but my habit for years has...
  8. Flaming / Flowing Horse Head?

    first or second (or both) mega collections have similar stuff
  9. CaseMate Fonts

    Bobby, is the caswinfonts folder you refer to, one that can with the Casmate program? When I bought Flexi, I bought it because it came with the .ttf version of all the same fonts that casmate had, and as a 7 year veteran of casmate... that was a big part of convincing me to buy Flexi. Now I...
  10. similar fonts?

    I've typed into Google a font name & the words free, font, and or download... and sometimes found what I needed. I guess it's possible that I ended up with an illegal copy though, but other times it may be a similar but different name that has become legally free because of renaming? The...
  11. similar fonts?

    I checked here: http://desktoppub.about.com/od/lookalikefonts/Lookalike_Fonts.htm ...but didn't see your fonts. It's a good link to know about for next time though.
  12. Used software and upgrades...

    Is there one particular software you want answers on? I have some valuable experience with the answers to this, related to several different software, but I'm not into typing out all the different answers right now. Generally I would disagree with the above statement. Obviously if you get...
  13. Jv3 Problem

    yes, I one time swapped out a cartridge that was only showing "near end" instead of "ink end" because I just wanted to rule out any chance that it was influencing an issue I was trouble shooting... ...anyway, while I forget now why I had done that, I remember learning the consequence of doing...
  14. Stick Figure People?

    do the search because other links to purchasing the artwork were also posted in the past. I also don't see how this could be worth doing, but there's a lot I don't see. If you have a demand for it, & can see better profits by paying for a collection of these stickers... then more power to you!
  15. Gerber Edge Foil - Reflective

    are they simple large letters? you said "white background" but you didn't say reflective white... so you may not want to print red on reflective white for 2 reasons. At 16" x 24" you will, of course, have a splice AND you will be using a lot of expensive white reflective vinyl that you may...
  16. Extreme makeover - The Winners and the Prizes

    Wayne, I voted for yours. You captured what I thought I was going for in the sense that when I saw yours... it was just what I thought Jim's should have! Gene's was the other stand-out winner in my first viewing, but like I told him, I think it looked so impressive it was intimidating me...
  17. Mimaki plotter settings

    I'm away from the office for a week, & don't have that memorized. Sorry
  18. Mimaki plotter settings

    I set the force to 30 for unlaminated 3651 prints, but 110 for laminated prints. I think my laminate is 3 mil, but I'm not sure.
  19. Terminology index? Dictionary?

    Fred, this reminds me of the wikipedia-style link to various word definitions on other sites like printingdigital.net I imagine you are quite familiar with them & would have formulated opinions already on whether that concept has merit here, so I'm curious what you think.
  20. Laminator problems...or is it me?!

    do you set it up perfectly centered on the rollers? I've heard this can be related to problems such as you describe due to an intentional design of crowning in the rollers. When I have 36" material in my 63" laminator, it's well off to one side, but still works because almost none of it crosses...
