  1. Work Order / Job Flow Software or Process, what do you do?

    We are in the same boat as you and we are trying to find a new solution even though we are a larger shop than you the same thing is a problem. We need a better way to get parts from station to station in a timely and efficient matter. We are demoing everything I can find as a solution. There are...
  2. Switched to Mac

    I completely 100% agree with you that there are far fewer difference now than a decade ago from a components factor. Trust me I have built dozens of computers in my lifetime and repaired far more than that with new components. However I have also repaired a few Macs. Replaced hard drives...
  3. Switched to Mac

    The only reason I didn't go with the SSD is because unfortunately Apple doesn't use a standard SSD it is soldered to the motherboard rendering it non user replaceable. I've had to replace the Hard Drive in iMacs before and its not to hard the 5K is a little harder because they switched to...
  4. Switched to Mac

  5. Switched to Mac

    Personally i've always enjoyed the Mac OS more and thought it was a better and easier choice when it came to using it for Design/Layout work. When I started here 6 years ago they had Corel and I knew I could learn it but as i've been here longer I've always wished we used Macs. Then about 6...
  6. Switched to Mac

    I just bought a brand new iMac 5K Retina Display. Went with i7 4.0GHZ, 1 TB Fusion Drive, AMD R9 295X 4GB DDR5 GPU, and 32GB of RAM. We are switching our graphics department from PC based to Mac based slowly and this was the first purchase (besides our Mac Mini that runs Caldera). We are also...
  7. photopolymer

    I don't think you can achieve rounded braille dots with Photo-polymer. They will always have the plateau look to them. I've done a lot of research and have made a lot of polymer in the past. Everything I found stated that the painting process is basically what rounds their braille. We have...
  8. Shipping signs

    We always justify sending our important signs in wood crates. We do a lot of stainless steel panels anywere from .040 to .25" thick and we've seen Fed and UPS bend .125" panels. Not worth redoing them compared to the cost of building a quick wood box.
  9. Noob Routing Questions

    I would say onsrud tools are very good but they are a little on the expensive side. They have fantastic tech support if you call up and tell them what you are trying to cut and the capabilities of your router RPM and Speed they can almost always suggest a tool and speeds and feeds for it. If...

  12. outlook 2013... how does this stupid thing work

    Who is your mail provider? They usually offer both standard mail boxes and Exchange accounts. The advantage with most exchange accounts is that they have much larger storage capacity, they sync more than just mail including contacts, notes and calendars. Your provider should be able to migrate...
  13. Caldera VisualRIP+ Network

    Is it possible to put the license code on the network and have more than one computer running Caldera V10. I have two printers and two operators that use each one exclusively for different media types. Was wondering When we switch to Macs exclusively will we be able to install it on both...
  14. epson stylus pro 9600 and windows 7

    Are you trying to connect via USB? When I looked back I found that I had written down an IP address for that printer, It jogged a memory of using either USB Print Server or a Parallel Print Server hooked to the back of it. Then I could add it as a network printer on my system and then I had luck...
  15. epson stylus pro 9600 and windows 7

    I know I had a hell of a time getting the Windows driver for my Epson 7600 when we switched to 7. I'll dig through my files and see if I can find anything on how we ended up getting it to work.
  16. Cutting out of Caldera

    I will try to include all pertinent information in this post the first time. We are looking to switch our graphics department from PC Computers using CorelDraw to Mac computers using Adobe Illustrator. We already use Illustrator a little bit but are getting tired of Windows and the crap that...

    I'm trying to output some large PDF files from Corel X7 to Caldera and when I open them in the file manager they are blank but if I open them after outputing them I can see that all the images are there. Is there a page limit size for PDF's in Caldera? Thanks,
