Seems like all mat'ls

Brand new encoder strip a coupla months ago...along with a new black/cyan head...and a pretty through "once over" by a good tech.

We cannot seem to get the contour-cutting back on track. I think it MAY be that some parts are simply starting to go (machine is 4+ yrs old now) and that may be it. Seems like we can only get about 24" in the Y-direction (as the material feeds) to cut with any amount of accuracy. Beyond that...

Sounds about right to me.

Before they were bought out, I picked up an EyeOne Proof (brand new off ebay for about $1000 I believe). Additionally, I hired someone to come in and actually show me how to make profiles. IMHO, both are essential to this exercise.

Don't you have to use Win 7 Pro in order to get the XP compatibility mode? I was considering getting the Win 7 home 3-pack, but if you have issues and need the XP mode, then what?

As a starting point, I took rubbings on paper, then measured them and redesigned in the computer.

I did some good sized mirrors for the city a while back and I used Hartco 310S if memory serves. It's thicker than regular vinyl and comes of much easier when you want it to.

Bob, great commentary and insight, I completely agree! Reminds me of an article I read a while back about one of the most revered shoemakers (though I cannot come up with the name). He still fills a niche and commands exorbant prices...good for him.

Pretty cool, I didn't know you could do all of that with Wordpress.

Hey I just looked up a reference from another thread on this and if you are upgrading directly from WinXP, then it says you MUST do a clean install?! Can anyone confirm or refute this?

These were UPGRADEs, not a clean installs? Just wanted to clarify as I am considering this as we speak (as I'm sure many are). I know that a clean install is always preferred over an upgrade, but it is so painful to reinstall everything (which I've done many times and have yet to find a great...

+1 for encoder strip...clean or replace.

Curious...has anyone used the latest Arlon 6000XRP material yet? Would like to see some reviews if available.

Cool! We're doing one in a week or so.

Oh yeah, DEFINITELY invest in casters...you'll wish you had if you don't! I also built mine with storage underneath. A point to consider too is the overall height. I made mine 42" tall, but your mileage may vary.

I guess if price is no option to you...then go right ahead. I have two large tables, one 4x8 and one 5x10...no way I'd spend that kinda dough on a table, when I can build them for about 1/5 of those costs!

Wow, impressive amount of work in that time.

Too bad there isn't a similar deal for Win7 Professional (which you will need if you require WinXP mode).

I used MW for a while, but as Mike Paul mentioned, most all cards you will get corporate/gov't cards (at least it's been this way for us). As such, they fall in the mid-qual or non-qual rate which is a bit over 3%. We went away from MW because their mid and non-qual rates were quite a bit...
