    I plan on mostly cutting wallpaper panels on either a Summa F or a Colex, the panels 100" long on average. Would a longer bed be much faster/better for cuts this size, F1382 vs F1612 or SXC1717 vs SXC1732. There is a significant price difference between the sizes, would the bigger bed be much...

    gone is the 227" (or whatever) canvas size limit in AI v26, now can go 10x bigger to 2270" Found this out by accident and can't believe this is actually true. Just finished my first 1200" mural without scaling and other stupid workarounds the previous limit and all went well. I'm sure others...
  4. After a decade of Versaworks I tried Onyx....
