  1. System Error 32

    I am receiving the followign error when attempting to "home" my Gerber enVision: System Error:32 X Axis Home Error However, the machine is still (for now?) cutting just fine, just not wanting to go home...?
  2. Suggestions on Storing Vinyl?

    We have a new roll of 3M IJ680CR-10 & know not to store it standing on end (last roll got a hump) but does anyone have a suggestion on how to store rolls "flat"? I guess it could go back in the box but I'd assume that it'd get dusty in there & the big box kinda looks ugly & in the way. How do...
  3. Run Omega Demo Mode?

    I am getting the following error today; a pop-up window that says: "Run Omega Demo Mode" (see image) I installed a demo of Flexi Sign today (to see what was in a junk art file I received), and that's all that's new that I know of besides a few new fonts. It appears that the Omaga...
  4. Cheap Felt Squeegees

    I learned a cheap tip from my MacTac training I went to a few weeks ago on how to DIY felt squeegees for cheap. Take your regular bulk cheapo squeegees & apply felt to the edge. Seems explanatory enough, but how do you apply the felt you ask? Go to your local Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Wal*Mart...
  5. EdgeFX Cleaning pads?

    I've been using these (saturated piece of paper) ThermApproveTM cleaning pads on my edgeFX, but they get expensive. Is anyone else using another prduct without issues?
  6. Illustrator oddball

    Ok, I must have pushed an odd key combo or something while working today... Every shape I create new is at a 45 degree angle instead of on the level with the monitor. Does that make sense? (It looks like a diamond instead of a rectangle when I make a new square.) I can manually rotate it...
  7. Training?

    I recently started at another location which employs the Gerber Edge FX & a gerber plotter. I was able to catch onto everything else I have been assigned to in the past, but learning Composer & Edge software are completely new to me with only a few files worth of experience since I have been...
  8. Who sells ATV templates?

    I need a template for a Kubota RTV1100 vehicle. The template manufacturers I use do not have them, as they're not a car/truck. I am NOT asking for someone to supply me with one, but for someone who has wrapped one before to provide me a link to where I can purchase one.
  9. Wrapping an Armadillo...

    We had a customer call up and ask if we could wrap an armadillo for them... a Ford Armadillo that is. For the vehicle: It's the new competition for the Sprinter. It's a lot cheaper initially and parts are cheaper to buy also (Ford vs Mercedes), so expect to run across a few in the future as...
  10. font halp

    I need both of em; I have too many fonts and no easy way of searching them all... :( Both look awfully familiar, but no name comes to mind.
  11. Recent Wrap

    Customer came in with their old marketing materials for a facelift, we designed some cards/magnets & brochures for them & they loved them. They bought a "new" truck and wanted a wrap. I thought it came out great, but the tiles on the cap were a PITA.
  12. Large Plastic Rivets?

    A customer brought a box truck by for a wrap quote a few days ago & we are getting finalized on the design now, but I am still concerned about the large plastic rivets on the box. They are smooth white plastic(?) rivets, almost like white teflon possibly? Has anyone else dealt with these? I...
  13. Versaworks Not Opening?

    I installed an update (the major one?) a week or so ago, but since Monday I have not been able to get Versaworks to fully load. It looks like it finishes loading; goes through the jobs in the database, then "miinimizes" into the tray and when I click on it nothing happens. Can't Alt+Tab to it or...
  14. 3-in-1 oil

    This process was "recommended" by a Roland Service Center, after some diagnosis of carriage errors we were having. It worked like a charm and the printer is happier and quieter while printing. Get a small container of 3-in-1 oil or sewing machine oil from your local hardware store. Apply a...
  15. Delayed Contour???

    I have an odd request, and thought soemone else here had run into the isssue before & how they deal with it. I have a round emblem (10") with a bleed on it, and also need an overlap of 1/2" extra laminate around the whole decal. I can put the two contours into the file, but how do you tell it...
  16. Moving Lights?

    A customer is requesting we come up with a solution to add moving/flashing lights to their sign to draw attention to it. We don't provide this in-house, does anyone have a solution or idea or interested in being involved in the project? Their current sign is attached below.
  17. Color Differences?

    I'm using Flexi 8.1 & Rip&Print printing a few menu signs with a "lense" in them. Anyways, These signs are in 2 locations at the customer's; one at full size and another reduced to 61.111% for a smaller outside drive-thru sign. For the inside sign we we going to do a few patches & for the...
  18. Font Help ID

    Image is too low res & distorted for whatthefont, remember it but can't name it. Thanks in advance.
  19. Antique Store Font?

    A new antique store is opening up & needs a decent sign. Any ideas on a good font to use (free is the best, but we have a lot of commercial ones already)? Currently I'm going with Dauphin until something better comes along. What are your suggestions?
  20. 4' x 10' Banner

    Let me know your thoughts on this; seems you guys have a good deal of information I can learn from. Wish I had posted some of these while they were still in-progress, but if your business is like mine then that's impossible due to turnaround times...
