  1. My Logo

    I agree. Maybe simplify the "SELLERS", or change it over to a gold leaf look and simplify "Sign & Design"...
  2. My Logo

    I should have clarified, I'm not using that bottom logo. I still use a simple version of the top one. By "threw it together" I meant I put it together as an idea to work on, but I've hit somewhat of a creative block which is why I posted it here.
  3. My Logo

    I have been using some form of this logo since I started: It is clean and simple, which I like. I like the slanted script for some reason also. But I feel like it could be a lot better. I threw this together in Illustrator one night: The majority of my work is fire department related (gold...
  4. SolJet ProV 545EX?

    He said the nozzle check looks good except for the black is missing a few lines, but supposedly it still prints fine. He said he has replaced two heads within the past year. I thought this machine had six heads, he was saying it only had two. I was a little confused about that part. I forgot to...
  5. SolJet ProV 545EX?

    I have found a SolJet ProV 545EX for sale locally. It is a 2009 model in good condition currently still in operation. It also has an add-on drier. The guy selling the printer seems to be very knowledgeable and it looks like he has taken care of it. In addition to the 545 an FJ600 is included in...
  6. Starting to get the hang of it...

    Well that could be a problem. Because I hit that button a lot. On a more serious note, Illustrator and Photoshop have made me really start looking hard for a better printer. There is nothing more aggravating than designing something awesome, sending it to the edge and then seeing it spit out...
  7. Starting to get the hang of it...

    Oh... that's what this button does?!

    Welcome from Harrisburg, NC!
  9. Starting to get the hang of it...

    I have tried to steer clear of Photoshop and Illustrator because I thought they were mysterious, complex programs that might launch a missile in Russia if you clicked on the wrong button. But I have read up on it and seen that they are great programs for doing nice artwork, so I figured I would...
  10. Gerber Edge rapid beep/blank screen

    I blew the inside out as suggested in some other posts, and it starting working again, but only for one job. So I took it back apart and found a loose bolt on the bottom board that held a ground strap. I tightened that up and it worked perfectly... for one more job. The rapid beeping started...
  11. Gerber Edge rapid beep/blank screen

    Well the Edge is being a pain again. I got my last issue corrected, I just had to reinstall the drivers. But now I have more problems. I turned it on the other day and the foil motor was running constantly. I unplugged it and let it sit and it was fine. Then it started doing a rapid beeping when...
  12. Complex Contour Cuts

    I was running Flexi and Google Chrome at the time. The bottom line of text was very ornate and distressed, and that was what was causing the problem. I ended up outlining it, welding that together, and the creating a contour around that. The computer seemed to be a little happier with that route.
  13. Complex Contour Cuts

    I need to contour cut around two lines of text for some boat motor decals. The first line is a simple Arial "MERCURY" with a drop shadow. The second line is some fancy gothic text that says "Freelance Waterfowl Edition". When I try to put a contour cut around it, it locks the program up. Is...
  14. Edge Quit Printing

    Tonight I printed about 24" of decals with Flexi 8.1 and my Edge LE, and then when I went to print another file it didn't send to the Edge. It shows "online" but acts like it never gets the job. The production manager in Flexi pops up with the screen that shows differences between RIP/print and...
  15. Show your rides?

    Wow, there are a lot of nice vehicles on here. My rides: 2000 F-250 7.3 diesel with a lot of extras, 87 Toyota 4runner rock crawler/beater project, and a 2001 Spartan/Luverne fire truck at my full time job!
  16. Big Squeegee a HUGE Help!

    I would like the code also, I'm looking at ordering a couple to try out! Thanks!
  17. 46 Inch Mutoh Falcon?

    I figured it might be a lost cause. Its a shame though, after talking to the guy Im thinking I could probably pick this thing up for much less than $500. He just wants it out of the way. He said it was just upgraded to pumps with metal gears.
  18. Shadow Question

    I went with the apply shadow and then distort option as reccomended. It isn't the perfect solution, because when you use the arc function under the distort menu it deforms the first and last letters slightly, as in the bottom of my H is now narrower than the top just slightly. But it still looks...
  19. 46 Inch Mutoh Falcon?

    I am looking for a bigger printer to step up to. I currently have a Gerber Edge and I pretty much outgrew it the day I got it. I have found a Mutoh Falcon Outdoor that I can probably get for under $500. The guy said it worked when he flushed and parked it, but he thought the ink may have gelled...
  20. Shadow Question

    Ok, let me see if I can explain this. I am trying to add a block shadow to some lettering that is going on a fire truck. In flexi, if I make all the text and then go to the shadow option, this is what I come up with: Ignore the white highlight, I got rid of that. But if you look at the shadow...
