If price is a big concern, just know you'll also need PrimeCenter because contour bleeds aren't part of VisualRIP, so it's gonna be a bit pricey. You probably know the license cost of VisualRIP already (and/or CalderaCare license). That's already pricey enough for a small operation. And the...

I haven't used Onyx before so I can't give you any comparison there -- just pointing out that you can get extended demo time with Caldera if you ask them (which I think is necessary for RIP software because it's hard to fully test such an application when you've already got a busy schedule --...

I've got one of those too, but I haven't used it in forever. It's very finicky, and rethreading those "fangs" is a PITA. Maybe one of these years I'll get around to tuning it since I know a lot more about sewing machines than I did in 2008 when I first got it. :P

I've been sewing for about 15 years. Sewn hems are very fast to produce, really strong, and very inexpensive compared to adhesives (I mean, we're only talking about the cost of thread). With sewing you can add webbing, D and O rings, reinforcements, etc... things a welder can't do. My...

60 day demo... or longer if you ask for it. Mine was 120 days before I finally purchased it.

TransferRite AirMask is perfect for it.

I don't run a latex, but I think it's the same principle. When you run double-sided prints, the first side is getting heated and stretched (media tensioner), so your media has changed size by the time you run it back through the printer. For me (on my eco-sol), heavier inks = more absorption...

Yep... the dongle "is" the license, so you'd have to purchase another full copy.

I never had any banners pull apart with a chain stitch, but they always had grommets.

I wouldn't go to through the hassle of modifying a machine like that either (expensive and likely to cause more problems than it solves). Swapping bobbins is just part of the process with lock stitch machines. I suggest boosting your banner sales first, and if the sales are very good AND you're...

If you can get your humidity down low enough, it will be a lot more comfortable. My commercial dehumidifier worked so well at the shop that I set up a similar system at home. I used to keep the thermostat at 72F (approx 55% humidity), but with the dehumidifier (set at 40%) it feels cool and...

Prime Center is powerful, and very capable, but it does have a bit of learning curve. Definitely talk to the Caldera tech support to set up an appointment time (they'll happily remote in and configure things for your demo) -- BUT you'll want to prepare a task list for them in advance (e.g. a...

I used the Snip tool forever... but I got tired of pasting images into Illustrator for annotations / highlights / etc., so I tested out a variety of 3rd party apps. ShareX is awesome -- tons of functionality. My favorite feature is the file sharing integration (it can be linked up to imgur...

You'll need a reliable printer, vinyl plotter, laminator, RIP station, etc... a good stockpile of media / laminate / ink... and a proper workspace (temp / humidity control, storage racks, worktables, proper lighting, etc). By the time you figure in other things like your software licenses...

What are you doing that requires you to log in 10x per day? S101 is very good about keeping folks logged in for extended periods -- I almost never have to log in. Implementing 2FA won't change this functionality. In any case, a good password manager and 2FA app is incredibly easy to setup and...

It looks like a font + glyphs + custom strokes. Font recognition tools might get close on some of the basic letters, but no font will give you all the elements for a complete design like that (at least not out of the box). Font recognition tools won't recognize glyphs either. Chances are...

Sorry to disappoint, but it's not realistic for (what I assume to be) your startup venture. The companies that make a go of web-to-print setups are those that already have high volume and a small team of developers and a sizeable investment in marketing (at the very least). As a developer and...

Hello! Sure, I'll take 'em!

No supports required for ACM. Screws every 18" is fine. ACM is preferred since it's so much more durable than coro -- but if you do go coro, use 10mm stock and countersink the screws to prevent puckering.

I don't think it's possible with Caldera (I've tried in the past). Best to use a separate app or plugin for straight cut vinyl work.
