It has been brought to my attention, if you download my "Google Sheets" spreadsheet and open it with Excel, there are some issues that completely break it. Excel doesn't recognize the rounding syntax Google uses. To solve it you'll need to modify a few cells on a hidden page. Go to the bottom...

Haha, gotta keep it user friendly. I've got so many spreadsheets, I've got my own format I usually stick with. So even on something random like this I try to make it match Thanks for letting me know! I've got a couple other spreadsheets that could be useful, but I'll need to modify them a...

I was bored too... lol. Here's what I came up with. It doesn't support cost. I've got that covered with another, much better spreadsheet. But it will tell you how much material you'll need for a certain job. This might be nice to have for a large job of magnets. To quickly tell you how much...

I know the issue. A workaround I've found is to find a tool whos flyout does actually work. Click and hold on that tool, then glide your mouse to the tool you're trying to activate. It should become selectable. It was quite annoying. I haven't had the problem with X8. Happened often with X7 for me

Our shop just got a VG540 last week. We went double CMYK - The type of printing we do is typically less photographic and more industrial. We had to take the increased speed, it's just more logical for our setup. So yes the grey suffers... We've run a SP-300, and currently still run a SP-540...

For those that are curious, this is the formula under the hood L = (Pi/4)(T²-C²)/M C = Core Diameter M = Material Thickness T = Total Roll Diameter Basically, the best thing about the spreadsheet is that you only have to input the variables once, and it saves them forever. I've got mine...

That's not quite the purpose of this tool..but I do have an advanced spreadsheet that does extreme breakdowns of costs per production, that includes overhead, employees, etc. =)

Hey guys, I had a little tool I thought could be useful to share. I'm not sure if there's something quite like this that people use (Customizable)- If there is, I've missed it. I've made a "calculator" (Google Spreadsheet) to determine how much material is left on a roll of vinyl (or whatever...

I haven't thought about it. I've got it tailored to our particular set of services. I think it's easy to operate, but under the hood... it wouldn't be very easy to modify for anyone other than me. If I can get some time, maybe I'll make a YouTube video showing it's functionalities. You could...

I use Google Sheets (spreadsheet). I've built, what I consider, a very comprehensive spreadsheet that utilizes scripting. It considers all overhead, employee costs (wage/work-speed/efficiency), material costs (including stuff like ink usage), It uses averages I have observed of "sq ft/hour" for...

I do really like the idea of the "font playground" in X8. Problem is, I have too many fonts.... I'll never have time to categorize them all manually. Which sucks because I would say this is probably the selling point for upgrading. Like Bobby H said, there are some upgraded effects that I...

I was gonna post exactly this.

Something I think is pretty cool, Using a google account you can get a free google-voice phone number (even using your local area code). I give this number to people who want to send me a photo, but aren't smart enough to figure out how to email from their iPhone123s++. That way I don't...

We run a Roland-Cut/Print with VersaWorks. Why do you ask?

To be honest, I had never tried cutting directly from Corel. I was convinced you needed to use a plug-in of some sort. Whether it was the Plotter manufacturer's, or a 3rd party's. I have tried it now, and I really don't like it, lol. But - I'm probably just not used to it. It seems there's no...

Is it just me, or is Cutting master 3 totally garbage? We've had a new Graphtec for about a year now, it's a decent machine, but the software to run it makes it look bad. I prefer to use my 15 year old Summa because it's so much faster to setup/read material and Winplot just crushes Cutting...

I thought about this when I read the other thread. It sounds absurd, but looking back... It's kind of how my dad started our business. :smile: (1998) But, we primarily worked out of our house. We went to car shows on the weekends. My dad Airbrushed T-Shirts, and made decals for all the car...

LMAO. People don't realize the power we hold. :thumb:

Gahh, been there. Admittedly, we're often a little too trusting of people here, when it comes to payment. I've learned that if the job is for a special weekend event (a one time use kinda thing), definitely take payment before anything, no matter the price. Learned enough that they'll miss the...

Awesome virtual tours! It's cool to see how other folks work! No actual photos, but here's our shop layout. It's definitely messier than depicted, lol. The image size limit is a bit strict. But I think the important stuff is identifiable. edit: Here's a link to a better image...
