Thanks Fred. I may try the Fedron thing first. If I totally ruin it, I'll get the replacement. Is it a difficult thing to replace ?

Are you sure the file is zipped ? I think Win 7 will unzip it. Once you have just the file, bring it into Flexi and you will get the vectors

Recently I noticed that the platen on my plotter is looking like a buildup of something. It looks almost sticky or gooey. When I touch it, it's not sticky. So, I want to clean it. Years ago in another life, I used Fedron ( a cleaning fluid ). It would clean and rejuvenate the platens. I'm afraid...

Thanks Mike That did the trick. It was in my instructions as the last step, but didn't do it. I have to learn to read Thanks

If you choose to use double sided tape as Visual suggest, then consider how your going to mount them, You can't use a standard Gemini pattern because once the standard pattern is on the wall (all paper) how will you attach the letter to wall? You need a spacing or tic pattern. This is a pattern...

Studs are the only way. Double sided tape will eventually fall off. I always print a line drawing on paper before I order the letters. It's usually a larger job, so it pays to bring the paper printout to the customer. You get, as well as the customer, to see what it may look like. This is your...

Recently, I replaced the cut carriage cable on my Versacamm. All works well now, but since then, I can't get the sheet cut to work. Problem: When I press sheet cut, the carriage moves to the left as normal. It stops almost all the way to the left and then creeps a little further. There is a...

Why can't you do it on the outside ? As long as the weather is above 40deg , it can be done. According to the weather channel, looks like in your area, Mon is 50, Tues is 49... Seems to me your creating a problem for yourself... and alot of unnecessary stress

I assume this is a Roland ? A few years ago, I had the same problem. The tech gave me the procedure to set the carriage back in place, but warned that it may be caused by the "cut carriage cable" That's what it turned out to be. Do you have other error messages such as "pinch roller error" If...

If it's plastic, it's probably low energy plastic like a football helmet. Regular vinyl won't stick. I'm not sure if wrapping film will. Convex vinyl is made for it. Maybe one of the motorcross guys can guide you to what they use. I definitely would test it first before committing

Started using Durabond ( double faced Aluminum Composite) This past summer, we covered and existing monument sign with it by holding it in place with a few screws and lettered it with vinyl. It looked great. Today I go by and it looks someone beat it up with a baseball bat. Looking closer...

Why would you give him measurements just slightly larger than the actual size? If someone else does the job and finds out it's an inch too big when installing it, it's easy to cut off the inch. If you give a smaller size, it won't be so easy to add it. Give him enough of a smaller size that it...

How do you shock charge them back to life ?

After the 3rd time in a month, a customer gave me a PMS number and it's not on my chart. So it's time for a new one. I think I should get a set that has coated and coated and includes a bridge... never had one of those. Question is where to buy it from and most importantly, how do I know if it's...

Nobody has a source ?

Retired English teacher am yer ?

Anyone know of a good source for logo mats I used 2 companies in the past, one was great, one was garbage, and I can't remember who they were. I prefer a company that just focuses on mats and not someone that a does a little of everything Thanks

I don't want to throw a wet blanket over it but... Before I was in the sign biz full time, I spent over 20 years servicing electro-mechanical equipment like gerber I thought it would be a snap. After screwing around with it for 2 days, I gave up and bought the shocks from Gerber. They went in...

So, are you saying you worked for another sign shop and took your boss's files with you Or... you were working at another sign shop and was using your boss's equipment and software to do your own side jobs Either way, doesn't seem right
