  1. thinking about going to the apple side

    Okay point taken. I'm terrible with punctuation and organization of my thoughts. Now I wouldn't really say Mac's are better and if I did say that I'm sorry. I don't know if better really works in a conversation about computer manufacturer choice. They are different and in some ways I personally...
  2. thinking about going to the apple side

    Meh I could have gone back and edited that long thought, but this is a forum post not a novel...
  3. thinking about going to the apple side

    I'm not saying I don't have a windows box. Its a custom built system I use as an HTPC at home. But I don't bother repairing my Mac since they do it for free. Also when I say waiting for 5 days, I mean it took 5 days for them to repair and return the system from across the country. Also I hate...
  4. thinking about going to the apple side

    Wow there are a lot of PC fanboys on here. I used to be one of them, But when I went to college and was forced onto a Mac I hated it. But now I don't think I could ever make a Windows system my daily driver again. Wanna know how many times I reset my Mac in the last year? 4 times and all for...
  5. Attaching Letter Track to Polymetal

    Man you guys are awesome! I'm going to take as much of this advice as I can. I'm very interested in Gemini's options. I have talked to the customer and they are very much against metal letter tracks so I think that may be out of the question now. I have not tried rivets on Polymetal but I can't...
  6. Attaching Letter Track to Polymetal

    Just out of curiosity what makes metal letter track better than plastic for this type of install? Is it anything to do with their expansion and contraction? Also is the fact that its not solid metal going to make a difference in that? I'll try calling some more of my suppliers, but so far...
  7. Attaching Letter Track to Polymetal

    Are you suggesting a metal letter track? Where would I even find metal letter track? Is it much more expensive than plastic and how would I then attach them to the painted material?
  8. Attaching Letter Track to Polymetal

    So does anyone have any ideas for attaching letter track to a polymetal panel? I mean we could use screws but when it expands and contracts the letters may not stay in place so well. So if anyone has any ideas I'm open to suggestion. Thanks in advance everyone!
  9. Chalky Painted Surfaces?

    THANKS EVERYONE! Great advice here I must say. So I spoke to the customer again and explained the situation to him, sadly he doesn't own the property and his landlord is not allowing him to paint or make changes to the sign. The customer then put me in contact with the landlord to see what he...
  10. Chalky Painted Surfaces?

    I've got a request from a customer to apply vinyl to their old sign base. My only concern is that the paint is chalky (leaves a powder on your hands). I've tried scrubbing it pretty well before applying and I just seem to be getting more powder from it. Does anyone have any recommendations for...
  11. SAI Flexi Support

    Thanks everyone for attempting to help resolve my issues. Honestly I wasn't looking for help when I posted this, but I'm glad you guys are as kind as you are. Really I was kind of hoping that someone could point me toward a secret phone number or something to actually get a hold of one of their...
  12. SAI Flexi Support

    Crashes Yup that was my first thought as well, I'm positive its not the power settings now. My second idea was page file but nothing else is having issue (i.e. Photoshop, Illustrator, or Corel Draw). I've also tried to see what could be happening in event viewer, but somehow flexi manages to...
  13. SAI Flexi Support

    Issues Currently I am running version 10.0.2. I have been getting support some what from a third party group which I thought was flexi support but they informed me that SAI was moving away from supporting flexi and that they would be doing all the support. I've tried calling that number before...
  14. SAI Flexi Support

    I'm just wondering if SAI is offering any support at all for Flexi 10 anymore? I've tried calling a number of times and got no answer and the only time people answered I got no call back by a tech. The program is full of bugs and other issues yet it doesn't seem like anything is being done to...
  15. Is it time for a new head (or two)?

    I know you should replace a head when it gets that bad. But our black head was that bad very early into my time here at my current shop. At the time we didn't really have the money to spend to replace it so what I did was remove the head and I carefully soaked it in solvent. I made sure not to...
  16. Problem with Lyson ink

    Yeah we've been trying to stick with the Lyson inks for a bit, but so far we've never had one of their cartridges flag the printer as empty. So we've lost a few prints and almost a head from this issue. If you decide to try Lyson be aware that you can't leave a low cartridge in the system while...
  17. Lyson 2000 ink

    We've been running Lyson for a bit, color wise its a great cartridge. But we've had 6 cartridges in 3 different colors, and not a single one of them has flagged our Roland as empty. I wouldn't be so bothered by that if it wasn't for the fact that 2 of them ran out while we were closed for 2 days...
  18. Android Based Sign Software

    A while back someone told me about a free program for the iPhone users called Sign Guru. So I emailed the creators and asked them about porting it to Android and they told me they'd get right on it. Well its been about a month now and today they emailed me to let me know Signguru is officially...
  19. Flexi 10 Coming Soon

    Our owner is in the process of talking with the company we purchased our Flexi upgrade through, but as it stands now its looking like we may head back to 8.6 at this point. They don't have any info on any updates for us and we can't seem to get things working at near the speed we need. So if you...
  20. Flexi 10 Coming Soon

    Flexi 10 issues I recommend calling SAI and leaving a message for Customer service. I think if enough of us complain they will get on it a little faster. So far everyone I've talked to that upgraded seems to being having the same issues. I installed it on my home system which is a quad core...
