Welcome to the real world. Sometimes the turn-around on getting art files from companies is just silly. Other times, it just doesn't happen at all. We all have ran into this kind of crap before. The one I love is getting the 'Oh, it's in the header of our website. Just take it from there. What...

If at first you don't succeed, turn up the heat (Wattage).

$80k? Wow. http://www.motiontek.ca/products.html The L96 is 4'x8'. I don't remember what the clearance is. I've seen the L36 in action. It is a great unit, and the cost comparatively to the 'big brands' is crazy-competitive.

Become a contributing member too. That helped me tons. Lots more private help.

Here's the real problem -- Are these customers you want? They want these signs for $2-$3 bucks. Its these same customers that will more likely than not want any other work at pennies above cost. What I always do in a case like this, is I'll hook them up with someone I know who can meet the...

You should look into getting a color-managed workspace (IE:- profiling). It's gonna save you a lot of heartaches in the long run. Really though, as a sign maker, the profiling isn't near as bad as a paper print shop -- Print shops could have upwards of 40-60 types of paper, all with its own way...

There are automatic USB switches out there, but they can be absolute monsters when they want to, especially anything with bidirection communications -- Usually don't work properly or causes havoc. And whatever you do, DON'T send two jobs at once. LOL. As mentioned above, just get a third cheap...

Ran CS3 on V64 for a long while. I didn't even have to do anything with the plugin folder myself; Just had to remember to install them into the right directory if there was a self-extracting installer. No other problems. Just keep in mind that likely since you got 64bit, you have 4GB memory; CS3...

You do the design in CMYK or RGB? I tend to see that in RGB usually -- I'll usually pre-convert if I'm looking for (near-)perfect greys.

Wow. What a price.

Wait until the 10" Mac tablet comes out. ;) That'll smarten up Wacom ;) I dream of the small and large Cintiq all the time -- But them I realize that the small Cintiq's price, I can have a nice tabletPC, and for the large Cintiq, I don't know how the heck I would rig the screen so that I didn't...

Wow. Wish I could find deals like that up here. (BTW -- Anyone who does have deals, PM me :) )

Until I learned a few tricks; A few times. Since? None. Wait... You can ignore? Sweet! *adds as well* You might be doing what I was doing at first; I was staring at 'Transmission' buffer, not packet size. :D Packet size is greyed out by default; It's not a dropdown in 7.0, but it is a...

I doubt it is true. There'd likely be legal implications of such an act on your system, whether or not their 'ToS/EULA' states so. In all honesty, it really does not make a lick of sense anyways -- It would make no sense to 'protect' the entire drive from copying; As been proven, there is easier...

I'd swoop it up in a heartbeat so long as it is running smooth.

I'll have to try that; Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried tweaking the Optimize distance, and doesn't help with the jumping around at all; Trying to sort the letters into layer order didn't work; Nor did giving each its own layer and sorting the layers. You'd figure there'd be a way to set a...

I prefer 3M over Avery. Even current Avery vinyl seems to be squirrly for applying and working with compared to 3M. 3M is smooth as butter to me :) I do, however, want to try Arlon and Oracal; The issue is that the company that does Arlon nearby is hard as hell to get ahold of - Harder to get...

*polite bump* Any suggestions by anyone per chance? It's really bugging me.

Hello all! I've been using flexi for a while. I don't mind it for doing cut vinyl for the most part (Except it trashing EPS files every once in a while, but that's another topic.) Here's my question. I hate Flexi's 'Optimize Cutting Order', mostly because it is too restrictive (confining your...

One other thing I saw right-off; Your gremlins could be in the USB-Serial dongle. If you read here some, you'll see some people have a heck of a time with some brands and such being bad timing. Having been a scale technician before and needing precise timing on the serial connection, those USB...
