Hmmm. Same, but I dont do signwriting for a living.. yet. Working on it. Have a few graf mates who do it now. One still does his work with cans, no brushes, no computers... Been about 15+ years now for me.

Actually, i just wrote a little test app to kind of do what you want. Turns out its not quite as easy as I thought! Using an example of 1 - 10, you pick a random number, then save it to your file. Next time, you pick a random number, check to see if its in the file, if it is you pick a new...

I might be able do something for you. You can save numbers to a file, really simple but if you searching the file to look for an existing random number, then lots of numbers = lots of time to search. If you use a small database, then the search is quicker but the program is a lot more...

For windows? How many numbers do you expect to keep track of? Can you give an example of the numbers/letters you want?

frame extraction, isn't that just offset path in illustrator? ie with text, ctrl shift o to convert to outline then object->path->offset path. when I click on finecuts frame extraction, thats all it seems to do.

cant you just download it?

I have signcut pro but it does not work on windows 7 very well, so I have reverted back to using the mimaki supplied plugin for illustrator. I used to like signcut, because I also use inkscape a lot and it supported that nativly, however I rarely touch inkscape these days and if I do I export...

Only USB to serial converter I have ever used with any success is the ones using FTDI chipset. Not sure where you would buy them in the US, but there is an aussie mob that sells them online called dontronics.

Did you get this working? Any more specific detail on the error itself?

What a load of shit. To deny some one medical attention because they have a dental issue??? Surely this cant be serious? I have never heard such rubbish in my life... I wonder if the people who make these calls have had friends or family in the same situation.. Clearly not.... I am not loaded...

Ladies and Gents, I dont really get the US health system. Perhaps someone can explain for us lucky people. Why do we need to donate? I will donate, I just dont understand why.

I am sure you have read plenty of it with no substance. I understand your frustration. I have already learned a valuable lesson buying a redsail plotter (ie dont buy one), but at the same time I have learned truckloads about vector drawings during that whole discovery process. My apologise if I...

That guys work is brilliant.

Thanks, makes me feel like an apprentice again! I am not sure what the quality of apprentices is like these days (have not had one for a while) but I gave it all away when I could not find one that was not interested in anything but getting paid. I am genuinley interested in learning the...

So because I can use a computer I immediatly have 'no real artist ability'?

This is true. Thanks to everyone who was welcoming. So I have since spent a bit of time researching price (I was actually planning to go and by the price guide that a lot of sign suppliers sell prior to signing up here) and turns out that may actually be charging above industry rates. For the...

Wow, so many negative responses. I figured from reading other repsonses here I might get the same. Fitch, I am learning from a real signwriter who has about 20 years experience. I am not sure I am taking money away from anyone, as I said the clubs are places that couldn't afford a...

I'm in Brisbane.

Hi. My name is Andy. Currently I am a partner in a software consulting business. I have long had an interest in graphic design and signwriting. Over the last few years I have made a point of learning Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape and Signcut Pro. I bought a cheap Redsail RS720 plotter, and...
