  1. Font ID for Bepanthen Packaging?

    Thank you!
  2. Font ID for Bepanthen Packaging?

    Hi Y'all, Does anyone know what the 'bepanthen' font is? Thanks, John
  3. EPS File Too Big. Can I Make it smaller?

    Open in Illustrator and re-save as an earlier version (Illustrator 10).
  4. Rollover vs Rollsroller

    Seriously, don't go anywhere near this manufacturer.
  5. Software for Summa Plotter?

    Pretty sure the Mac version isn't free, but I hope you can prove me wrong. I ended up purchasing a cheap pc laptop to run the cutters for this very reason. It was about a year ago that I contacted Phil regarding Mac software on the cutter they shipped me, so maybe (hopefully) something has...
  6. Hi from Milano, Italy

    Ciao! Molti anni fa avevo una ragazza da Monza... e ho abitato a Perugia per un anno... ancora io manco il tuo paese bellissimo...
  7. Looking to Buy Foster Evolutions E2 104" Cutter Place for BEST PRICE?

    The price on these don't really move much, if at all. If you find any that are priced lower than list, with free shipping, consider yourself lucky. I eventually found some site that had the 120" $150 lower than list, but they corrected the error right after I bought it (and still honored the...
  8. Making any money working for someone?

    To me, there is nothing necessarily inconsistent with the OP's question. One may own a side business in addition to being an employee. At least, that is my present employment situation. I imply from the question that the OP is thinking about making the jump, mainly in the hopes of increasing...
  9. Making any money working for someone?

    At a straight 40 hour workweek, that is $33.65 an hour. So no, it isn't likely, especially as print continues to become more and more just a commodity. Even if you hit that salary as a manager at a larger firm, you'll be the first on the chopping block when down times hit. The key to making...
  10. Anyone else been extorted?

    All you need to do is google the text of the 'this is encrypted' popups. Malwarebytes is good, but bleepingcomputer.com will often have step-by-step removal instructions. If you find your problem in the bleepingcomputer.com forum (and you probably will), then follow the instructions very, very...
  11. cutting plotter converted into LED laser cutter, possible...?

    It's a silly idea, but if you like to experiment and tinker with things then go for it. Air assist and air evacuation is essential, especially if you want to cut rubber-based materials. Even then, it stinks and is not something you'd want to try at home or in closed quarters. The other poster...
  12. Pop-up displays

    That's just the nature of the industry. Rough handling on the show floor and damage in shipping is very common. Most booth staffers have no idea how to handle those oversized graphic panels and end up jamming them in the case. I don't believe the materials you are using are the problem. Those...
  13. Supplier for colored mirror chrome vinyl?

    Great, thanks for the tip... I see that Schein has a lot of unique vinyls out-of-the-box. I only have an aqueous printer, so unfortunately I can't print color onto a chrome vinyl (but that would be perfect if I could - darn!).
  14. Supplier for colored mirror chrome vinyl?

    Oracal has a nice silver and gold mirror chrome vinyl, but can anyone recommend a US supplier of colored mirror chrome vinyl? This will NOT be used for car wraps, and the thinner the better (but I'll consider anything). Thanks, John
  15. Rotary Trimmer

    The Keencut is the one you want, not the rotary.
  16. Looking for real world experienced opinions of quality laminator

    You have been warned: My 10' x 5' arrived with just under 50" of a useable flat surface along the width. The remaining 10" at the edges are bowed and the roller doesn't contact the surface. 'Maggie', the company rep, said 'oops... sorry.' Then, when I pressed, they said the laminator wasn't...
  17. Importing Laminator Direct From China?

    Don't do it. I have personal experience.
  18. New Member in Northern Ca, gearing up.

    Don't rule out calling Summa to see if they have any leads on older, used T-series cutters, scouring government auction sites, or calling local sign shops that may have been thinking about updating their equipment (but didn't really know it until you called). I bought a 15-year old, 54" T from...
  19. New Member in Northern Ca, gearing up.

    If you feel that your primary money-making product will be in thicker media, then I think you'll want to get a Summa T-series cutter. The 'T' stands for tangental, so the head rotates with the direction of the cut. Unfortunately, they don't come up often on ebay or craigslist, but you can expect...
  20. Installations in the City...Union?

    If it's a trade show venue, then that's trouble, especially in NYC. Other than that, you should be fine.
