I will look them over too. Always good to have a few more vendors in today's climate. Thanks!

We have a winner! I called and they are good to go. Thanks and have a great day.

Unfortunately, this is a one off for the police chief's vehicle and it does not use that much vinyl. I considered it, but felt the markup was a bit high for one of my bread and butter clients.

What I was after specifically was 15" punched 280 reflective in black. My portal only offers 10yd min. I was thinking about calling in to them this morning. Thanks for the research though.

With Grimco slowly buying out all of it's competitors, the latest being Denco (my main supplier and before that Midwest) I am having trouble buying certain vinyls by the yard. In many cases, I can justify buying larger rolls. I have jobs that just cannot justify buying larger rolls that will sit...

Freepik has been promising, but there are not a lot of modern reg cab trucks there. I may have to modify one.

Done that with poor results. Still trying. Thought I would ask here to speed up my efforts. Thanks though.

Hi, I have a project that will need a side shot of a newer F250 regular cab truck. This pic is not for a template but for a layout on another vehicle. Do any of you have go to sources for a nice squared up side view of a newer Ford F250 regular cab trucks? Thanks, T

One of its stripes is falling off. Thank ain't good!

Maybe a bit of an outlier, but I use Gerber Omega. But, I also have Illustrator and Photoshop in my arsenal. I agree about Flexi and only use it's RIP software when printing. Ultimately, it will end up being the one that isn,t buggy and you get used to and can use quickly and intuitively.

You and I have lived a similar sign career. I am now 55. I was in bed with Gerber since 95 and still use their software to this day. I have Flexi for RIP, Illustrator to open certain files when sent to me from designers among other types of software. I find Gerber Omega to be an excellent vector...

Interesting how this thread has evolved over the last couple of years.

I have had and still have Gerber GS15+ and an EdgeFX. They work along side my HP 315 and Graphtec. There are just certain things the the FX could do that my large format printer could not like print on clear and do real short runs fast with no need of laminate and less waste. That aside, I am so...

You can import your Corel and Ilustrator files into Omega and cut from there. Again, your software is fine. I use mine daily and believe I make some pretty nice stuff. I also use Omega to design vector files for my cnc. Vcarve just is not that good compared to Omega when designing, at least...

What version of software? Gerber Graphics Advantage or Omega? I still use Omega version 7 and find it very capable. Upgrades are reasonable and run on my Win10 64bit just fine. As far as the GS15+, start with cleaning it. All that gunk on the sprockets will encourage the roll to jump. Clean the...

I have Gerber Omega 6.5 and have been using Gerber GA & Omega for 20+ years. The jump from 4 to 6/7 is really not that bad. Since you are not printing, Gerber has a cut only version of the software. I like the print features for design, but then again I have printers. I am currently running a...

There are several sensors. Some that identify if the vinyl is on the spool. You may need to test the sensor (continuity) to make sure it works. I had build up of dust on the sensor that homes the spool. Cleaned it and good to go. Basically, that is probably what you will need to do. Find...

Welcome. I too straddled the divide between tech and traditional. Much of my work will still reflect my knowledge and experience in both. I too am a one man shop and tech has allowed that to be so. Glad to hear there is another one out there like myself. Cheers!

Like Signsvisual and Johnny Best, avoid any cleaner that will leave detergents behind. We use 70% isopropyl alcohol as the final cleaning solution then rapidtac for the wet app. I never have used B Free. I have only used 3M or Avery. Mostly 3M. If you do have moisture trapped, you can poke a...

The only time that I have done this was with a sign located in a dark skies ordinance. Backgrounds had to be darker in contrast to the letters. It turned out nice, but very subtle. Top speed on this street was 15mph and mostly walking traffic, so it worked for the environment. My point...there...
