What drivers would you suggest for a Copam 2500 and the same version of Flexi?

My point is that the work space is constricted to a predefined size. Making it more work to design in true 1:1 scale and be forced to then reinvent the wheel for cutting.. The only time this is needed is when cutting, not designing. I'm asking if there is an option to eliminate this constraint somewhere. I found Omega to be the best program to date. I'm most experienced with CAD programs so I'm pre-conceptual. If you've never used AutoCAD you'll not know what I mean. If I could afford Omega I would buy it.

If your using Windows to open the files try another program like WnRar or WinZip instead. I use WinRar and it opened them fine. My 2cts

I grew up on early AutoCAD and find most of these sign programs no better than Paint prog's. Been using Omega for years and it's the best I've ever seen for sign making. Is there a program out there that can do the same? Flexi is close but is not as good. Keep in mind I design in 1:1 scale. I don't need this page BS at all. Changing the page size/turning off the boarder makes it even more a PITA.

You'll get the hang of it. It takes practice to lay down vinyl with no bubbles, initial or post install, wet or dry.

I'm not the best at spelling and become used to built in spell checking in most of the web sites I frequent. Why isn't there a built in spell checker here? Or am I missing something?

Installed Firefox and so much better now. IE is a POS,

Sounds like it got you. As I previously posted, I don't rely on only one anti virus program, and I will not boot from the infected drive for a clean up. In your case I'd be looking for the source of the infection until a solution is given to you.

Been there tried that, thank you no. I have a mac and it's worthless for what I need.

Thanx for the replies. I didn't want to load any more programs into this machine but given the choice I'll go with Firefox. Been using it for years in my home computer.

Your right, but even applying wet takes practice. I guess we learned differently. Either way I think you'll agree that patience is most important. I Stll say clean the surface with prepsol. It's safer to use than paint thinners and such.

Ya'll had it pass over head. Pay attention now. If you have a virus scanner that gives you the ability to create a live CD you can boot from eliminating the need to boot from the hard drive infected, you can boot from the disk and scan the infected hard drive and eliminate the threat. The disk is created thrugh the antivirus program using Bart PE. It creates a WinXP live CD. I've been using Kaspersky for years and find it works 99.9% of the time.

OK, now we know it's a painted surface being applied to and the largest graphic is 20x20". clean the surface with prepsol and apply the vinyl dry the old scool way.

Now thats advertising.

Never thought to setup a mechine to cut corners. Always picked something with the correct radius and cut it freehand. I guess this woud be considered old school.

I'll only try a link once. Didn't work for me, I move on.

Sometimes it is worth it. Thanx for the link.

Just a thought, did you try making a live CD preconfigured for virus hunting so as not to boot from the infected drive? I had nasty little buggers evade me untill I started using this method. Also I use more than one program for virus hunting. My 2cts.

If you mean blade offset, it is there in the spooler advanced setup.

I'd welcome cortracts like these. Done many in the past competively. Always consider the liifespan of the signage.

I finally unpacked and assembled the cutter.(Pro 720) Only powerd up and did a self test cut since it's not hooked to a computer yet. Thanx to the info I read in this forum I knew what to check out of the box and found that the carrage was off it's track and fixed it before anything bad happened.

Just a very small aount of soap. Talking drops to a quart. I've lettered 53' trailers dry, if nothing works, give it a try.

I've cut miles of reflective in the past and don't understand your question. What brand vinyl are you using and what layer are you talking about?

Give the customer the option. If their willing to pay for the premium then so be it. I've not had a customer come back and say they bought the wrong vinyl in over 20 years. I's a judgment call. Don't give them what they ask for, give them what they want.

Geat link, Thanx. Any good deals on teflon?
