    VinylExpress R Series II R31 - Driver, cutting problems

    While I have No Clue Whatsoever regarding the specific software/cutter combination you mention, I do have a suggestion, see if it works --- Install the program SignBlazer. http://www.mystat.com/Signblazer.zip It contains good RedSail drivers, and just by installing the application, it might very well provide the needed "push" to get the other program VMP to talk with the machine properly. Worth a shot, costs nothing.

    Late night work sessions?

    I close the door behind me at the store and walk away at 6. Bankers' hours. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=banker%27s%20hours

    Real Estate Sign

    I have seen the entire sign (post AND panel, with full-color graphics) offered online for less than my discounted cost for just the post from my wholesale sign supply warehouse. Real estate people are very demanding, need things done INSTANTLY, they monopolize your time, and are hardly worth the bother, in my experience.

    started my own business

    It says "Four" Kings but there are only three crowns featured. Where is that fourth King? That's a lot of work you've done, considering you "Just Started" Also, whatever happened to your MH cutter with the operating glitch? Did you get that sorted out?

    Is this illegalv

    There is a famous story about an Israeli-born guy who started a computer company in the USA. His name was Uzi Nissan. You can go to Nissan.com (yep) and read about his legal troubles.

    plotter resets on its own

    Hmmmmmm, Trinidad & Tobago. I am going to take a shot in the dark here and say that you have a POWERLINE issue. In my humble opinion, the mains voltage is not staying consistent, and is either surging or dropping.

    Got organized!

    The free-standing vinyl rack (holds 44) is excellent, I couldn't function without it For those who have a bit of floor space, and long rolls, this roller rack might be good

    Hello we are new here.

    Hi. Two years ago, I bought the basic MH unit and opened my own sign store with it. Just yesterday, two clients came in with jobs ---- and I pocketed $560 cash. I tell you this, because at some point, you might want to switch from just "having a blast" to "having a bigger bank account" I don't do graphics. I only deal with Instant computer-cut lettering. My clients have something to say on their signs, in plain English. "Spaghetti Dinner" (Church) "Marble & Granite" (quarry) "MEGA Yard Sale" (private yard sale) "Mobile Grooming" (dog washing) "Hogs" (farm) "Tag & Title" (office) etc etc etc.

    Help Help! Everything I send to cutter is cutting tiny!

    And who says that size doesn't matter? !!!!!!
  13. Funny stuff -- thanks for the laughs!!! The "Jet Fuel Only" decal gives me some inspiration to try and make it look like an Air Force jet, with approriate markings.

    looking for a pencil with eraser ?

    The Draw -- Library (Symbols -- General ) contains a pencil stub (SIGNBLAZER) With a little ingenuity, it's possible to add length to it.
  15. Can I make a request? I have an ASTRO van, and cannot for the life of me figure out what graphics would look good on it. Would you, Todd (or anyone who wants to take a crack at it) provide a mockup image of what you would like to see on this van? I probably should have started a new thread for this, and I apologize in advance about hijacking this one.

    I didn't look carefully at the title and thought this thread was about C ats. Nevermind...
  20. Let me weigh in here -- First of all, the amount of money being discussed seems relatively miniscule, and as a matter of principle, if I were in your shoes, I would simply say that I'll DONATE $120 in advance to ABATE ($10 a month) and then make it known that I'll informally keep track of the proceeds from the decals over the coming year, and if it turns out that I've profited more than $1000, then I will just make up the difference in the coming year, while continuing the arrangement of making decals as needed.
  21. Weird, the national ABATE logo is not being utilized as-is for all chapters. They all have their own thing going on, some with variations of the national logo, some with completely different graphics.
