It switched on/off manually. There is a menu that says "on".

If we talking about back ups, here is proper way to do it. (comes from the guy with 20 years in IT world) It's cheapest way to get the most bang for your bucks. -------SETUP--------------------- 1. Get "Buffalo Linkstation, 2 bay drive" (about $100 on Amazon) It plugs into your router and you see it as a network drive in your windows. Supports basic security such as Folders and access per user. You can set it up so each user only sees his folder so children can not accidentally delete your staff. 2. 2 hard drives. Does not need to be anything fancy. 1 TB each will be good for many of us. Anything less probably not worth it. (Western Digital is a good choice) about $80 each. 3. Configure 2 drives as RAID1 in Linkstation. It will mirror them. You will see them as 1TB Drive. But if one fails you can recover data form another one. 4. Any Backup solution that supports external service such as Amazon S3, Dropbox, Google drive, ... ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benefits: 1. Local drive is much faster than external service. It will take you whole day to recover 1 Gigabyte of data from DropBox. All those external services only good if you have fire in the office and your local back up is gone as well as your primary. 2. Buffalo mirroring guarantees you that if one drive fails you still can get your data from second drive. 3. Buffalo will sits next to your router and you are not touching/moving it (ever). Flash drives, movable storage is not good for back up. They small and you can easily drop,lose, step on them. They will fail much faster especially if they have normal hard drives (not SSD). Normal hard drives have moving heads that actually hit the surface of magnetic disc when you shake it.

I have a question about this, How is the border done? Is metallic vinyl layered on top of another vinyl? I am not sure if the heat transfer vinyl sticks well to another vinyl? thanks.

When you click cut button the window shows you the preview and there's an arrow that shows direction of the vinyl. Also do not use wysywig mode.

I have no problems with win 10 and scalp3. BUT remember to deactivate your scalp and find your serial number before you upgrade. Scalp will be in trial mode once you upgrade.

Just to add, Imagine your monitor has 1024 pixels width and 728 pixels high. So normal picture (photograph) is a command to paint pixel with coordinate (3,5)(3,6),(3,7),...(3,77) with color green. So you get a picture of a green line that visually is 1 inch long ( on monitor with 72 DPI, hence from 5 to 77, 72 pixels = 1 inch.). But if you try to print it, since printers usually have much higher DPI, those commands will produce a green line that is visibly much shorter than 1 inch. PS: modern printing software is smart enough and extrapolates picture so the final result on a printer has same look of green line 1 inch long. Vector pictures are a bit different. Vector graphics are commands to draw green line from position (0.5 inch, 0,5 inch) to (0.5 inch, 1.5 inch) Those commands will produce green line 1 inch long no matter which device you using them on. And that is why vector images scale so easily. You just multiply all coordinates by needed ratio.

Pixel is the smallest unit of the device. Just imagine the paper and you putting dots on it next to each other. (Without overlapping). One dot is one pixel. Since pen has fixed size you can fit so many dots per inch. Its called DPI. Dots per inch. Your monitor has 72 DPI.( standard size, or 96 DPI on newer monitors). So any picture 72 pixels wide will be 1 inch wide on your monitor. Your printer has 600 DPI. So same picture when printed will be only 0.15 inch wide. Normal pictures (like photographs)done with pixels. Vector images done with lines in inches (or centimeters) So vector images will look the same regardless device they are looked at. Normal pictures needs to be programmatically (mathematically) shrinked/stretched in order to look the same on different devices ( monitors/printers). Hope that helps.

Sorry, yes, regular vinyl. Did not pay attention. There is no transfer tape with htv. So no video

I had great success with so called 'reversed weeding'. It when you put vinyl on transfer tape and weed it there.

How do you install it? Right click on font file and select "install"?

My friend want a sticker on his normal/wooden door in the room. This is a vinyl. http://www.uscutter.com/Creative-Films-PRIME-SERIES-24-by-10yd-Metallic-Film-011-Coarse-Brushed-Gold Should I expect any problem? Thanks

Upgraded my computer to Windows 10 and now SureCuts wants to register again. Unfortunately i had gotten the serial # with my cutter so their website can not find my serial # by email. The same goes with SignBlazer except there is no site anymore to register.... Is there a cure? Thanks

In order to succesfully sue you outback will need to proof that customers confusing your outback with their's which is impossible in your case.

As long as its different theme you'll be okay. Outback is plain English word and can not be trademarked. Law allows to trademark 'use' meaning you can not open restaurant with this name but storage company is fine.

It's cost effective. Here is breakdown. 1. You get discount when print label online. 2. You get tracking # and it's in a computer. So you can always find it. It helps with all dispute/problems or simply customer's service. When 3 days later they want to know if you ship package or not. 3. you do not stand in line at the post office. Time is money. And actually more than money cause i do not know how to earn time if i need it. From my experience it matters how you present yourself and your business. If you play it small and write mailing addresses with a sharpie you will be doing it for all your life. Once you show yourself out there as big reputable company you will have a chance to become one (even if you one guy operation now).
