Abigail cut amazing yesterday. Thank you for asking, sorry it took so long.

Fascinating thread, thank you all.
Dumb person, aka me, forgot to clean lens (mirrors and encoder strips yes, lens, no) for a very long time. Finally noticed it, cleaned it, and I have two half-moon...

Thanks, all! I plan to keep the laptop as the new and improved work horse, and avoid changing my WinXP/CDx3/epilog setup. I need to create x8 files, and then bring them over to the older computer....

Hello all.
We are getting a brand spanking new laptop soon, it will have Windows 10 installed on it. CorelDrawx8 is the latest greatest version, apparently, which is what we will be purchasing. My...

Thanks very much, Bert! Did you use a vector setting, as opposed to a raster? I'm assuming yes? I wonder if my 60watt epilog would work...

Rowmark or equivalent black/matte clear. Laser the graphic, and back up with coloured vinyl.
Lasering paint is pretty stinky. Lasered a large steel sound panel supplied by a sound studio, very...

Hi Tami
It's probably too late to change anything, but I, a decidedly non-techie person, was able to change out the tube myself. I have an Epilog, but Trotec servcie department should be able to...

Customer supplied us with 0.5" thick cut-out chrome-plated brass letters/Logotype. We had previously sold them to the customer for a proto-type, and they wanted to use them for a "floating" set. Yes,...

LOL, I've heard the opposite, that cast cuts better than it engraves. That has also been my experience, I find extruded gets a little more warped/ugly looking.
That said, can you increase your...

I always exported out of Corel as a plt. If you export it full size, bring it in at half-size, and then scale up. Make sure whichever way you check the box (sometimes one way works, sometimes the...

could you spray it with something first? I haven't tried paper, so zero experience, just paper mask for postioning.
Maybe letting the paper get moist, not damp, first?
Maybe increase the humidity...

There's a magnet, little one, on the left side (home) of the machine head. Sits to the left of the encoder. It's the "stop" for the x axis. If it gets dirty, things get ugly. Clean, clean, and clean...

Always interesting reading. For my experience, the only time CerMark has worked perfectly is when I'm making small sample pieces, that make no money.
Actual work pieces? Never.
No idea why, we do...

Hi Guys, it's been a while.
Still greatly enjoying this forum, usually find any answers to my questions with one or two clicks.


Have a customer looking for chrome lamicoid NameTags, with a...

I have several dairy cow vector files. would that help? Most peeps wouldn't know the diff anyway?

Cool! Thanks, Doug!

Hi Guys, Merry Christmas to all at the Creek!

I, as usual, have an ususual problem. We've been running CASmate & a Mimaki vinyl-plotter on a 1998 Dell computer since dinosaurs walked the earth. My...

Where's the "like" button? Way Cool! Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Thanks so much, Tony! I thought you were going to call me? Mike Clarke mentioned something about it. You're the best, exactly what I needed! Whew, another job off the worry list..

Anybody ever heard of it? Did the quick searches of da font, wtf, etc., no luck. I need a TTF. The Whitney that shows up is nothing like what I need.
Whitney medium is super close to Frutiger, but...

Oh, poop. Here's the enlarged pics of the set-up right now. I'll copy/paste the text from the ducting thread. Funny how it always comes up.. Not sure how large a picture I can post. edited to add,...

never seems to end with me, does it? We are moving our shop, and at the new place, I'd like to try something else. The set-up I have now is totally deafening. That's not the problem, though.

The...

Okay, how is this possible? I made some lamicoids, using Garamond. Many months later, after a computer expiry and re-load, the file shows a Garamond that is not the same as the sample sent back to me...

Thanks all, spent most of the morning on the phone with epilog, tube it is, indeed:(
Serves me right for trying to start at 6am.

It will work, with higher settings. I was supposed to do a job...
