Hello everyone, Isnt it great to have another sign forum to check out. I have been wondering this for a while now: I bought Flexi in the summer of 04 with the intention of getting a printer of some type shortly thereafter. I havent bought a machine yet, but I hope to maybe get a Gerber Edge with a GSX plotter soon. I will still plan on getting a large format printer(48 in) after the Edge. My question is, should I keep the Flexi and learn to use it with the Edge? or Should I plan on using the Omega software to run it? Or should I get CorelDraw 11 with the CoCut addition? Your input will be appreciated. Thanks, Jim jimtrainor@bellsouth.net

Hi Jetsigns-

I would use the Omega software to run the Edge. There are many functions that are designed with the Edge and MAXX in mind.

Pantone color-matching, Gerber Spectratone (which I think is great) and various other Gerber specific items. Omega has its on plot/cut program (automatic when you go to cut) and it can also run a digital print RIP software.

I have worked with most of the sign softwares in my 14 years but I still prefer the capabilities of the Gerber line.

Just my 2 cents.

Corel draw 12 suite and cocut pro12 will be a perfect combination..

I use it all the nearly every day. I find there is nothing i cannot do in vinyl with this combination.

I use Coreld draw 12 and encad printers for digi printing,, again is a perfect combination.

That's what I hear more and more.

I've heard there is a way to covert text to braille 2 on Corel similiar to Flexi, is that true?

      Overflow with Permit Drawings, Shop Drawings or Material Takeoff? We Might Be Able to Help

      By Night Owl · Posted

      One thing that can make a good sign project more complicated than expected is location. You may have the client, the drawings, and the project ready to go, but then you have to figure out who can fabricate the signs, who can install them, whether they can meet the schedule, and how everything will be coordinated from a different city or state.   This becomes even more challenging when you're dealing with multiple locations.   We have helped sign companies with the work that happens between getting the project and getting it completed, including:   Project Estimating Material takeoffs, quantity takeoffs, reviewing plans, and preparing pricing for commercial sign projects.   Design and Drawings Sign design, permit drawing packages, shop drawings, fabrication drawings, and production-ready files.   Vendor and Installer Sourcing Finding suitable fabricators, installers, and other local vendors when a project is outside your normal market.   Project Coordination Keeping track of vendors, approvals, revisions, fabrication schedules, installation dates, and project deadlines.   Multi-Location Sign Programs Coordinating signage projects across multiple cities and locations while keeping the information and project requirements organized.   This can be useful for shops that want to take on work outside their usual territory without having to build a new vendor network from scratch every time. We also provide overflow support when an internal team is simply overloaded with bids, drawings, takeoffs, or project management work.   If you are working on a project where you need help with estimating, sign drawings, material takeoffs, vendor sourcing, installation coordination, or project management, feel free to reach out.   Sign Bridge Request a quote at office@signbridgeco.com Call or text: 619-953-1209 You can also visit www.signbridgeco.com to see the services we provide.

      Yes LEDs Can Start Fires

      By Cra-z · Posted

      Did you put your tongue on it to see if it still works? LOL    All jokes aside, yes LEDs can burn the place to the ground just not quite as risky as HIGH VOLTAGE NEON.

      Yes LEDs Can Start Fires

      By Erik Sine · Posted

      We always see a lot of conversation about how "Safe" LEDs are because they are "Low Voltage".    That is not true.   A lot of times it can just take a little bit of moisture getting inside of a module casing.   So NO, LED Module are not SAFE or DUMMY PROOF just because they are low voltage.

      The Principal Sloan Monopoly just got Larger

      By Erik Sine · Posted

      I'm sure ISA will post "Congratulations" followed by re-posts and likes....as Users get ready to PAY MORE....the competition just became LESS!!!           Options and Choices at your local Sign Supplier just became fewer, and prices just went up.   Be sure to check out your International Sign Association Web Blast and Announcements which will contain "Congratulations Principal / Sloan on your newest / latest acquisition!!!"     We all know what this means to the market place....lesser competition....higher prices...lesser quality.   This is the reason for Brighton LEDs....It will always remain Top Tier Quality!
