Re: Cutting Deep Bevels on Valiani Mat Pro 120

On the FMD opening screen, along the top icon bar you should see a Yellow box with a Red arrow going into it.

This the the 'Cut Face Down' icon. When this is selected, then the 'Blue Head' becomes available to you.

That is assuming the Blue head has been enabled in Machine Settings.

Roll Out !!
The first UK V-Studio software training course has taken place. :clap:

8 Valiani CMC users attended the course held at D & J Simons premises in London. They will shortly be in receipt of their software package.

Another course is planned for 10th October and more will follow.

Re: 20 second forum page refresh

Very slow down here too.

I thought it was my BB connection. Yet The Grumble loads in < 5secs and other forum type sites the same speed.

JM - Could it be the phpBB Forum Software slowing it down ??

Re: Help with Medals

No problem John.

We have printed those pages out and have used them on so many occasions when a customer appears with a bag full of medals and separate ribbons for framing.

A handy ready reference for the design desk. :D

Hi John
Another very good reference is:

http://www.medals.org.uk/united-kingdom ... ibbons.htm
http://www.medals.org.uk/united-kingdom ... bbons1.htm
etc..
ribbons*.htm...... * goes up to 9 pages.

They are shown in order of precedence.

Re: Transport

I Have a Peugeot Expert, 2.0 HDI.

Superb panel van. Sliding doors on both side, plus double opening doors at the back.
We have the separate seats in the front. Not the usual drivers plus bench seat.
Drives like a car and returns 45 mpg on a long run.

I like my Pug.

Re: Slatwall is useful stuff

Here is my workshop CMC bench. As you see the mountboard storage is made using SlatWall for the top and bottom pieces. The dividers are 10mm MDF, glued into position. workshop1.jpg This makes for a very strong bench for the CMC and each bay provides for about 50 sheets of mountboard. As you can see,...

Re: Car Decals

When we had the shop, we cut our window lettering vinyl on our Valiani CMC.

It did need a sacrificial board (500 micron) on top to hold the vinyl inplace.
So you have to take that cost into account.

As J2M says. Easier to get a local signwriter to do it for you.

Wanted - Valiani CMC

Are you thinking of upgrading your CMC.

The Valiani Support Group has received a request from a Dutch picture framer who is looking for a Valiani CMC - Mat Pro type. Preferably with the interchangeable head system.

If you have one or know of one for sale, can you please PM me.

Thank you

Re: Valiani MatStylus Fonts

Jamie
It depends on what Version software you have.

Normally ToolBox> Fonts>

If you have them you should see something like:
SL_Eng_Vandline
SL_Eng_ParkAveLine


PM me with your serial number please and we can sort some Fonts out for you, if they are not there.

Re: VALIANI- New Software unveiling - Spring Fair

Robo, why are you frustrated.

Support for WIN XP will end in April 2014, so you still have 22 months to save your pennies for a new OS.

FMD will run on all versions of Windows OS.
