Software alone, possibly yes, but there is still the problem about hardware connection to communicate with the CMC? eg: serial/com connection to CMC controller,etc. No solution I've found to date there unfortunately.
I stand by my previous response.
Still smiling,
Jared

Re: GUNNAR F1-XL Hybrid
Unfortunately, no. Only PC.
To my knowledge, this holds the same for all CMC's across the industry too.
Keep smiling,

Re: CS88 Pedal bottoming out
Mark is right.
If the top clamp assembly is too far away from the top of the moulding, then the pedal will not have enough stroke to clamp and join. Always make sure the top clamp is no far than a "hand space" from the top of the moulding.

Re: CMC cuts per year
Finances dictating, I'm looking at second hand cmcs, and was wondering how many cuts per year the average bespoke framer would expect to rack up on a CMC. I know serving is a big thing to look at, but like a car, I'd like to know how many miles it had done to work out the type of life it had. Congr...

Re: can anyone help
Speaking on behalf of Gunnar, Firstly – please allow me to say that not all CMC’s are created equal. There are many differences, in many respects. Does Gunnar nest and/or optimise across multiple sheets ? Yes. As per this list of “industry firsts” on this page: http://www.megawood.com.au/cmc_website...

Re: Framing 3 parts of a newspaper article
Here's a couple of tips: If you are going to work with the original articles, you may want to use a black backing board, like black alphamat, as the darkness of the backing will help hide any ghosting of the newsprint coming through the front. If you cut seperate apetures for each article section, a...

Jared Are the rental figures on that website, http://www.getthepictureframing.com/gfaq/cmc.htm, correct. $100 per week for the F1 Hybrid(£66.00 per week) - seems very cheap. Those figures are based on leasing, not rental. Leasing is always more affordable than rental. Gunnar do not offer rental in ...
