  1. Shearing Vinyl and metal together, Good or Bad

    If the panel is used outdoors I prefer to leave an exposed border because after a while in the elements shrinkage occurs and if there was already a border, the shrink is not as apparent. Just a thought.
  2. media for printing flags?

    I have a Roland SP-540V ecosol ink printer and use it to print vinyl and banners. I'm trying to find out if there is a media that I can run through my printer to print flags (polyester-type material). I know that I used some many years ago in my NovaJet printer (water based) that was adhered to...
  3. restore defaults

    Thanks jiarby, that did the trick.
  4. Need Help with ClearCoating Please!

    My advise as well but there are UV resistant laminates that you can use with various sheens. I take my work to a sign shop near me that has a cold laminator and get them to do it. This is less risky than brush, roll, or spray-on clear coats because the clear film goes on dry and is a consistent...
  5. Which Plotter to buy?

    The school that my son attends offers a class called "Tech". It's sort of a combination of wood shop, metal shop, and auto mech in one. They do similar things with sandblasting and I was able to help them by cutting vinyl designs to use on drinking glasses and small mirrors. As long as the area...
  6. Is there a way convert images to vector images?

    There is nothing more annoying to me than a customer that sends me a 4k image of a photo they stole from the internet and wants it "blown up" to put on a 8'x12' billboard.
  7. restore defaults

    I forgot how to restore the toolbars and workspace to the default settings on my CorelDraw X3. Seems like it was ctrl+F-something or something like that. My son was playing with it and mixed up all of the toolbars and it's driving me crazy. Thanks
  8. X3 vs. X4

    I didn't see this question asked yet so sorry if I missed it but I'm a newb. I have X3 and was wandering if the X4 upgrade was worth the $$. Are there any major improvements or changes? Should I wait for X5?

    Welcome Tennessee. From Houston, TX.
  10. Hi from Texas

    Hello from Houston. That's quite a new stadium yall have there. I want one of those TV screens in my back yard.
  11. Anyone Play Any Games?

    Online poker for me. Mostly the "play money" variety. The last video game that I got involved in was Max Payne (the first one).
  12. anyone rember the Gerber Graphix3?

    I was cleaning out my supply room this weekend and ran across the first vinyl cutter we had. Gerber introduced their Graphix3 back in the early 80s and we got it for a discount because they were replacing it with the Graphix4, I took it out and fired it up but could not play with it because I...
  13. Where Do You Buy Dampners? SP-300V

    I don't know much about this company but I have ordered parts from them before without problems. I have nightmares when I think too much about messing with my dampers. http://cmykparts.com
  14. Sp-540V media feeding crooked

    Thanks, I've had the printer for a couple of years but I did just move it to a new location. I'll check it for level.
  15. Another Texas newby

    Decrease in sales (most of my clients are homebuilders) and general laziness on my part.
