in corel, if it's a bitmap you're using, just open BITMAPS-BITMAP COLOR MASK. that will open a docker window that allows you to select any color(s) that you want to make transparent.

i think it's deeper than that.... the fabric store is selling the "logo" to you for your own personal use.... if you use that (blanket, hat, bear or whatever)for resale with those logos, you mught be bordering on a problem.

the problem of "not finishing" the cuts is probably due to the offset of the blade being wrong... while it is difficult to cut 1/4 in letters, i've done it sucessfully on my roland 300 machine. use a good blade with as little force as you can get away with and it should be doable.

i use perfed vinyl all the time in my CX 300 and used it in my PC 900 for years ... no problems

in the "pre dongle" era of VMP, it was related to the program not being "registered".... not sure if that's an issue with the dongle or not, but you might want to see if VMP is recognizing your product as being a registered version if just having the dongle is not enough to tell the prgram that...

in corel, you just bring up the "bitmap color mask" and choose the color you want to hide ...

go to the end of the last word you want underlined and press the underline button to turn underline off. the following text should appear un-underlined. unfortunately, if you alreay have a group that you don't want underlined, you have to highlight that text and turn off the underline on those...

try this ... Tools/Customization/Text/Paragraph... deselsect "show text frames"

It should dissappear as soon as you type somthing in the box or select the Text button while making the box active

type in your text...select text... choose effects, envelope... select add new... adjust the nodes to where u want them

had VMP "unregister" itself once, not because of DST or the end of DST, but it showed up as unregistered.... anyway, a quick reinstall of the program solved the problem--- I'm assuming you have the older non-dongle version

Our other business operation here is as an Copier Dealer and office supply store... For your best benefit PLEASE talk to a good reputable Copier dealer B4 you make that purchase... most of the Copier/ fax/printers that sell in the 800$ range are NOT going to be able to produce the quanity of...

maybe check for a worn out platen... could have a groove worn in it so the blad's not contacting the vinyl evenly
