    Yes.
  2. Covering vehicle decals with magnet

    Why do you think the magnetic material will blow off? People drive with magnetic signs on their vehicles all the time. And if he's patrolling a neighborhood, how fast is he going?

  4. Arching Letters in Coreldraw?

    If you have a letter that you don't like how it was rotated, break the letters apart and rotate it yourself...
  5. Problem with paint and letters...

    Not sure why everyone is so down on Rustoleum spray paint. I used it on my steel deck railings when I rebuilt the deck 4 years ago, and it still looks fine. No chalking, no dulling. It's doing way better than some Ronan white I used recently on signs.
  6. 3M Materials Shortage

    We have used MPI1105 and 1105EZ for a very long time, and it's been fine on both a Mimaki JV3 and our current Epson eco-solvent printers. It prints beautifully.
  7. Arching Letters in Coreldraw?

    What effect are you trying to accomplish? To make the letters arched, the correct tool is fit text to path. You just have to draw whatever path you want to use, usually a circle or ellipse, fit the text to it, and then adjust the path object if you need it to have a different radius, overall...

    Take a look at this: https://www.torquedetail.com/blogs/ceramic-coating/how-to-remove-ceramic-coating# Customer's responsibility to take the car back to whoever applied the ceramic coating to have it removed. The only reliable way is mechanical abrasion.

  10. Unlimited zoom out in Corel 2020?

    If I'm creating a proof like that, I typically make the items smaller so they can be printed on an 8.5x11 piece of paper. If you try to print a big layout, Corel Draw crashes after spinning an hourglass for 10 minutes.
  11. Unlimited zoom out in Corel 2020?

    I guess I've never made a sign that big. I checked, and it does exceed the boundaries of the zoom if you go that big. I have Corel Draw all the way back to X6 on this computer, and it's been the same all the way back that far. Looks like it's by design.
  12. Unlimited zoom out in Corel 2020?

    I found the zoom out only stopped at a point where the layout was a tiny speck in the middle of my screen. What would be the point of zooming out further than that? I use the scroll wheel to zoom out.
  13. Window perf question

    We overlap, and once you've stepped away from the job, it looks fine. Nobody ever complains.
  14. Vinyl Burnt by the Sun

    If it take 5 years for that to happen, that is actually good performance for a calendared material. I would consider it normal age-related UV deterioration if it makes it 5 years. That's about how long we get up here.

  16. Maybe stupid question about vinyl and lam

    If you're just cutting letters/shapes out of it, treat it like any other high performance vinyl. It will need application tape for handling. If you're making large sheets of white vinyl to cover things, then laminate makes it so you can handle it and apply it more easily.
  17. How to reduce image quality for photos in Corel

    If the issue is uploading to print provider, but you have room to save it on your hard drive, another option is to just export the whole layout as a 150 or 100 dpi jpg.
  18. Rotating in Onyx Cut-Server

    OK, that works. Thanks so much. Interesting that when the intermediate marks are turned off it also doesn't print the little triangle that points which way the print goes through the plotter.
  19. Rotating in Onyx Cut-Server

    Thanks for the help. Running another test now.
