  1. Is there a simple way to do font style this in Flexi?

    Interesting but it's still a one time event right? You type one line of text do the effect then type another etc. Or is the text editable afterword?
  2. Is there a simple way to do font style this in Flexi?

    Sorry, I missed that it had already been mentioned. I'd do it in Corel but outcome still the same
  3. Is there a simple way to do font style this in Flexi?

    I take it there are different text for each of those 100? If that's the case, what about a print merge whereby you create 1 that includes extra characters then using an excel spreadsheet to set the names. A separate cell for each character. Probably just as much trouble though. Just spitballing...
  4. Setting up a sheet with crop marks in Onyx

    In Corel I can make quick work of this using a couple of custom macros. Agree that no bleed is needed.
  5. Latex, what would be your suggestions for improvement?

    Sorry if this has been covered already. Why is there not a "tension sensor" to PAUSE a print if a high rate of tension is detected from the take up reel. We've wasted a lot of material over this issue. 99% of roll media is glued to the core so you'll have 3 ft of material left on the roll but...
  6. Pre-press Fonts to Curves/Outlines Suggestions

    Bleeds can have there place but in order to maximized material usage such as a 4 x 8 sheet of coroplast one can fit 10ea 18 x 24 signs but not if there are bleeds involved. Any bleeds can easily be added on my end.
  7. Pre-press Fonts to Curves/Outlines Suggestions

    Don't know if it's a "rookie" mistake or many "schooled" artists are trained to embed the fonts instead of converting them. We re-iterate all the time when we're asked what type of we'd like. "pdf with fonts converted, no prepress marks or crop mark, and no bleeds" then we find out they have no...
  8. Need Help How many profiles do you really need?

    Same when we had our Mimaki. It was the easiest setup we had. Just about anyone in the shop could run it. Not since switching to the HP though. As for being the "correct way". Don't care about that. I care about speed and making money.
  9. Conspicuity chevron CMYK colors

    Ha, doing repairs on a large military fire truck today. We opted to order the pre-colored stripes instead though. 1 yellow roll and one red.
  10. Software for designing signs and posters

    Currently busy running circles.
  11. Software for designing signs and posters

    What a can of worms you've opened again! I can run circles around any adobe user with my 10yr old Corel Graphics Suite. Guarantee you'll need both and possibly more. You're not just designing, you're taking every wanna be graphic artist's crappy artwork and making it usable in some capacity. You...
  12. What kind of vinyl this could be?

    Only stuff we have with a backer like that is IJ35 which we have priced lower as an everyday yard sign type vinyl. We use IJ180 for most vehicle wraps and occasionally for outdoor signage.
  13. New Guy Sprung from Prison

    I can't believe it! You're jumping right in and getting right back into your old ways! Sorry, couldn't resist. lol Welcome back, did they put you through a rehabilitation class?
  14. How to clean Aluminum

    I know a retired Army guy who says the best way to clean an alum boat for painting is vinegar so...
  15. Cutter registration marks on clear material

    We've had similar problems with reg marks on window perf. What our print tech came up with worked yesterday. We've had a circle punch around for years. Cuts a 2" circle. He cut a batch of circles from our inexpensive white vinyl which has a bit of a matte finish to it. Watch the perf print and...
  16. Switching from Adobe Photoshop to Corel Photo Paint?

    I use a macro in coreldraw to chrome letters
  17. Switching from Adobe Photoshop to Corel Photo Paint?

    same basics
  18. Switching from Adobe Photoshop to Corel Photo Paint?

    We have both and because we primarily design in CorelDRAW it only makes sense to me to use PP for little things like remove the background, a little touch up here and there etc. That way I can stay in Corel, edit bitmap, and jump right back on the fly. Just as illustrator & photoshop. They both...
  19. CorelDraw - layers / pages - easiest way to deal with them

    Yes, corel has layers as most other programs. I rarely have a use for any more than one layer. Couple of things to note, and you may know already. As you select a shape you will see which layer it is on by the info at the bottom left of the workspace also note that you have a "Desktop" layer...
  20. Buying A Used 360 Hp Latex - Any Advice?

    Yes, I've heard that using a custom profile that eliminates LtC & LtM works best if just printing red alone but... And our Print Tech, who also happens to be our IT guy, refuses to try customizing a profile.
