  1. Different approach to design

    Yes, 1 folder containing 1 ai. file. No need for anything else. That ai file should hold all the images needed (both side views, back, etc., all design elements whether used in the final or or not. I see no need to have everything separated into multiple files And, for God's sake, quit with all...
  2. Different approach to design

    This actually isn't the only person I've seen come through here that does this. The common denominator seems to be Adobe users. I've been with this company 16years and have seen 6-8 other designers come and go for various reasons. All of them Adobe trained.
  3. Different approach to design

    I do all wrap designs with Coreldraw and at full scale. Rarely are any of the files over 300MB. SInce I am the soul designer in a very busy sign shop the boss had asked one of our production members to design a "half wrap". He has extensive experience but only in illustrator. Doesn't matter to...
  4. Suggestions Looking for a certain vector

    Coreldraw. Must be all vector. Envelope Tool. Bend and shape nodes as desired. Complete twist doesn't look so good though
  5. How should I do this?

    No, I've never tried that. We have a Mimaki plotter with FineCut pro. Not even sure it's possible to do a two piece plot. I came up with my own "little plan" if I were to even attempt something like this. haven't tried ti but seems "logical".
  6. How should I do this?

    I take it there isn't a "natural break" in the body line so you could make a two piece cut instead of one long continuous? It has me quite intrigued so I'm going to look into this further. We've simply told clients there would be a seam at some point as plotting anything over 12' is nearly...
  7. Just found this on my work table

    One evening while sitting around the dinner table my 10 year old son was still bugging me about walking down to the youth center. Seems they were having a special event and I hadn't the funds to give him. I kept telling him no and he started to cry. Next thing you know his little brother had...

    1. brandsoftheworld, wikimedia etc. 2. type in any search engine i.e. "coldwell banker" filetype: pdf (no space before the p) Usually vector logos are used in pdf's 3. email/contact the web designer they usually have a vector or at least understand what that means. 4. recreate if simple...
  9. Need Help coreldraw X8 eps file corrupt

    Subscription?
  10. Question Is my 360 a lemon, and should I buy another HP?

    Although we have not had any major issues with our 360, we hate the media loading process and the take-up and....don't get me started. And reds are just impossible. We are looking to add another printer and would definitely lean towards the 560 as the loading process is so much better from the...
  11. Corel Vector Art

    Absolutely beautiful work! Okay, so I'm a car buff too but still... I would add better "starbursts". You can save under the Artistic Media tool as a Sprayer item for quick use at any time.
  12. Need Help DRAW X7 Macros stopped working VBA issue?

    I did a search for that file on my hard drive. Came up with 2 associated with Microsoft Office. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Data\Delta\root\vfs\programfilescommonx86\microsoft shared\vba\vba6\vbe6ext.olb" (folder)
  13. Need Help Sign Cut Too Short

    So to answer my question. 70" x 70". NOT 70' x 70'
  14. Need Help Sign Cut Too Short

    70ft x 70ft? Or 70" x 70"
  15. 12'x6' sign without seam?

    Have you tried IndyImaging? If you can get the poly/alum in one piece, I'm pretty sure they can print the vinyl that size.
  16. Suggestions Storefront Window Vinyl - Single Words Layout

    Yep, all text the same letter height. Also agree that a condensed font may work best. Inches not points. Point size is meaningless in the sign business.:roflmao:
  17. Question Onyx Custom Banner Hem

    Agree. All bleeds, crop marks,fold line, company logo, and grommet dots are placed within the design. I use my own custom templates and macros to make quick work of it. Send it to a hot folder for the print tech to handle the rest.
  18. Template Help

    No gettin' around cutting extra. All that should be accounted for in quoting. You charge by the linear foot. Templates are only to be used to give a "rough" proof. More precise measurements before printing are done once the vehicle is on hand. Look for natural breaks and set up print panels...
  19. How to create table label?

    In Corel we made a template to print to heavy card stock. Create a list in Excel. Plug in the names and the cards are filled in for you using Print Merge. Hand cut, score and bend. Made thousands of these over the years.
