:-) Appreciate the effort! I'm trying a sideways method of bringing those pieces into CPaint and "hand painting" those areas. We'll see..

Tried that - won't work as the fill won't follow the contour. I've even tried a "contour to center" mimicing how Corel blends and it still won't do it.

jw - you're not seeing the photo I posted. Gradient has to follow the contour, not just fill them.

No, not the look I need. I need each "lobe" to be "inlined" with the gradient, not the entire thing as a gradient. The gradient needs to follow the contour - a simple fill gradient won't do that.

Ok, here's what I have. I'm trying to replicate a hand painted Maltese Cross for a company to be used on other vehicles (and to have it for posterity). The original hand painted cross has multiple fades on it that I just cannot for the life of me replicate by any of the traditional Corel methods...

Thanks. Yeah, the more I look at it the more it makes sense for a single line. Customer is just going to have to adjust :-)

Hi all, I want to pick the collective brain trust on how folks approach the tailgates on these new trucks. Many fire departments (and some PD) are now getting these Rams and they are giving me headaches trying to make them look right. Attached is a photo from an install today (not complete - it...

Could be any one of multiple issues. The ink shouldn't need to be "mixed" - it should all be the exact same from batch to batch. What I'm seeing is dropped jets or cross contamination when a color gets low. Does this thing have ink dampers in the head? Are they secure/air leak free? Is the...

Did you try printing? That's about where mine is. Any lower and you'll start head striking on banner material.

Hi folks, one more for the weird scripts. It is a cut vinyl, but I can't for the life of me find the font..

Cheap reflective or your heat is too high. Try rolling out as much reflective as you think you need, keep it flat and see if it starts to tunnel. If it doesn't, then your heat is too high on the machine. If it does... get a better quality vinyl.

I don't use a whole lot, but any scrap I just cut down and throw to our recycle bin. I let the recyclers figure it out. If they take PP food trays, they should take Coro.

Mine almost touches the surface - it's only about 1/2 mm off the vinyl.

I remember at least 20 years ago there was a system called "Leonardo" which was basically a paint gun hooked to multiple color cups and a computer. It was on an X-Y gantry held vertically and it was supposed to be able to paint cars, trucks and semi's along with wall murals. Interesting tech for...

Think about what you just wrote. "wrapping the blades so that while spinning you can see the logo". Try that on your desk fan and see if you can see anything at all other than a blur of color. Tell your customer that without restricting airflow it's not going to work. Wrap the lower panel or the...

Tape off the cross rails and bedliner the uprights. Adds a couple of pounds a ladder, but then easier to grip and no more UV damage.

Run, don't walk. As rjs said, the owner needs to get the entire thing repainted.

The only thing I've done with my Bot in the last 15 years is upgrade the hardware package and add a spindle. Other than that it's been pretty bulletproof. New ones come with hardened rails that don't need much attention.
