  1. CorelDRAW: Can a macro be made for this?

    A macro can be written to do most anything, including your problem. Whether or not you can do it depends on your knowledge of Visual Basic and the Corel operating environment.
  2. Question Print 2 print/cut jobs at once?

    Why not as long as it's paid for. You do, of course, charge for media unrolled do you not? If insist on working too hard then there is a way to do. what you want: Manually place registration marks on the corners of a known rectangle for each image. Change all contour cut lines to regular...
  3. Need Help What vinyl to use on auto glass

    Avery 1105+a bunch of initials. Great stuff.
  4. Discussion making silkscreens

    Close. You burned it with a positive instead of a negative. The light hardened the exposed material and you washed out the unexposed.
  5. Question Print 2 print/cut jobs at once?

    Going through all of this to save a wee bit of vinyl? Really?
  6. Question Print 2 print/cut jobs at once?

    Simply put both images in the same workspace. Print and cut them as a single job. I do it all the time.
  7. What percent do you markup off the shelf parts & retail items on average?

    Never less than 100% and often more, depending.
  8. Question Hearing aids

    There's no one on the planet that I'd pay $8,500.00 to hear. No one now, no one who has ever lived, no one, no how.
  9. Need Help Banner tape not sticking

    Unless you're printing on the back side of the banner there's no reason you should be putting tape on ink. I've never had banner of any brand fail to perform, ever. Here's my method. Put the tape on the outside edge then run a squeegee over it, hard, so the texture of the banner shows in the...
  10. The cut-line are not complete - not closed

    The sovereign remedy for this sort of malfeasant cutting is to remove any dust cover on the plotter tool carriage and blow all the dust and crud out oft the meachanism paying particular attention to the tool up/down mechanism. It doesn't take much contamination to affect the timing of the blade...
  11. Question When exporting from coreldraw as jpeg to rip and print in flexi, prints purple ans not blue

    Always, as in always, send RGB bitmaps Directly to Production Manger. Blues shifting to purples is the hallmark of sending CMYK bitmaps. If your rendering intents for bitmaps is set, to 'Perceptual' then that about as close to what you see is what you get that you'll get. The RIP converts...
  12. Need Help Ink not drying?

    No setting will do anything for you. You need to get paper that's coated for solvent inks. Ebay is far from the best place to do that. Most any sign supply will have what you need.
  13. Cursive font help

    Regardless of which of the myriad formal scripts this might turn out to be, 'cursive' is what they call it in elementary school nee longhand, which is what the little tykes used to call it before 'cursive'. In typography as well as the sign business it's called a 'script', 'cursive' is something...
  14. CorelDraw: Back of Layer Question

    Right click on the powerclip object. Select 'edit powerclip content' or something like that. Arrange the powerclip contents in whatever way that gets you off. When you have everything the way you want it then do 'finish editing this level' and all of the contents will neatly be tucked back into...
  15. BN-20 Dont print the actual color

    What are your rendering intents? What are you printing, vector or bitmap? Are you including, saving, and subsequently using profile information when you save your work? EPS files often produce annoying color shifts with vector images all by themselves, without any additional help from embedded...
  16. Summa or Graphtec

    First, I never said they were equal, a ridiculous notion. I said they were functionally equivalent, that means they do the same things but perhaps in different ways. I do not have to conduct the experiment in order to describe the experiment in order to gather data. A motorcycle is different...
  17. Summa or Graphtec

    Sport, data is running exactly the same job on both machines, over and over again varying the jobs, and actually measuring the outcomes and differences. Not spec sheets, not opinions, not anecdotes, data.
  18. Summa or Graphtec

    Then you have no data, only anecdotes. Moreover, regardless of your success cutting magnetic media, it remains a bad idea to overburden a transport mechanism designed to move vinyl.
  19. Summa or Graphtec

    Or what? Only a deranged individual cuts, scores really, magnetic media on a vinyl plotter. Doing that sort of thing is just getting away with it. Do you have actual data or is this merely your opinion? Please demonstrate that the Summa is superior in some meaningful way. No anecdotes, data.
  20. Summa or Graphtec

    Friction feed is friction feed be it Summa, Graphtec, or whatever. Cutting accuracy, which is really repeatability, is when the blade gets back to exactly its starting point. It can't be any more accurate than that. Contour cutting accuracy is when the sensor to blade distance is set perfectly...
