  1. Corel x3 looks good on print preview but is wrong when cutting

    But you have had luck cutting from DRAW in the past? If so maybe try hand selecting just the vector shapes you want to cut, select copy. Start a brand new document, and paste. Then proceed the way you normally would when cutting art.
  2. Corel x3 looks good on print preview but is wrong when cutting

    You said you inserted a page? So you have a multi page document? Perhaps you have content on both pages still and something in your print/plot setting is trying to produce both pages when you cut. Have you had luck cutting from DRAW before using the steps you are using now? Or is this a first...
  3. Am I the crazy one?

    I don't think you are crazy. It seems to me like everything we do has a certain amount of risk vs reward. For a small job like this you could choose not to do extra work it would take to draw out the dimensions, that time you save turns into extra profit, (your reward), however it would be at...
  4. Am I the crazy one?

    ...and if you don't want to listen I'll complain to your mom." :rolleyes:
  5. Am I the crazy one?

    Overreaction much?
  6. Ya win some... and ya lose some......................................

    The client loses because a bad image or an illegible signage results in less sales. And you as a sign maker CAN lose as a result because less profitable clients whose businesses cannot grow, will mean less repeat business. We have found repeat business to be more profitable, since much of the...
  7. Ya win some... and ya lose some......................................

    Had a lady stop in and want lettering for her storefront window. Since she was starting a new business we tried selling her on a logo. She already had one she said. It was just a font she had found. Fair enough, it wasn't that bad honestly, so we started discussing the details of her window...
  8. How do you guys heat your shops in the winter time?

    Like most of you, (I'm assuming) we are constantly opening and closing the garage doors, so in the winter a bunch of heat escapes every time we do. So we have two huge industrial hanging heaters pointed at where vehicles are normally parked. It's just as important for us to heat up the surface...
  9. looking for designer

    I think it all depends on what you include into the design process. I have found that the brainstorming of unique and fresh new ideas in addition to the back and forth correspondence with clients are the most time consuming parts of the creative process. After a game plan has been devised and I...
  10. Corel user input needed

    One of the Carbonite memberships plans has a service where they will take your content copy it to an external HD then ship it to you in case of catastrophic storage failure. Ask us how we know.:wink: It was going to take more than a year to download all of our backed up files (over 800 GB) so...
  11. Corel user input needed

    LOL I hear ya. Talking about Paranoid, We save to a NAS, which is backed up on Carbonite, Then we also make backups to these mini drives that plug right into the NAS like the old school tape backups. We too have had a hard drive with all of our art files die on us, luckily at the time we were...
  12. Corel user input needed

    Yeah but he's saying he has memory issues and has problems having more than one file open at a time. This has not been my experience at all, In fact, I have 12 .cdr files open right now, some of which are pretty complicated projects running next to a few other rather large applications...
  13. Corel user input needed

    Missed the "Pro" part of the OP's post. That being said XP pro came in 32bit too. So it depends on which one they have and how much memory they are working with... If they are getting memory errors, I would assume that would be the best place to start when solving this issue.
  14. Corel user input needed

    It may be time to look at upgrading your system. XP is a great OS, but it is old. X6 will work on XP but really its designed to work even better on newer versions of Windows, especially 64bit versions. Since you are getting memory errors, I wonder how much memory you have??? I think if you are...
  15. Roland Unreliable and Expensive

    I was thinking the same thing. We experienced electrical problems early on when we got into digital printing, and had an electrician do some work on our building. it made a huge difference, not just with the printing issues we would have with our old printer but with our computers too. It's...
  16. Happy Holidays Everyone!

    LOL :thumb:
  17. Happy Holidays Everyone!

  18. Did a short promotional time elapse video of wrap

    SAIL!!!! :thumb: Yeah I'm wondering why they wouldn't have just bought a white car then have you do the roof mirrors and etc... But that's no reflection on the good job you did. Is it by chance something other than gloss white, that we just aren't seeing in the video?
  19. Is it too early to talk about the USSC show yet?

    For me it's all about the quality of people there, not so much quantity. I know I kept myself quite busy reconnecting with good friends and meeting new ones. Yeah we weren't really in the market to buy much of what was on the showroom floor since we are pretty specialized. I've been to much...
  20. Something I wanted to share. Dan Antonelli and ProWraps project.

    You know I think I'm going to start using red stars in more of my designs now. Not so much to show support for Mother Russia but as a declaration of it's independence amongst the other hues of stars.... To win back the color red's freedom from one nation.... To show the masses that it's not the...
