  1. Trying to make a Checkered stripe that bends

    In what program? I did a stripe pattern similar to that in corel. I used a race car font that made the block pattern, then converted into curves, combined it, then using the warp tool, stretched it which way I needed/wanted it to go. The font that I used was part of the race pack from...
  2. Artpath auto carve on windows 7

    I have Artpath running on an xp windows machine. I'm not computer savy enough to tell if it is 32 or 64 bit (if that even applies to xp). The only thing that you really need to make sure is that you have the plug on the back of the machine to plug the data cable going to the router. When I...
  3. So Just how fast IS your Plotter...Really!

    I have a Summa D60, and i cut hi pef vinyl at 24. Slower if it is really detailed, but 24 is good for me. And does the customer really need to know how fast the plotter runs? They will just think that the faster it runs,the cheaper it should be...
  4. How to mount pylon sign?

    Have you ever built anything like that before? It doesn't sound like it. Have you thought about the crane your going to need to lift the sign into position? Do you have a plan to dig ( or drill ) the foundation? Do you have the insurance to cover you in the odd chance that it fails? I...
  5. UPS boycott

    Yeah, me too. I think you mean "The World on time, just not at the right place." I had a package come in and was tracking it, and when it came up that a delivery attempt was made, they would try again the following day. When i got in to the house, no tag on the door, so I went to the other...
  6. New vinyl cutter suggestions?

    I've used Roland but I prefer summa. Real work horses, and they come with the software to cut directly from core as well.
  7. Aluminum License plates?

    Are you looking for blank tags? If so... harbor sales. ( www.harborsales.net )
  8. Window tint glue removal

    The defogger lines make it a pain in the backside. And using a steamer wouldn't have been much of a help. I have used soapy water and a super fine steel wool. I suppose using rapid remover would help.
  9. How to make my outline on a word or number solid with no lines or "cuts"

    The questuon is how are you creating the outline? I fyour using the pen weight, you are destined for issues. If you are using the pen tool, ther eis a command "convert pen to outlines". I prefer using an add on program that opens inside the corel program, and creates true outlines. I think...
  10. Butting plastic panels together

    Hey, Guys. I have a project that I am quoting that consists of (10) 22" x 120" panels in a fascia around a building, and I have a question about butting the panels together. Originally I would have put a panel on the back that will keep them together and avoid any light leaks, but I seem...
  11. Before and After Van lettering

    He should be smiling. Very nice job. You, sir, are a master at our craft.
  12. Total Newb needing help

    I gotta say we are looking at this wrong. The op is smart enough to see something that he likes and then go onto a website where he can create an anonymous name and get all the info he needs to start a "hobby" that he can start making money. I would assume the op wants to do it either becasuse...
  13. Round magnetics

    How many? Do you know anyone with a router? I've cut a 1/4" clear acrylic on my router and hand cut them after applying the vinyl.
  14. Help: where is the cheapest place to buy sign vinyl?

    Your request in the open forum is about the same as asking how much to charge in the open forums, in my opinion. This is your first post. No offense, but have you tried the search? I would be more inclined to answer in the premium section. It's not that much...something like 10 bucks for a...
  15. How long do you need to hold onto a customers product before you can throw it away?

    Or offer to keep it, but charge a "storage fee". You've done it for free for the past year and a half, and they have been taking advantage of it. Now that it will cost them, they will make a decision real fast.
  16. Anybody have a Gerber Advantage 400 (AR400) CNC router?

    I have ar2748, and i create in corel, export as an eps, open in omega (not sure what version, i will look when i get into the shop). In omega, i just make sure that the color is off, the lines are off, and paths are closed. My machine is so old i have to increase the size 1.535% to make sire the...

  18. Any merchant members here that print and lam window perf?
