  1. Founders Society Font

    When you do find it please re-set the line in a manner that's typographically sound. Unlike your sample. After all, we are not barbarians.
  2. Need Help Coreldraw X8 to Flexi 12

    Export out of Corel as a cmx file, select the cmx legacy version. This format will import into Flexi. Be careful with transparencies, gradients, and Corel's drop shadows which are transparent bitmaps. Unfortunately there are no standards for these things and every package has it's own way of...
  3. Question Are you a bitter, cranky old sign guy?

    My all time favorite t shirt...
  4. Color calibration tools.. what do you use?

    Calibrating your monitor is going to help with printer consistency in what way? You want multiple printers to render the same image identically. Good luck with that, as you've noticed simply getting one printer to render an image and then do it again at a later date is difficult. Most of the...
  5. Need Help Orajet 3164G/M media profile for Roland VS540i

    Most any decent Oracal profile will work. There's always the ubiquitous Oracal 3651G profile which does a journeyman job on most any media. Failing that, unless you're trying to create a substitute Mona Lisa for a heist or something, whatever profile you're using for whatever vinyl ought to work...
  6. Question Buying New Cutter/Contour Cut Question

    You might get it to work. Printing and subsequent contour cutting are usually two sequential steps carried out by the same RIP, that would be because the software knows where everything is. Creating a file, printing that file, and then contour cutting the result might be iffy. Whatever's on the...
  7. I'm just a lowly sales guy... but...

    A good sign has three qualities; it must be legible, typographically correct, and it must be beautiful. That last thing, beautiful, is to satisfy you as well as the client. Otherwise something scrawled with a finger dipped in mayonnaise [never miracle whip] would do as well as anything...
  8. Just In Been hearing about this...............................

    Wrong but thank you for playing. bob isn't anything with a convenient label. The closest you could come probably would be rational anarchist but that's not a complete fit either. I'm sufficiently perverse so as to act in ways for no reason other than to confound any label placed upon me. I find...

    Nonsense. Backbone? Because you might use a little Skype, do a bit of inconsequential online banking, or order something from Amazon does not make the internet the backbone of anything. The internet is a convenience, not a necessity. Dishonesty notwithstanding, an ISP should be able to run its...
  10. Just In Been hearing about this...............................

    A necessity? Really? How soon after your internet goes down do you start dying? If the internet is a necessity then it's only a necessity to this culture, something I hold in contempt on the best of days. Most other businesses offer a range of products, even public utilities have tiered pricing...
  11. Just In Been hearing about this...............................

    Maybe they do but their act seems a mite hypocritical, they want to sell their product on their terms but the don't want some ISP or another to do the same. The speed of burger delivery seem a far piece from the speed of internet delivery. But then I've never understood protests and performance...
  12. Just In Been hearing about this...............................

    It was a bit of theater in favor of net neutrality. Why Burger King would have a position on this issue is a conundrum.
  13. I'm just a lowly sales guy... but...

    Looks like the product of a third rate talent working at full capacity in 1956.
  14. Need Help Laminate Turning Brown

    I had this problem in the past with all manner of laminates. The Oracal guy may be right, I doubt it but who knows, I don't care if it's caused by ink migration or evil leprechauns, there's no way to avoid laminate brownout that I've ever discovered. Other than not use vinyl laminate. But if it...
  15. Printing in a cold shop

    If you have natural gas hang a gas heater from your ceiling. Propane will work just as well but it will cost a taste more to operate it. They come in all sizes and will heat most any space, finished or unfinished. If installing one is beyond your skill level get a plumber to do it. You should be...
  16. Boat Lettering Help Please

    And that wouldn't work. Unfortunately you're working with a three-dimensional object that isn't flat, it's curving horizontally as well as vertically. That being the case, a simple straight on photo isn't going to do you a lot of good. You need to flatten the object and layout the lettering on...
  17. Boat Lettering Help Please

    Just like vehicle rear windows, make a paper template.
  18. Small letter cutting issue

    Ok, the sample done in Versa would appear that something might be mapping the vectors to be cut into a parallelogram rather than a rectangle. Or maybe not. Since there is a difference between Flexi and Versa I would just naturally assume a software issue. Not certain but suspicious. Both the...
  19. Small letter cutting issue

    It would appear from your exhibit that you're sending something other than the image in black. A font usually does not go from one weight to another because of an obstreperous plotter. Letters do not get heavier because of malfeasant cutting strips, incorrect offsets, blade holder issues, or...
