  1. Same Day Stickerman

    Somewhere it is written that any critique of spelling and/or grammar will contain a spelling and/or grammar error. The gods of perversity never rest. But a typo isn't a grammatical error nor a deliberate misspelling. Perhaps you might appeal to the apparatus here at this site and have them...
  2. Same Day Stickerman

    You're not writing a telegram or composing a text for your posse, here you can use as many words as you desire without resorting to childish abbreviations ans substitutions. You can speak in complete coherent sentences. Give it a try, then perhaps someone might have at least a glimmer of an idea...
  3. Question How much vinyl is left on that roll?

    It will be a foot or so short. Better than long. Still an approximation. If you want to know exactly then you have to compute the length of the line describing a spiral from inner to outer diameter increasing by the thickness of the media and backer. Hence a taste of calculus. For even that...
  4. Front cover

    Usually but not necessarily, a print is not right from the start. Sometimes it has to do with the print itself but, especially if you're doing a contour cut, it's the location of the print on the media. Not saying it can't go bad well into the job but those situations are not common relative to...
  5. nina kafe logo design

    In general a word or words are a logo when the design is instantly recognizable by any illiterate anywhere on the planet. That the design might form words in some language or another ir some symbol set or another is coincidental to the design. Logos are not read, rather they are seen. An...
  6. Front cover

    Open of course, the interlocks are permanently defeated. With the cover open a malfeasant print can be detected far sooner that with it closed. There really is no good reason ro leave it closed. Spare me conjecture about heaters and contaminants. Heaters won't suffer any measurable degradation...
  7. nina kafe logo design

    Not necessarily. Take 'Coca Cola' or 'Disney'. There's words and there's design. It's the design that's the logo, not the words. That the design just happens to form words is coincidental to the design. Most anyone anywhere in the world regardless of what language they might read or what...
  8. Question How much vinyl is left on that roll?

    More like 10.2" per wrap assuming the outer diameter is 3.25". The number of wraps is ~= the thickness of the media and the backer * the total thickness of the media on the roll.* 10.2 The result will be slightly shorter than the actual length. To compute the length precisely involves a bit of...
  9. nina kafe logo design

    A logo is a symbol, a sign is exactly that, a sign. Something that says "Bob's Bank" is a sign.The farther a 'logo' moves from symbol to text the more sign it becomes.
  10. Need Help Wasted material on margins! Help

    If you can do 22" on a 24" cutter you're doing better than most. There should be a setting, not sure if it's a feature of your model Graphtec and I can't for the life of me recall what it's called, that lets you expand the tool travel a bit on the Y axis. If you can do 22" it's probably already...
  11. nina kafe logo design

    First of all that's a sign, not a logo. Nevertheless, tighten it up a bit. You have three separate and unrelated elements sort of floating around. Then do something with the line of text at the bottom. Right now it has all the weight.
  12. Need Help Code Violation: Can't park my commercial vehicle at my own house?!

    No, not even close. When the ACLU defends all ten of the amendments that constitute the bill of rights with equal zeal, instead of just those articles they happen to like at the moment, I might consider supporting them. Until then, not a chance.
  13. Need Help Code Violation: Can't park my commercial vehicle at my own house?!

    Pretty much. And it's not 'no longer', rather it's that they never could. No, it doesn't mean that. I means that if you want to contest some edict or another enacted by the provincial tribal elders in your village you have to sue them. A suit which you will win when it inevitably reaches a...
  14. Need Help Code Violation: Can't park my commercial vehicle at my own house?!

    Thank you Clarence Darrow. Are you unable to comprehend that the various codes you cite for this village are in direct conflict with the case law cited in the previous post, #78, by Printhog? Do you fail to understand the merely because the tribal elders in this rustic backwater make some rules...
  15. Need Help Code Violation: Can't park my commercial vehicle at my own house?!

    Are your really as stupid as you appear or is it some sort of act so that you can sneak on on people? What possible relevance does when [assuming it's post 1787] or by whom a local edict is enacted have on the constitutionality of that edict? It's considerably less than comforting to know that...
  16. Need Help Code Violation: Can't park my commercial vehicle at my own house?!

    Yes, Virginia there are rights. Perhaps you might familiarize yourself with them. Some local apparatus cannot willy-nilly enact any regulation that they might dream up. Legislation, at all levels of any apparatus, must conform to the constitution. Those making these regulations seldom seem to...
  17. Need Help Code Violation: Can't park my commercial vehicle at my own house?!

    If you don't stand up for your rights you're sure to lose them. Anyone who lives in fear of some trivial local functionary deserves everything that happens to them. Worse, you encourage their antisocial behavior. Best to rip them limb from limb, at least figuratively, and leave them in fear of...
  18. Need Help Code Violation: Can't park my commercial vehicle at my own house?!

    Or you pound them into the ground like a tent peg. Which not only is far more satisfying but makes them loath to ever fuque with you again. Ever.
  19. Need Help Code Violation: Can't park my commercial vehicle at my own house?!

    Did they measure it? Once, many years ago, the trash service left an unemptied container on my curb. This being a very small town, I call and their spokesbeing said that it weighed more than so many pounds. I don't remember exactly now many was this magical limit. I asked if they weighed it...
  20. Transferring Flexi sign to new computer

    One generally does not move a package such as Flexi, rather one simply installs it wherever desired. Assuming you have the installation media. If you don't have that you're pretty much SOL. You can't simply copy the pertinent files and folders from one machine to another. Installed packages...
