Rome, Georgia? Yeah, I've been there. Oh...wait the other one. lol Ask away. Tons of people on here to help you out.

duplicate the image and move off to the side. Do an auto-trace of that image. Delete the raster (image) whereby leaving the vector shapes. In corel I'd "create boundary" illustrator, I'm sure, has the equivalent. Move the contour over your orig image. Maybe create a "cut" layer and move it to...

We found out a few months ago that ProEdge was going away. Also found out that it's patented and that owner of the patent at the time had no plans to let it go. Will probably hold out for $$.

Controller Expanded Five is close.

I agree but I'd go ahead and make it a transparent png.

Welcome to the ranch. Lots of good stuff here.

We use CorelDraw/PhotoPaint/Photoshop for all design/cut with FineCut plug in. We use Flexi Print Manager to print only. Design from various workstations and drop finals for print into the hot folder on the RIP station. Print tech takes it from there to set up media profiles, quantities, etc.

p.s. Corel has a smooth tool. Also has a Reduce Nodes tool with slider. I believe illy has this too.

Better to use the free windows Snipping Tool. hit the windows key, type snip and you should see it in a list. Marquee select what you want to capture then copy/paste. Could design a read only template form with various blocks of info i.e. date, company logo etc. Then open the template and paste...

Welcome to "the ranch".

Best to have straight on side shots (not like the one above), and the back too. With some sort of reference measurement i.e. door width etc.

Just a note about the FineCut plugin for Corel. It really just uses a series of macros for the tools. I was able to add a bit of code that would throw an error message, once you hit cut, if shapes overlap. Saved me a few times when cutting text that had overlapping characters (forgot to weld first).

We have a Mimaki and always push two rollers to the left when not needed. Just common practice, Didn't know there was an actual reason for it. As mentioned though, on longer runs we use all or on wider media. p.s. on the Mimaki the rollers are spring loaded and have two positions (uh... tight...

I've heard Inkscape (free) does better than Flexi, illly, and Corel. I'm not allowed to download it here at the office so I couldn't say one way or the other.

Veterans can now buy from PX/BX online.

Nope. At least not the ones here.

Does to those "in the need to know"

What don't you understand? The military may have lots of different software programs but it's limited to your specialty. My office had Corel and Adobe (on the shelf) as well as MS Office. No one else is authorized to have the those on a government computer. Just like we couldn't get...

The USAF did away with the "graphic design" career field 2 years after I retired. Now the only software that's authorized for use that is even remotely close to a design program is MS Office and yes every joe thinks they can do their own designs and bring them to us for print.
