  1. Roland cutting protection strip

    Have you thought about upgrading to a better plotter? The GX-24 is amazing.
  2. Discussion National installs

    I ask if they are taking on new installers or if I can get on the install list. Then they will contact you and send you the paperwork and ask for the required information or documents. None of them needed my capabilities document.
  3. Question Versaworks question

    I only know of deleting it and starting over in Versaworks. A new file won't keep the same settings. I don't have Dual but that's how mine is.
  4. Help with backlit signs

    Never never never use clear vinyl or clear substrate. Double print on white translucent vinyl and put on white polycarbonate. Edit: I know someone is going to ask why. It's because you will see the bulbs through the vinyl. If they are HO, higher lumen LEDs, Halogens, etc you will see it. Looks...
  5. Discussion National installs

    I work for tons, but just google National Sign Company and you will see many. A few don't sub out, but it's worth asking.
  6. Roland cutting protection strip

    Ebay normally has them and try Amazon
  7. Strange error on closing X8

    I have Brian from Corel working on this issue for me.
  8. Strange error on closing X8

    Didn't know that. I have installed it on 4 computers with no issues.
  9. Strange error on closing X8

    You mean them forcing me to upgrade to 2018 and reinstalling X8 would become disabled?
  10. Strange error on closing X8

    I don't have any security or anti-virus software installed. I am thinking it's just a bug of some sort, may need to reinstall.
  11. Weird way to install tenant panels

    Never seen that done, maybe that sign shop doesn't know how to use power tools or doesn't own any. Perhaps corporate doesn't want any holes in it. Either way, I would be against that method, what happens when the bungees rot over time? Some modern signs are awesome, but others make me want to...
  12. Strange error on closing X8

    Anyone having the issue that sometimes when you close Corel, you get a little pop up window with coding and it freezes and you have to do ALT, CTL, DEL to get rid of it? Just started a couple weeks ago. See below.
  13. Discussion 3d background... learning 2d

    I've been in 3D as well for several years. But I did it as a hobby, just for fun. So can't say I am an expert by any means.
  14. Oracal

    For outdoor, I highly recommend 3165RA. The 3551RA is okay but really not worth the extra money, at that point go with cast. For interior, it depends on the application.
  15. Question Vehicle wrap scams

    I get about 3 - 5 per month.
  16. Adhesive wont hold

    Acrylic letters should be pin mounted (stud) with thread alls. However if you cannot do that, go with VHB tape, but make sure you use the correct kind for that application.
  17. City wants STRAPS sewn through banner

    I don't know the tech terms of this stuff, so I was just throwing out a random example.
  18. Oracal

    It's all about preference. No vinyl is far superior than another (Top brands I am talking about, not ebay ones). Some people are die hard 3M fans, some Avery, some Oracal. I've used all 3, my preference is Oracal, it has never failed me. I have never seen a splice in Oracal. The only vinyl that...
  19. Difficult Customers

    You kidding? This is a weekly thing for sign companies.
  20. City wants STRAPS sewn through banner

    Right and I don't blame them for that. But I don't want to do the job and a lot of others don't either. You should see some architect drawings we get that don't know anything about signs. They try to use ten dollar words and make up their own descriptions for the materials. So I have to...
