This morning I ran into a new one. I was sent a .avery file as a business card concept. It's an Avery Dennison template file. People think they can just send any file and we can magically open it up.

Wow. The kerning on that sign is H OR RIB LE.

I don't get it. Why would anyone premask wrap film? Is it to prevent damage to the ink on the surface from the squeegee, since it's not laminated?

Jan. 2012 - We started our sign and screen printing business with a cheap import vinyl cutter and a heavily used Lawson 4 color/4 station manual screen printing press. We even dried our first t-shirts using nothing more than a flash dryer. Spring 2012 - Upgraded our vinyl cutter to a Roland...

Use registration marks. It's so much easier and more precise, I don't know why anyone would waste their time with wet application.

We have a back up hard drive and Carbonite and I sleep easy at night. :smile:

Just peel the backing off, aim, then stick! :banghead:

That's a pretty unique font, but the 6 and 9 are butt ugly and the 3 isn't much better. Other than that, the numerals have a nice classic race car number look to them.

You could see if a record store would want to buy them. They could cut them down as needed for indexing records and cd's. A lot of record stores will use a ton of those things and .060" seems like it would be just about the right size. Just an idea, anyway...

Stone Inf (Medium Italic) for A Training Alliance. BlissCaps (Regular) should get you pretty close on the GENERAL ELECTRIC.

I learned Corel while using X5, then did the upgrade to X7 and was completely lost with the newly designed interface, so now I work in classic mode and it's not too much different from X5.

I just posted this on another thread. These tutorials are for X5 so they may not be entirely as helpful if you're working in X7, but if you work in classic mode, it should be fairly easy to translate. These are the best tutorials for the Corel beginner that you will find, in my opinion...

Workaround vector traces will never teach you anything, at least not if you want to be proficient as a designer or even at just being able to manipulate files. To address the OP's original questions, I don't know what version of Corel you're working with but when I learned Corel Draw I was...

Oops. I read that as 36" x 19" as I think others must have, also. Is it 19 feet, I wonder? Hmmm.

I would be at $885.00 for the cast prints, assuming they are contour cut, $115 for the cut vinyl lettering, plus $200 for flat install, or $300 if over rivets/corrugations. That would put my price at $1200-1300.

I think a very important point that has yet to be mentioned is that cast is also available in a much broader selection of colors and textures than calendered.

Inkscape has an absolutely flawless autotrace. I use it quite often to clean up jpeg logos.
