  3. Need Help What a FAIL. Glass door all scretched up. Anything to fix it?

    My thoughts exactly, I'm in Florida and just about every "glass" has a tint film to it. I've never used anything to "scrape" the surface. If residue is left from any removed vinyl we'll clean it with rapid remover and follow up with a different rag and clean with alcohol.
  4. Corel Draw X8 2 Error Messages

    silly question but have you cleared out temp files?
  5. HELPPPPP

    Sometimes on surfaces such as this you can try and "heat treat" it before applying paint and/or vinyl. Forget "Plasti-Dip" it's bad on anything. Blow torch the surface ever so carefully without burning it. Clean really good with 70% alcohol then apply vinyl. Good luck.

  12. Need Help Printing Design with Many Hi-Res Photos

    EPS for raster images! Are you nuts? Talk about a huge file. How about 5 times the size of a tif! p.s. with CorelDRAW there's no need for photoshop or PhotoPaint to flatten, just marquee select what you want to print then hit export. Choose your resolution, choose rgb or cmyk AND choose "export...
  13. Need Help Printing Design with Many Hi-Res Photos

    You're overthinking this. 300dpi is overkill. We design large wraps at 1:1 scale all the time with various images sometimes at or even below 72dpi. On output for print we export as rgb tif (NOT JPG) at 150dpi. Same for banners or any other large format. No raw camera photo file is 300dpi to...

  15. PDF and Illustrator

    Is everything vector art? If so and you're using Acrobat Pro you can save as eps. We never send proofs in vector format. The form can be vector but the actual artwork will be png.
  16. PDF and Illustrator

    Were fonts converted when the pdf was created? "Place" in illustrator as suggested will convert the fonts. Sometimes if you don't have the fonts it'll come in "jacked up"
  17. How Long?

    The majority of our work is short runs. No electrical. Special license is required for that. Magnets, decals, coroplast, pvc, banners, polymetal, .080 & .040 alum, & foamcore. We call em "bread and butter" jobs. Vehicle/boat/trailer "wraps" take longer. As do sandblasted HDU or Redwood. 50%...
  18. How Long?

    Long after? I agree that it all depends on the complexity but generally still should see some sort of rendering within 1-3 business days. And I agree that some jobs can go back and forth several times and over several months but still can be produced within 1-3 business days. Install of vehicle...

  20. RIP for AI

    eps is not the "safest" format unless ALL vector AND no gradients. Otherwise PDF or tif. We have both Adobe and Corel but we don't print ai or cdr files.
