  1. Question How to save art for vehicle wraps?

    We do all our panels beside or under the final design in Corel. We try to stick to seemless if at all possible.
  2. Need Help Is my workplace safe ?

    Is that an HP360?
  3. Logo guidelines specifies a pantone color but...

    I figured that was the case. I'm using the pantone color 185 C and will export for print as a pdf. When we ask as customer to pick a color from the pantone chart they will pick either the C or CP. So since we don't always use pdf for print we have to input the formulas according to the book...
  4. Need Help Has anyone tried to contour cut twice on same job?

    two cuts on the first go around - 1 actual cut to shape the other a larger contour around. Weed out then laminate. Now a 3 cut line in between the 2 others. Delete the orig two then cut.
  5. Logo guidelines specifies a pantone color but...

    I was given a logo along with the guidelines. Aks for a Pantone 185. That's it. Isn't it important to specify whether it's "C", "CP", "U", etc? I like to refer to my Pantone book to reference the rgb color formula as usually the final for print will be a 150dpi rgb tif. And the actual pantone...
  6. Need Help Has anyone tried to contour cut twice on same job?

    Yes, but we use Corel with FineCut 8 on a Mimaki plotter.Why not just delete the first cut then cut the next?
  7. Need Help Corel Draw won't export jpeg

    Delete temp files, try again
  8. What is a more proper description?

    A designer is tasked to provide a background for a 2 x 6 banner and they'll just fill in the text as needed. I automatically assume they mean 2h x 6w. If one is to make directions "dummy proof" then it is imperative to include either the "w" & "h" or "landscape" or "portrait" ps 6 x 2 still...
  9. What is a more proper description?

    This may be a debatable issue but what is the more proper way to describe the dimensions of a sign? A 12 x 18 is missing one pertinent piece of the description. Landscape or portrait? I always refer to a banner as 2 x 6 "landscape" or 2h x 6w. Never would I refer to a banner as 6 x 2. One...
  10. Hello From Miami - We get to the beach once every three months-

    That's what I mean. You can take the catalytic converter off your car too.
  11. What next after JV33?

    We had a JV we loved until it came time for a $7000 repair. Replaced with an HP360. Color output will never be the same. Good luck printing replacement panels for fleet vehicles you wrapped from prints on the Mimaki. We do this a lot especially on sheriff cars. They hit deer all the time here...
  12. Hello From Miami - We get to the beach once every three months-

    Florida has 2 major military installations and we don't have to wait in long lines to get a vehicle inspected every year. I will admit that when the military gave me an assignment to South Florida I had to decline. I've been there, didn't like it. Stopped at a Burger King to ask directions once...
  13. Need Help Design tips for curved rear window - perforated vinyl

    Add a "smiley face" to the design. Basically curving everything into a smiley face look. When applied it "flattens" out. If you have the time the whole pattern idea works too. Done that a few times when designing stripes for the hood of Mini Coopers. I don't use templates for the simple fact...
  14. Discussion Considering the switch to latex, Who's done it and Whats your thoughts

    And your experience with loading/unloading the 360? Major pita when compared to Mimaki. We change substrates 5-10 times a day. Oh, and the 6-8 ft of waste to connect to the take-up. If you skip the take up you get head strikes out the wazoo! And what about the procedure for using the take-up...
  15. Rounded Corners: Can Anyone Explain This!?

    As produced in CorelDRAW
  16. Discussion Considering the switch to latex, Who's done it and Whats your thoughts

    We went from a Mimaki to HP360. Hate everything about the 360 as seen throughout these forums. The latest 560 looks like a huge improvement. Maybe HP is actually listening to their users and correcting things. As for going Latex? Good move for the ability to laminate right away. Color will take...
  17. banner hem with rounded corners

    Thanks, we do that occasionally.
  18. Font peculiarity

    Anyone have "GT-Helv_Bold_Ext_1-00" font? I have it but it's doing a weird thing that makes it unusable. I'm just choosing a different font within that family. Just wanted to know if anyone else has problems with it..
  19. banner hem with rounded corners

    We hem all our banners with 1" double=stick tape then grommets. I have a 5ft x 10ft banner with 8" radius corners. Any tips for hemming. Relief angle cuts is my thought.
  20. Fonts suddenly not showing up on CoreldrawX7

    Yes, a Microsoft update about 2-3 months ago is the culprit. I'm still having font issues. Design and save then open a week later and the font is missing.
