  1. How to remove graffiti from vinyl print?

    The sovereign solution is you ask the client if they would like to buy some more of those.
  2. Font ID Help

    Not a type face, done by hand. The 'a's and the 's's are all slightly different. All in all this seems like a style one would want to forget.
  3. is there a way to get a "gold sparkle print effect"

    No need to print on gold. Print on the lightest metallic silver you can find. If you want excessive sparkle print on Aver Ultra Metallic. I do this all the time and it works very well. Your inks are translucent so whatever metallic content of the media comes right through.The lighter the colors...
  4. Arlo 2.0

    I was rather fond of the previous version. Curmudgeons are vastly more entertaining than simpering pollyannas.
  5. How to Enlarge shutterstock images for large wall murals

    If you view the resultant image from a distance proportional to the enlargement it looks pretty much the same. I.e. if you hold an 8"x10" image say 24" in front of your eyes and you enlarge that image x10 [area wise this would be 100X larger than the original] then view the enlarged image from...
  6. How to Enlarge shutterstock images for large wall murals

    Not necessarily. If the image is reasonably crisp any of the proprietary packages that use a spline fit can easily enlarge the image with no pixelization. There may be a bit of pixel bloom along indeterminate edges in the image but they're tiny in proportion to the output. I use PhotoZoom Pro...
  7. double sided window graphics... HELP!

    If the above were written by a sentient being one can only wonder at just what it would say.
  8. looking for knife that can cut backing paper.

    Everyone has their favorite gadget but know that any device that relies on blade depth is inherently flawed. This sort of cutter, at some time or another, will not completely cut the backing or will cut both the backing and the vinyl. A device that has some sort of platen the slides between...
  9. 8' tall panel saw???

    Why? If it's to be able to rip an 8' sheet just rotate the saw 90 degrees.
  10. what you do when you see this

    Try to follow along here sport. The thing was working and now it's not. Unless the printer demons diddled the settings of which you speak without proper authority then why would you do such a silly thing?
  11. Sign company name.

    Kinky
  12. Sign company name.

    Perhaps young Justin has a brother named 'Nicolas"?
  13. Keeping colors the same in exporting files

    Why bother with a tif? A one use jpg has every bit the acuity of a tif at a fraction of the disk space and time. The dreaded jpg loss is largely a thing of myth, something you use to scare small children into going to bed. If you're continually loading a jpg and then re-saving it you might...
  14. Keeping colors the same in exporting files

    Depends. Why are you exporting to Flexi? I create print files in Corel all of the time. If it's just a print then export a150 dpi RGB jpg and bring it straight into Production Manager. If it's a print and contour cut the create the cut lines as objects WITH NO OUTLINES, convert everything to be...
  15. Need wooden frames for Canvas prints

    Ordered from these people a while back. All of the product was filled with knots and other irregularities. Most of that order went to the dump. For vanilla 3/4" stretcher bars in 2" increments go to any farming shop, art supply, or hobby shop. Clear wood and reasonable. For anything else...
  16. How much concrete / Postecrete for a 6M flagpole?

    Postcrete etc. is rather low quality concrete. Crap actually. Use Sackrete or some other actual concrete mix. Better, get a 1/4 yard of concrete mix and a bag of Portland cement and mix it yourself. Best, see if someone is going to be pouring concrete in the vicinity and arrange for a 1/4 yard...
  17. Can Flexi tell you the square footage of a shape?

    Interesting. Being insatiably curious I asked myself just how I would go about doing the same thing programmatically. Just like in calculus, I'd fill the area, either vertically or horizontally, with very thin rectangles that intercept the boundaries of the object then sum the areas of all of...
  18. Can Flexi tell you the square footage of a shape?

    Depends. A star for example, assuming it's a regular star, can be deconstructed into a bunch of similar triangles and a center polygon. Other reasonably regular shapes also can lend themselves to simple deconstruction. A rectangle with round corners can be reduced to 4 quarter circles and 5...
  19. Can Flexi tell you the square footage of a shape?

    For all the grossly innumerate, height x width yields the area of a rectangle and nothing else. The original question dealt with determining the area of an indeterminate shape. While there are formulae for determining the area of regular geometric constructs like circles, ovals, certain...
  20. Using the term "die cut" vinyl lettering

    A practicing semi-literate wrote... How about Dictionary? A compendium of usage of which the editors were aware at the time it was published. A dictionary defines nothing. It is incapable of defining any word or term except 'Dictionary'. Often quoted by idiots in an ignorant attempt at...
