  1. My beautiful sign ruined!!

    That's the one part of the sign that's correct. The animal in the silhouette has a mane and this is a particularly nice portrayal of same. If the silhouette had an uninterrupted curve representing a neck then it would be more a symbolic horse icon than an actual animal. The rest of the sign is a...
  2. syringes

    Any feed or farm supply from 5cc to 35cc and beyond. An hour ago I just bought some syringes down to the local farm co-op to give West Nile shots to my horses. A massive 29 cents apiece. The vaccine, of course, was 100 times that price. Per dose.
  3. market value

    The general rule of thumb for manufactured goods is 5X the cost of material. Start from there and you won't go very far wrong.
  4. advanced Flexi question

    Well then sport, what your regard as a 'proper answer' didn't answer your question. You posed your problem in Flexi, not Illustrator and then engaged in spirited a rubber of 'what if' changing the parameters of your original query. Apparently your concept of a 'proper answer' and my own vary...
  5. advanced Flexi question

    What if? You want to play 'what if'? What if the 'circles' were actually a collection of views of a bandicoot's butt hole? You said 'circles' which is a very specific construct in Flexi. You wanted to alter the radius but only a circle possesses a radius, not simple something that appears to be...
  6. advanced Flexi question

    Do this... Press the 'd' key, just 'd', no ctl, alt, or anything, just 'd'. Or do Edit->Select->Select By Attributes. Either way this will display the 'Select By Attributes' dialog. On the first tab of this dialog check the box for 'Circles' Press the OK button. Now all the circles...
  7. Font help if possible please.

    Your sample is hand lettered.
  8. Surface Textures?

    Hit the surface in question with a drywall texture gun then paint it. You can deliver most any texture from slight to heavy and, if you want, you can knock down the sprayed on texture with a trowel for a whole new spectrum of textures.
  9. Best printer

    What's the best pickup truck? Printers of a type, much like pickup trucks, are functionally identical. That doesn't seem to faze the typical printer chauvinist who just knows that whatever iron they might be wrangling is far superior to any other. Just like pickup trucks.
  10. when you are ready to throw in the towel

    Give them a coat of Clear Shield, wait an hour or three, depending, then do anything you want with them.
  11. Gold Leaf

    Four options. The three that you list and #4: print it. The right pale yellow base, the right grunge texture, and the right bump map printed on metallic silver and laminated produce something that can look more like gold leaf than gold leaf. That's because the vast majority of people have no...
  12. Flexi Wash Out

    Where to begin... First off, any monitor display regardless of software package, is RGB. Such is the nature of additive color wherein the more colors you combine the closer to white you get. As opposed to subtractive color which is what you get when you print something. With a subtractive...
  13. Help with typeface identification

    I've seen this somewhere but I have no clue as to what it might be. Seems like an odd choice for this sort of sign.
  14. Welding in Corel?

    No, i was attempting to double down on it. Perhaps too subtle?
  15. Welding in Corel?

    Only if you have a somewhat tenuous understanding of your tools. No edge tracing nowhere nohow will ever reproduce the original object. You do an edge trace if and only if you have no other choice. Since the OP came to understand how to use the tools he had and successfully produced a cuttable...
  16. Welding in Corel?

    Perhaps you might acquaint yourself with the concept of doing something properly as opposed to resorting to a slovenly pragmatic method that might let you skate by.
  17. Welding in Corel?

    Select both the inner and out parts of the 'O' and combine them into a single object. Then weld this object to the ball.
  18. Welding in Corel?

    Assuming the "Diamond Dolls' is a single object, either text or vector, and the baseball outline is also an object merely select them both and then do Arrange->Shaping->Weld. At least the complete ball outline, the 'M', and the 'O' must be objects, the 'O' consisting of two vectors, and they...
  19. photo enlargement for large format

    Not quite. There are algorithms that do exactly that. The quality is the same plus or minus but the problem is that the no one has ever seen the image at the expanded size. There's not a whole hell of a lot of difference between expanding and image with one of these spline fit algorithms and...
  20. New to flexi - color issues.

    That's because there is no standards,none, nada, zip, zero, for transparencies** and gradients and every package rolls their own. Ergo, you make these sorts of things into bitmaps before you start exporting and importing here and there. **While gif files do support a kind of transparency...
