Hey guys and gals. I did manage to repair this myself. Parts were about $85. I had a snag in that I was sent the wrong parts ( for a 540) so that caused a delay, and I was pretty pissed about that. " Cause I had my machine all apart, ready to install the new stuff, with the disassembly fresh in...

Keith and Wayne..thanks so much for your efforts..and thanks for your explainations as how you worked the image. Cheers..ken

Watch out Tahoe!..Here he comes! Cheers! Ken

When I searched IStockphoto they had some rather macabre looking b/w images there. Ken

Thanks..Bedtime for Bonzo.. Ken

Are you able to compare that trace-ability in CS2 to Corel X3? I'm thinking X3 is pretty good , it just let me down on this tiny image. Thanks...Ken

Thanks PMG..I'll do a print for the client..I'm thinking too detailed of an image. He was saying he wasn't stuck on the existing image..so maybe. Cheers! Ken More info.. This, or whatever scarecrow image, will be part of a rooftop sign along the Trans Canada Highway..2 feet x 48 feet

No problem.. These little puzzles keep things interesting, the workarounds keep me on my toes... Cheers! Ken

That's a scary crow Flame.. Ken

The scarecrow... This is the image I sent to Eric for vectorizing. I had "pre-cleaned" it somewhat, in an attempt to make his job easier. The first image is 1 inch tall from a business card. The second image is what I've been able to do thus far. The final image will be about 20 inches tall...

Thanks Mark. In the past I've worked this a few different ways. Scanning a card image, using the camera on macro mode and the paper enlargement/trace/re-scan/edit nodes. Recently I've had success with Corel trace, but not this time. In fact, I'll post some thumbnails here next, to give you all...

Thanks Flame, it may come to that. This is one of those.."Here's my business card with clip art..make my sign like this!" I tried corel trace but I was unsatisfied with the results. I tried Eric but, I dunno, he is having some difficulty of some sort now, and refused the job. I've actually...

Thanks, I'll check out Istock. Hoping the client likes yours Fred. Ken

Been searching today for a couple of hours for a simple scarecrow image, just a head and shoulders image but a full image could be modified. Anyone point me in the right direction.? Thanks. Ken PS..I found one that may be suitable at Express clipart, the client needs to see it.

HI. Welcome from Beautiful BC. It may be that you have an open path within the file. When the blade gets to that point , it just does not know what to do and goes "searching" til it hits the reset. I would check that. Cheers! Ken

Yeah, I'd try the Corel Trace feature..in X3..or the vector doctor. Ken

I was applying vinyl to an excavator today..Just as I was pressing down the vinyl, a fly got stuck to the sticky side. I picked it off as best I could..but that one may have a permanent bubble. lol Cheers! Ken

Thanks Munch and Fred thanks. It did turn out to be Fontleroy Ken

HI Guy. Welcome to Signs 101. I once walked into the office of a very successfull businessman. As I entered the room, the phone rang. He picked up the phone and, without hesitation said " Hello this is "Joe Blo" how are you?..He made it clear to the person on the other end of the line that he...

Don't know the machine, but I'm thinking 150 dpi is overkill. Ken
