  1. VE-q54 and cutting stickers after contour cut.

    Since, if memory serves, your Q54 is really a Graphtec in disguise, what is the setting of the 'Condition Priority' in the 'Background Settings'? 'Manual' or 'Program'? You want to make sure it's set to 'Manual' so that the software cannot override your control panel settings.
  2. Removing Adhesive From Glass

    Rapid Remover or most any orange peel solvent will turn adhesive into something resembling snot. Then you scrape it up into a paper towel with a Lil Chizler or whatever. When you have all of the boogers removed then wash the glass with alcohol. Then wash it again with Rapid Tac II or some other...
  3. 20 Questions To Ask Clients Prior To Designing A Logo

    Which word didn't you understand? Perhaps some passage or another was difficult for you? I'm whelmed by your powers of analogy. Are you being deliberately obtuse or are you really as simple as you appear? Your idiotic analogy notwithstanding, 'Formal Fallacies', and their vicious cousins...
  4. 20 Questions To Ask Clients Prior To Designing A Logo

    So then, how can you tell if dismissing something a priori is critical or non-critical thinking. For example if someone were to pose that gravity is created by elves beating on anvils in the core of the planet, would dismissing them out of hand be non-critical thinking? Or, less specious, if...
  5. 20 Questions To Ask Clients Prior To Designing A Logo

    The first two points do not mean that nonsense should be considered. It's nice to have an open mind but don't let your brain fall out. The third point is merely a clumsy re-statement of Occam's Razor. Actually it should be Ockham's Razor, how the man got to be an Arab remains a mystery. The...
  6. 20 Questions To Ask Clients Prior To Designing A Logo

    In the spirit of one good turn deserving another, you might want to Google "Critical Thinking" perhaps with a sub-search on "Formal Fallacies".
  7. 20 Questions To Ask Clients Prior To Designing A Logo

    Utter nonsense I said and utter nonsense I mean. Explain, exactly, the difference between a 'thousands per logo design' effort and the '$300 "Bubba's Cell Phone Repairs "' product other that the level of bull$hit accompanying each. Use simple declarative sentences without any equivocation. Any...
  8. 20 Questions To Ask Clients Prior To Designing A Logo

    An entire list of utter nonsense. Other than "What flavor do you fancy? Modern, edgy, decco, techno, western, victorian, bright, dim, obscure, [insert other adjectives as they migh occur to you], etc." there's little else to be asked. That entire list of psychobabble drivel is useless. Take for...
  9. Edge Finishing Alumalite

    You can easily re-form the cut edges of aluminum laminates. I use a brass bar others use the round shaft of a large screwdriver but most anything will do. I run my brass bar over the edges at some angle or another with sufficient pressure to re-form the edge into a slight curve just like the...
  10. Scary Halloween Experience

    It's called satire, have someone read about it and explain it to you. Perhaps one of those trick or treating toddlers could be convinced to accommodate you.
  11. Scary Halloween Experience

    Perhaps it was some sort of darwinian test. Since the blades were not actually in the candy they may have been there to see if anyone could possibly be stupid enough to eat an Xacto blade because either it couldn't tell it from a Skittle or whatever, or worse, it would figure since the blade...
  12. Cutting Phototex - small cuts possible?

    Rounding all of the corners, especially the inside corners helps a bit. You want the blade to move around each corner rather than stopping and taking a new direction. The rounding doesn't have to be much, just enough to keep the blade moving in either an arc, preferably, or at least a series of...
  13. Airless paint sprayer

    ...Before you can get your finger off the trigger...
  14. Copyright question

    Your collective ignorance of copyright law does not alter that law nor does is the law's authority suspended because you believe otherwise. Unless specifically released the client does not own rights to any design work done by another. That ownership remains with the author regardless of any...
  15. Airless paint sprayer

    An airless spray rig is essentially a high pressure paint pump. Paint is incredibly abrasive and if that pump is not fashioned from some rather expensive and exotic materials it will wear out in short order. That's why you see el cheapo airless rigs with warnings about limited use. A good...
  16. Mets are going to win.

    I can't imagine that a contest featuring grown men playing catch and trying to hit a ball with a stick might be of interest to more than a handful of organisms in the entire galaxy. That being the case I never ceased to be amazed at the religious fervor of the masses microcephalics who seem to...
  17. RANT about our god darn consumer culture!!

    Most anything that uses consumables, like printers [especially desk top printers], coffee makers, small things that use batteries, etc. would seem to use the marketing model created by King Gillette in the early 20th century. That would be "Give away the razor but sell the blades." Desktop...
  18. anyone have a formula for print and cut decals?

    While I may or may not more than your gods I sure as hell know more than you and your posse. The point, which seemed to sail right by you, being that after you manipulate all of the minutia and agonize over meaningless details and I do not, if our rates are roughly the same then we will come up...
  19. anyone have a formula for print and cut decals?

    Anal nonsense. Just price it like any other print. That it happens to be in pieces means nothing. It shouldn't matter if it's one big image or any number of smaller images in the same space. Just figure out how much vinyl you unrolled and the overall print and cut areas and charge...
  20. Common signs

    I charge for media unrolled no matter how much or little of it gets printed. My lack of interest in what happens to the drop approaches total thus it goes in the trash. It's been paid for. Handsomely. I wouldn't waste the ink or the time printing spec signs on the drop. Perhaps this...
