My little cabbage [it's either that or 'silly fat cow'], you give every appearance of a being that is not in possession of a clue. Not only as to the business to which you aspire but as to how these sorts of fora function as well. For the former; silver is printed upon all of the time. You...

A depreciated version of the Slippery Slope fallacy. "If doing X will save just one life..." is a favorite of politicos selling some agenda or another. Almost as good as the insipid "It's for the children". First, it very much depends on the nature of X and just whose life is being saved...

Interesting, since in every state in which I've lived one doesn't even need a functioning rear window as long as there are a pair of side mirrors. As for side windows, as long as they're behind the front seat they seem to be fair game as well. If these were not the cases then one might think...

If memory serves, this was the way I did functionally the same thing a few years back. Note that the outer border merely serves to set the registration marks outside of all of the action and hold them constant for each of the two contour cut passes. Also note that, depending on your...

Sort of. Grommets are standard sizes, a #2 grommet is a #2 grommet**. The dies in any given press should be machined for these standard sizes, not vice versa. **Notably excepted are el cheapo grommets and presses emanating from the Pacific Rim. With these you pays your money and you takes...

Turn off the weed border, why do you need it? Regardless, if a double cut goes through the backing either your blade is out too far or you're using too much pressure or both.You should be able to make a reasonable number of passes over the same path and not cut through the backing.

Exactly. Your RIP is dealing with a vector object overlaid with a bitmap object. If your rendering intents [and they are there somewhere called something] are different for each flavor of object, you'll get different renditions of what you think is the same color. If you're going to use a...

Park Avenue and Copperplate? It looks like a refugee from Mainline Embossing circa the 1950's.

Bubbles and their vicious cousins wrinkles are almost always the result of dubious squeegee technique. Error is one thing, being able to perform fundamental sign making tasks properly is yet another. Inability is inexcusable.

Hand lettered. Just select something in a condensed roman that has a similar thick/thin weight ratio and serif structure and diddle it.

On Corel's file selection dialog's view menu select medium or better icons.

Here, 5 minutes with Corel. Just a letter with a couple of contours and some judicious trimming.

Any semi-literate scissorbill with a minimally functional set of ears and primitive synthesis and typographical skills can give a client what they want. The object is to give the client what it needs and, if necessary, convince it that's what it really wants. Your van design is pedestrian. It...

In the image you show those shadows appear to be merely multiple objects. You can see the bit of sloppiness on the two inside corners shown. There's any number of ways to create them. Multiple inlines on the white fill, drop shadows on the red outline, etc.

Export the files as Legacy CMX. Gradients can get funky. Or not. Everything else will import just fine.

Never having been in the same zip code as Versaworks, I have no idea as to how to get to where you need to be. That being said, your mention of 'colormetric' is somewhat telling and, if specified, might be the culprit. You want to set the rendering intent for vectors to whatever the...

What type of image, vector or bitmap? What are your rendering intents? Is there an imbedded profile anywhere in the process? The wrong combination of things such as these, and perhaps others, can result in funky whites.

With possible rare exceptions, a sign is some combination of text and images on some surface or another. There's nothing to wear out ergo there's nothing to maintain. You put up a sign, it wears out mostly by fading, and then at some time in the future you replace it with a new sign. During that...

Would it be safe to assume that the 440ml cartridges will also work in a 1204? Or not?

Flexi doesn't handle transparencies with sufficient skill and grace such that Alien Skin will recognize them. If you endlessly diddle around with masks and other stuff, you can sometimes get it to work but, for the most part, Alien Skin sees most every bitmap from Flexi, transparent or not, as a...
