  1. Anyone having trouble with Oracal 751 falling off in a few days?

    No chance at all. These guys are literally family.(I had supper at their house last night) and the decals are 12 feet off the ground. Adrian
  2. Anyone having trouble with Oracal 751 falling off in a few days?

    Kinda wondering about that Baz. I only order the stuff in 10 yard rolls so it was fresh from my perspective. No telling how long my supplier had it though. I get about 18 of these decals out of 10 yards so I'm also wondering why the previous 10 haven't done this. Adrian
  3. Printing to cheap wood to make it look like exotic wood....

    This sign is HDU that I "grained" with a fat brush and some runny brown paint. The panel was a pastel mustardy colour base coat. The black lettering is V carved. Adrian
  4. .060 Styrene - What to do with the waste?

    Ship it to me post paid. I vac form model airplane parts out of it. But seriously... Try selling it to a shop that vac forms stuff. You could contact who ever sells it to you and see if they have a customer that could use that size. Adrian
  5. Want to share your failed Before and After attempts?

    These "unauthorized" logo revisions generally end in disaster. I did this a few times in the early years but after experiencing pretty much the same reaction as you I decided I would rather produce the crappy "nephew art" and get paid. Adrian
  6. Anyone having trouble with Oracal 751 falling off in a few days?

    I lettered 7 trucks last week and they sat in the yard waiting for satellite installs so have yet to turn a wheel on the road. The 751 decals on the air dams are literally falling off from the top down. I have been installing these decals in 751 for the past 8 years... several hundred trucks...

    Thanks to all who posted. I have it working now. Adrian
  8. How do I get Roland spot colours into Corel draw?

    Thanks for the posts. I have X4. I just need to find the color pallet file from Roland and install it. I'm not having much luck with that. Adrian
  9. How do I get Roland spot colours into Corel draw?

    I'm using a sp540v and I have trouble getting some colours to look good. I'm having an issue with dark green at the moment. I printed the Roland colour charts in Versaworks and I can see the printer is capable of printing the colour I want. I just don't know how to make Corel produce it. I'd...

  15. Need advice for a new laser cut machine

    It was custom made for me. You just contact them and tell them what you want to do and they spec out a machine for you. Adrian
  16. A online color test, how well can you see colors?

    I got 7. I'm 55 so I expected a little degradation. Maybe if I cleaned my glasses I would do better. I think it's a neat test but I think we would all have to take it on the same monitor to be really valid. I've sent the link to some friends and colleagues. I'm going to get my wife to take...
  17. Need advice for a new laser cut machine

    There is a picture of one in post #31. Adrian
  18. Need advice for a new laser cut machine

    In answer to post #33: These are all questions you can answer yourself by asking questions of the correct authorities in your area. Most of the Chinese factories I researched will send a technition to your place to repair a machine. I can't imagine what this would cost. My machine had to pass...
  19. Need advice for a new laser cut machine

    It was easy. The instructions are in English and were just ok. I had to ask a few questions of my sales rep via Skype. She really new her stuff. I had my machine built with Ruida controllers and so I got Ruida software. I got the tech in China to setup the CorelDraw plug-in via TeamViewer. I run...
  20. Need advice for a new laser cut machine

    I found that if you bought the laser from the manufacturer in China the laser was about half the price. My 51" x 36" Bodor laser was $3700 plus $1000 to have it shipped here(Canada) by Coles International. A comparable Chinese laser from a US importer was about $9000 at the time. Coles did the...
