  2. Back Cut

  3. Illustrator Help

    Separate it. From the picture and your explanation, I really don't know what part your talking about or exactly what you're trying to do so I can't be more specific. There's probably 6 different ways to go about it but in the end basically what you need to do is somehow make them separate...
  4. Myriad Pro font substitute?

    Here's an excerpt from Wikepedia: Myriad is a humanist sans-serif typeface designed by Robert Slimbach and Carol Twombly for Adobe Systems. The typeface is best-known for its usage by Apple Inc., replacing Apple Garamond as Apple's corporate font since 2002. Myriad is easily distinguished...
  5. X5 exporting to JPG

    There was a patch or service pack issued recently, if you haven't installed it you probably should download it and install it.
  6. LED Certified installer

    What class?
  7. setting up the rip to print

    Insignia, I think you absolutely have the right idea. I'm not familiar with Versaworks but I'll bet if you open the instruction book you could answer your own question a lot better than anyone here will.

  9. Anyone sign up for a Gerber Road Show event?

    I signed up and attended a Gerber Roadshow...a great inspirational seminar, especially for the cost...Free! Actually I had the same problem, I didn't receive my confirmation, and it turned out to be the simple matter of they had my email address incorrect. Call them and check on it, they are...
  10. Top rated material for heat transfer

    I've been using Color Print Sol 2160 for quite a while but I've not been totally satisfied with it. It has way too glossy a finish, has too heavy a feel and doesn't always hold up well to washing. I think the application method has to be consistent to have long term consistent performance too...
  11. Seaming 2 pieces of vinyl banner together

    I don't understand what your question is...you just tape the edge of one side, lay the pieces out so they match, secure each side so it doesn't move by taping it to the table or some other means, fold back one side and remove the tape liner, then starting in the middle fold them back together...
  12. Bumper Stickers

    Laminate just for ease of application.
  13. Vinyl knife tool for CNC router

    Janey, can't you just cut your patterns out on your plotter instead of drawing the pattern and then cutting out by hand? I die cut my materials all the time and I never did try it on paper but I don't see why you couldn't do it. What type and size patterns are you cutting generally and what kind...
  14. This should get a laugh..

    Hey, if I call your boss and tell him I would cut the coro but I don't have a machine, do you think he'd send me a coro-claw too? I could use a new one!
  15. Yes, you can get arrested....

    There is a new and relatively unknown license in Connecticut for electrical sign installation, http://www.ct.gov/dcp/cwp/view.asp?a=1624&q=461642 I'm sure this is the license they didn't have as no one knows about it. It does appear as if the facade had insufficient support for signs but the...
  16. Illustrator Text

    I assume you meant to say "Is that a solid points to inches formula?" ....well, no it isn't, it's just a formula that I use that seems to work approximately but consistently. That's the point actually, there doesn't seem to be any solid method of accurately and consistently sizing text in...
  17. Critique time....

    Minor details, I think her right arm looks hyper-extended or like the stick is attached to it. She is leaning back a bit far too, but acceptable. Also, the darker color on that back leg of the ladder seems a little off. Other than that I think it's a great design and I really like it!
  18. Illustrator Text

    Well, all those methods will give you a generally satisfactory result but not exact and perfectly consistent, especially if you are working with descenders and/or punctuation. It seems like such common sense that you should be able to automatically and easily create specific inch size text but...
  19. Illustrator Text

    I was wondering how any Illustrator users manage their text. Do you have your preferences set to measure text in points or inches? How do you handle creating a specific size text? I ask because the way that Illustrator works with text doesn't make sense to me. A point equals .0139 inches but...
