  1. CorelDRAW 2018 - Thoughts?

    Pretty sure all the fills are there, under the fill tool. You may have to do some searching for specific fills, or even copy them from your X6 disk to a folder in the computer to use them.
  2. Need Help Source for blank plaques

    Anyone know of a source for the oval blanks for this plaque? It's small, 3½" x 4½" x ⅜". The plate with the raised number and braille is separate and stuck on top. We just need to find a source for the base plaque. We can do custom routing, but a manufactured piece might be cheaper if it's...
  3. Font ID?

    Both are Impact.
  4. best material for full colour print on white plexi?

    If your translucent vinyl is off-white in color, try a different brand. We use Avery translucent white and it is very white. For the best color both daytime and when lit from behind, print the sign on clear and on the translucent, and mount the clear to the face first, then the translucent...
  5. Billboard/banner markup

    Even at 4 times that supplier cost, the billboard is grossly underpriced. When we painted billboards we charged more than that and the result was nowhere near as pictorially perfect. You're talking about an advertising message that is placed in a high traffic area and broadcasts the advertising...
  6. Font ID please

    It's Blippo Bold, using some of the letter variants.
  7. LED Box Sign Hot Spots - Diffuser Ideas?

    Around here I lose bids all the time because I bid pan faces for a sign made for them. The winner invariably puts in flat. Love being able to count the number of fluorescent bulbs still working without opening the cabinet though...:p
  8. Software Help CorelDraw x4 reinstall?

    You can't reinstall it until you've uninstalled it. If "repair" was available as an option, it hadn't been uninstalled yet.
  9. CorelDraw: Back of Layer Question

    I just tried doing what you are asking about. I can do the move up/down both by right clicking in Object Manager and using the mouse to click on the up/down or by selecting the object in Object Manager and just using the keyboard shortcut to do what I want.
  10. Punched vinyl issues

    Hanging chads. Must have come from Florida.
  11. Aluminum sign blanks

    Grimco, Wrisco, N. Glantz will all do custom sizes. You just have to buy whole sheets and have them cut up. If you're doing single signs custom sizes, buy the full sheet and cut it yourself.
  12. Question Looking for a double sided Poly material for printing with EcoSolvent Printer

    They make double sided banner materials which have a blockout layer between the sides. It can be made to work, but my advice is to run as far away from any double sided banner job as you can get. You'll waste a lot of time and material and patience.
  13. Suggestions best tool to install u post (sign post) in the ground

    For u-channel sign posts we use the long-handled, heavy post driver from Grimco, linked above, with the protective cap for the post. We can drive posts through asphalt parking lots, through limestone rock (of which we have a lot), pretty much anything we encounter. Two people works best.
  14. Ultrachrome Ink Durability/Longevity

    We use the S70670 set up for 10 colors, including orange. If we use a profile that uses all the colors, we get the same thing--reds turn pink after about 2 years. If we use what we call our "outdoor" profile, which uses all the colors except orange, then the longevity is the same as with our...
  15. Suggestions Painted Cinder Block Wall

    I wouldn't use the IJ8624 unless the graphic is temporary and will need to be changed in the near future. I think 1/4" acrylic is getting to the limits of using tape mounting, especially with a textured surface, which cuts your adhesive area.
  16. Need Help Need a Vinyl match for PMS 7686C

    I don't have that color on my Pantone charts, but looking at it online and looking at the color C100 M73 Y0 K10, I think just Vivid Blue might be the closest color.
  17. Font Help Please! TYIA

    The 9's are https://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=vipnagorgial , greatly compressed and slanted. The 1 is a different font. You could make it by modifying Impact or Helvetica or just drawing it yourself. The cuts in the letters you have to make yourself.
  18. How to apply prints?

    We make our work tables ourselves from lumber using 3/4" MDF for the top. Directly under them is a structure made from 2x6's to keep it rigid and flat. We use a light neutral gray or beige colored expanded PVC 3mm thick as the top surface, attached with banner tape. This is inexpensive enough...
  19. diecut poster paper?

    We did a large number of perf cut printed poster paper that went on room telephones (had holes for keypad, other buttons, with custom labeling). Worked great.
