The actual work appears to be quite nice. Unfortunately the design is just this side of awful with childish overtones. A nephew who can draw perhaps? No matter what you say or how you protest, this abomination will be attributed to you.

Feelings? That's it? Really? I should think that that would be the point. If you read something that hurts your delicate feelings, deal with it. No one else on the planet cares. Paraphrasing the character C.K. Hornbeck in the play 'Inherit The Wind': "It's the job of sarcasm to comfort the...

Please describe the pertinent differences between the behavior of inanimate objects and the behavior of human beings that makes the former fodder for sarcasm but grants the latter immunity from same.

It's whelming.

That's hand lettered and a strange and eclectic mix of characters as well. Just find something that will do.

Nonsense. Use 10oz banner material and give the prints a coat of Clear Shield. Prints on banner media tend to suffer their share scratching. It comes with the territory. Laminating banners has never been entirely satisfactory, the banner material is far more flexible than the laminate. That...

There's well over twenty answers here. Perhaps none of them would be something you want to hear, but they are answers nonetheless. The point being that, generally, the cost of vinyl is one of the most insignificant components of a job. Hideously expensive specialty media notwithstanding. All...

Get a loupe from any camera shop, or merely a 10X-20X magnifying glass will do the trick. If under at least 10X magnification, more is better, the very tip of a good blade will be pointed. There will by no, none, nada, zip, zero, rounding or chipping on the tip. If there is, change blades. It...

Right track but discordant levels of detail between the compass device and the text. Maybe something like this...

If you think about it 1/16" in 4' is one part in 768. Not all that bad for a mechanical friction feed device. But still unacceptable for a contour cut. There is always a difference between what the plotter thinks is an inch and an actual inch. Hence the feed compensation adjustment. It...

It must be difficult for you to live in a world where you feel the need to hire a technician to interpret the rules for you. The fundamental post-Berne convention copyright law is easily understood by even the most addled. The various stunts described in this thread are just that, stunts...

The need for repositioning is most often a direct result of a dearth of common sense and bubbles are the inevitable product of a dubious application technique.

That's true. There was this one time when I thought I was mistaken about something.

Easier to do it this way. Cut a pertinent bounding rectangle that aligns with points of interest on the first layer for each subsequent layer.

So then, in your straw man example, where would you put these squares? If this example were a real live thing, I'd just drop the various colored objects in by eye. It would be at least as accurate as any other way. Waste vinyl? Vinyl used for registration is not wasted. If a bit of vinyl in...

Helpful? Perhaps I should have been more to the point. That would be that knowing, and using, the correct nomenclature is at least half of all wisdom. The other half would be in knowing and expressing in the simplest terms possible a correct description of the mechanism at work. Merely...

No matter what form of registration mark you choose to use, vagaries in media and app tape almost guarantee that multiple layers will not line up precisely. The larger they are, the worse they will be. By far the easiest way is to cut the same, exactly the same, bounding rectangle around each...

Without watching the entire thing again and taking copious notes, here's a few observations in no particular order... 'Raster' is a digital display technology, not a type of image. The type of image to which you refer is popularly called a 'bitmap'. Even that is a misnomer, it should really...

After watching the entire excruciating 15 minutes I offer the following... This is, at best, raster vice vector as seen by the Marin county housewives or some other coven of dilettantes. The knowledge and, more importantly, the understanding of the material as demonstrated in the explanations...

Manual registration marks in the software and, unless you have incredible eyesight or your elderly Graphtec has a built-in laser pen, a bomb sight device, which momentarily replaces the blade holder for registration, will work just fine. This sort of manual system has been in use long before...
