  1. Help! Success using Flexi as RIP software??

    When you invoke Flexi's Rip and Print for a job with a contour cut path specified on the Registration Mark menu on the Contour tab select '4 Point". It should be the first item on the menu. Print the job. There will be a small cross with a couple of concentric circles printed at each corner...
  2. Logo Design Mockup base on Pat's 10 minute logo

    I'm not encouraging anyone to do anything. One can have a complete understanding of all of those things you list and still not be able to draw a stick figure. Just like anyone can go to school and study music. Learn all of the notes, progressions, modes, harmonies, rhythms, buy an...
  3. Logo Design Mockup base on Pat's 10 minute logo

    Nonsense compounded by an incomprehensible analogy. Design in the context of designs, logos, and other stuff endlessly discussed in these waters, is far more a job of synthesis than producing any original art. Synthesis being the creation of original work using, and sometimes tweaking...
  4. Logo Design Mockup base on Pat's 10 minute logo

    Ladder? Is this being also a fireman or a roofer? Why not include an irrigation pump or a bumper jack should you have those images laying about? Regardless, the attempt at a monogram is rather dismal. If you want to make a proper monogram the initials should properly be intertwined somewhat...
  5. Where to find a Female Spartan/Trojan Warrior

    Perhaps the pesky fact that there were no female Spartan warriors might be confounding your search.
  6. Logo for my new business

    Here' the thing, sport. No one ever learns as much from positive reinforcement as they might from negative feedback. That being the case, any rational being would suggest listening to the negative responses and not paying all that much attention to the mostly Pollyanna-like positive drivel. Do...
  7. Logo for my new business

    Looks like aggressively mediocre graffiti one might encounter under a railway bridge. Don't quit your day job just yet...
  8. Whatcha think?

    Other than it's a typographical collision at sea, it's OK if you like that sort of thing.
  9. Need square footage help

    Charge for vinyl unrolled, not vinyl installed. Is the difference betwixt the two not clear?
  10. Michael Jackson Death Anniversary

    I would estimate that there might be three, maybe four, organisms in the entire galaxy who would note the date that this specimen sucked the pipe. Any modest talent it might have possessed most certainly was eclipsed by the rest of its bizarre being and what passed for its life.
  11. Need square footage help

    Why would you care about that? You should base everything, not the least of which is what you charge, for vinyl unrolled, not vinyl applied.
  12. The Complete Chalkart Image Library Available on USB

    Nice work, truly. Too bad it's insanely overpriced. Overpriced far beyond the point where it's more attractive, for some, to steal it rather than pay for it. Still, nice work, though the subject matter is just a bit vertical. How many images of pastrami sandwiches, or whatever, does the...
  13. Cleaning Edge of Polymetal/Aluminum

    When any of the products you listed are saw cut there usually are no burrs on the resulting edge to remove. The metal is merely deformed and only needs to be reformed back into a good edge. It's much simpler to simply reform the edge using a piece of hardwood or brass. There is no reason to cut...
  14. Where do I start

    You, sir or madam as the case may be, are the only sane voice in this entire discussion. Everyone is presented with some iteration of this problem at some time or another. I run a sign shop, my lack of interest in recreating something like this, no matter how lucrative, is of Brobdignagian...
  15. To distress / artificially age or not ???

    Try scrubbing, hard, it with kitchen cleanser, like Ajax or any other powdered cleanser. Just pretend you're cleaning a sink. It's mildly abrasive and contains bleach. It tends to do a more uniform and far better looking job than sandpaper, abrasive pads, etc.
  16. triangle in question?

    Having wrangled both a Falcon and a Value Jet, the only physical difference in cartridges would appear to be that the Value Jet edition has a smart card pasted to it and the Falcon does not. The Falcon cartridge doesn't use that, or any other, technology. Other than the card, the actual...
  17. Eco-Print Profile?

    I print my share of that material using an Oracal 720^2 3651G profile, the one from Oracal. Works perfectly. But then I print 99.9% of everything with that same profile. Because I know that unless you're trying to reproduce some work of art or another and you have the original sitting right...
  18. Will vinyl stick to signacade?

    It's far simpler to just put the copy on a panel. The price difference between going through all of the heating nonsense with its attendant risk and the additional panels should be pretty close to a wash. No one has ever melted or otherwise damaged one of these things screwing on a panel.
  19. Vinyl Combination...

    1440x720 is a waste of ink. If it doesn't print well for you at 720x720 you have other problems. If you're using anything close to a decent profile, have your rendering intents set properly [no color correction for every thing but bitmaps, bitmaps set to perceptual], and the gradient handling...
