I was thinking a 17 inch screen would be good 'cause when you have a program like corel, photoshop or illustrator loaded, the toolbars, menus etc take up a lot of the viewable real estate, leaving a much smaller space to view the actual file you are working on. I'm also in the market for a...

Hi Ross. Thanks for the reply about re-sharpening blades. I actually did send you a request about blades for my versa-camm and ordered a couple but did not get a response. I'll try again.. Ken

Well, you have opened the door... Takes some courage... Welcome from Beautiful BC! Don't be a low-baller, it's hard to resist, at first. Pay yourself. Consider not only your equipment costs+ materials...but also your time on the learning curve, insurance(for a real company), and your status...

Well, it's a really old thread to some. I would really like to be able to provide firefighter names on turn-out gear from my dept. and others. How do I do this? Thanks..Ken

Hello from Beautiful BC, Canada! Get the sponge out 'cause there is lots of info (and attitude) to soak up here.. I've learned that there is some contempt on these forums for the new guy wanting to buy a cutter and claim he is a sign guy. And rightly so.. There are numerous people here that...

You may need a lower version of corel. I used to use a stika 12 with corel 8 and that worked OK. I don't think X3 supports that machine. Ken

You might as well pump out some Harley graphics while you're at it... Good luck. Ken

Hey Ontario..first I must say, Welcome to signs 101..I think I missed your introduction. I would also like to say that the previous posters have given some sound advice. I have a P-Cut machine for about 3 years now. I think it was good value for my dollar. If your plan is to do strictly boat...

Hi Zeth..sorry to hear your parents are fading out. In Photoshop you can use the auto-contrast feature to help allieviate that! Welcome from BC...Ken

In my area ( BC) I'm seeing a few distributors are offering the sp300 as used (trade-ins). I own an sp300(notV) and I really like it. However, if I had the funds available at the time , I should have bought the 540. You may say that you are only going to do "small stuff" now. But when people...

Arial Bold could be modified on the C, & and G. Ken

Bonjour de BC! Are you still with the sign shop or totally on your own now? Are you hand painting, cutting or printing vinyl? What is your target? Yes, this is a great learning experience here. Ken

Hi Carlos. Welcome to Signs 101 from BC, Canada. I think it's great that you are bringing your experience to these forums. Sounds like your a Photoshop guy? Have you tried any of the plug-ins with PS? Ken

Try this: Cut your outline size letters first.(ie: black) Then cut out your letters to proper size.(ie:white) Lay down the outline as one unit. Apply the letters (one by one) on top of the outline. ( Use application fluid to position correctly, or clear transfer tape without app. fluid if...

Re-sharpening blades.... Is it worth it? How is this done? Ken

Hi Fred. Yes, not a whole lot of "entries" on this, and I think the ones posted are just not "getting it". You are looking for a real world campaign..not a play on road-kill. I hope to find some time to put something together. Can you provide me with 30 hours a day? lol Ken

try www.signmax.us There is a CT630 package there. Good value for the $. I can do as small as 3/8 text with it. ( 60 degree blade required) I can also cut 12 foot (or more ) long. Ken

Hi Biff. Welcome to signs101 from BC. Nice to have someone of your experience here. Can you tell me what I would need to produce full color business cards? I assume they are printed as a sheet then cut with some kind of shear. Can this be done with my versacamm sp300 on cardstock? Ken

There seems to be a lack of plug-ins for corel. I will use photoshop to utilize the plug-ins that I have then export that to Corel as a .tiff file , then add text etc. for out-put to my versacamm. Really, you need both corel and AI. and photoshop...and a .pdf reader/compiler. I find corel to...

Or, you could always Format:C...kidding..don't do that. Partition Magic is good. Ken
