Hello from Beautiful BC! I am interested in your mobile set-up. How do you power it? What kind of equipment do you use? What are the necessary materials to keep on hand? What problems have you encountered working this way? Thanks. Ken

Way back, when I had a Stika cutter I WAS able to cut directly from Corel. My newer cutter and the versacamm cannot cut directly from Corel. Which is actually a backstep in that regard. Now all files from corel must be converted to .eps if they are cutting files. You need to export as .eps (...

Andy... Andy. It's just that a lot of the world, and probably most Brits, still think of Canada as a colony of the British Empire. The French ( France) likely think similarly. This is just not so. I also oppose the maintenance of the position of the "Governor General" in Canada as a...

Thanks for the links also. I like the reflection shown. I think your text is a bit too white at the top. But, really, very nice. Len

Hey Jill...Happy Hallowe'en! You're lookin' good tonite! Actually, pretty neat how you added perspective and shadow to the wall sign... Ken

I have a "cheap cutter" -CT630- and a versacamm. I cannot output files to both at the same time. I would need a separate computer to drive each if using simultaneously. What I do, though, is to cut vinyl first, then start the printing , then weed etc with the vinyl while the print is happening...

Fred..Canada is completely free and independent of the British Empire since Trudeau was prime Minister. I absolutely detest the name " British Columbia". We are not British and although the Columbia mountains run thru this province, we are not Columbian either. I'm starting a petition to change...

Yes, I've noticed thru my font searches how many fonts are re-named and presented as "new". Sometimes they take the trouble to minutely change certain aspects of the font. No wonder we have a gazillion fonts in this world! Hey , I think I'll make my own font! Ken

I kick myself in the a** every time I have to call and sub out any banner bigger than 28". Basically every banner call I get. Would you consider applying printed vinyl to a banner and tiling the panels ..or is that a bad idea? We have all cut out vinyl lettering that is applied to a...

Yes Fred, that's basically it. When I click on the thread it takes about 40 seconds to appear at this end. Though, it was faster today. Like about 30 seconds. Not an expert at all, I think the thumbnails slow the process. Perhaps just internet traffic volume... Ken

Well, I have had this happen 3 times now. The client has already basically designed a sign using some small graphics program like Printshop or the one that comes with Epson etc. They are stuck on the font, so they send it over to me from their windows font folder. Those fonts came within the...

Fred, I would like to participate. I have a slow speed connection and I envision that by the time hundreds of submissions are made that it will take about an hour to download this thread. The folks at letterhead had a similar problem and somehow divided the post to make accessability faster. Is...

The Corel Trace in the newest Corel X3 is pretty good at vectorizing solid color graphics. No way you can vectorize a photo with it. See the VectorDoctor.com for fast, reliable help. Ken

I Have about 300 installed..about 5000 on hand...Ken

Hi from BC, Canada. 2 1/2 years ago I bought a Creation CT 630 ( 24 inch cutter) pretty good value for the $. If you go this route and have a choice between winpc software or artcut..go with winpc. Good luck..Ken
