  1. font help

    U know who you r? Why not the even more cryptic 'U no who u r'? You're not composing a telegram, feel free to use all the keys on your keyboard as civilized beings do.
  2. Help with some fonts.

    Why would anyone in their right mind want to reproduce that typographical train wreck?
  3. Print Pricing

    Operating on the assumption that you're planning on printing on a wide format machine, here's the direction you should head: uprinting.com, overnightprints.com, and any of a dozen other on-line OFFSET printers. Whomever you chose, call them, introduce yourself to the staff, and get a trade...
  4. Banner Grommet Wrinkles

    Dies, it's 'die' not 'dye', in grommet presses measure their lives in geologic eras. The matte version of a banner material may well be thinner or thicker that the gloss version. Banner material is categorized by weight not by thickness. The weight rating of any particular banner media means...
  5. Flexi not printing registration marks on a Mutoh falcon Jr

    You're using Flexi 8.1, a release with which I'm not familiar. I went from 7.something to 8.6 and I'm unfamiliar with Mutoh's registration marks, being a Graphtec shop. Regardless, a question and an observation. The question: Does the Rip and Print create both a print and a cut job in...
  6. Setting up Flexi on new computer, what are your CC settings?

    You would be referring to 'rendering intent' which is most likely where your problem is. Set the rendering intent for everything except bitmaps to 'No Color Correction', set bitmaps to 'Perceptual'. See if that doesn't make life a little better. The other rendering intent possibilities, like...
  7. Flexi not printing registration marks on a Mutoh falcon Jr

    I full well realize that what I'm about to ask is on a par with 'Is it plugged in?' but... Do you have any contour cut specified in Flexi? Either created with Effects->Contour Cut or declaring an existing path to be a contour cut via Arrange->Contour Cut->Make Contour Cut? Without at least...
  8. My final thought of the day, well Wkiipedia's actually

    Soccer? The game where two teams play for endless hours, riots ensue, governments are overthrown, and at the end of those endless hours of turmoil and scampering up and down a field, the score is something like 1 to 0? Watch that soccer? I'd rather be beaten with chains.
  9. My thought for the day

    Bad enough to surround one's self with motivational nonsense but there must be a special hell for those who go about quoting it. Quiet competence trumps motivational bull$hit every time.
  10. Need some serious help with contour cutting issue!! Graphtec 54"

    How long is the sheet you're trying to cut? The Flexi/Graphtec/ARMS trifecta can experience failure with prints much longer than 4-5 feet. Not always but not uncommon either. What happens, usually, is the the plotter reads the first mark and then sets off to where Flexi thinks the second mark...
  11. Trucking company t-shirt design

    The truck is good, not as art particularly but just a good job of hand tracing. The truck appears in black and white, in the foreground, and large. The oval thing appears in color, in the background, and is locked in a death struggle with the truck image on a could of levels. Both color and...
  12. My thought for the weekend

  13. Sales Taxes

    Originally the intent of a sales tax was to finance the infrastructure deemed necessary for businesses to operate. Now, of course and with virtually all taxes, it's Yet Another way the apparatus gets into your shorts. The argument about the lack of an internet sales tax being unfair to local...
  14. Off Gassing - recommendations

    Really? In order to hypothesize the existence of a something its mechanism must be demonstrated. Otherwise all you have is mindless belief. Do not confuse confirming** that something does not exist with dis-proving an hypothesis that it does exist. Two very different propositions...
  15. Off Gassing - recommendations

    Please explain how belief in X constitutes evidence of the existence of X. For extra credit, why do you discount the other half of the folk that believe it is a myth? Regardless, since solvent ink dries via rapid evaporation and vinyl is gas permeable the curious notion of 'outgassing'...
  16. My positive thought of the day

    You're my kind of guy, sport. "it's better to have two hands than one glove."
  17. Liquid lamination issues

    Here's the rule: Water based liquid laminate on solvent prints; solvent based liquid laminate on water based prints. Sometimes you can get away with water based on water based or solvent on solvent but that's all you're doing; getting away with it. Eventually it will bite you right in the...
  18. GCC Jaguar IV not closing paths completely

    More likely than needing any sort of calibration, you probably need to blow the dust and crud out of the tool carriage. Just remove the dust cover on the tool carriage and blow it out with either canned or compressed air. Pay special attention to cleaning out the tool up/down mechanism. When...
  19. Grouping and ungrouping

    Other than having the ability to visually turn on and off a layer there is really no reason to ever use more than one. In Corel, and most everywhere else, an image is necessarily an ordered collection of objects. Other than lacking the ability to choose to display or not display an object...
  20. Not liking the new site design.

    Myself as well. Not knowing which threads to which one has responded, at least it's not evident, is Not A Good Thing. Likewise the seeming expansion of the superfluous trivial information about who might be reading a thread, similar threads, etc, is pretty much a waste of space. On the two...
