  1. Canvas Stretcher Bars Source...

    All Graphics sells them, not sure how they compare price wise though
  2. Extended Warranty?

    Our machine is about 3 years old, we are in the same boat as you, we are not a high production shop. I have yet to need any type of maintenance on the machine outside of the usual. I would do the same thing I do when asked if I want an extended warrenty at Future Shop, take the money it would...
  3. How long does eco-solv ink last outside unlaminated

    we had a banner on our old shop directing customer to our new place, it was up for 4 years before the new tenants moved in and took it down, it was a bit faded, but still perfectly legible.
  4. Type glyphs not in X5???

    i ran across this myself, one of our good customers was using the font Kievit, which has a separate set of characters for the numbers, I found out that corel doesn't support all the features of the opentype format (in this case proportional lining) and there was absolutely no way of accessing...
  5. New Illustration Project.

    makes me think of the 80's movie Weird Science, you're not going to try to bring her to life when you are done, right Joe?
  6. Should I dump Thunderbird ?

    This thread is very helpful! I never knew you could use gmail as a mail client with your own domain! I set it up this morning and looks like it's going to be a vast improvement over thunderbird! Thanks Addie
  7. "Save As" or "Print" PDF?

    I use publish to PDF, there are a few options depending on your desired use of the file (prepress, document distribution, web etc.)
  8. Fun little "Gift" project

    WOW! That looks amazing, I'm sure he will be absolutely thrilled to receive it!
  9. Photoshop and Photopaint basically equal?

    I'm going to have to disagree, some of the best designers on this site use Corel products, Joe Diaz, SignManiac and Neato to name a few are corel users, i'm sure i'm missing a few as well.
  10. Photoshop and Photopaint basically equal?

    I'm having the opposite problem, I can't get any to work in PhotoPaint lol
  11. Photoshop and Photopaint basically equal?

    Photoshop has much better aftermarket suport such as plug-ins and many online tutorials, I use CorelDraw as my day to day design program and I love it, but photoshop is better supported. But like Bob said, it comes down to the dummy with the mouse, not the program!
  12. Late fee?

    And even if you could, what good is a sign that says "Bob's Sandwich Shop" you can't put it back on the shelf like at Wally World!
  13. Wall Vinyl NOT sticking

    Use phototex, i haven't come across anything it won't stick to, and you don't need to laminate
  14. Is it or some other process?

    Sublimation maybe?
  15. Life of 3M vs Avery vs Oracal vs Arlon wrap vinyl

    I wouldn't be telling my customer their wrap will last that long! The average life expectancy for these vinyls is under absolutely perfect conditions, which a wrapped vehicle will never be. I don't do wraps myself, but I believe the industry standard warranty is 1 year, 2 years TOPS. It's...
  16. mounting plastic letters to glass block?

    I'm curious why you think mounting with silicone would fail after only 2 years? we have had many successful installations this way that have lasted much longer than that, the only reason we have to redo them is due to theft.
  17. How long should paint cure on drywall?

    Silicone additives, A lot of paints have these mixed in them now, they are marketed as "easy clean" or similar, they are put in the paint so if your kid takes a crayon to the wall, it comes off pretty easily. the problem is, it is made for the specific purpose of not allowing things to bond to...

    YAY!! Love the snow! Skiing!!!
  19. Old Landlord says I must pay new tenants bills......

    My wife and I just bought our first house as well recently, In all my years of renting, i have found that it takes a certain type of person to be a landloard, that certain type is lazy, rude and completely un-reliable
  20. Move Your Money

    There are good and bad credit unions, just like there are good and bad sign shops/banks/restaurants etc. Just make sure you do your research before, just like any decision you make. If any americans have any ties to the military, if you served or a family member has served, you have the...
