For kids I think handcuffs and shackles might be a boon. I do admit to making a stick horse with the head of a warthog. I printed the head and its mirror image reasonably life size, slapped them on both sides of some Coroplast, cut out the two-sided image on a band saw, and fastened it to a...

You don't have a Pantone book and Avery samples or you're blind? If the answer to either of those is 'yes', you need to find something else to do.

Throttle back the red on the ribbon. Maybe try a gold or brown tone.

Apparently you don't get it. The customer isn't always right, I'm always right. I always try to cooperate with the rest of the external reality on my terms or not at all.

It's sufficiently feminine and difficult to read that I read it as 'Stephanie's'. It was only when I read 'Stephen's' in the text of a post in this thread that I realized that It wasn't 'Stephanie's'. People seldom read signs, especially those using specimen type faces. They merely look at them...

Please explain using simple declarative sentences just how party A sending the wrong thing to Party B is party B's fault. Perhaps in your village there exists some statute of limitations on shipping the wrong product. The only policy of interest is my policy, not their's. I will take note of...

Show of hands: Just how many people here back up their ones and zeros and how many people have had to actually use that backup to save their butts because of some hardware or software meltdown? Using a backup because you mistakenly deleted something or another doesn't count as an instance of the...

Since the image is a bitmap, it will be rectangular. To add a contour around the actual image itself in Flexi select the bitmap then invoke Bitmap>Make Transparent. With the wand cursor select the color, I assume it's white but it doesn't have to be, surrounding your actual image. If...

The local apparatus in my village has cancelled their annual fireworks for much the same reason although the only thing that they might catch on fire here is desert. I can only wonder just what we would be celebrating had those that we are celebrating been as cautious as those doing [or...

There's very few people on the planet capable of writing commercial grade code. SAi doesn't appear to have any on their payroll. Perhaps they're hiding their light under a bushel but I calls 'em the way I sees 'em.

While Steph might be great, SAi gives every appearance of being a squad of inept amateurs.

Change the plotter from HPGL to GPGL. Different command languages. Flex uses HPGL and, if memory serves, Cutting Master uses GPGL. Or maybe the other way around.

Papyrus actually is a very nice type face, its problem is that everyone and their dog used it, and still use it, everywhere and for everything. Its major problem is that it's irrevocably passe from gross over use. Bleeding Cowboy has no reason to live. None. Not only is it disgusting, it's...

Twitter, Facebook, and all of the other instant crap gives every appearance of being an absurd waste and abuse of technology. Why anyone would rely these annoying gimmicks for anything is beyond my ken. Especially in lieu of a simple phone call, preferably from an actual telephone, or merely...

Ah yes, let him become Big Bubba's butt boy. That would be deliciously karmic.

Assuming that a Q42 is a Graphtec rebranded by Sign Warehouse and further assuming that the blade you're using is sharp... A pressure of 28 is too much for 651 but you allude to it cutting properly. If that's the case and you're not cutting into the backing then you have pretty much exactly...

Yet Another situation crying for a color chart. Print a Pantone color chart, you can create one right from Flexi, on whatever media you're using with whatever profile you're using. Use the 'No Color Correction' rendering intent. Take both your fine new color chart and a sample of what...

Assuming that's a print, Flexi seem to have a problem with going from wide to narrow with a gradient. I had much the same thing happen to me in the crossbar of an uppercase 'A'. Both legs of the 'A' were fine but the crossbar showed that sort of banding. There didn't seem to be anything I could...

They're most likely referring to a Graphtec machine. On most modern Graphtec machines the down force is a number between 0 and 50 [I think]. The number does not correspond to any actual measurement in grams or anything else. I know this because I had a lengthy conversation with one of Graphtec's...

No, not without giving the finger to the various laws of physics under which the external reality labors.
