You are right about that being an opinion. But in my opinion you are wrong about it not being intuitive. It is very intuitive. You see the fact that you can develop custom color profiles as pitfall, I see not having the ability to develop custom color profiles as a pitfall. What is the...

Who cares what they know or not. That is what I am saying, If you can make those changes easily on your end, what is the problem??? That is why I keep comparing it to converting text to curves. That isn't a software thing, it's a user thing. If I have to print or plot their file, I have to...

Stacy, or anyone else that has this problem: I want you to try this the next time you get a Corel file, or really any file that is imported and the colors appear muted, or wrong. If I remember right, you go to "file" "color mode" than you can select between "rgb" and "cmyk" In Illustrator. I'm...

That is your opinion. I disagree. I didn't say that, I said you can customize your color profiles easily. That is a good thing. To have options and to easily be able to use them and switch between them. I don't see that as good thing. I like to have the ability to change those setting. The...

Ah yes... designing in scale, something I don't miss from my illustrator days.:Big Laugh

I didn't suggest that. You are missing the point. The point I am trying to make is that software doesn't mater, If you as the middleman take your corel draw or illy out of the equation, and directly print their exported file, you will still have color issues. The software you chose to use...

The problem you are talking about has nothing to do with software. You run into those same issues with illustrator. Those customers you are speaking of need to understand that the color they see on their screen will never be guaranteed to look identical to what you print. It doesn't matter if...

Well I don't know what process you are taking but we have absolutely no problems with colors using both Corel and Versaworks. Here again the answers lie in the Color Management tools.

But on the flip side you could say this... If Illy is so great than it should be able to open Corel files flawlessly. You see what I'm saying??? In other words, it's not a question of which softwares are to blame, It's just a fact that they are two different systems and they open and export...

It is most definitely user error. Corel has a very nice Color Management Tool where you can adjust your color profiles and optimize your setting for print output or web and etc. The problem is some people don't take the time to set this up properly. I think the only thing Corel could do...

Yeah I know. I love the colors I can get in Corel. I'm very comfortable with Corel's Color Management system. Note to everyone: Be careful about making claims like: "This program can do this, but that program can't do that" Or "this program is better at doing this, or that program is worst...

Welcome from Central Illinois, and Signs101!

I think it's kind of funny. Not that I have anything against Flexi.

Oh yeah I love that polygon tool. You can do soo many awesome things with it.

I want to give you some advice that was given to me somewhere down the road. I'm going to put it in my own words, and I apologize in advance if it is lengthy, but I think it's important. I'm hoping some of it will register, but if not, maybe someone else will learn from what has happened on...

I would suggest using Alupanel, Alumalite or Lusterboard over MDO or Plywood. Then scuff the aluminum if you're going to paint. Or just apply the vinyl right on the aluminum surface. If you go with Lusterboard, treat the edges the same way you would if you went with MDO or Plywood.

That's not half bad. It's a lot better than the majority of the race cars I've seen out there. Did you do that? If so, you are already on the right track. We just need you to start charging accordingly :thumb::thumb:

Our shop used to do lots of race cars and yes even a few go karts. The race car jobs where like any other job here, and we made a profit off of doing them. Then somewhere down the line, race car drivers in our area started buying their own equipment. NOW, we don't do race cars hardly at all...

I'm confused??? First you say you want to do this to make money, then you say that is not what you are trying to do. So which is it? I'm with Gino on this one. If you want to do graphics for just the fun of it, that is great. Do it for yourself. But when you cross that line and start...
