By those words you demonstrate that you are a fool. A craftsman does not give undue reverence to its tools. A journeyman sign writer can can produce an acceptable sign with whatever might be at hand. From the finest enamels and quills to a finger dipped in mayonnaise [not miracle whip]. If...

If you use a proper pricing model you don't have to figure in arbitrary volume discounts. The pricing model should automatically accommodate them. In my shop if I were to do one 4x6 banner it would be ~$183.00, for 200 they would be ~$165.00 per copy. Best I can do. There is a certain...

It looks like a take-off of the ubiquitous Packard automobile service signs of bygone days. You might want to try for a bit more originality.

The smart money is on March 21.

As cold as it may sound, you have to haggle with the mouth breathing bottom feeders down to the funeral home. Of course they're counting on you being distraught and assuming that everyone else around you shares your distress and that they somehow want to do right by you because you can't...

A dry erase maker becomes a permanent marker on all of the laminate and other vinyl that wasn't specifically dry erase I've ever tried it on. Pop for a roll of dry erase laminate. I've been using the stuff Fellers sells, Wypet, with no complaints. There's one 4x8 piece laminated with Wypet...

Apply a stroke and then convert the stroke to outlines.

And you would be. The platen and associated pieces are stainless and other non-ferrous alloys. The problem with cutting magnetic sheeting on a plotter designed to cut vinyl isn't that the media wants to stick to various metal parts, it's the the machine was designed to cut vinyl. Moving and...

The available evidence would indicate that to be be the case. The black on the backside of the peeling image as well as just how it is peeling [in a rather un-vinyl like manner] would seem to confirm this.

You don't even have to stretch it around the sheets. Just print the el cheapo banner material to size and glue and staple the snot out of them. I do this sort of thing for seasonal signs for the local chamber of commerce down to the village.

Rhonda Hoffman? I'm not sure I've ever met her but the name certainly rings a bell. Perhaps it was dropped by Dr. Sarah Ralston, same field of endeavor, with whom I used to associate many many years ago when she was affiliated with CSU in Ft. Collins Co. Sarah and I always managed to agree...

Being studied and being effective are two entirely different things. Au contraire. Science continually disproves all of homeopathy. Once again, see Avogadro's number. It's been around since one Samuel Christian Hahnemann published 'The Organon' in 1810.

Right, but there are limits to change. If, for example, you were to hypothesize that fire was a liquid or some other equally bizarre proposition, this would represent a rather fundamental alteration of the laws of physics. Those pesky laws, which serve to define the external reality can be...

A good and entertaining rationalization but unfortunately not confirmed by any study done with anything resembling rigorous discipline. Worse, studies debunking the copper-arthritis connection are legion. Studies supporting the notion seem to be non-existent. The vast majority of cures from...

Sorry to disappoint you but there is not a shred of evidence that wearing a copper bracelet or cladding yourself cap-a-pie in copper has any effect on anything except the finances of copper merchants. What there is is a pant-load of anecdotes, all of them detailing how someone cast off their...

I've found that more often than not a font file that software has trouble finding is there but the type face has a slightly different name. For example one time Corel couldn't find 'Egyptian505 Med' when it was right there as 'Egyptian505 MD BT'. Your mileage may vary but if you know you have a...

That's for pattern fills not texture fills. Different animals, textures can not only be used as fills but they can be used as transparency masks as well. Far handier. As far As I know there's no way to add a texture fill. Other than merely diddling one of the existing textures.

With what version of Corel. You cannot do this with X3 or earlier. Perhaps more recent versions allow this but lurching along with X3 you can;t get there form here. There was a time when I'd have sacrificed a small furry creature in order to be able to save either a fill and/or a transparency...

Utter nonsense. Seeing patterns is one of the things it mean to be human. If you're looking for something you'll probably see it. It doesn't mean that any perceived pattern is the intentional product of design. The vast majority of patterns people perceive only exist in their minds.

Nice work, looks like lots of hideous compound curves, but what would possess a human being to want to ride around in something that looks like that? No fuel my ass. Unless the electricity upon which the thing operates is created on board, perhaps chemically, there's fuel involved. Merely...
