Feel your pain. By the way, as a poet, not bad....but don't quit your day job just yet.

Welcome from Kelso/Longview Are working with Brad?

The machine is a D-series S75. Love the darn thing. Today for some reason, it won't "see" the first registration mark. (the job is a Print/Cut job) Hunts around for it and quits. Jeff and I have checked everything we know to do. Any comments very welcome!

Thank you, Tammie!

Looks like Arial Black but it's not.

Thanks JHill that will do it. I can make it work.

Any one with an idea? Even close will work.

Thanks a ton!

Guy's changing the name, but is in love with the font. Any ideas?

El Mustachio, I agree with your assessment of Composer's 4.0 abilities to provide decent vector from raster images. We completely do an end-run around Composer and take them directly into Corel X3. Using one of the 3 trace methods. They are very good in comparison. Use Composer for most other...

I may be way out of line here, but I would not even try to find that font. Show the client something better. Both in the sign's layout and in the font. That thing is so dated looking. And the over-sized T, what's that? I find that sign to be so far from an inspired, sharp look it's not even...

Wraps are primarily commercial in nature. (some exceptions of course) Wraps are not dead. A car that has paint that changes color does not sell products, as wraps do. There is no advertising on that vehicle, although it's kind of cool.
