  1. exporting & importing problem from Flexisign-Pro

    This is exactly right. There's a lot of gratuitous masking going on with Flexi and eps files. Flexi used to do the same thing with pdf files but that seems to have changed with version 8.x. Any time you import any sort of foreign file into Flexi you need to open the Design Editor dialog [a...
  2. Corner protectors for Coroplast?

    Why? It's coroplast, one step above garbage.
  3. Advert Review !!!

    Better but, like Jill says, lose the 2 day turnaround. If you want address this, make it sufficiently nebulous that you can't be pinned down. Something like 'Instant Service' or some similar bit of meaningless nonsense. Then get rid of what I presume are rolls of vinyl. You might know what...
  4. important legal questions... (with a degree of urgency)

    Find out if your state is an 'at will' state. If it is then just fire the employee. No explanation is required or even wise. If you give no explanation, then you don't have to justify your actions in the guilt-fest that's sure to result if you do. An event that can easily escalate into all...
  5. how much should i charge

    In this shop 7 18x24's one side out of intermediate vinyl would be $198 plus 200% of whatever the substrate costs.
  6. Opinions and critiques of design invited

    Gag. all the more reason to use something else. Would you want to ingest anything prepared in a place named after something that looks like a hippopotamus's asshole?
  7. Opinions and critiques of design invited

    Dubious type face selection for all of them. The lumpy ones on top will never do and the face used on the bottom two is discordant, It looks as if the upper case is from a different face than the lower. As well as being too light with way too much spacing. And what is that thing over there on...
  8. Printing on clear vinyl

    The only way you can print on a non-white media is to be able to print with white ink. Not only be able to print with white ink, but be able to lay it down in sufficient quantity that it's opaque. Printing on non-white media without white ink makes the media the white point and nothing on the...
  9. File is not printing the same color as yesterday!!!

    Interesting since, if memory serves, they all pretty much use the same RIP engine. At least they used to do so. If that's the case then the only difference between the poseur Flexi and those real raster interface processors is the package that surrounds the engine. But then my memory isn't what...
  10. Advise ME. MagneticSigns stick better/which brand/squareOR rounded Corners?

    Round corners are so the thing won't start to lift in the wind. When you have a square corner there necessarily exists a point near that corner where the area of the material is insufficient to hold its mass. It will start to lift at this point and, at speed, peel away and fall off. As far...
  11. Anyone make Spindles for staircase?

    Any decent stair company should be able to match whatever you have.
  12. Advert Review !!!

    Neither. The curved panels are more interesting than straight but not so many of them. Make your name and contact info larger and all in one place. List all of the stuff you do. Most people looking for something will first call the ad that specifically lists what they want. Keep the...
  13. 13MM Sign Board??

    You might ask if there is some particular reason that 13mm is required, is it some number they pulled out of the air, or is it a measurement from some other flavor of substrate? For that application even 10mm econolite/alumalite is overkill. 6mm would work just fine.
  14. Fellers Ordering

    If you rely on the phone squad at Fellers for advice on anything you're compounding foolishness. Fellers is as good a place as any to call and order if you know what you want. If you don't, seek advice elsewhere, these people know nothing. The only thing they reliably know is where they have...
  15. printing on colored material

    Assuming you aren't printing white... Other than black, the problem with printing on colored media is that the media is your white point. When white is necessary to hitting a particular color, which is almost always, the media provides the white. This being the case, everything you print...
  16. Roland vs. Mutoh

    If you want to print get a printer. If you want to cut, get a cutter. A machine that does both should automatically be suspect as doing one or the other, or both, poorly. A Shopsmith comes to mind as the epitome of this sort of machine. At one time I thought that this was the machine of my...
  17. Align and Distribute question

    Unfortunately there is no 'Spacing' function in Corel. If you want to butt two objects together bring up the Transformation dialog. Select on of the objects. On the position tab of the Transformation dialog [the leftmost tab] uncheck 'Relative' and check the box that represents the side to...
  18. Roland vs. Mutoh

    I've had couple of Mutohs and would buy another. But that really doesn't mean anything in a comparison. The only valid opinion for comparison are those opinions from people who have run both printers. Someone telling you how great their Mutoh or their Roland might be and has never dealt with...
  19. Corel x3 sending wrong info to cutter

    What are you using as a bridge program to drive the cutter? How is it configured?
  20. Corel x3 sending wrong info to cutter

    What, exactly, is your setup? Both hardware and software. It sounds very much like whatever you're using as bridge software is not operating correctly or is improperly configured. On the other hand I have seen Corel do some curious things with text of specific sizes but this has always had...
