OK, I see now that you mentioned both printing AND cut vinyl. I still think if you know how to vectorize the chisel effect, it's a valuable tool... but not worth the time and trouble most of the time. For printing, the bevel effects in eye candy plug-ins, or layer styles in photoshop can give...

If I was one of the local shops, based on being busy a I can be serving my own clients, I'd want the same $200 from you for that order, as I would want from anyone else. People suggesting a wholesale supplier are on the right track. You should be able to find prices between 50% and 25% of that...

I agree with Jay on printing your own charts. You also probably ought to get some after-the-sale asistance from the vendor who sold you the printer. It is a science to get proper consistent color. We have enough to learn in this industry, so getting good results from tens of thousands of...

how do you do it? You DRAW it! It's hard to explain in words only, but study any prismatic font, and you will see that establishing a center line is half the battle. Then at each termination of a line, the centerline splits to each corner. At each intersection or bend, centerlines run to the...

Thanks Rex, those are some good options. I have Enviro and tekton, so I'll show him those for sure.

he's not IN business... remember? He's in hobbyland. Besides, I've had rolls of vinyl well over 5 years with no sign of shelf life. I've encountered 3 rolls with adhesion problems over the last 12 years & all of them were new, defective rolls. My 2 mil Arlon vinyl has always lasted real well!

Tiki, I ran a search for Architext at myfonts.com & came up with a much nicer font, but it is an all caps font. Can you give me a link to the one you found? I also found another nice draftsman looking font I could have used last week...

Tiki, thank you for that. I think that has potential to satisfy the client, improve the layout at least a little, and allow me some other production methods besides digital printing. Si, agreed... it is that ugly.. but, this client brought me into a $20,000.00 job five years ago! :thumb...

It came from an autocad program. They sent me the font but I can't use that file format. It's called archisel.stx

This one's pretty bad in my book, but has anyone seen anything like it?

Stevo922, off topic for a minute, but i noticed you are in Roselle. I grew up in Hoffman Estates, starting in 1959 the year I was born & the year my parents bought the hous where my mom still lives. My dad took the train from Roselle to work in Chicago. Hitch hiking to take the train to Rock...

If you do a search, you will most likely find several similar discussions, all resulting in a vast majority of contributors to the discussion being satisfied with NEVER printing on magnetic sheeting. We all print on vinyl & apply that to magnetic material. I don't think too many people worry too...

yep.. and opening current level .ai files... and embedding image files...

welcome from another small island!

if you can't get the advice you want... you can always ask someone else... like a supplier who makes more money giving you the answer you want... what a great idea!! ...hope you don't get a big white on clear order.

Mimaki has enjoyed a superior reputation by many. Personally, I think all the printers will do a decent job, so I'd suggest considering the level of support after the sale to be a huge determining factor in your decision. I'm completely satisfied with my Mimaki, but even more satisfied with...

this quote looks like everyone who participates gets $50, untill you've spent $1500, not like there are prizes for the fastest. (although that is what one would expect from a contest, I don't really think that's what you wrote) Splitting hairs has to do with one guy videoing himself weeding...

so, you are saying as long as 5 people submit eligible videos, then everyone of them, up to 30 participants, will receive $50 just for entering? So, splitting hairs on the video rules is not important because whoever judges, and by what criteria they judge (including weeding or not) ...this...

ummmm... let's see... don't fill 22 shells with firecracker powder and torch in moms wreckroom don't jump of 40' rope swings at scout jamboree don't ride with friends driving on qualudes don't freeze up in the impact zone in high surf advisory conditions & let the lip drive your ribs...

bummer... mine only goes to 18.9583 :help:
