wow!! getting some good use out of that edge I see... I was pretty convinced the mantle was real... so I believed the whole thing & just enjoyed the Winchester sign. Nice old cast iron looking insert print.

Sorry to hear about the line. I have a Mimaki, & always worried about that because the edge does that... but, like with most inkjet printers, every ink I ever swapped was in the middle of a job & that has never happened to me, nor have I heard of it (just don't tell Colin :wink: ) Here was...

spend the $5K for an air duster & be done with it. Whats a few brain cells worth anyway?

you can buy a USB port to put in the W98 machine.

if you have a need to cut perf... your method sounds easy enough. You are printing registration marks on white & then applying those right over the hard to see ones that were printed along with your graphics right? I don't see there being much better ways to come up with

I just hope you guys don't run out of access to parts & inks. I guess support will be drying up for sure... at least lots of parts are probably interchangable.

you're welcome

It is a pretty rough original. At first I thought it had a stencil-like break in the letters & I checked my font Freeform. It was similar, but then I checked Cooper Black. I dont have a Cooper that is less bold, but maybe that would be closer. It looks familiar, but I give up. At least...

This is the logo i designed & verizon approved for my client. (The "authorized agent" text was required in their case & was part of the .pdf file provided.) The original Verizon reseller logo had square corners & when my client said this version was approved, I accepted that... though I have...

if you are going to seam that graphics, you could work on sections slightly larger then your seamed panels... instead of working on the entire vehicle graphic in one file. Also, I will often work smaller scale (but conscious of the need to remember, or write down the steps I have taken) until I...

There is more then one authorized version. My authorized Verizon rep forwarded me their .pdf file showing all the acceptable choices when I did some signs for him. In fact I had to design a logo that incorporated their logo together with his. I Don't have the .pdf file anymore, but if you can...

look for how to "reset orgin" when you are ready to cut after loading vinyl, slew enough vinyl back behind the cutting area to leave just enough to not snag when it is sent back out again. You will learn how much this is, & it may be 3-4", so you may have to deal with that. Once you have that...

Thanks Erin! I drew it in response to the similar thread last year. (did you check that link? ...it has some good discussion on this with lots of other good ideas you shouldn't miss)

welcome aboard Mafarka! :Welcome:

no idea here either... but it is a saturday. Have you tried opening in photoshop, converting to greyscale, bumping the contrast to get true black & white inverting to black text on white background, then attempting to un-distort it back to straight & true letter forms? You may need to...

yeah, I remeber how casmate used to crash almost everyday. My PC's were not that sketchy... but they weren't as convenient as XP either. I've been running between 2 & 5 machines everyday for the last 10 years, & fortunantly, I've never been hit by any virus. I just received my $400 corporate...

yep...I started out with macdraw & illustrator 88 too. I was just an employee & don't recall the model numbers, but when I got my first mac, I think it was an SE. I got a 20" G5 Imac from Costco a while back for $1500 with a 3 year Apple Care support plan, but I set it up next to one of my...

I save as .tif files & for some reason have better results saving in RGB format even though I'm printing on a CMYK printer (haven't figured that one out yet) also, it probably goes without saying, but high enough resolution for the size you will be printing is also important. I go with a...
