    Jillbeans... I like what Puxatawny Phil DID this year. I thing that ole groundhog was pretty accurate. Us Hoosiers are not complaining. U close to OHIO?
  2. In Memory of...

    A quality designed swash is never cheesy, IMHO. If it subtly compliments the manufacturer...so much the better. That is design.
  3. Sows ear into a silk purse with lipstick on it!

    What do you call a call a customer whose logo is not professionally archived in EPS AI or even CDR...usually I call them a pain in the ass with an amateur designer...but that usually means they designed it themselves in MS PUBLISHER...puke.
  4. Biggest Mistake...

    Started out after college selling printing. Learned early the value of proofing [walk away] proof again and getting people to sign off. - As far as above posts with paint / hardener / clear coat... - Either I do IT ALL or they sign off that they approve my paint composition - - and...
  5. Biggest Mistake...

    Yeah SHARP KNIVES...deadlines...hurry...no finger guard on the ruler. It's called ER - stitches and shorter fingers. We cannot be TOOOO careful when it comes to our hands. :Oops:
  6. Cutting Master cutting twice?

    Yeah, dunno for CUTTING MASTER. Thought there would be some commonality in the software with Corel, Illustrator, Flexi...where paths are displayed in wireframe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IMfSCDq2KUY Graphtec Cutting Master - orientation. Certain that there is an instruction in your...

  8. Any Ideas

    Here is a great learning tool I have used: http://www.itcfonts.com/fonts When I go here I learn about the great type foundries, European designers and classic type families. A friendly bet - who can find your font first? ...but you have to try looking yourself, too. This is a...
  9. Cutting Master cutting twice?

    Happens sometimes with EPS or AI imports in various software. I set contour preview to wireframe, click on contour and DELETE. If the contour is still there you had multiple paths sitting on top of each other. The software sees all and cuts twice. Let me know it this is a fix.
  10. Any suppliers sell cast vinyl by the foot?

    http://www.earlmich.com/ Avery 900 and 3M Scotchcal 7125 by-the-yard. Seriously doubt customer will discriminate between subtle hue shift between an FDC and Avery. http://www.fellers.com/ Permacast, Avery, Oracal and 3M by-the-yard. HTH. :wink:

  15. Name that font

    Now letters are ON words not in them? There is an E in TOMATOES if a person cropped off the S of a bitmap of TOMATOES. Then there would be an E in TOMATOE as in the cropped bitmap of the correctly spelled TOMATOES which was the origin of the post. Thanks for the spell check.
  16. Can I change my 6 color mutoh to 4 color

    Yes. Your RIP software has settings like grayscale, CYMK and CYMKLmLc. Caution: If you let your Lm or Lc carts run dry etc. the pump may not be able to load ALL the dampers as 3 colors run off one side of the capping station. PhotoPrint came with my Falcon Outdoor. Works great as CYMK...

  19. How much to charge....

    DON'T. The customer is buying YOUR personal service and expertise, a friend and relationship. If they want to buy online, shake their hand and wish them the best. I don't sell products. I sell myself. I don't sell to everyone. Nobody sells every prospect. The trick is to dismiss suspects...
