I'm with OP . . . I can cut direct from Corel without any problems. I've tried both Sign Tools and CoCut demo programs and just can't justify the additional cost. If you learn Corel Draw, there's nothing you can't do that those two programs add.

Nice to meet you Bobby, welcome.

Then there's me, I worked for a Sign-A-Rama and always felt under-utilized . . . the owner eventually ran the business into the ground, not because it's a bad franchise (it's not) but because he was such an a-hole. Someone gave me a fistfull of money on sheer trust from my prior dealings with...

I have an antiquated copy of Corel Gallery Magic 1,000,000 which I have backed up and run from backup CD's. As has been talked about before, the fonts in that collection are worth any price you can find it for nowadays. I also use Broderbund's Clickart 400,000 which contains a lot of images...

Bonjour!

Definately Corel! It' just as you explain Fred and it's a common problem as I have experienced this same problem with many collections. The problem is derived from converting elements to objects. It's the same problem we've been discussing in other threads. It is this very reason that I will be...

Not anymore. There are still new copies of clickart 1,000,000 400,000 and 250,000 available on eBay and other sources. For the most part, you will find t clipart collection incorporated into Broderbund's "Clickart" collection and devoid of any fonts. Ebay

Every time I see this sign, it reminds me of a place I know in Portland Maine . . . I'll take a pic some day.

Nice unique design!

Don't quote me out of context OP . . . ":biggrin: Pros . . . use that term loosely :biggrin: There are a lot of pros on here, but most of us are like yourself, self taught and still learning" I did indeed say there are a lot of pros on here . . . or did those old fart eyes of yours miss...

It is . . . You can download it here. It is shareware and it's worth the Thirty-five bucks!

I would agree with Fred and I know Rick has opinions on this too. If you submerge the client in a quagmire of fonts and clipart, one of two things can happen: 1. The client becomes utterly confused and needs to have a hand-holding session to guide them to a solution that is most appropriate...

Welcome! Wanna trade a week in Maine for a week in Hawaii??? PLEASE!

Thanks Fred, that explains (and confuses) a lot. I do understand it a lot more now. Thanks.

I knew I kept my legacy machines for a reason, Hah

Welcome! You are right in assuming that you won't be able to use your plotter with a stand alone printer. The SW Panther does not have an OPOS (Optical Positioning) system to detect where the registration marks are on the print. A good option would have been the new Summa D60. About $1000...

:biggrin: Pros . . . use that term loosely :biggrin: There are a lot of pros on here, but most of us are like yourself, self taught and still learning! I hope I never stop learning. Welcome to the ball and have a lot of fun while you're here!

Good question, I'd like to know that one myself, including what the difference is between a legal copy and an illegal copy of a font . . . and just exactly how thin is the line that some "foundaries" are walking ? ! ? ! ?

My guess is Rodney Dangerfield's widow would want a piece of the action on this one . . . but it's still funny!

Yup That's correct, and yes it's the going rate. There are several sites with fonts for sign makers that sell fonts individually. Look in the links section of this forum and you'll find most listed there.
