I believe it is a bug in Corel 12, because I have heard 4 or 5 other people complain of this problem. I have a few fonts that came with 12 that do the same thing, so that rules out the "creatively acquired" theory. I have checked the Corel website a couple of times to see if they've come up with...

Shelley Volante is included with Corel 12 so it is probably in 11 as well.

It looks like you welded it instead of combining. If Shovel's instructions worked for you before, just start over and turn the black to gray before you combine.

I didn't mean that those things couldn't be done in Corel. Just that you have to do it manually, where a production manager does it with a couple of clicks. No way is it as easy to duplicate and align 20 copies of a hunting club decal in corel when you can pull up one copy in production manager...

I think Hammered is asking about the old PC-60 and PC-600. I've never worked with either one, but I did read up on them back when I was interested in buying one. From what I have read, the PC-60 is dead slow and goes through ribbons quickly. It rolls all the ribbons the same amount even if it's...

Yeah, I have Co-Cut on another computer. It's easy to use and works great, too. The original poster already has Flexi, though. No need to buy something else when he already has a good program with a fine production manager. Copying and pasting isn't that much trouble.

Cutting directly from Corel or Illustrator is way over-rated. You have to send your jobs through a printer port and you give up all the tools available in the production manager. Weed borders, rotating to make best use of the vinyl, multiple cuts of the same graphic, color pauses, panelling for...

If you are scanning graphics, then it goes without saying they are bitmaps. Bitmaps won't cut on a plotter... it can't "see" the pixels that bitmaps are made up of. It can only see lines and curves...which are what we call vector objects. The only way to cut a bitmap is to trace it in a tracing...

I believe Laura wants clipart for stick people. Lots of people are putting "stick family" decals on the back of their suv's and minivans. Should be simple enough to just draw your own. Laura, VE Lxi is the same as Flexisign. It probably came from Signwarehouse. Check out givemehelp.com. They...

If you let your nephew look through your fonts to pick out the style he wants for his name on his baseball helmet...that's the one he'll pick.

It came with Corel 8. Have you ever tried to weed it? It's a pain in the butt.

I took a lot of art classes in school. I was always good at hand lettering posters and banners whenever someone needed one. I lettered a few race cars by hand. People would tell me I needed to charge money for it, but I never did. It wasn't until I discovered computers that I became interested...

On the left side of your screen there is a vertical bar with several tools in it. Hover your mouse over each tool and a little box will appear and tell you what it is. You are looking for point selector tool. On my version it is second from bottom. If you click and hold on it, and drag to the...

http://www.signwarehouse.com/shop/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=BK-VIN-GR-HOWTO&Category_Code=BOOK&Product_Count=0 Most any of the major sign supply companies offer all sorts of books on sign-related topics. The web sites are usually aimed at selling equipment & supplies, but if you...

If you have both programs on the same computer, you can simply open it in Corel, copy it, and then paste into LXI. It works fine for me.

If you find yourself in a situation where you absolutely cannot see through to line up the two colors, just trim the mask and backing of the top color very close to the graphic in three or four spots. This will allow you to see the edges of the bottom color to align them. Then just center hinge...

I don't think many people bother with registration marks for stacking two colors of vinyl. Just lay your bottom color and peel mask. Then place your top color over it and you should be able to see through the mask and backing paper well enough to position it like you want. That's how I do it...

I would sub this job out and do some more research into what direction you want to go. The Avery transfer thing is not the right direction if you want to do quality work. Either invest in a dye sub setup, invest in a screen printing setup, or sub all your work out. The only way you're going to...

Welcome, Nate. Look on the websites of any major sign supply company. Most have a big selection of books on everything...t-shirt printing, vinyl signs, digital printing, airbrushing, etc. Beacon Graphics, JSI Sign Supply, Signwarehouse to name a few. I saw earlier we have a new merchant...
