I do all wrap designs with Coreldraw and at full scale. Rarely are any of the files over 300MB. SInce I am the soul designer in a very busy sign shop the boss had asked one of our production members to design a "half wrap". He has extensive experience but only in illustrator. Doesn't matter to...

Often times i see posts with 50 views but no replies. I open the post and it's gibberish. Either too vague or using words no one understands. I'm not speaking of any language barrier either. "How do I make this?" -no example given, nothing! "Need help with this" -file won't open, no file...

Tried CorelDRAW envelope but still not as exact as I'd expect. Tried quick trace too. Still not accurate enough. Possibly a 3D program? Maybe a plug-in or macro? Ought to be a way to create a grid of circles then fit them to a globe or sphere shape. Although this one seems to only follow...

I say, is it O' Beer thirty yet?

New client contacts us via email. "Need a sign" 4ft wiide x 6ft tall. File attached" 1 file is a pdf and 1 is a psd Sales team forwards to request to the designers (2 of us) for file quality check. I first check the pdf as it's sure to be vector. NOT! Low res jpg saved as pdf WHY!!!! I try...

We have an old version of SignLab running on a Win98 pc. That was the way the company did things long ago before I came along and showed them the error of their ways.. That pc has been giving us many hardware issues. SignLab is a very expensive program, too expensive to buy again plus a new pc...

As I look at the image, I see that the center of the image is centered in the total absolute space. Thinking in terms of the "Rule of 5ths," so to speak, and not knowing the height dimensions of the pdf image, I'm not able to say exactly to the inch as to how to situate it. When I take...

Flexi Print Manager color issues

Pantone 306 2X CVC. What is "2X"?

We've been having some strange issues with our HP360. We're using Flexi Production Manager RIP.. Co-worker exported a batch of files as pdf (raster and vector elements). Prints are good but one of the prints gets ruined during installation. Export the 1 re-print as a pdf same as before and now...

This is driving me nuts. I continue to get files in pdf format which typically is the best option but you have to know the proper way to set them up. ALL FONTS MUST BE CONVERTED! NO TRANSPARENCIES! All you have to do is eyedropper the color produced by the transparency and create a solid...

Client gives the following guidelines for their color RGB: 69 68 70 PMS: 172-15U / 172-15c CMYK: 67 61 57 43 I say trust the cmyk no matter what the pantone is. My software only has Pantone P 172-15 C or U which converts slightly different than theirs CMYK: 60 54 48 52 Problem is client has...

I work in a very fast paced sign shop. 95% of our printing/production is done in house. Currently we have a 4ft x 8 ft dry erase calendar to aide in tracking workorders. The sales staff will jot down when a proof should be expected (promised or tentative, customer/business name, material, etc...

Seems every translator online shows something different. Must use only 5 lines.

Need a source for .080 reflective brown alum (3" x 36")

Anyone know the equivalent font to SignLab's Conkerr.vef?

We have always used a particular 3rd party print service to do business cards but now we've began using a different one and they have different guidelines for the set up. All we did for the previous service was an 1/8" bleed and save as pdf. The new service not only requires the bleed but also...

Missing font in pdf file. "arcanzas". I need to edit the text otherwise I wouldn't need it as editable text. I can't seem to find any such font.
