Thanks for all your help folks! It's in the Doctor's hands at the moment, and I think for me it's time I stop long enough for dinner. Ten O'clock isn't too late for dinner, is it?!!

Doctor, I got your out of office message reply. It made me wonder what I'm still doing here at the shop! I'll wait for an email. My phone numbers are in the email. Call on the cell with questions any time. Thanks!

WildWest brings up a good point. The client is trying to cram ten pounds in a five pound, when in reality simple would be better.

Yacht artwork is on it's way to you Doctor!

-Thanks for the posts. I placed quotation marks around the word Artwork because that's what the client called it. I don't think it qualifies as artwork. Plus, they want to pack all that into a 4" square on a shirt, single color. I'm not an embroidery expert, but I think that there won't be a...

-I have a client who has asked me to convert a bitmap to vector which he intends to use an for embroidered Golf Shirt. I am perplexed about what to charge him. I won't be getting any additional business after the conversion. What would you charge? I attached the "artwork" I'll have to trace.

-How can I contact you?

... but to answer the question about films, we use Avery, 3M, and MacTac. We use cast films instead of calendared films because we supply the automotive industry and need 7-year durability. We buy calendared films from FDC and use them for short term/temp signage.

-Yes, I agree. Avoid Avery Vinyl. Only use it when you want something durable. Oh, we all know about the shrinkage problems they had a few years ago, and if you try you could still get some of the outdated material.

Gerber Troubles -My Gerber has been running great for years. The software upgrades have been a small percentage, of a percent, of what I've made using them. I wish others had the same experience. Hey Signguy, what's with the same "Gerber is a PITA!" reply every time? Do you hate all those...

Reinventing the Wheel - I finally read this poll. Why not call the guy who makes them for 3M and buy some of his generic gold ones for a third less? We do. Even better, he can make them in different colors.-

Missed Something how do I up the dpi on a photo, send by a customer? - I guess I missed the part where he wanted to enhance the file. I thought he wanted to print it larger than the customer supplied final artwork at 8.5" x 11".-

Maybe too simple.... -We usually "resample" "bitmap" to the correct size in CorelDraw. -

I have had this problem, too. The answer? Don't open the file in Composer, import the file into Composer. Skip the "other application" business. Tom

We have an opportunity to buy an Odyssey including Composer and USB key with +/- 50 Hours on it. I tried it out the other day and found it won't track, even on very short cuts. I've heard they track very well. My FasTrack 650 has been doing a flawless job for years (the salesman set it up). Any...

Daily Composer User No, really, how much for the software?

We have been using a 650 for a number of years and have had no problems and fantastic performance. I'd like to get another one!

Go Bryce! You tell those snobs were to go! We all had to start somewhere. Everyone was an untrained dufus at one time in their life. Your rich background may make you a great signmaker. I think if you required credentials before all existing signmakers could make another sign, there would be a...

"Ok ... I'm thinking about buying CoCut or Sign Tools 3... my question is will I be able to easily add outlines and inlines and such when I add this? because basically I can't find anywhere in Corel Draw you can even add an outline to text." Did anyone mention that text needs to be converted...
