Same when we had our Mimaki. It was the easiest setup we had. Just about anyone in the shop could run it. Not since switching to the HP though. As for being the "correct way". Don't care about that. I care about speed and making money.

Ha, doing repairs on a large military fire truck today. We opted to order the pre-colored stripes instead though. 1 yellow roll and one red.

Currently busy running circles.

What a can of worms you've opened again! I can run circles around any adobe user with my 10yr old Corel Graphics Suite. Guarantee you'll need both and possibly more. You're not just designing, you're taking every wanna be graphic artist's crappy artwork and making it usable in some capacity. You...

Only stuff we have with a backer like that is IJ35 which we have priced lower as an everyday yard sign type vinyl. We use IJ180 for most vehicle wraps and occasionally for outdoor signage.

I can't believe it! You're jumping right in and getting right back into your old ways! Sorry, couldn't resist. lol Welcome back, did they put you through a rehabilitation class?

I know a retired Army guy who says the best way to clean an alum boat for painting is vinegar so...

We've had similar problems with reg marks on window perf. What our print tech came up with worked yesterday. We've had a circle punch around for years. Cuts a 2" circle. He cut a batch of circles from our inexpensive white vinyl which has a bit of a matte finish to it. Watch the perf print and...

I use a macro in coreldraw to chrome letters

same basics

We have both and because we primarily design in CorelDRAW it only makes sense to me to use PP for little things like remove the background, a little touch up here and there etc. That way I can stay in Corel, edit bitmap, and jump right back on the fly. Just as illustrator & photoshop. They both...

Yes, corel has layers as most other programs. I rarely have a use for any more than one layer. Couple of things to note, and you may know already. As you select a shape you will see which layer it is on by the info at the bottom left of the workspace also note that you have a "Desktop" layer...

Yes, I've heard that using a custom profile that eliminates LtC & LtM works best if just printing red alone but... And our Print Tech, who also happens to be our IT guy, refuses to try customizing a profile.

Can't believe not one mention of what a pia the 360 is to switch media. This was something we noticed on day 1. Ours has given us minimal problems otherwise. If you're a smaller shop that changes media often, you'll certainly get a workout. Colors? Well forget about getting a rich red that you...

Print and "Punch cut"? Meaning you can pluck all the decals out after cutting? We don't have the printer/plotter you have but we've gotten into the habit of die cutting decals in a different way. We first do a normal cut, not punch, then use a seperate contour for the punch (.08-.125"). The...

Simple. Do the split in Corel, set them side by side, export as pdf to the Hot Folder. Print Tech sees it drop into Production Manager and prints without having to set anything other than the substrate and print profile.

Imports good with X7 but 4 problems I see that I'd have to fix. 1. Text not centered - easy fix 2. Text line spacing set to use points - good thing I made a macro to correct that. 3. The "R" in MANCHESTER logo - easy fix 4. Sure wish adobe users would quit using PANTONE Process Black C as a...

Are you talking about this? With nothing selected grab the Dimension Tool go to the Object Properties Docker and set your properties here. A pop-up should appear asking if you want that as default, leave dimension checked and hit ok. Now go Object\Save settings as default

On a blank doc select the text tool, open the Text Properties Docker (Ctrl+t) , set your spacing to 0% and hit enter. You should get a popup asking if you want that to be set as default. Ensure all are checked then hit ok. Then go to Object/Save Setting as Default.
