We use.080 alum down here on Florida's emerald coast. Polymetal too. Could also use "hood laminate" for better protection against sun.

Hmmm, I've always thought banners without a hem look cheap and unprofessional. Walmart doesn't hem hence cheap. We have had on occasion had specific instructions to not hem but pretty rare.

Don't confuse a "true rectangle" with a rectangle that has been converted to Curves. If you're using any clipart or template it's likely that all shapes are converted to curves. Select your shape and look in the lower left corner of the workspace and it'll tell you whether it's a "Curve" or...

Wouldn't mind seeing a sample of what you're seeing. I don't see anything awkward.

Been using banner hem tape for years.

No need for Flexi other than for RIP. Design and export from corel to a "Hot Folder" directly linked to Flexi Production Manager. Export as pdf, eps or tiff. We have 2 designer workstations and a separate workstation for our print tech. He watches what drops into Production Manager and gangs...

Not for designing though. Most schools teach Adobe and students don't have a clue with anything else and aren't willing to learn any other.

Yeah, the latest greatest "killustrator" got rid of that limitation. Corel is the better answer anyway. lol

The whole country feels you! Google it! From what i get the incentive to not work is stronger and too many are scared to death of Covid. We see many "Now Hiring" signs all over the place. Restaurants are having to reduce their hours because they don't have enough staff. We've been advertising...

Too late. Your secret is out on facebook now. lol

Exactly, don't use the Fillet tool as it will convert the square/rectangle to curves and won't allow to easily change later. Use these instead

Using Macro Editor Looking at codes from existing macros. Copy/paste codes, sometimes recording macros helps too. Once you get a little understanding how they work you can create your own. Asking a lot of questions here. Google etc., Macro Editor help menu, the editor also drop hints as to what...

Are we to assume you're looking for the font?

Client supplies a psd file via dropbox. File is 300 inches at 300 dpi. HUGE! First thing I do is "downsample" it. Oh yeah, did I mention the file was just text! And yes, the larger the file the longer it takes to RIP. As far as proofs go I often use 8bit png around 800px wide x whatever it...

300dpi is overkill. We usually don't send prints higher than 150dpi. Select the bitmap then choose Bitmap/Resample from the top menu. Another thing we do when exporting for print, if exporting as tiff, is set the compression type to LZW Compression. This will cut the file save down tremendously...

I didn't exactly come from the sign industry but been doing it for nearly 17 years now. I never really caught on to numerical measurements alone. To me a label of 12 x 18 is the same as 18 x 12. I will always insist on the use of "w" and "h" no matter what numbers are used. Although "portrait"...

We use that one too. On simple rounds/ovals nothing different. We try to stick to rounded corners on squares/rectangles. On complex shapes we'll first do a regular "Non-half cut" then have an offset plot line for the half cut. We then pull that little bit off. Decals come out clean but the...

There is a series of a macros that I use often that will perform this but still only works for 1 shape at a time. Select shape A or group A that you want to move Shift select the shape you wish to align to and either hit left/right/top/bottom macro icon Default is always either top corner or...

I'll be traveling to North Myrtle Beach area for a wedding next month. Wouldn't mind stopping in and visiting with some fellow "sign folk"
