  1. Training in Illustrator

    Thanks for all the tips. But its more than just learning the whole program. When I learned FlexiSign from Vinyl Master Pro, I had a person with me on the computer. I said ok, here's what I do in Vinyl Master Pro to get "X" result, how do I get the same result in Flexi? Then he would show me...
  2. Training in Illustrator

    Hello all, Can anyone direct me to where I can get training in Illustrator? I have cs4. Heres the kicker. I have tried Lynda.com etc, but it doesn't really work for me. I'd like to have training with someone using gotomeeting.com or something similar, that way I can see what I am doing and vice...
  3. Which media do I need?

    I dont have any pics to share. I just see them around town. No one has complained (that I know of). I did think about the customer not applying them correctly because I dont get to see all the customers but I cant tell for sure. The oracal I use is calendered 3165RA.
  4. Which media do I need?

    Hey guys and gals, I'm having trouble finding the perfect printable media for window decals. I have used oracal and 3M IJ80C-10. Nothing is working! It's embarrassing when I see decals I made starting to peel weeks or months after they purchased them. It seems like the basic vinyl sticks so...

    Did you ever have any trouble with it shrinking or bubbling? This will be primarily be for indoor use. May I ask which laminate you recommend out of the 2 I have? Thank you.
  7. Printing on reflective vinyl

    Hello all, I have a quick question for everyone. I have a roll of 3m white reflective vinyl. I heard you could print directly on it with ecosol inks. I was then going to run it through my laminator with Oraguard 210 or 3m 8518 laminate. Can I do this and make a superior product? Thanks!
  8. Whats the magic formula?

    Hello all, Would anyone please like to share a formula on how you price you stuff. I find my pricing is so inconsistent. I mean what a good rule of thumb you use? A certain percentage over cost? A hourly fee? Neither? Please help! Thank you.:frustrated:
  9. media issue

    What is removable adhesive and permenant adhesive? I guess I never heard of these terms before.
  10. media issue

    Thank you for the replies and opinions. I told my vinyl rep that I wanted to switch to 3M from Oracal. He said IJ35c-10 (which is calendared and comparable to 3165RA). I want to keep the cost per decal relatively low and I'm afraid if I switch to all cast or even 3551RA it might kill that. I...
  11. media issue

    Hello everyone, I have a huge concern with my current digital media. Currently I use Oracal 3641 and 3165RA. I make a lot of window decals/bumper stickers. It seems the vinyl will move and leave the grey adhesive where it was originally was stuck. Anywhere from a couple months in the sun to a...
  12. Which way to go?

    Thanks for the help!
  13. Corel Draw or Adobe which do you prefer?

    Both are good. Illustrator has a HUGE learning curve. I have all 3. Flexi and Corel are the 2 I use.
  14. A great way to start the week off bad

    I feel for ya. That sucks. But take 2 drinks... they're small!
  15. Which way to go?

    To draw, trace, or design I'm looking at a Cintiq 21" tablet. I have Corel Draw but I keep hearing that Corel Painter is the tool I need. So to draw racecars, mascots, and cartoon characters would I need a Cintiq 21" tablet and Corel Painter? Is Corel Painter a Vector based program as well...
