    Does anyone know where to find this vector or have any vectors similar? I searched and went through Shutterstock's website with no luck. Any help is appreciated!
  2. Flexi Color Trace Leaving Red "Ghost" Outline

    I have had problems with this in other versions of Flexi, but I am currently using Flexi 12: Edit/Add: The raster image colors were red and white(hence why I used color trace). The vector was changed to the black shown below. -When I have a raster image and use the color trace function, I...
  3. Unique Slogan Contest!

    This is meant for FUN: My buddy and I are entered in a bean bag tournament at a huge racing event where there are a couple handful's of cars we have wrapped together. We are looking for a funny team name or slogan to go with our team. So far I have only thought up "Team JK Designs - Dickered &...
  4. Signs2Trade.com Discount Code

    I know they are a vendor on here and I have been ordering quite frequently lately. Is there a discount code or a Signs101 discount code to enter or for reduced shipping? Just ordered 9 12"x18" parking signs and $30 to ship. If there is, great!

    This trailer will be used exclusively for myself and be wrapped advertising my logo. Any ideas on how to separate this wrap with the chrome stripe coming down or should I wrap over the stripe with the design I made? I have yet to wrap a trailer--Any other tips? THANKS!
  6. Even line/object spacing??? Any tricks in Flexi for this?

    I have a customer that wants some inspection decals made up like shown. Is there a way I can make the 31 circles, select them all, center align them, and then have them be evenly spaced without having to click each one and move them with my cursor??? If there is a shortcut, I haven't found it...
  7. Vinyl Express Lxi 10 Issues

    I have had problems with Lxi 10 locking up on startup and requiring me to reinstall it, losing all of my patterns, colors, etc. Is there a way anyone has upgraded to 12 and is this something that I can do to avoid having to uninstall and re-install? This has happened 5-6 times now and I'm very...
  8. Oracal 3651 RA for Modified Race Car "Wraps"?

    Right now we use Instant One Media which I will stand behind saying it is junk--had nothing but problems(edges peeling, delamination, lam. bubbling). Its cheap....and that's about it. Has anyone used Oracal 3651 RA for "wrapping" modified race cars(mainly flat, no curves)??? Or any 3M products...
  9. Signs2Trade Photo Examples

    I have been a member of the forum for under a year and happy to say I utilized one of the merchants Signs2Trade.com for one of my 4'x10' banners. Since I utilized their drop shipping service(which is genius I might add), I never got to see the quality hem-welds & grommets. Just wondering if...
  10. My own logo opinion/changes?

    I started out with a very simple logo, then with feedback from people I changed it up to make it a little more edgier. Just as a cool thing, It'd be fun to see what some of you would come up with given what I have shown(disregard background). Any thoughts/changes? Feel free to post your own...
  11. Data Backup/Ghosting or Cloud service for files?

    I use my laptop to do my design work as well as the use of an external hard drive, but to make life easier and access files on a cloud or some other data backup place, what do you recommend? Free is great but lets say my computer crashed, I would be back to square 1 and frankly screwed. What is...
  12. Fluorescent overlays on wraps/signs/etc.

    On pretty much all of our race car wraps we do, we have requests to make certain numbers or letter fluorescent. Normally I cut the overlay's and use a paper mask, spray the graphic with fluid and then slide to position and squeegee. I have thought of using a clear mask and no fluid but just...
  13. Trailer--cut vinyl job pricing

    I did a trailer and need to know roughly what to charge. I used 80 square feet of Oracal 751 Silver Metallic, 2 hours design time, and 3.5 hours cutting/masking/installing. The panel's are 8'w x 4' high on the 2 sides and 2' x 4.5' on the rear. Thanks!!
  14. R-Tape Conform 4075RLA Adhesive Problems????

    I ordered a roll of 24" R-Tape Conform 4075RLA back in the middle of October and never used it until a week or two ago(been doing a lot of printed wraps not needing mask). I did some stripes using matte black Oracal 751 and wouldn't stick. I figured it was due to the matte finish and wrote it...
  15. Instant One Media

    We use Instant One Media(Calendered) to do race car "wraps" on modifieds & street stocks. I am wondering about shrinking around rivets, if I can use a torch & which kind of gas I would want to use. I normally use the heat gun on 1200*F and use my finger to go around the rivets but would like to...
  16. How to make "inside shadow" ?????

    See attached picture. How do you do the "inside shadow" so it looks like the white is "pushed in". I know I'm not describing it right but would like to know how to do in Flexi or Illustrator. Thanks!!!! Also a side note: this example is from www.srgfx.com and I have purchased this set as well...
  17. Stripe "Gradient" How To???

    Not sure the name of this or what you call it, but where the stripes start out small and get bigger as they go outward(see example picture). What is this called and how do you do it beside making the stripes and then doing a "separate overlap" and changing colors???
  18. Lxi Master Plus 11 (Flexi) Export issue. HELP PLEASE!!!!

    I design wraps for race cars and have my buddy print them for me, then I install them. I make my file using SAI's Lxi Master Plus V11 and export to .pdf normally. I have had an ongoing issue of exporting. I can try .pdf, .ai, .eps, and EVEN .jpeg(for proofing) and it will cause certain colors...
  19. Mutoh VJ 1204 Maintenance Station

    I still have yet to print or see any ink come out of the head or to the waste tank of my VJ 1204. I have the lines primed, did a head soak(30 mins), and no luck. I was told to check the head fuses on the main board. I took the main board out, checked the fuses out of circuit along with the other...
