I am a member of several types of forums - sandcarving, engraving, signs, etc. Only one of them is a subscription forum, the engraving forum, and I gladly pay the price for that one. My main focus is on the engraving part of my business so it is very much worth it for me. The cost is pretty...

Wow! Thanks for all the replies! I guess my email notification of replies isn't working, I didn't see anything past the first couple of replies. The detailed explanation would work really well, I appreciate that advice B Snyder!!! As it turns out, I ended up doing them in a single color -...

I have been spending my time trying to come up with creative ways of getting it done, not "excuses not to do it" myself. I am not sure what I typed that gave you that impression, but that is absolutely not what I was doing. I am a rookie and looking for help. That's exactly the advice I was...

That's what I thought I was going to do until I figured out how much time it would take to do it that way. I was hoping for something less time consuming. Also, the "obvious" way I thought of doint it was not likely to be the way that a seasoned pro would do it - that's why I'm here, to learn...

I'm not arguing with you about a term in your industry, but in my model making background, decals always referred to waterslide decals, not something like vinyl. I promise to change my ways though!

How do you transfer from one backing to the other? The transfer tape seems too sticky to allow me to do that. Any more detail on how to do that?

Yes, but not by me. The other thing is the vinyl is a pms color, avery only, and they are VERY picky about the color.

I have a sticker job, 150 3" x 8" stickers, that I just can't figure out how to do... The sticker is very simple, just two lines of text in two different colors of vinyl. The problem, my problem anyway, is that the customer wants them ready to apply, both colors and lines at one time. If they...

Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, etc., etc. Compare them to Honda and Toyota and you see that there is NO comparison. What are the two most popular vehicles? Honda Accord and Toyota Camry - nuff said... Gary

Another option before unilstall is to start it up with F8 - may work, may not. Gary

Got it and sent you a CS2 file. Gary

I have CS3 and X3 - send me the cdr and I'll open and save in whatever format you need. Gary

I get that... But, how many times have you searched for something relatively simple and ended up with hundreds of threads to search through only to find that they really have nothing to do with answering your question? I always start with a search and then ask a question if I don't find what I...

That's just plain BS. What does it hurt to ask a simple question? What if someone here had done exactly what you suggested and now the OP could benefit from that? Isn't that why we are here, to help and be helped by other's experiences? Granted, his question was pretty specific and not likely to...

Thanks for all the replies everyone! My apologies for not posting sooner, I forgot to turn on the notification and I didn't know anyone had replied. I only saw 1 negative post - techman said "amature software.. does things you should be able to do yourself.". One of the major things I want...

Anyone using this program? It seems kinda spendy but it would be nice to be able to use corel to "print" to my vinyl plotter. I don't plan on doing a lot of vinyl, it's primarily for cutting sandcarving masks, but this might even work for that too. Any feedback? Thanks, Gary

$18.47, and I'll pay shipping! :thankyou:

This is so basic that I can't believe I need to ask, but I am really feeling stupid/humbled/? I have an Ioline I/S 60 plotter, 24" wide. I have some 12", 15" and 24" vinyl. I am doing my design work in Corel X3 and exporting to a .plt file to import into the "Ioline Control Center". I'll get...

Welcome from the Pacific Northwest!

The plotter I got came with some end-rolls of vinyl. I don't know how old they are, but I guess that might matter. My questions are: How detailed can I get? What would be the smallest point size font you could expect to cut? I know a different font will make a difference in cut, but lets...
