Hello.
Not new to the sign biz, but have lots to learn. Saw an older gent hand lettering a sign, over 15 yrs ago, and then helped a friend in Minnesota do some signs ... They were both very very good craftsmen and artists. Thought to buy a vinyl cutter and software and started doing signs just with vinyl and even painting and more - part time from home/shop. Now I have been drawn further into the whirlpool and can't or won't get out. Got some big boy equipment and trying to make a go of it. HP 26500, Graphtec FC8600 and a laminator, Onyx Thrive 11, Corel 16 etc. I really appreciate signs 101 and the sharing, but not sure how to add anything. Appreciate all the organizing of info and the messages that are posted and such help.
I still have a problem getting my CutContour lines in decals etc from Corel to be cut by the Graphtec via cut server, after printing on my HP via Onyx Thrive 11. I have tried so many things but this is not working yet and have lost lots of income that way and feel out of the loop and, well you know. Cutting Master from Corel cuts fine, printing on lots of substrates is fine too.
I am located in an out-of-the way market, but there is lots of potential to make money. Cheers.
