Hi from Northwest Florida. Have fun. Learn lots. Good Luck. --William

That's an interesting mix of businesses! I assume you'll mostly be doing car graphics, then. Not my forte, but many here, I'm sure, are into that area of the vinyl biz. Welcome aboard. --William

I would think that you would rarely need to adjust your blade depth...unless you are switching to material of very different thickness like sandblast mask (sandblast mask is very thick). There are several different types of vinyl; I'll name the three most common: Intermediate (also called...

Are you using a USB or SERIAL connection? If it's a serial connection, make sure the cable says IEEE-1294 on it somewhere, if it doesn't then that might be the problem. If it's a USB connection, ensure that your USB port AND cable are USB2 and not USB1 (if either the port or the cable are...

After you apply the evelope, are you THEN converting to curves? That will make the envelope go away. If the evelope is still part of the object that could be causing driver problems. Converting the text to curves BEFORE applyling the envelope is not what I mean, BTW (which is what I think you...

Correction: It's an INSERT CHARACTER docker in CorelDraw.

If you are using a windows-based computer, try (while entering text) holding down the "alt" key while pressing the numbers (one at a time) 0 1 8 3. Be sure to hold the alt key down the whole time; let go of it after you press the "3." These are fine for bullets separating things where you...

I like photoshop better than photopaint, but I'll have to wait to get that.

I am not familiar with Berling, but I know that Rage Italic is a Corel font...so if you have CorelDraw...you can probably install this font (will need to run Bitstream Font Navigator). If you have version 11 or 12, the fonts are actually on disc 3 even though it says "Fonts" on disc 1. Then...

From One Sutherner to Anuther :Welcome: to :signs101: , I think you'll be able to get any sign questions you might have answered here. --William Bass

Well, you are quite welcome.

Well, I had no duplicate or open paths (but it would cause problems if I had them, for sure), but Jimdes solution works very easily (fools Corel into doing what it should have done in the first place, apparently). Corel emailed me to say they couldn't duplicate my problem, and then explained...

On the other hand, if you have clipart that is bitmaps or tiffs or jpegs, etc. and it is also black and white, or has only a few colors, and especially if all the colors in the art are solid colors, you can easily convert such things to vector images for your plotters using either Adobe's bitmap...

If you have a simple vinyl cutter (as opposed to a wide format printer), then you may have noticed that the cutter cuts LINES and that is all it can do (what else would you expect a knife blade to do?)...that is why you have that limitation. The technical name for the LINES is VECTORS. Art...

You remind me very much of my Financial Management professor in college...one of the sharpest people I ever met in my life (as far as business was concerned...I didn't know much else about him). You sound as though you have formal education in business concepts (and also communication skills)...

I wonder if we might be talking apples and oranges, sort of. What you describe sounds like an educated businessman who understands financial information; I am talking about business owners who don't understand financial information. I guess I made an overly broad statement at first; Gross...
