  1. polyarc / polygone ?

    I see in Signlab under general preferences these 2 selections.... Honestly I do not know what the difference is and why I have to select one. Can anyone make sense of it? The only thing I know is that sometimes when I break paths and then re combine them, that if I dont click the object to one...
  2. what would be an 80% opaque window film?

    This naturally is a specified material by an architect....anybody know if there is such a product and is it frosted, window tint or white difuser? I am without a clue at this point... lol

    Well I finally have made the big show.... I had to make 10 decals for a customer to put on rookie James Hinchcliffe's car..... I guess it aint much but it's as close as I have gotten to the big show. I do graphics for a Rolex grand american prototype.... but this is way cooler!!!! lol...
  4. Gee, I thought I was so smart on this

    Customer requests vinyl cut decals with a colour that is virtually impossible to match using 4 col so we do all there stuff in vinyl and I drop the black into it and premask. they wanted small decals also and I smartly said no problem, we can print the black on the green and die cut...
  5. can SignLab 8 break masks?

    can SignLab 8 break masks? If so what is the term of the function that does it and where do I find it? seeing that illustrator seems to have them I would think you could break them in the software

    I think this font is way cool and worth having...but I do need to replicate a customers name using this one. any ideas you font gurus? It is the copy reading outerlimits
  7. need a quick response about applying wrap film

    I have to basically apply a small area along the rear of a ford escape which goes over the wheel wells a bit and then over the tail light. I have the graphic ready but now sit here and wonder if I should use premask. I am assuming the rigidity of premask will make application difficult...
  8. phone lines down again!!!

    4th time my lines are down since march 22. The worst part is that when I get in touch with those that have called the number it says it has not been assigned!! I looking for a new carrier but they all ride on mother bells back so it is all the same i am sure... Fak!!!
  9. pantone 165 - cant find a close match

    I have searched my colour charts and just cant seem to get the richness of this colour. I have an existing client who is changing all their vehicles over to this colour and a 5415. The 5415 is no problem to match and was thinking that I can print one colour and use regular vinyl for the...
  10. strange colour request

    I am not sure if this person is confused or maybe I just have never heard of a colour being described this way. The request is for a pantone 485 with 10%K - That cant be correct. Would not the red get terribly dark? I also have never heard of mixing a pantone with one 4 colour process...
  11. how to reinstall win xp in a Dell notebook when I never received any discs?

    I posted something like this a while back and someone said that the actual software resides somewhere on the c drive. How do you find it or activate it to reinstall. My comp is so slow and screwed up I just want to start fresh.I have backed up everything I need. anyone know how to do this?
  12. simple illy file with 5 signs is 38mg!!!

    I am going slightly crazy with a file. It was origianlly set up in cs5 and from what I can tell should be 5 very simple vectored signs. mostly type with a litlle bit of a redraw. I cant open it in anything I have so I took it to my designer and he has cs4. he got it open although it acted very...
  13. I hate to rant but have no choice

    Actually I love to rant...it is my hobby it seems lol 2 weeks ago I returned a shipment of corrogated plastic because when it was put through the laminator it crushed them and warped up the signs. I could squeeze the corrogations together with my thumb and finger almost effortlessly. I...
  14. I want to kick some Flexi azz!!!

    I am not sure why this happens and if it is normal with Flexi software, but it has caught me and cost me more than once or twice. It is something so hard to really detect that only by fluke do you catch it. I am talking about PDF files. I have never seen a software that will open a file and...
  15. can someone make sense of this?

    I dont understand Flexi as far as the production manager goes. If I set up a job and then save the job after ripping it, it saves all the information from the rip with it. I like that and it helps the next time you run the job. Now I have seen the program doing this and feel somewhat...
  16. Should we be worried?

    A friend of mine has made some youtube videos concerning cell phone radiation and the effects it may be having on all of us. Is he on the right path? Are cell phone manufacturers and carriers trying to hide something from us like big tobacco tried to? For what the device costs is it...
  17. Laptop running incredibly slow

    I cant figure this out..... Doing anything on the internet is painfully slow on this beast. I have run avg / combo fix / malwarebytes and spybot search and destroy and nothing is ever found. I also run cc cleaner daily What else can one do to determine what is causing the slowdown? I really...
  18. both black cartridges "ink end" at the exact same time

    In 4 years I have never had two cartridges expire at the exact same time, and both the same colour. I now put dates on the cartridges to see how fast they are consumed.

  20. flatbed printers ink adhesion question

    For those of you that have a flatbed printer I want to ask this. If you were to print on 1/4" acrylic with your machine and then applied a white vinyl to the ink side as a backup, would the vinyl be able to pull the ink off the acrylic with little effort? In other words although the vinyl is...
