  1. Shaking ink cartridges

    We've had our Epson since the S series first came out, what 6-7 years ago? Shake the cartridges according to schedule vigorously and never had air bubble problems.
  2. Corel gurus - I need you! Gradiants on edges

    I do that effect by copying the shape to the clipboard, pasting it back, making a larger contour of it and combining the contour with the object. Then powerclip it inside the original object and make a glow shadow of it in the color you need.
  3. Monument font

    The block letters look like Franklin Gothic.
  4. Fiberglass sign manufacturer wanted

    That used to be a standard sign blank available from Fiber Brite. But they went out of business--ACM killed them. If I remember, you could do the radius corners with a standard corner rounding tool.
  5. Large quantity cut vinyl supplier

    At the shop I managed before I went out on my own we did cut and assembled two color vinyl decals for a major marine satellite company. I have one of my former employees I had there, and the best man ever at doing that weeding and assembling has been begging me to hire him for several years. We...
  6. Has to be an easier way??

    When you fit text to path, you can grab it and move it anywhere on the path you want, top or bottom of the path, plus there are invert and reverse buttons to move it to the other side of path and make it backwards and forwards. You can also pull it away from the path. The various distances are...
  7. Shaking ink cartridges

    I have an Epson. The silver and white cartridges have to be shaken daily. Takes 15 seconds. The other colors (including orange) it's every three weeks. There's a sticker on the printer that says to. If you don't do the silver and white the printer will remind you on the display. And if those...
  8. Need Help Just a curious question about window perf laminate

    Just price it appropriately and it's not a problem.
  9. No "convert fonts" options when doing a save as pdf?

    All that blather from the so-called "Adobe scientist" sounds the same as Microsoft saying it's not a bug, it's designed behavior. Except Adobe sycophants (especially those that use Macs) drink the Kool Aid and believe everything they say. And why not, because in their world nobody uses anything...
  10. Need Help 80600 and wrap vinyl

    If a weekend doesn't dry it, you are probably grossly overinking. Check your profiles.
  11. Need Help Just a curious question about window perf laminate

    You laminate perf to install it on vehicle windows. If you don't, you can't see out when it rains. The rain fills the holes and obscures vision.

    It does that because of the compound curve, the same way windshield lettering turns into a frown unless you adjust it during installation. For this one, I'd install the two words separately and adjust the lower line so it looks straight. This involve partially cutting between the letters and...
  13. Mimaki UCJV300-160 - Problem Printing Red

    PixelMolla, As far as my language in saying "you downloaded", please understand my goal is to use fewer words. I am not assigning blame. Whether it was a technician or your employee who downloaded the bad profiles doesn't matter. The fact is they were downloaded and they were the problem you...

    The latest version of this I got was asking for BLM banners
  15. Discussion Not exactly logo......................................

    Primary font for headlines and subheads is Typold, in various weights and regular/extended/condensed. Body Copy is Oakes and Oakes Bold. Numbers, taglines, legal are in Barlow Semi Condensed Regular and Medium. These and the C21 Masterbrand Guidelines pdf file and C21 Signage Guidelines pdf...
  16. Need to approve my application method?

    Why don't you ask them what they mean by that question? Usually a question like that is loaded because they are concerned about some particular thing and want to make sure you don't do it. Like, they don't want the lettering painted on the tenant face that they would like to be reusable for...
  17. Discussion Not exactly logo......................................

    Gino, your sign doesn't even come close to the corporate guidelines for signage. It's not black they require. It's a dark gray. Helvetica isn't one of the font choices. The font you used for informational copy isn't either. The use of the logo and wordmark isn't correct. Here are some examples...
  18. Chance for me to help a friend. FOnt ID. 5 or 6 different

    If you think those are not Helvetica, then you need to get better scans of them. Waves hand: Helvetica will do fine.
  19. Mimaki UCJV300-160 - Problem Printing Red

    Why don't most here recommend Caldera? Probably because it's a French company and Onyx is American. And most users of this forum are in the US or Canada. Since both are full-featured RIP software, rather than decontented software bundled with the printer, either one should vastly outperform...
  20. Chance for me to help a friend. FOnt ID. 5 or 6 different

    Federal Mogul is a logo and is available at brandsoftheworld.com The font used is Eurostile Bold Extended (Microgramma Bold Extended). Most of the other text is Helvetica (Swiss 721) in various weights. 7 STEPS is Eurostile Bold that's been stretched slightly. Other than the logo, I'm not sure...
