Been searching the net for items like this. My situation is an annual golf tournament that has many sponsors. Each sponsor gets a tabletop sign, either 16" square or 28" x 24". In the past I've simply applied an easel back - large - and hoped for the best. Of course, the tables are located out...

Not translucent, but transparent black. I have the opportunity to bid on a local law enforcement unit that uses quite a few ghosted vehicles. What they have looks every bit like a standard gold reflective (they have to have it reflect gold) that has been overprinted in black (vehicles are...

That looks like 1.5" coraplast. I was sitting at a light with a barrier next to me and hmm... smooth surface, but corrugated plastic core. Looks a lot like 10mm coro, but much, much thicker (like, maybe .080 or heavier) gauge. And of course, the overall thickness. Have no idea what it's called...

This just happened... trying to adjust my PF on my 1204 as it's been off for a while and just haven't gotten to it. While loading my vinyl, I advanced it with the keypad (forward), then hit reverse to bring it back to position.. and the vinyl continued to advance forward. Uh-oh.. what's going on...

Hi all, I've got a fire department that bought themselves a new ATV (Bombardier, I believe). Stopped out to look at it yesterday and it looks like 99% of the body is a low energy plastic. There are a few decals from the factory.. not very thick like Convex.. that are already on there (will be...

Ok, sort of got into a lively discussion on an automotive forum about the use of vinyl in an engine compartment as decoration. Essentially, the owner of this particular car wanted to wrap his air intake with a carbon fiber wrap vinyl and was wondering on the life span. I thought it would be...

Hi all, I'm currently printing a series of door badges for one of my local departments in grey scale. That in of itself isn't too much an issue. Having tried to print greys in CMYK and having them green tinted wasn't in the cards, so I designed everything as greyscale and printed in greyscale...

Dumb question and really doesn't fall under wraps, other than it's from 3M's "wrap" division: Has anyone installed their striping kits? My local Ford dealer is killing me with Mustang kits, purchasing them from 3M. That, I don't particularly care about - the vinyl itself is great to work with...

The 'R' is throwing me. I know it's condensed and heavy, but I have nothing in the 500 some odd resident fonts that look like this:

Tried looking on the Corel bulletin boards and forums, but it's like navigating a minefield. No real answers, soo.... I downloaded their latest fix/patch for X7 on Friday past, and didn't use the program again until Sunday. It fired up fine, or so it seemed, until I got into one of my files and...

Hi guys, I'm in the midst of a large rebrand for a fire station. Several of the new trucks are based on the Ford F250 superdutys with the ugly fender valleys. Part of the job entails installing a 6" wide stripe the length of the vehicle, going over the fenders: Now, I have a hard enough time...

Shout out to Casey at Signburst for the mega horsepower machine I recently purchased. We've been chasing very minor set up problems, but Casey has never not had a moment to troubleshoot over the phone. Often, we'll sit and laugh while he works remotely, trying to disentangle some of my older...

Interesting stuff - I can see lots of sign related applications if the half-life can be lengthened: http://lumilor.com/

May be hand drawn, photo from client too fuzzy! Even if I can find something close, it would beat vectorizing this! Any help would be appreciated - thanks! Rick

Up to my eyeballs with this damn program. Was working on a fairly complex file tonight and asked it to do outline a photo and the program crashes. No problem, it's done that before, except this time when I re-open the file there is nothing there. I check the autobackup, and that, too, is empty...

Hi gang, I've got a job that is requiring an odd reflective color - burgundy, to be exact. Too much to print, lam and cut, so I started looking outside of 3M, FDC and Oracal, all of which don't offer a burgundy reflective. The first one that came up was Avery.. and available locally at my...

Just finished a large layout job and went to save it and the program crashed in the middle of the save. Of course, I go to open it again, and there is nothing there at all - on any of the pages. I have the auto-backup which I can work from if I can open that - but it's telling me that there is...

Been using CoCut for years from Summa. Went to plot a file this morning and the cutter simply drew a rectangle - blade up - around the area that the plot would have occupied. There was no bounding border on the items selected. Tried it again on another file and the same thing happened. I have a...

Well, sort of. The media flange holders on the back of the machine with the little rollers - what are those called? I busted one this morning with the edge of the flange; it (the flange) still sits on the rollers, but one side of the plastic holder is gone. Might not make a difference, but I...
