Here's another plug for the rasterisation method- make the gradient in Photoshop, and apply a hefty blurr if necessary. Save is as a low resolution file, and place that into Illy & stretch it out to size.

oops, double post!

If you're having problems installing Signtools 3, I'd contact Signtools about it. I don't have it installed, so I can't offer help.

Nitro , I believe Corel 7 was fraught with problems, and they came up with a repaired edition called Corel Select Edition, numbered 7.267 or some such similar number. That edition does work to drive the plotter, but I'm not so sure about version 7 alone. Email me if you'd like a manual. Are...

Ken, I didn't have to add the outline with Signtools, but without it, you do have to- from Corel. I was just covering all bases, seeing that he hadn't got Signtools going. I haven't used Signtools since I got Win XP, as version 2 doesn't work with XP. I was going to buy the upgrade at the Aussie...

Jim, please fix your spelling in future enquiries, and be really clear in what you have done, and how, and what you would like. Some capital letters, and the word 'one' rather than 1 when you mean 'anyone' would be a great help. Otherwise, my impression is you're just being arrogant and...

I think he got it going- a simple change to mode-2 & hgpl language, & a few other console panel settings had to be adjusted.

...anyone?

HI all, our router used to have a knife & pen holder. That's long since been lost by a former owner. I'm keen to get a plotter blade holder going again for it, for plotting big signs through the coversheet of dibond etc. (the router has a 2.0 x 3.6 metre bed) The old one used to have some...

HI Dave, I'm not sure what this bit of signs101 ism but I'm replying to the 'friend request'. See you sometime! Ian

"Would you, if you could, put all of the other sign business in your area out of business? " definitely not- you never know when you may need to rely on their help! What about the work you don't want to do- who's going to do that? How is devalueing the trade going to help the business...

HI, I was wondering if you would tell me abit more about the three phase converter you have- capacity, cost, problems, power quality etc. We have single phase here- and I have a 3 phase diesel generator which we have to use- but I'm keen to not have to listen to it all the time!

or are they the new solid-state ones? Our router arrives this afternoon at a depot 50 miles from here, so the fun will start soon! (it's an Esab plasma-cutter bed converted to a Tekcel router, like the gerbers I think. It takes up 10 x 17 ft of floor space- I'm still making room for it!

Has anyone ever had problems with the phase converters? I presume they're always rotary ones?

It's available here, downunder, as a download... after you part with $1500.

well I'd be happy to have one!

Good luck- sounds awfully scammish to me...beware, beware!

I'll go back to an earlier angle- he wants numbers on his cars, and he wants low cost, done by himself... EASY!!! Buy 1 roll of white vinyl, cut off a patch & stick it to the door- no need for app tape, you're doing a 'wrap' here. Then get a sharpie and write the number on it, and take an...

In due course, you'll learn exactly why they were keen to get rid of that stuff...you'll have many heartaches ahead of you in the learning curve, my friend, and there are no shortcuts, sorry! Corel 8 ought to work them both, but you'll need to find & download the drivers for the machines...

are both colours solid- or is one a halftone photo? I'd screen also, even for 25.
