Remove the dust cover on the tool carriage and blow the dust and crud out of it with a bit of compressed air. Pay particular attention to the blade up/down mechanism. It doesn't take much contamination at all to screw things up. This often repeated instruction is, far more often than not, the...

Exactly so.

"All these who are employed here take one step forward. Just a moment there John."

I have no idea as to what Design Art Pro even is let alone of what it might or might not be capable. If it's a an Illustrator/Corel/etc-like package there no doubt is a way or two. If it is not then bog knows if you can or cannot... Just concern yourself with dropping out the background and...

One does not convert a bitmap to a vector image. No one no how not ever. What happens is that the pertinent regions of the bitmap are traced or simply redrawn. There is no other way. Not in this universe.The bitmap must be re-created as a vector image. Period. If a vector image is converted to a...

A fence is not a creative work, something which is unambiguously defined and protected by current copyright statute. Your analogy does, however, fall neatly into the category of 'tortured reasoning'.

You might want to familiarize yourself with some of the finer points of the Berne Convention, of which the USofA signed onto in 1989, before you drop your keyboard into gear and look more the fool.

Where are you locating the cutter blade when you start? If you're using automatic marks you must manually move the blade so that the blade holder is just inside the imaginary box described by the registration marks and then, most important, set the plotter's origin to that point. Then send...

As a data point I have a Dell that's be banging away running Flexi and Corel as well as driving my printer[s] and plotter[s] for the last 12 years or so without any problem whatsoever. Ever. Know that virtually all computer manufacturers are little more than integrators assembling pretty much...

No. Don't use steel wool unless you want it to look like someone used steel wool on it and most certainly don't use paint thinner. The absolute best way to age a painted sign is to scrub it with kitchen cleanser. The powered variety with pumice or some sort of gentle abrasive in it. Just wet...

Corel doesn't do EPS or AI very well and neither does Flexi. Export from Corel as a legacy CMX. This is as close as you will come to what you see in Corel is what you get in Flexi.

Anytime you encounter this phrase, or any variation of it, you can stop reading and supply what inevitably follows.

Never having met a fellow human who wasn't a practicing moron that cleaved to a particular philosophy for a lifetime I can state that for virtually all normal beings, most certainly that time will come.

Instead of a tattoo you might consider a bumper sticker. Then when you no longer think that it's just the best thing ever, and that time will come, you can scrape it off your bumper.

They're supposed to get hot and to press. Do these do that? If so you're good. If not, you're not.

Speaking from hard-wrought experience never as in ever use the machine that drives your equipment for anything else. Keep it absolutely and completely off-line and it will just sit there chugging away dutifully year after year. That being the case you need two machines. One to drive your...

Absolutely true. The rights, being freedom of religion and the practice thereof, of the baker and the photographer are specifically and unequivocally enumerated in the constitution. The rights of the those wanting baked goods and/or photographs are not. Consider a larger issue: Just how...

I might go along with your interpretation of the former. One probably could not be, say, a cannibal, in the name of religious freedom. However, I do believe the practitioners of Santeria are give some slack in their dubious animal offerings to their gods. It's uncertain just where the boundaries...

Really? When you go to a restaurant you just say "Bring whatever you have the most of" instead of selecting from the menu? Everyone should be forced to like Brussels sprouts? Anyone should be able to like or not like and choose to associate or not associate with anyone or anything for any...

Freedom of religion is an enumerated right and reading between the lines is usually recommended when someones wants something interpreted their way instead of the way it's actually stated. There is no 'freedom of religion" in quotes in the context in which you use the term. It's an unalienable...
