"Currently I am running a small business after hours doing signwriting for local clubs and volunteer orgs that cant afford to engage the services of professional signwriter. I dont make a lot of cash out of it, but I am learning and enjoying doing it." This is NOT a personal thing against...

Just export from Corel as a CMX file. Make sure to convert to curves first though

Wayne is right... I ALWAYS export as a CMX into Flexi and cuts right everytime. BUT I also do a sample of CMX, DXF, and EPS just to see the minute differences.

More is less... Hang on... isn't the saying less is more? I'm even confusing maself... or is that him? Says AJ "Meat Man" but sells seafood.... what tha????????????? At least he accepts food stamps...

What is the best way to mount a 24" piece of vinyl? Are you serious? Go get a job where you don't have to think and insult others intelligence. OMG

Sorrry... been out... a few JB's It's CRAP CRAP CRAP.... did I mention CRAP? Go to a half reasonable website, get some ideas and if all else fails... copy. You can't get any worse. Artistic integirity says you have to say to the boss "this is crap". AmI being too honest here?

Where has trust gone?

Hey Joe... just paint a rounded corner frame, - say deep (but bright) blue, remove the acrylics and paint the backs the same colour as well as the studs / screws... maybe a rounded frame around those? . Maybe the best you can do apart from adding some hdu flourishes or something...

Love your work Joe... but this looks like the lone ranger

Less is more... period Mike Stevens would be proud. Take note newbies and those after a "design".

@ Jill: "the alphabets torn out of Mastering Layout" I can't believe you said that...lol

I generally find that those that have disdain are those that can't do it. Simple. But yes I CAN plot and print vinyl - same as the other person.

Other sign companies artwork. That's about it. just today I saw a sign of my artwork. To the lawers on Monday.

Better late than never...lol

I would DEFINATELY challenge that... those that understand the makeup of both the substrate and the paint would be able to remove, and cut back / polish without any "memory" of the sign / paint ever being there. Might be a good opportunity to ask your father or brother to educate you...

In todays world, one does not have to highlight "Hamburgers with egg, hamburgers with bacon, hamburgers with pineapple" etc etc etc. "Hamburgers" is sufficient, the rest is a given. When advertsing, we put " Signs, shopfronts, banners, vehicles" THAT'S IT !!!! The rest is assumed or in...

Pat Whately got me thinking about "hand lettering" and the whole - new versus old, technology versus talent, argument that seems to raise it's head often. This may encompass many different forum categories, so I apologise up front. Whilst I don't wish to (but probably will) raise a them v us...

Hi Pat There are many great and some stupid (ridiculous) comments to this thread. I for one cannot simply go up to a wall and "paint" it old style. But to pounce, trace, project and paint on a blank substrate... probably up there with the majority (not best) of them. What I can say...

For goodness sakes it's an "r". 99% of people would not pick it up. Life is too short. Come to some sort of agreement, forget who is to "blame", and move on. It's like a dropped memento... if you drop it you are the worst person on earth... if I drop it it's a mistake. It's nothing more...

Jill, drilling is easy. All you need to do is "sandwich" the acrylic between say mdf, and drill away. BUT !!! a pilot hole will always help, AND do not apply any pressure. Let the drill do the work. Basically, just "rest" the drill and pull the trigger. It will be a lot slower than usual, but...
