I wouldn´t write it off as hand drawn yet. It looks very familiar. At the very least like maybe they took a font and manually cut lines into it to get the stencilled look. Have you posted it on the whatthefont.com forums yet?

We went from an encad novajet (POS in my opinion) to an XC540 and we´ve been thrilled with the results. Works great, no banding (huge issue with the novajet), and the ink is put down pretty thick, it can actually fool you into thinking it´s cut vinyl, you can see a tiny raised edge with an area...

fred´s tutorial was spot on, but it almost looks like you had something vector to start with? If so, depending on how those vector lines were arranged you maybe could have done it without redrawing it. It sounds like you already figured it out, but in case anyone else was wondering about the...

Gotta tell us what printer you're talking about? So you figure it normally would be displaying the size (our roland shows the size in inches after you have everything set up)... but the low ink warning is overriding it and blocking it? If it's a wide format printer that clamps stuff down...

Even tho they figured it out, I just wanted to mention another thing I see all the time... so annoying. Many times I've had companies provide illustrator files where it's just a single jpg with a clipping mask around the edge... and otherwise there's nothing vector. Weirdly, it's really high...

Offtopic: does anyone actually pay to use those vectorizing services, like the kind advertised on brandsoftheworld? I wouldn't because I'm pretty handy at it, but I'm still curious how successful they are, and what the quality of the artwork is like. I wonder if they just use nice autotrace...

I think the guys who make those expensive special rollers, rivet wheels, squeegees, etc... simply lack competition. If there's nothing else exactly like it, then someone will pay it because the aggravation of using an inferior tool outweighs the 100 buck cost. It's super frustrating using the...

I guess it depends on what the want to use the logo for. If they are naming their little league team the Panthers and want to use the Carolina Panthers logo, and just have you photoshop out "Carolina"... then for sure, no, they're stealing someone else's design work and using another team's...

The font is called "Ithuriel" - http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/scriptorium/ithuriel/ithuriel/

I wish I had something really useful... I would just confirm that there's no other problem... swap the existing cable with a known working cable... try sending the cut job from a modern computer that has a newish flexi pro (basically you need a friend with another sign shop here). Or if you're...

Hrm, bummer. It for sure looks like something we can get on the roland with eco-solvent. Close to signal yellow vinyl (which is oracal I think?). Anyway, I assume those 40 little color boxes already had this, but I can see it's yellow with a smidge of magenta. I'd probably make 10 boxes and have...

I think I remember a recent post for a roland XC540 for only like 3K off, when it was used 6 months. That's actually probably fair, but the hell of it is... reselling big ticket items that get used for practical purposes never seems to lead to a fair price. It's like cars, the instant it leaves...

it's a very good policy to match the new memory brand and type with your existing make'n'model. Then you know they'll play nicely together. It's not all that common for two different brands to cause issues with each other, but it does happen sometimes. Another good reason to match is simply...

I'd heard this can be an issue too, and that the fix is to just do medium sized batches and send the print job a few times rather than 1 large batch. And/or do what wooly said, set up a bunch of the in your design program and have it print crop marks and let it analyze them, that's always...

a half inch is nuts, I still can't fathom how that happens. Our default speed and 65-100 cut strength, using thick lam, doesn't track off by more than maybe 2 mm. Is the graphic like super long but very thin? I once foolishly contour cut some stripes that were like 150 inches long by a half inch...

I have burgues and some of the others... Those special swirly letters are alternates of the regular letters. Opentype fonts have alternates for lots of characters, and you can access these characters by going to the glyphs pallette in your design program. Check out this page for some...

maybe a dumb question, but did you touch the print stuff before loading it at all? Dunno if you've been printing for 10 years or 1 week. Anyway don't touch it, I used to think "wtf is making those patterns?" and I realized it was palmprints :P I have used both GCVP and generic and they both...

freebies that I thought of: http://www.dafont.com/mutlu-ornamental.font More conservative: http://www.dafont.com/chopin-script.font Mostly the caps are swirly but the lower not so much. http://www.dafont.com/champignon.font Pretty much the same story. This does have a few alternate characters...

Are you saying the entire sheet shifted, or that the cuts were just off a bit? If the entire sheet shifted, that's crazy, the pressure from that dragging blade shouldn't be able to move the entire sheet in any direction, the pinch roller pressure is pretty good (at least on our xc-540) and the...

My first thought was Affair. Check out the sample at the bottom of this page: http://www.veer.com/products/typedetail.aspx?image=UMT0000181 It's a beautiful font but get out your wallet. The same guy also did Burgues Script: http://www.sudtipos.com/fonts/97 Extra super swirly. I can keep...
