Greetings, We only have Corel X3. Customer has emailed a cdr file, which appears blank for us, so I'm thinking it might be in a newer version. Could someone try and open it? If it works, save as X3 or an eps? Reply with an email address and I'll send it across. Much appreciated.

Today is Rememberance Day in Canada, and I, for one, would like to express my appreciation and respect to our Veterans and all who serve. It is because of their sacrifices that we enjoy the freedoms that we do.

Greetings, Can anyone point me in the right direction? We have a client looking for a roll-up display with a cutout so people can put there heads in and pictures taken - you know the sort of thing. Obviously, roll-up stands with a single pole won't work - does anyone supply a two-pole system...

Greetings! Is there a way in Coreldraw, of making outlines less perfect? I have a trace to do on a previously hand-done image - the outlines are easy enough to trace, but look too 'clean' and perfect. Is there a way of making them look more hand drawn/painted?

Greetings, It's been a while since I've bought a new vinyl plotter, so I'm a little out of the loop. Are there such things as network attached plotters i.e. ones that can be accessed directly through the network? Or are they all USB connection to a computer?

Greetings! Does anyone have a recommendation for reflective vinyl - something conformable and relatively easy to work with? Does anyone make an air release reflective?

Hi, Does anyone know - in Versaworks when it shows the estimated ink consumption for a print - is that total (i.e. CMYK) or per color? Fro instance, a 4'x8' print might show as 29ml of ink? I would think that is for all four colors total?

Greetings! Applying cut vinyl graphics to new flex face material - opinion: apply vinyl before stretching in frame, or apply to stretched flex face after fitting into frame?

Greetings! We have a trusty Roland VP-540 and Versaworks. We have a project at the moment to print a quantity of 4'x8' grayscale images - the customer has supplied full size grayscale TIF files to work from. Knowing that gray can be problematic, can anyone recommend a way of approaching these...

Greetings! I'm doing some costing calcs for a job - does anyone have the average ink coverage (i.e. sq.ft per CMYK set) for Roland Eco-Sol inks? I have it written somewhere, but damned if I can find it! Thanks!

Greetings! After cutting a bunch of Sintra (pvc) on our router, they are now full of static. Not withstanding we don't have any anti-static equipment, what is everyones favourite way of dealing with the static prior to apply decals to the Sintra? We commonly use iso alcohol, but is there...

Greetings all! I'm not very good at relating color names to actual colors - can someone suggest a good CMYK or RGB formula for "Hot Pink" ? Thanks!

Greetings! I have a Signlab font on my system called "amandame" or Amanda Medium - but I'm looking for the ttf or otf equivelant to use with Corel on another project. Looking for "amanda" on line yields many incorrect fonts - does anyone know what other name it might be called? Thanks!

Greetings! Does anyone know if there is a formula for calculating the apparent size of a sign from a given distance? For example, how big would a 4'x8' panel appear to the observer from, say, 100ft away? This kind of math is outside my comfort zone, but it sure would be handy to be able to...

Greetings! Do any of my Canadian brothers know if the Gryph Group is still around? We haven't had contact with them for some time and their website doesn't appear to be available. Looking for some Vista sign pieces, and I know I can order direct but it's much easier dealing with Canadian...

For you router heads out there - I just wanted to give a shout out for Fred at Centurion Tools. Even though we're in Canada, Fred's service has always been fast and efficient, and their router bits are very good. Highly recommended!

Any ideas on this one? (Sorry for poor quality image) The interesting bit is the lack of foot on the 'a' and the lack of upright on the 'p'. Thanks in advance, Graham

Greetings! Ok, I admit it -I'm a big Corel fan. I find CorelDraw is easy, flexible and powerful. Illustrator on the other hand is my nemesis - I find everything counter-intuitive and a real struggle. But for the wide variety of files that customers bring in, I need to use Illy on occasion. I...

Greetings, If, like us, you're still running older versions of Coreldraw or other software, you may occasionally receive a cusotmer's pdf file that is in a newer version than you can open. If you download and install the free Foxit PDF Reader, you can open the pdf and then go to File -> Print...

Greetings, Does anyone have color reference for the current New Holland blue? Thanks in advance,
