lol! I don't use borders or weed lines with only one exception. If I'm doing something really intricate, like 1 inch tall or smaller lettering, and/or scriptish types of fonts that are small, I'll do a center weed line from within corel (line through the center of text, then knockout the line...

I print on standard, with 3651, 900 for speed. Didn't get a chance to print slower today, was a busy day of doing graphics and couldn't spend time playing with settings. Maybe tomorrow... Chris

Hehehe! That was funny! I just explained it a bit better, that's all. Pictures always help! And I'm glad I solved the problem for ya in 3½ hours, sure wish I could have done that for myself rather than the 3½ weeks I took to figure that one out! Chris

Nope, that's not it either Darlak! I design AND PRINT in CMYK all the time with my XC540, they are still grainy! Color profiling has been disabled since I got the machine, no difference. Its always a bit more grainy whenever I have K in the image, but that's because its a prominent ink. I've...

I bet this is what's happening. When you combine the centers in the image (see attachment 1), they go away, right? You want it like attachment 2, correct? Select the nodes for the centers, reverse curve direction (its a node editing tool if you have node editing toolbar at the top of your...

Corel X3 with Roland Cutstudio for our CX300, and Versaworks for our XC540.

Ya know, after re-reading this, I've had the same issue with Alien Skin plugins running out of memory. Not my machine, I've got 4gb mem (showing as 3.25gb in win sp2), and a C2D 2.66ghz machine. Nothing running on the machine but that (about 16 processes). It will give me a mem error with large...

Ya know, I think I have a WD1200 layin' around at the shop! If you don't find one locally or on fleabay, PM me on Monday and I'll check to see what it is for ya. I'm pretty sure nothing is on the drive now (have probably 10 or more drives stacked up in the back of the shop, maybe one will work)...

Just got into the office, and in X3, there's no sort of 3D tool for text or art unless you convert to a bitmap and use the 3D effects. I'm wondering if you're not trying to cut a bitmap, somehow with the original text beneath it or embedded as a group?

probably some sort of control curve or an item grouped or locked to the text. When you select it, what does it say that item is at the bottom of the screen? Should say text on layer one, with the name of the font, if you want to convert it to curves. Once its selected, try CTRL+K to break the...

heh, ain't that the truth! Used that one last year on signs for a mormon family, they ended up having me do a bunch more for all their friends from church! Chris

I bet your network is running at 10mbps, not 100! A 93meg file is quite tiny for a wrap, our files sometimes exceed 600 megs per side (mainly on boats), we never have it slow down or pause. On top of that, I almost always use the rip while printing feature, and still no problems. Check your...

Not sure if you can, I assume so though. As for ours, I believe the rollers were warped or pressing down much more than it should have been, as the new machine will do the same thing as the old one if I cranked down the tensioners. We could never get it to ride up enough to let the lam and vinyl...

What the hell? Am I the only idiot--errr, sign shop, who owns a DingBat? Well, guess I'll give some feedback on it then... Initially bought the top-o-the-line DingTec with all the fancy-dancy takeup reels, it couldn't laminate plywood if its life depended on it! Dumped it for the cheapo...

Raid 0+1 for redundancy and speed! Gonna try this within the next few weeks on a C2D and 3 500gb drives-that is, if I ever get a chance to breathe!!! Stupid Fridays and the 20 jobs that I'm behind on!!!!! Back to finishing my lunch and getting a few more jobs out... Chris

same here, 100dpi for wraps is what I use. For small detailed work, such as 6" decals, I'll go 300dpi, but its sorta overkill. Chris

I'm assuming its already vectorized art. Same thing Woolly said, select each separate color and cut separately. If I'm doing the job continually, I'll save each color as its own corel file so I can cut without going through the hassle of selecting each time. Sure wish I could still use the old...

Heh! Didn't actually bother to try the link, been kinda busy lately and not paying attention! I still think its worth whatever it costs, Streamline does a good job getting it to a point where I can edit nodes in Corel. I actually had a job doing that for 2 years! All I did was convert raster...

On screen our actual output? How's about some info on what you see these lines being jagged in...

WTF!!??!!??!! Streamline is now free? Hell! I had to pay for that (about 15 years ago, but that's besides the point!) and I'm not happy! Adobe better gimme my money back now!!! Seriously, Streamline, albeit as old as dirt, still works fine and does an excellent job in tracing stuff. I probably...
