  2. What would cause vinyl discoloration like this?

  3. Large vinyl murals on foam core advice

    They make textured wall wrap material. You can apply it to stucco, cinder block etc. Squeegee on then use a heat press apparatus to work it into the "grooves" or "pits" and such. We've done this to several outside walls of buildings.
  4. Corel Designer, Why is it not more popular, What am I missing

    Company hires you with absolutely no experience and pays your way to Design School. There you go thru an 11 week course. Two days are spent with Mac's and illustrator. Rest is color theory, drawing with pencils and crayons etc.. You complete the training and get assigned to mars (don't want to...
  5. What's the perfect resolution for a larger poster print?

    Exactly. That's why you want to use pdf. Vectors are preserved. I'd like to add another point here. Let your RIP do the resampling. i.e. No need to resample your images in your working file. Just do the layout with whatever image was given. Unless the image is of poor quality to begin with. If...

  8. Question die cutting stickers

    Two cuts. 1. First regular cut 2. Then use a second 1/4" outer offset contour to half cut/perf cut Double the time though. And you have to weed out that edge that's left. I find it easier to "pluck" them out as it hangs off the printer. As long as the plotter is cutting across the sheet and...

  10. CorelDRAW - Version Upgrades Going Bye Bye, Subscription-Only Soon

    Uhhh. Corel is way easier to customize than illustrator. You can do a ton more customizing too. Create your own toolbars, add/subtract tools, assign any key combo and save workspaces too. Want to delete a tool simply hold alt and drag the icon into the workspace. Tucks it away but you can put it...

  12. CorelDRAW - Version Upgrades Going Bye Bye, Subscription-Only Soon

    The way I see it. Under the "old" way. A one time purchase of Corel @ $450-500 = $500 for 5-7 years The new Subscription way. "develop" the new version in such a way as to make it the only viable option. $198p/yr x 5-7yr = $990 - $1386 Hmmm........call me old and set in my ways but I like...
  13. Does anybody have a vinyl slitter?

    I had our print/laminating tech walk me thru the process. It's not as user friendly as I thought. Seems you have to physically hold the apparatus in place braced against wherever you set the position of the roll bump stop.

    Ditto.. If at all possible leave a bit of white i.e. shape-cut vehicle graphics being applied to a white trailer.
