  1. CorelDraw X3 Graphics Suite - crashing after loading it on Windows 7 Pro Computer

    hmmm...not sure I can help, but i've been using x3 with windows 7 pro for a couple years with no problems. However I don't have any adobe programs installed, other than reader. When you installed x3...did you also install all the updates? I remember the crashes and the ARM messages..but I...
  2. Brand New Blade "Tearing" Vinyl?

    It is also possible your blade holder is dirty or worn out. The blade should freely spin in the holder, and not have any side play. Since 1994, I have had to replace one blade holder in a well used machine. Also check the cutting strip under the blade. If it gets a groove in it (usually from too...

    It looks like a modified version of Spaceport. On this page > > > http://www.houseind.com/fonts/house3009/viewfonts
  4. need a work around for painting on coroplast

    Krylon fusion in spray cans would work
  5. Create Contour Cut

    if it was a vector, it would be easy. best way is to use the bezier pen tool....and trace a line around it.
  6. Big Squeegee....ordered

    No, I haven't tried granger...but it's one of the three reduction gears in the gearbox, not one of the chain driven gears. Might be doable, but don't have any calipers to take measurements. This is pretty much what it looks like....except mine is missing about four teeth. Three gears all...
  7. Big Squeegee....ordered

    I've been wanting to try a Sig Squeegee for a while. The Daige laminator I bought new in 03 broke some teeth off a gear today. I think the sled hit the edge of the exit ramp coming out of the rollers and before I realised it, the machine popped and the rollers stopped turning. Sent off an email...
  8. Working outdoors in enclosed tent?

    I bought this one last year to store my lawn mowers, etc.. instead of using tarps. > > > http://www.harborfreight.com/10-ft-x-17-ft-portable-garage-69039.html Not really a quick up and down tent though. I painted a garden tractor in it last winter, and the cold temps outside would make it rain...
  9. No wet application for Reflective vinyl...why?

    can you do it with a laminator?
  10. Korographics

    never printed on it, so really don't know, but sometimes the machine pulling on a heavy roll can cause this with banner material, etc... might try unrolling some for slack.
  11. how do you convert fs, files to ve lxi file?

    My VE LXI 6.6v1 Master software is Flexi. She may have sent too new a version for you to open?
  12. A tip to remember...................................

    My old boss was really proud of the model T he bought just before the big parade in town. He put one of his new parade magnets against the door...let go...and it fell to the ground. This is how he found out the car was a fiberglass reproduction.
  13. Results: Banner install on semi trailer

    I think the trailer will just be parked somewhere for advertisment, and they won't be driving cross country with it ?
  14. Laminators

    I have had the Daige for 7-8 years...and it's done ok, but, Mine has a tension knob on each side with no settings for roller pressure, takes some getting used to. Hopefully they changed it, but mine has the geared take-up and toothed belt, which never really worked, so I roll up the paper by...
  15. Need Advise on following Aqueous Rolls

    I went through this several years ago with an encad printer. The dye inks won't last sometimes a month outside. Pigmented inks and the correct vinyl and laminate can last quite a while. I tried several vinyls, and without laminate the coating and print would start flaking off. Forget which...
  16. Retro Logo Design

    Looks great Joe! There was a Filling Station a few miles from here...they used the red Texaco looking pegasus in their artwork.
  17. Tradeshow Graphic Panels Help

    Never used this material...but have noticed something similar when printing on full heavy rolls of banner material. Unrolling the material behind the printer lets it feed more easily and less skew of the print, instead of the printer having to pull on a full roll.
  18. Wrap shrinking or pulling back from seams

    This may not apply in this case, but I have turned a couple of customers away after they tell me they had their new vehicle cleared with a teflon clear coat. My next door neighbor just bought a new truck and had this or a similar clear coat applied.
  19. ORACAL 970RA - Clear cote coming of the car after 3 years

    I think about every auto brand has had paint problems in the past. Bought a new dodge dakota in 2003, and the clear started coming off at thirty thousand miles. Did a search on the internet and found out there were two years there where they had the problem, but dodge wouldn't do anything about...
  20. Trick to layering colored vinyl, or need different machine?

    Applying vinyl that's already layered in the shop will usually leave bubbles at the layers during the install, although they will probably go away after a day or so. Would much rather layer on the substate or vehicle so this doesn't happen. I usually lay the bottom layer dry, and use wet...
