  1. How do you hang your sintra prints?

    I've got a job coming up where I'll be mounting prints to sintra and the client will be displaying them around the office. I'm not a fan of double sided foam tape as it basically destroys the drywall and leaves behind one hell of a mess. I thought I had found a solution. I believe it's called...
  2. Can I print from Power Point?

    Yes, I know Power Point is not the best program for design but in this case, it's the only thing that is available. Long story short, this company has a German exchange student designing a bunch of stuff for them and all he has is power point. (It's to bad because he's actually a pretty good...

  5. New plotter and software pros n cons

  6. New plotter. Need some input

    Am I in the right section? Long story short, the 10 yr old pc that runs my plotter has finally died. Need to replace it but started thinking it may be better to upgrade my entire cutting system. I currently have a 30" Graphtec fc5100-75. I'm thinking I may be better off trading or selling...
  7. Wrapping a sphere?

    Not sure if this is the right section but.... I'm pretty sure that I saw on here some time ago that somebody had wrapped a sphere with vinyl. My first thought is to cut the vinyl like the pieces of a basket ball or even a baseball. The question is, is there a formula for figuring out how to...
  8. Corrupt file in Versaworks

    every now and than Versaworks won't let me open jpeg files. Gives me a "corrupt file" error. It's easily fixed be resaving in a different format but that can be a pain sometimes, especially when dealing with multiple files. I've done some research and I see that other people have this problem...

  11. what happened to my marching ants?

    Ok, so I installed Versaworks on a new pc running Windows 7. Ran a bunch of posters yesterday and and everything went well. Tried to do a print/cut today and noticed that my little marching ants are missing. I double checked the file just to be sure the cutline is set up properly and resent...

  15. Cancelation/return policy

    We're in the process of getting set up to take credit and debit cards. We've got just about everything in place except one thing. The company we're dealing want to know what our Cancelation/return policy is. In all honesty, we do not have a policy in place. Besides, we've never had anyone...
  16. More fun with Copyright curveball

    I have an artist that wants to do this. Take an image of a very old (public domain) painting. Blow it up and print it on canvas. He then plans to paint over the image and will apply his own "artistic" twist on things. I know the photographer of the image owns the copyright however in this...

  19. Any Illy CS5 gurus out there? 911 emergency.

    I have a client supplied image that I need to break up into individual panels for mounting purposes. The image is scaled down - forgive my terrible math but I think it's scaled to 10%. Anyhoo, I've made my clipping mask 5.8"x4.95" and save as an eps. The final size of the tile needs to be...
  20. New Macbook Pro out today

    As the title suggests, the new Macbook Pro was released today. Some cool new features. My old macbook has been very good to me but it's got a lot miles on it so it's starting to get fussy. It doesn't help that I've dropped it few times too. Just ordered me a brand spankin' new 15 inch...
