  1. Laminating Long Runs... Problems...

    I have a 62" laminator and when I try long runs and there are problems with the middle portion of the print/laminate it is usually because the laminator rollers are too tight and they are gripping too much on the left and right sides and not in the middle. Once I loosen up on the rollers so...

  5. Contour cut not read by Versaworks sometimes

    Will a drop shadow of a 75% black text box behind the main text cause the contour cut not to work in Versaworks? I thought it was the dark to light gradient coloring that I typically use that caused the issue, but it could also be the 50% or 75% color transparency that causes it? If I save the...
  6. Font ID

    Does anybody online recognize this font or know? Thanks in advance!
  7. Contour cut not read by Versaworks sometimes

    I have also had trouble getting the contour cut to work properly in Versaworks using an Adobe Illustrator .eps file. This usually occurs when my graphics have a gradient color in them. When this occurs, I save the editable illustrator layers into a .jpeg file and then place the .jpeg file into a...

  9. Arching A Logo

    Thank You! Just a design suggestion, I recommend changing the colors between tri state tuners and .com to make it more readable (it all runs together). Also, I recommend making the logo smaller to the lettering can sit higher on the windshield.
  10. Arching A Logo

    GMAN, Open the .eps file your customer gave you, save it as a .jpeg and upload it to Signs101 so we can see what type of logo you are trying to arch (click on the paperclip icon to upload the .jpeg file). If you are going to arch a logo across a windshield, you need to make sure the logo is...
  11. CS4 Illustrator Question

    Caleb, You were right before when you said to use the "compound path" function in CS4. This not only lets the gradient flow through from left to right across the text, but it also keeps the original text grouped when you add the stroke (offset path) and keeps the stroke text grouped once you...
  12. CS4 Illustrator Question

    Why is the "EXPAND" button grayed out in CS4 after doing the "ADD" function? In CS3 after doing the outlines, ungroup, "ADD", I would always hit the "EXPAND" button to allow the gradient to flow across all letters from left to right. Also, after doing the "EXPAND" in CS3, when I did the...
  13. CS4 Illustrator Question

    Maybe I am selecting the wrong button on the CS4 Pathfinder palette? My window only shows Shape Mode = "unite" which may be different? The button in the top right says "exclude". CS3 says "add"?
  14. CS4 Illustrator Question

    Mason, when I follow your instructions the front text and back text are grouped together. How do I get them to be separate groupings so I can easily change the colors on the text and outline?
  15. CS4 Illustrator Question

    Got it...thanks!!! Thanks for the input on the Object/Compound Path/Make functionality to replace the CS3 Pathfinder "Add to Shape Area" functionality.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> Now, I can: - type initial text (951 Graffix in Red) -...
  16. CS4 Illustrator Question

    Figured out the "compound path/make" function to let the gradient flow through. The only problem I still have is that when I "deselect" the text and "reselect" the back text it selects the front text (outline) with it so I can't change the colors. Then I have to "ungroup" and select each letter...
  17. CS4 Illustrator Question

    I upgraded from Adobe CS3 to CS4 and can't figure out how to get Illustrator to perform a function I commonly use (placing a gradient stroke behind text). Attached is a screenprint from CS3 and CS4 where I try to perform the following function: - type initial text (951 Graffix in Red) - change...

  19. Wrap Print Issue w/Oracal 3951

    Thank You! I used my cleaning solution and a swab and it removed the ink from the white lettering perfect. No need to re-print.:U Rock:
  20. Wrap Print Issue w/Oracal 3951

    I just printed a wrap for the left side of an F-150 and my material hit the ground, folded wet ink over wet ink (yikes...need a take-up reel), and left some unwanted ink in one of the white letters (see attached pic). Is there any way to take a swab and get the ink off the white letter? Thanks!
