  1. Just upgraded from 12 to X3 - Corel

    Has anyone noticed that X3 is really slow compared to 12? I have problems opening almost every job. I have a pretty sick system too.. Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz 6GB Ram (3 utilized under XP) Quadro FX 570 Software, in my opinion is tuned as best as I can.. 12 opened files in less than...

  3. How do you do Push-Thru?

    Pushing plastic through another material (typically plastic through aluminum) you'd call that a "Push-Thru". It's very easy to do.. But, I use a method I think that can be simplified. I first pull up Flexi (typically my vector interface for 90% of jobs). I get my aluminum panel, and make a...

  4. Bank Scams.. Are you a victim?

    I feel like a news reporter right now, but last night something happened to me. I was with my brother going to pick up some Craigslist loot when I got a call from a weird number. Now, when people call the wrong number and end up dialing me, they get a funny answer or other comical response that...

    I am VERY new at digital printing, but we have had this printer for a couple years. Yesterday, the printer just stopped printing. Colors stopped coming out. We ran some nozzle cleaner through the lines and let them sit overnight to possibly clear the the paint. That didn't work. We now have a...

  8. Designers? Any competent ones out there?

    I work in a shop here in Washington. I swear, the designers don't know their way out of a cardboard box. Seems that they care about making everything "pretty" instead of functional. 2 of the 3 have been in the business for over 15 years each. One of them can draw a building and I can guarantee...

  9. Buying USED plotter equipment.. Your thoughts?

    I know that the BASIC user who has little to Zero experience with anything computer/vinyl related should stay away. BUT, here is my situation. Wife lost her job.. GOOD chunk of income lost. Luckily, we're not buying our home (yet) but instead, renting. So, the worse that will happen is we will...
