Good Day all! I use Correl X3 installed on a Toshiba with Window's 7. I have been having problems while working in Correl. what happens (As best as I can describe it) is frequently when I select an image on my work space, the image or part of it disappears. I can shrink my screen and click off the image and it still doesn't reappear. The only way I can get it to show back up is to save my file, "x" out of the program, then open it back up. It may work again for a while, but again it will start messing up. Has anyone else had these problems or know what may be wrong? It takes precious time to deal with it! Thanks in advance all.

Hi all, I am looking for a distributor for the plastic (I think) bags with zippers that banks give out to businesses for bringing deposits to the bank. I am wanting to screen print on some. Thanks!

Sent you a msg.

Nope, not a detective. That is why I have three jobs to make ends meet! LOL.

LOL Stetson, GOOD EYES!! I think I will take your advice . I will be peeling those off tomorrow and installing the new ones soemtime this week. On another note, I hope your ocean front property is starting to dry out. Hope things get back to normal for you as soon as possible! I'm not sure if it is callendared or cast. MY first thought is Calenadared but not sure. It is not layered. The grey that you can see around the edges is the vinyl that has shrunk. IT is a printed design. Thanks all!

All I remember is it was installed just 5 months ago maybe. I am going to rule out clean surface as I watched it being installed. Im leaning to wrong vinly as these cars sit out in the weather extremes all the time. We did have -25 degrees and a pretty cold winter (colder than normal) and have already had a day over 100, but the damage was done prior to that.

Hi, I am fairly new to vinyl signage. We had a previous sign shop do the "POLICE" decal on our patrol cars. The decal was only on for months and has started to pull away from the car and get wrinkles in it that weren't there upon install. I have new ones coming on reflective material that I am sure will be much better than the non reflective. I have attached a couple pictures to see if anyone can identify what may have gone wrong with this. This is just for knowledge for me so I can know what and why. Thanks all for your input.

Hi, I have been doing vinyl for about a year now. So far just one color and layering. I have a job for the police department and they are wanting a pair of decals like attached. They measure 66" long and the "police" is 7.5" tall at a slight angle to the rear. I dont print and am looking for someone to print these for me. Do I need to design them and email to you or what is comon? Message me any questions or suggestions. I look forward to working with someone on this. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I had a request today that came as a referal to me. They have a cloth overhand on the front of their business it has white letters painted on a fabric. (they thought it was vinyl at first) How is the best way to over that up to put the new business name on it? I'm not sure wether repainting it to match the rest of the background (blue) or just what. Any suggestions would be great! thanks all

Hi All, I am working on a job now that entails making flags for a golf tournament. The tournament organizer is wanting to have custom flags on each green (as the hole markers.) They want them individualized stating who is sponsoring the hole. Where can I get blank flags to print the images on. Thanks in advance!

I had excaliburcreations do a vector of the above pic. They did an outstanding job. I am trying to cut it in SB and when I import the eps, there are two different sections to select to cut. I cant get it to cut right. I am self teaching myself and am stumped. Any suggestions? I am trying to figure out how to explain the problem I am having. Thanks!

Thanks Dakota. I sent them a msg and attached the image.

I am needing help vectorizing a badge that I am going to end up sand blasting onto mugs. I have Corel Draw4 and have vectorized a lot of designs, but this one is kicking my butt. Any help or suggestions? Thanks.

Thank you to all vetrans. If it wasn't for you all, we wouldn't have all we have today. I have many family members who serve and several who have given the ultimate. Currently have a brother preparing for round 4 in the sand and lost a brother. I am a 15 year policeman and counting. I see all to often the lack of respect others show to vetrans and people taking for granted what they have because of vetrans. I make it a point to go to the local middle school daily for the pledge of allegiance. I started this after I had heard several kids and even teachers have opted out of participating. Since I started, some staff has said several that had opted out have since started to join in. This makes me feel good. Thanks again!

How about etching on ceramic coffee cups. Has anyone tried that? If so, any pointers and how should they be finished as far as coating or painting? Thanks, Jeff
