  1. I'm doing a fleet of trucks for a produce company and they requested colorful fruit and produce. I want to avoid printing the fruit if possible, so I would really like to make them with multiple colors and layers. If anyone has anything to share, I would be greatful. If anyone has a picture of a similar job, I would appreciate a few ideas to start with.
  2. Does anyone have a simple vinyl installation instruction page that they would like to share. I know I can refer customers to You Tube for videos, but I wanted to print something that I could include in the box for customers to use when they apply RTA graphics.
  3. I'm doing two of these windows. Graphic size is 75" wide by 35" tall. Just curious what you would charge for both windows installed. Thanks in advance.
  4. I had two auctions on ebay and I cancelled my Auctiva account. The auction was almost over and I had three people buy a few items. All of them could not pay via PayPal because they couldn't get past the checkout since I canceled my account. I ended up sending my own invoice for the items, but one guy was pissed off and never paid. If you are doing a lot of volume I would be careful when you cancel the account. At least let the auctions listed run out before you cancel. Seems like the checkout system was tied to my Auctiva account and it didn't exist when the customer went to pay.

    2000 Chevy Express Template

    Unfortunately, I don't have Adobe Illustrator. Can someone convert these files to JPG or BMP so I can use them in Signblazer. Thanks in advance!
  6. I don't know what I did, but something is causing my cutter to shrink the size down. I cut a word that was supposed to be 8 inches high, but it was barely a 1/4" tall when I cut. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? What is causing this?
  7. Looking for Nintendo DS skin to cover my older DS. I've scratched mine up pretty bad and I want to cover it up to make it look nice again. I tried the gaming skins posted on here, but the EPS files won't import into Signblazer.

    Reflective Help

    I'm using 3M reflective and I can't figure out how to get the settings right so the corners of the letters won't get ruined. I'm finding the sharp corners are getting caught on the blade and basically breaking off a tiny piece of the corners because this stuff is so brittle. The pressure seems ok since the blade is cutting through. Not sure what is going on. I tried slow and fast speeds and the same thing is happening.

    Coroplast Signs

    Sorry for the slow response. I haven't check my post in a while. The sandwich and soup images were from a food font from dafont.com
  11. Just curious what you guys would charge for something like this. Three colors in a 12" by 4" size, ready to apply.
  12. Does anyone know where I can find the Registered Trademark symbol, the one with "R" with the circle around it?
  13. Perfect. Thanks Ken. Always a big help.

    Trouble with image

    I'm importing this image with Signblazer as and EPS that was originally created in Adobe Illustrator and it won't import the entire image. It cuts off the top half of the guys head. Any ideas why it looks fine as a PDF, AI, and EPS, but won't import all of the lines? I tried to node edit to see if there something else going on and it only let me edit the mouth. I think the customer grouped or locked something to cause this, but I don't have AI to check. Any ideas how I can get this image ready to cut.

    Looking for fruit & vegetables

    Andy, Do you know how I can take your file and make some of the fruit in two or three colors? Like make the strawberry red w/ a green leaf for example. I know the strawberry is already posted above, but I want to use some of the others with multiple colors. However, they are all one color when I try to change them.

    magnets

    This is what happens!! Enjoy!

    magnets

    "CRT" Cathode Ray Tube. Basically the same technology used in the older tube televisions. Unlike the newer flat screen monitors you see in the stores today, a magnet will really mess up the picture. This is why most of your home theater speakers are shielded so the magnets won't distort the picture. Place a magnet near an older tv or monitor and you can permanently damage the screen.

    first shot using cast vinyl

    Uscutter has really good prices on Oracal. $4 cheaper on the calendared and $10 on the cast. 24"x10yd rolls. Just wish it didn't take 3-4 days to receive it on the east coast. I pay a few dollars more, but I can get it the same day if I pick it up or the next day if I have it shipped.

    Car Magnet

    Great use of color. Did you cut the corners by hand?

    first shot using cast vinyl

    Pricing depends on where you buy from and what quality. Oracal 651 is $21 for a 24x10yd roll or Oracal 751 (cast) is $43 for the same size roll. UScutter sells vinyl for good prices. I live on the east coast so I buy somewhere else because the shipping takes longer than getting it locally. I used calendared on my car because it was what I had in stock. It's pretty good quality and cheap enough to change when I need to. Golden is my dog of choice, although we have a golden and a black lab. You can't go wrong with either. If my wife would let me, I'd have 4 or 5 goldens. Steve

    Looking for fruit & vegetables

    Excellent. Thanks a million. Bear, Do you know if you can edit the colors of the fonts in Dafont? For example, can I make an apple red and the leaf green, or do you only have one color choice?

    Here is a good comparison between cast and calendered vinyl. http://www.signindustry.com/vinyl/articles/2005-07-01-Avery-CastVsCalendered.php3

    Snow Plows?

    Looking for anything related to snow plowing. I already got the truck from a previous post (http://forum.uscutter.com/index.php/topic,9626.0.html) Looking for another variation of the truck w/ the plow.
