What is a recommended LEST tack amount or adhereing to substrate, meaning what product is lest sticking to substrate but will still hold my vinyl as a whole and once applied to a substrate surface will pull away with least amount of pull and still apply my vinyl to the surface of substrate....Did yall get that....I ask as I am trying something completely out of the normal think or "BOX" .... Any help is always appreciated, and if I can get this going I will share it with yall, some may laugh, others may say DAM-I didn't see that comin...

    A sign for Dakotagrafx

    I had my rotary cuff surgery in 04, april 1st...Don't say it,....They took meat and bone from left shoulder/arm, I used to wet half my frame and try to wash with 1 hand and arm, sleeping in a sling was not fun, took me 1 yr to teach myself how to feed my pants belt around through loops, did phy rehab, hurt more than it did any good, 2 weeks ago I think I ripped it again as it sends a hell of a hurt if I turn my arm wrong, ....Any how, hope you get ta feeling better, know the discomfort, been there, don't feel like doin it again.....Have a good one if you can...

    Why didnt you guys tell me this!

    Oh...I am running 16gig on-brd mem but I forget what the LP II has on brd for mem...
  13. petroman2012

    Why didnt you guys tell me this!

    I have had a similar issue with my LPII but my issue was 1 LARGE memory hog image everytime, it cuts and stops part of the way through..ticked me off, scale it down and it would work ok, BUT I also found if I run SCALP and start a project and decide to skip that one and START a new project it would cut and stop near end of job for some reason, found if I make a mistake and start a new project I better close the app and reload SCALP as some reason it doesn't clear from its virtual mem holding god knows how much of my memory hung up on the previous project to where I have to remember to close and reload the SCALP, don't know why it wont dump its grasp of memory but that's the only thing I have come up.....

    Corel draw student edition

    I was using the Corel x6 student till I upgraded it to full-package, "how's it working" Its an application I was using but slowed down on vinyl but as a whole you cant go wroing, I used DRAW along with SCALP and along with VECTOR magic as I like its "capture" application then go to DRAW and bring it up and save it as vector after cleaning whatever I was doing, I have used the many type faces in some project, no signs mind you, strickly wall art and stupid things to test the capabilities on the long run...Well worth the money by any means..I like Illustrator as a useful tool but Corel tends to feel more user friendly but like all apps each has its qwerks..

    Warranty?

    I have had to replace 1 customer on an ETSY sale of wall art, where 1 is a fluke as in any of my work placements I state that I NEED to know what kind of wall surface, what color, whether glass, metal, or plastic surface as I ended up cutting and refunding as I wont argue with them cause they cant read, of course this isnt SIGN's but wall art and I have to adhere to a GUARRANTEE that it wont drop off once they jury-rig it, I warn that some surface adherement is questionable when I can get all info and even with that I am not there to see or feel the surface that they want to pretty-up to their taste, again I ask that THEY READ and be kind enought to fill in blanks as I will decline if I cant get a straight answer, I GAVE 2 cuttings and a 20.00 refund and still am unsure they knew what they were doing as again its their word that I have to base on...
