Overcut and offset stops it happening for me.

hi guys this is what I want to do, I am designing a sign for my shop and want to equally place LED's inside the letters.. a bit like a theater sign but smaller. knowing how good you guys are could some kind person tell me how to cut lot of holes in the text that are equally placed and 3mm diameter. Would this be with an overlay ? A bit like the image but with more holes, many thanks Richard

hiya Yes, I see little point in having it done for me I would like to learn how to do these things in corel :-) I don't get much time to play around but when i do I always seen to want to stuff beyond my ability heheh.. BTW. I don't do this for a living but do make the signs for my shop and van etcc..

hiya Thanks in advance for your time, i love this forum. I may change the sign yet so would like to know how to do this with any font :-) Kind regards Richard front door2.ai

hey guys i'm trying to find gelato font or failing that one that is similar,, the trouble is it only for one job and gelato is £60 which would wipe out the profit :-( thanks guys you rock . Rich BTW just found out drag n drop works for images in posts heheh

many thanks E.L i appreciate your time, my problem is the cost of the fonts. I do very little cutting and can't really justify $60 for one font when I might only use it one time.

hiya I am very much an amature, and am wondering if there is a way to make a freshly printed T shirt look vintage ? I know you can do it with the artwork if you print direct to T's but I use vinyl and heat press it on.. Regards Rich

hiya thanks for the replies and the link, interesting but not quite what I am looking for . I am thinking of something more like the attachment, could i use sand paper on the vinyl before pressing ? Rich

hiya guys n gals, would someone be so kind as to id a font for me ? the closest i can get is a Berlin font You guys on here always come up trumps, You rock !!! Thank you for you help in advance Richard UK

thanks dude, i appreciate you spending the time Rich

Woohoo I think I have it, it's Adventure.ttf thanks guys, i love this site. Rich

Hiya thank you HiDef not really it I dont think ? I found another really really close which is sf Comic strip Condenced although its not perfect it may have to do. thank you Richard

hiya please could some kind soul check this for me as it's driving me nuts AHHH!!! I have looked over the wireframe and cant find anything wrong, in Corel x4 the wireframe looks good but when I save the file and then import into Signlab a line appears from one side to the other side which then gets cut. I have circled where the odd line appears in signlab but as you can see there isn't one in corel. Could it be a white line or transparent ? kind regards Rich complete BW logo error.ai

Thank you very much Mz SKEETER it opens in signlab fine now, any ideas why I couldn't see them in corel ? i spent ages looking for lines there . Thanks again Rich

wow thanks dude, that will work fine if i squash it a little thank you for your help I really appreciate it. Rich

hiya I think i know what font is used in this graphic but i can't find it without paying $30 for one font :-( could some kind soul help ? I think its this font 'Pragmatica Ext ExtraBold Oblique' kind regards Rich

many many thanks for doing that for me , you are a gentleman Rich

hiya guys Would some kind soul help me out here. I keep trying the trace in corel 4 and it just doesn't do a very nice job . it never seems to finish the edges off too well and it surely must be me at fault because you guys do seamless work. heres the logo, i only need the fish with the letters inside. i have a photo too, i hope the link works http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h69/cascars/IMG_1351-1.jpg you guys rock ! regards Richard, UK

hiya guys Could I beg some very kind person to vectorise this Quicksilver logo It is for my boat but i'm still rubbish at doing this :-( there is one on brands of the World that would be ok but i downloaded it several times and my Corel x4 won't open it for some reason ? TIA for your kind assistance Regards Richard,UK

cool , thanks for that . I have inkscape but I don't really use it my brain can't handle too much information. I'm like Homer Simpson i have to lose some information in my brain to make space for new stuff hehehe thanks again, i'll post my results . regards Rich

hiya Thanks Jay, i really appreciate your help. I got a couple of logos from BOTW and for some reason they are all 26kb ? must be my puter doing odd stuff. the BOTW logo is a bit messy like my tracing so a trace of mine would still be grand :-) For some reason I can do the trace in x4 but straight lines are always wobbly ? is it just me or do vectors always need hours spent on them cleaning them up ? this is as far as i can get.. quicksilver.ai quicksilver.ai

hi guys I know how to layer and I have cut registration marks on both layers, The problem I have is trying to locate a red top layer onto a white back layer, i have trouble seeing the white registration mark accurately to line up the top layer. Is there a trick to this or is it just a PIA ? Also whats easiest shape reg mark to use, i'm using triangles ? Regards Richard, UK

nahhhh thats too easy heheheh thanks for that, i really appreciate it. I was doing it on my kitchen table under average lighting but I can see the window working gooood Thanks Dude Richard.

hiya Please signmakers collective.. I have 1 very small job and i'm making less than the font would cost. How can I get Windsor ultra heavy ? or even just the letters i need in corel format ? or Ai the words are HUNTER and SEAHOG Regards Richard from the UK
