    cutting lines across the design

    Here are my few cents worth for Corel users. my system woke up on the wrong side of the motherboard yesterday and ruined alot of vinyl by cutting a line through the finished design. The fix was to "convert to curves" and then send to signcut via the application launcher. i was able to recut the entire file 4 additional times with no problems. corel 12, 12" cutter and signcut2x

    reflective vinyl

    i had a brief e-mail contact this week with Chuck Bules, from Arlon's North Americal Commercial Division regarding the application of Arlon reflective vinyl series 2400. According to Chuck this vinyl can be applied wet or dry. He also states that only a good quality wetting agent such as rapid tac II should be used. if performing a dry application he suggests a felt squeegie be used instead of hard plastic as this will eliminate the potential for air bubbles. As i expected he prefers a dry application. using his advice has greatly improved the quality of my work. thanks to Arlon and Chuck for responding to my information requests.pictures to follow next week when i'm finished. just FYI for when you get around to doing some reflective vinyl. take care, Daniel t

    latest job

    FROGG the newbie you da guy! congrats!!!!!!! you are the winner! $39.00 short of my actual bid for the 2 vehicle job. I will send your other e mail a message regarding your winning. i cut this job with a refine 24" cutter except for the red stripe which was cut with a 6ft straight edge. on the first rig i even cut the 1/4in pinstripe on my refine. each side had different doors , positions and sizes. careful measuring, a soft squeegie and lots of pateints made this a great job. i did screw up during the cutting of one side stripe. i left the cutter unasttended and came back to find 200.00 dollars of reflective vinyl on the floor and jammed up in the cutter, completely ruined. i'd love to do another again . take care, daniel t

    What type of vinyl to use on vinyl tire covers??

    i agree with firemalt. you will never be disapointed using a good, quality material. however if you decide to screen them use a second screen and gang up all of the names that you need,a little extra tape and time will get the job done. have a good weekend, daniel t

    first sign questions

    Make your sign as a banner. No frame, no wood, just a couple posts. make it a digitally printed banner with your department's vehicles in the background and some firefighters in turnout gear wearing monster makup. apply the "date" information by hand and you can remove it afterward so that it is ready for the following year. daniel t
