    I'm new here and all, and I'm all for a sense of community and helping others,  and I've been doing my own graphics etc., but I gotta agree with several comments here.  One of you guys could on the other hand quite possibly make a little bit of cash to start charging for your talents so when someone comes along and needs 10 logos vectorized, they'd realize pretty quick that it's better to learn to do it themselves vs. taking advantage of someone elses time and money.

    Someone in another thread mentioned all the "new" folks that are getting into the business and getting out of the business as a result.    Sorry TriState, but with requests like this, they've got nothing to worry about.  If you want to survive, you need to learn the tools of the trade.

    Cool man.  You have a gold single.  Where you at one time a one hit wonder?  :thumbsup::):D

    I'm kidding.  I like the color scheme goin on there.  My wife would have my balls if I did that to a room.  I'm envious.

    No worries, my wife keeps my balls in a jar on the fireplace mantle, I'd just go ahead and do it if I were you seeing as how she already owns them.  :)

    On cutting the USB cable, not a good idea.  Maximum length is rated to around 5 meters or so. You'll actually have to get a powered USB cable to extend the cable that far.  You can do it with powered USB hubs as well, but for 60' you're looking at a 3 or 4 powered USB hubs along the route.   

    You're almost better off putting a second PC out where your cutter is and runnning ethernet to network the two together and share files.

    I like both of those!  We have a place on a channel that spans two lakes and I've resorted to buying cheapy airhorns and letting them off when someone is going to fast through the channel just because I'm tired of yelling at folks.  :)

    So lemme ask a basic "dumb" question that I'm sure others are wondering as well.

    When you're cutting to that fine of a level, under .5", is it safe to assume that the weeding on those isn't exactly a clean rip of the unused material and you're spending at least "some" time actually very carefully pulling up the material?

    I have tried to do some vinyls using two colours but it didn't work out too well, i used registration marks but the problem i had was the fact i was using paper application tape so i couldn't see the registration marks lol, but i am going to order some clear and try it again

    I had this same exact issue last night.  I did do the packing-tape trick, but have already gone and ordered a roll of clear just to be safe.  Figure I'll use the paper app tape for single color and keep the clear for multi-color applications.

    Potential client has the entire house wallpapered floor to ceiling and wants to know if vinyl can be applied safely to wallpaper.  I've no idea.  I'd go with Oracal 631, but I've not idea if a.) it will stick and b.) it can be removed.

    Anybody have any experience or ideas?  If it were up to me, I'd tell her to get rid of the wallpaper, but alas, she'd probably give me the boot as well.
