    SignCut Software Question

    Made the dongle transition about a year ago without issue on a system using XP. Perhaps the difference is my X2 subscription while near expiration, had not. Was content with X2, but due to the tenacity of Kimon (from whom I also purchased the dongle) finally went to Pro. If I remember correctly after uninstalling X2 there were still SignCut folders remaining in program files which were then manually deleted by me. Perhaps this had no influence on the ease of transition, however I wasn't willing to chance it, haven't looked back with regret yet.
  2. Had a workforce 30 set up with Cobra CIS untill last month when I made the most sensible decision to date regarding Epson based printers; as far as I know it now resides in the dump, no longer able to frustrate anyone....well except future generations that will have to deal with all that we dispose of today.
  3. Perhaps I've misunderstood and you are only doing this for friends..... If this is indeed a business venture for you; isn't that one of the reasons for your existance and another expected service you offer?

    Text to fit in Image - Corel Draw X3

    I've found on occasion my computer acts like it's overwhelmed when attempting to do what you describe and end up with similar results as you. I would describe this as the ADD syndrome, as it appears to have too many distractions from the design's other elements. Perhaps if you duplicate the design, crop out the elements not essential to the fitting of text. Insure the text is center formatted prior to attempting this and not too large for the path. Once it's in it's desired shape, you would then break it away and move it to the complete design.

    What step am I missing??

    Is your page size in Corel the same or smaller to the page size you have established in SB? Do you have the same issue, if you export/import the file as an EPS rather than SVG?
  6. If you know the UPC of the barcode you are trying to replicate, Corel has the tools to convert it.
  7. As the title says I want to try contour cutting water slide decals printed with pigmented ink. Looking for media and sealer suggestions. Is the sealer generally applied before or after application? Thanks....
  8. Certain I'm not the first to ask this, just can't find the right thread. As a rule of thumb, if I switch out a 45

    Sign Cut X2 freezing up

    Not sure I will have the answer you desire...but the first thing to come to my mind is to question the specs on your computer such as OS, processor, memory, and whether you currently have any other bridge software installed on the same computer or Signblazer for that matter?

    updating license...

    Probably not the answer you are looking for....you could purchase the dongle for Signcut.
  11. I've watched vinyl fabric rolls cut down while spooling to shorter center tubes using a powered knife akin to a meat slicing blade, left a very clean edge.
  12. I'm still trying to figure out what a restricted logo (circle R) is? Do you mean the REGISTERED

    Tarzan: What's the secret?

    I idolized Jungle Jim in the 60's until meeting Rory Calhoun* in person for autograph and realizing even at that young age he was a jerk. Sky King and Penny were certainly kool; but to me not nearly as much as the guys of Ripcord...whom I'm certain to this day I witnessed jump from a plane while attending Hershey Park in PA (circa 1962?) I mean who else could have had identical striped chutes...hey that's my story and I'm sticking to it. *But now I'm confused, cause Rory is not given credit on Wikipedia for any Jungle Jim appearances. I thought I remembered the role being shared by him and Johnny. Perhaps you can enlighten me.
  14. Do you suppose there is any risk of the wax lifting with the adhesive and transfering to the garment when pressed if using household wax paper?
  15. My first inclination would be to ask if you have updated windows or installed additional software during this time period?

    Campaign Signs

    Shouldn't the candidate or their representative paying for the sign already be aware of your rules and cognizant of this decision? In our state it is illegal to place political campaign signs within the right of way of any State or Federal Hwy. Yet in our area during the primary, the biggest offenders were the candidates for Sheriff.

    who here rides? bmw?

    You know with the BMW there is the added expensive of not only the matching helmet & saddlebags; but also a whole new BMW wardrobe to coordinate with the bike.....

    Uship.com

    If I understand the concept of Uship correctly; it is a just another brokerage service for the transportation of ltl commodities. They accept the load consignment, post it to a nationwide listing and then dispatchers for various smaller name firms and sometimes independents commit to that load or ltl. Again if I have this concept correct....Uship takes a substantial cut of the freight monies for brokering the load and these loads are often referred to as cut rate loads; which for some are better than running empty. Here's where the caveat to the system lays. Since so many people end up putting their fingers in the bowl; the timelines often become muddled if not just plain confused and Heaven forbid if you should receive the freight damaged, that experience will give new meaning to the word quagmire.

    laserpoint power supply

    See if either of the two images shown at http://www.vinylgrafixdesigns.com/laserpointteardown.htm help. They won't be there forever, so if they are useful you might want to copy them.
  20. I missed whatever clued you into believeing he didn't know how to use the machine........Sometimes that happens when I'm watching mystery themed shows on television also. What led you to conclude he doe not know how to use the machine...if indeed it were functioning as designed and had the blade holder?
  21. SignCut Productivity Pro with Dongle Build 1.07 WIN. Obviously with the Copam any alignment would need to be performed without a laser....however I thought I'd try it just for the experience. Have used a Dell laptop for several years now with AMD Sempron 3600+ and 1.3 GB ram with SignCut X2 and now Productivity Pro to run this Copam without any other unresolvable issue thus far. Just can't seem to figure this one out. What do you think? Is this an operator, laptop / software, or Copam issue?

    need something called clifford the dog

    Ahhh..yes, I'm reminded by the signs that I pass through Clifford's birthplace ten time a week; then again maybe that's Norman's birthplace.

    How to tell the wife?

    Your first mistake was hiding it in the basement. In my experience.....displaying an item on the dining room table for her to see when she comes through the door works best. I've found a properly timed statement of "Honey..look what I bought you" will also assist in sealing the deal. All relationships are obviously not created equal to apparently give others a goal to obtain.

    Thinking about opening a storefront, any thoughts?

    If the only real gain would be exposure by using this proposed location; aren't there more cost effective means of obtaining that same exposure?
  25. Are you attempting to run this on a computer with other cutting software installed?
