    backlit sign help

    I'm doin my first backlit sign. the customer's wanting to stick to a pretty tight budget so he asked if we could just use flourescent lights from home depot or lowes or smthn. it's a 3 foot by 16 foot sign. my question is, would 4 8ft flourescent lights be enough to aluminate it. im using 1/8in white acrylic for the sign. any advice or ideas would be greatly appreciated. thanks, taylor

  5. I GOT A JOB DOING SOME TRAILERS FOR A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY ONE OF MY DAD'S FRIENDS OWNS. THE DESIGN FEATURES 6 PHOTOS OF HOUSES, ROOMS, ETC. I HAVE A ROLAND COLOR CAM PC 600 BUT I DON'T THINK THE RIBBON CARTRIDGES WOULD DO A VERY GOOD JOB ON AN ACTUAL PHOTO. I WOULD NEED 2 SETS OF SIX PHOTOS MEASURING ROUGHLY 12"X 18" (12 PHOTOS IN ALL) AND 4 SETS OF THE SAME PHOTOS MEASURING ROUGHLY 8"X 12" (24 PHOTOS IN ALL) ANY SUGGESTIONS? THANKS

  9. i recently purchassed a roland colorcamm pc600. it cuts great, but when i try to print it starts beeping and flashing the setup and catridge lights. and when i do get it to print, it won't contour cut. it is set to print and contour so i'm not sure what's goin on. i'm only 19 and don't have a ton of money to take and have it fixed so i was gonna make sure it wasn't something simple. any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks i would also appreciate a couple of suggestions on good sites to download free vector images. thanks

    help?

    i'm about to get started in the graphics buisiness. i'm 19 and i've been racing my entire life so that will be my main market. i'm on a $5,000 +- budget so i'm trying to get the most bang for my buck. i've worked up a package within my spending limits that includes a 48" copam series cutter. i plan on using coreldraw software and that's what one of my questions is about. are the "ultimate flames", "vehicle tribal", and "vector drawing programs" found on the us cutter site compatible with the coreldraw software? also, my total $ in cutter equip and start up vinyl is about $3,800 which leaves $1,200 i can spend without having to borrow. i need advice on which computer would be best suited for this kind of work. I would really like to use a laptop with a wireless mouse, so i could take it to the track and show people some samples of their car or take it to someones shop and work with them to get exactly what they want the first time. will a laptop support all the software and saved draftswithout losing performance? i plan on expanding as much as the economy will allow when the time comes so i'll need a little bit of over kill i guess. maybe for screen printing later on. any advice or suggestions on the copam cutter, software, computer, or just cutting in general would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

    help?

    thanks to both of you. i've always loved coming up with designs and graphics. i almost die every time i have to go to someone and get vinyl cut for one of my race cars, so i figured it was time to try and turn my passion into a revenue source. i'm not gonna quit my day job just yet, but hopefully i can get it figured out to where i won't need a day job anymore. not tryin to get rich, just wanna provide top quality, original work to the racers in my area at a fair price. do ppl right and there's no telling how big it could get. i'll look into the flexi. what does the corel do that the flexi doesn't? again, thank you for your advice
