  1. All tapes have their up sides and down sides. As far as selling to an average customer or someone for retail sale or someone that is looking for the decal to look professional. I have found that i sell them to companies more often than the average person who wants a decal. Depending on the width of the decals sometimes i will use a combination of clear and paper so i don't waste the transfer tape (Meaning that i usually have a smaller width roll of paper tape). The next time that customer orders they usually request them to all be in clear tape. For myself i would prefer paper since it seems to work well on cars, walls, and any application as where a clear tape i have learned that it does not work well when applying decals to walls.

     

    Jeff.


  2. I have had that same problem before. I am not sure what causes it but i always also check the preview before i cut it. For me, it would always show it in the preview so i caught it beforehand most of the time. I hardly ever use the weeding frame anyway.


  3. Can anyone refer me to where the best place is to get this art? Preferably already in EPS format but JPEG or AI is fine as well.

     

    Please refer me to links to the best art for the money. I'm not looking to spend more than $80 if possible.

     

    Or PM me with further suggestions.


  4. I use both. Clear and paper both have their up sides and down sides.

     

    Up side to clear- Clear is very professional looking for business owners.

    Down side to clear- Most people complain that clear tape is a pain when applying the decal to a window. I've had multiple upon multiple complaints on this.

     

    Up side to paper t-tape- Works very well on any type of surface whether it be drywall or a glass window.

    Down side to paper t-tape- The paper tape makes it hard to see the decal and seems to roll up on the edges very easily. It also looks very unprofessional.

     

    My conclusion- Again, they both have their up sides and down sides but i believe that if you are applying the decal in the correct temperature it should work just tine no matter what.


  5. I used three different fonts... The large capital letters are Edwardian Script ITC, the cursive text is Tangerine and Phil 4:13 is Microsoft Uighur.

     

    Here's the file for the cross & dove:

     

    Thanks so much. You are awesome. I wish i could help you as much as you've helped me!


  6. It would look better if it wasn't vectorized.  Vectorizing text doesn't turn out very well with most fonts and you can see it in the

    picture.

     

    Elaborate? I don't ever have issues with the way text cuts whether i write it in inkscape and import it or if i design it in photoshop, it still comes out looking looking good.


  7. Why do you click bitmap, mode,  black and white, line drawing? 

    You can go straight to trace, low quality image, and its done.

     

     

    It's just a habbit since most of my stuff is in color when i import it to Corel. This also has nothing to do with my question. B)
