Hello and many thanks for your reply do you mean the Impact outline disks? if so i dont have any on mine but it is an older version.Motocross use only a certain amount of fonts for their numbers but i cant find which ones they use so i was hoping i could get a disk with loads of fonts on to see if i could find anything close
many thanks

Im not exactly sure what you need to do in corel draw but i may be wrong are you trying to merge photos together so you can print onto vinyl so you can put on a controller if you are then look at this video http://www.coreldrawtips.com/site/merging-photographs
if not so sorry -
It is water based yes ,to be honest i wouldnt trust myself to do it dry.
The size i did was 660 x 1300 so it went on quite fast the marks only appeared about three to four hours later.But the last lot i fitted it was still marked two to three weeks later -

Sorry ive not made myself very clear what ive done is downloaded the name fender as an AI file from botw then once ive downloaded it to my pc i tried to import it in to Corel draw as i dont have illustrator and a message box comes up with the following
The file you are trying to import is compressed.To import the file,you need to resave it without compression.
Now i cant resave because in need illustrator to do that.So this is why i was asking if there was a way i could change the file extention somehow to a CDR extention so i can open in Corel draw. -
A good friend of mine had this very problem but he was using a dodgy copy of signlab everything else worked untill he tried to cut .I dont use this software myself but dont you need a dongle for signlab.Sorry in advance if im barking up the wrong tree
oops: 😳 -
Ive used a few of the disks in question they give fantastic looking and pro results but do take quite a while to burn on to the disk though ,if your only doing a handful then this is the way to go also the disks do cost a fair bit more but as i said they look the part
-
Many thanks for that .Im trying to trawl through 12000 plus fonts by hand deleting them individually hoping that they are not windows fonts so when i restart my pc that it starts without any problems because i have deleted the wrong fonts many thanks for your help

i just thought if everyone was showing their work space then here`s mine .Its not as big as i would like and my printer has to be angled slightly ..well to vertical really but hey my vinyl doesn`t track off so thats a blessing .Rent is cheap and because of it`s compact bespoke design it doesn`t need much in the way of cleaning or maintenance so i think im on a winner here.Hope you all enjoy and are all jealous [/img]

-
Many thanks for all input i really want to try this myself.Ive done a few trays and had quite a bit of success so the next step is this one and what a good project to try .Merry christmas to you all

Hugh are you having an extra hour in bed then
-
I have also had people ring me up at stupid times but i just leave it till a stupid time at night then ring them back just to see what they want but its not worth being nasty to people because one day you just might get a job out of it.
-
Stuart what have you started here ????? (chat.)
-
I have to agree with Peter its only sign makers that will look more closely than the customer.The customer will look at it once then probably never again ,money is better in your pocket than someone elses.
-
Sorry Peter no i have the picture what i needed to know is the picture on the guitar was it cut from the vector file as normal or was the union jack vector image twisted or manipulated in any way if you understand what i mean? 😳
-

Many thanks for the info ,also may i ask is it possible to cut the vinyl but dont weed it then use the application tape to apply dry then weed once on the glass or is this a long winded way to do it
-

Where would i get this impacts graphics disk from please as i am interested in that.thanks
-
Adam many thanks this is just what i needed

Peter your blob on well done ,what i have been doing is importing then dragging to the a4 size so when i come to cut /plot the lettering its the wrong size.what i do now in x4 is import the eps file and just click on the desktop without dragging then i reduce the size of the mage with the magnifying glass to a size so i can see all the car outline,then put on my text on the car outline and it should show you the size of the lettering in the box at the top of x4.when i use cut/plot with my Graphtec CE5000 ,copy this size into the cutter.I have to copy the size of the lettering size because when i use the cut/plot on my Ce5000 it comes up as a differtent size but this i will have to sort out at a later date.Many thanks to you all but Peter is the star teacher thankyou

Peter your right i do have all those files i have tried opening and importing the cdl files into corel x3 and x4 but i get an error message saying that this file cannot be opened and use the import option which i do and this also doesnt open.I can only open eps or the ai files which when opened they are only the size of a4.Im using windows xp with corel draw x3 and x4 .thanks
-
i have the graphtec ce5000.you said use the full scaled images but on the disk there is only one type of image which is an eps,so how would i choose them full scale.Thanks for the reply.
