    September 4, 2005 at 8:09 am in reply to: Need some software help

    Hi Ed

    copy the line for as many colours you have ( so for that logo 3 lines and 3colours) and change the colours to suit, and stack them on top of each other ( in Signlab u can tell the copy wher eto go ie: in the same place).

    when u cut your colours now you will have the lines as well in teh right colours, then when u lay up all you have to do is align them on top of each other and it’s sorted.

    What i do sometimes is make the lines into a L shape in 2 oposing corners so you can line up a bit easier.

    Hope you understand my ramblings.

    Well surely if they order on line, they must have their postal details and name etc?

    just print that off and keep it in your folder thats what i do.

    also on your site have a disclaimer that is on teh ordering page, so when they order it says something along the lines of ” i have read and understand the T&C”

    I just snap mine off and into the bin. Then that goes into the main bin outside which is picked up by a the bin collecting machine.

    or to quote McRod

    “Place hand on wheelie bin lid, lift in a vertically upward direction, Snap off blade into aperture created by the vertical lift on the lid. ”
