[Paul Goodwin]

I looked on brands of the world but no luck sorry

[Paul Goodwin]

Don’t use the jig to line it up with. do that by eye with the blank on top, use a liitle bit of pressure first to juust lay the acetate onto the blank, then once on right run through again with more pressure.

trim up all done.

i found the jig itself pulled the plates through skewif if u havn’t got the pressures bang on, so i just eye it up and use light pressure for the first run. if it goes a tad off u can normaly then pull it off and try again, once u get the nack it’s easy.

[Paul Goodwin]

[Paul Goodwin]

I saw them back way yonder 🙂 on teh tour where keith richards cut his thumb and it was cancelled for ages, mid 90’s i think it was

very good

but not a good as Queen 😎

[Paul Goodwin]

Hi Shane

i’m using 12 here and i set mine to a cut path, use it as a hairline and it’s fine ?

[Paul Goodwin]

Confusing isn’t it Rob… 😕

[Paul Goodwin]

Hi Guys

Cracke dit with all your help thank you 🙂

i saved as a eps ( i did do thi sthe other day but didn’t play with teh settings )

opened in corel and noticed that the shading had gone, but as it was a vector filer i could moved the layers about and i got the shading back 🙂

put my cut path around saved as eps, it prints loverley 🙂

Thanks again all

[Paul Goodwin]

Cheers Rodney will try that 🙂

[Paul Goodwin]

Rod it can open it, but thats as far as it goes.

and do i want to cut out by hand 120 400mm circles??

[Paul Goodwin]

Thanks Dave i’ll give that a shot in teh morning

Paul

[Paul Goodwin]

I can do that Becky.

But i cant put the cut path i have made in with the pdf file.

as soon as i try and open up the pdf in anything apart from adobe acrobat it looks cak 🙁

Troop DX can do it 🙂 but i can’t inport that into anything that i have to use it 🙁

I WILL FIND AWAY

[Paul Goodwin]

Yep no problem Rob 🙂

and thanks for looking into it for me.

[Paul Goodwin]

Thats what i did Peter but the shading on the outline imports in as lines and looks terrible 🙁

[Paul Goodwin]

Nice website 🙂 well laid out and thoughtfull

I know nothing about building webbies 🙁 got a m8 doing mine atm

[Paul Goodwin]

Yep 🙁

I can get it into corel, but the image looks terrible around the shading, compared to the pdf.

i can print the pdf if i open it straight into troop no probs but i need that cutpath

[Paul Goodwin]

Having spoke to the sales Person

All sorted….. you can put contour round in SL.

and other probs sorted as well.

[Paul Goodwin]

Hi Guys sorry for the late reply my Internet is down at home:(

They did know that i was selling my old machine and i was told that i wouldn’t have any problems, also i was assured that all the companies were selling the same deal……

So how is the same deal with different software?

Ok it is the latest version which does print great ect. but my bread and butter work i now have to go through hoops to do. which in my view is not realy on

I knew i couldn’t use my old program. and i would have to manipulate my old designs to cut them , that isn’t the issue.

It’s all my new stuff i just can’t do as easy as i feel i should with a 10k machine.

i know i got a good deal with teh consumables but i’m definatly let down with the software which i feel i was led to believe would let me do my day to day stuff as well. The engineer who instaled it even said i can’t just CUT from the machine ffs. he said i would have to turn everything to white. pretend to print it then cut it??

I had to sort that out myself with a call to a local competetor !!

and not returning my calls? ok the salesman has just got back from holiday on monday, ok so he has heavy load on, but a call takes 5 mins , i feel let down and it’s now as if they have their money i don’t matter 🙁

[Paul Goodwin]

What rip did u get with it higgi?

[Paul Goodwin]

As Rod says.

Felling a little let down with the software. Means i have to learn Corel which i hate with a passion. just to do my basic cutting with.

Machine is great though just the software isn’t what i expected tbh

[Paul Goodwin]

Hi Peter

the machine is great, not too happy with the vesion of Troop that i got. i was under the impresion that it was going to be Troop DX which u can cut from ( has flexi inbuilt) but it isn’t 🙁

working on it though.

[Paul Goodwin]

All the best 🙂

[Paul Goodwin]

That looks realy good 🙂

[Paul Goodwin]

One of my customers is a Autoglym approved valeter, i’ll try and get some details off him on how to buy it in bulk

Give me a couple of days

[Paul Goodwin]

I do have a limo it’s a angled view but of an old type. not sure if it will be any good. i’ll post it when i get into the workshop

[Paul Goodwin]

Hi Guys just a quick update

getting my machine from Printmax, very good deal through the boards.

Not sure if i can indulge you but if Rob gives me the nod i will.

but it is a good deal imho 🙂

delivery monday fingersX

[Paul Goodwin]

Makita 🙂

[Paul Goodwin]

That is realy nice, and in such a short turn around as well 🙂

[Paul Goodwin]

try cherwells 01280 840297

[Paul Goodwin]

^^ :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

[Paul Goodwin]

I now use a steam wall paper striper as well. just be carefull on plastic panels.

On a smart car i used it on teh paint went a tad funny on the door panel on one side, may not have been the steam but it may have been, not sure the only thing i can think of is it’s a platic car.

apart from that it’s a very quick and clean way of striping vinyl.

[Paul Goodwin]

That is realy Smart:)

how long did it take to apply to the unit? and what sort of “niggly” problems did you face Rob (?)

Thnaks Britchenko

i’ll do that

[Paul Goodwin]

I thinki’ll be off to Vivid

what i see on my screen is nowhere close to what comes off my laser, let alone someone elses rig 🙂

[Paul Goodwin]

Hi Vivid

CMYK i think

c 100
m 60
y 0
k 6

is one of the colours, simple logo realy easy to recreate in cut vinyl but again teh designer has used pantone colours that have no close macth 🙁

[Paul Goodwin]

Well it’s Past midnight why am i still here???
or was it midnight somewhere else where the world is ending?

[Paul Goodwin]

Thanks Paul 🙂

just waiting to see hwta they come back with now, i called the DVLA and they said it’s a grey area but the law doesn’t recognise the words showplates/fancy plates, and as soon as u put a registration on a plate it’s a number plate ect, but i argued that if the person signs a disclaimer that they are show plates not for road use ect, how can that be against the law to sell them ?

confusing.

[Paul Goodwin]

Hi Guys thnx for replies

Dewi i’ll e-mail it now

[Paul Goodwin]

Thanks Andrew your a star 🙂

[Paul Goodwin]

I also believe Harley Davidson are very stringent with who uses their logo.

I’m sure there was a thread on here way back regarding this and that was just the use of the harley shield (which i believe is also copyrighted)

[Paul Goodwin]

Hi Andrew

just to be a pain in teh A**e could you please do the word

Aylesbury for me as well. this will be the last time honest 🙂

if the customer wants anymore done, he will have to fork out for the font.

Thanks

Paul

This post has frightened me to death. Just bought an american rv (motorhome to us europeans ) with a 7400cc Chevy engine bout 8 to the gallon if im lucky but hoping gas stays cheap cos its being converted to lpg.

I though my 2.2 Legacy was bad at 19mpg around town but 8mpg 😕

[Paul Goodwin]

Hi Shane

I filled up the van the other day with Esso Diesel. it was 89.9p per litre ( Aylesbury)

And the car was cheeper with unleaded petrol at 85.9 in buckingham
20 miles form aylesbury r

i thought Diesel was Supposed to be CHEAPER? the government promoted Diesel as a cheap fuel, as soon as there are a lot of diesel vehicles on the road, hey presto it costs more.

So is the same going to happen to LPG?
cheap as chips now but in the future?

I knwo who to talk to at the show next week now, if they are there……

[Paul Goodwin]

Hi LJ

those are fine thanks… to much choice now 🙂

[Paul Goodwin]

Thanks Paul

[Paul Goodwin]

My Camm 1 did this a lot but not all the time, i found my marks where slightly out and the rollers were clogged up in some places making it slightly slip.

what i did was thoroughly clean the rollers ect. then i put down on each end 2 strips of tape, spent an age getting getting the material to run true, then mark with a fine pen on both ends where the material was on a true run.

Problem solved, i can now quite quickly load up and get accurate runs of about 3m without any slew.

Dunno if that will help you, but worth a try?

[Paul Goodwin]

Thanks Peter 🙂

Simon you had me worried before i downloaded them, i thought whats so funny asking for taps? hehe

[Paul Goodwin]

Thanks LJ will do

[Paul Goodwin]

Oh and don’t let anyone put you on the spot for prices …. just drum it into yourself to tell them to wait till you get back to the office and look at the costings and you will get back to them …. always the best way.

To damn right, i learnt that the hard way, looks more profesional as well.

Give them a Ish price if u have to but don’t ever put that in concrete.

Also type of vinyl u use make s a big differance as well

[Paul Goodwin]

Thats what i’m not sure about Nigel

is this for a sign or is it a measuring straight edge? if it’s Measuring straight edge it would need to be 100%, so on a grinder it goes 🙂
