John,
Thank you for the kind words.
I actually had to call UCONNDAVE for some help on these. I am doing 250. As a point of clarification the picture that I posted is NOT the job I am doing. The JOB has already given me a challenge.
That challenge was getting the Rapid Mask to conform to the compound curve of the glass. Daves suggestion is a laser resist which he says is more pliable and has more stretch.
Come Monday, I'm on the phone to find some.
As for advice John, as wiling as I am to help, at this point in my dubious career, I am not the one to ask. David Takes, or UCONNDAVE are the ones to ask. At least they are who I am asking.
Now to STRESS that point let me tell you how I just spent the last hour, or maybe I shouldn't, I'll be tarred feathered and run off the forum. Ah what the heck, here goes....
I just spent the last hour ( today) and at least a couple yesterday working on a logo ( the one in the picture )in CorelDRAW 12 to get it ready to blast... as I ungroup all, and click and point and invert ( did somebody say invert? ) I am thinking to myself that there has to be a better way. Well, after I FINISHED doing all of this, THEN I click help in corel and find out how to manipulate the image in four clicks of the mouse and about 15 seconds of my time . AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! But there is good news! I learned something and I will never go through THAT again.
Whew! Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
As for pricing? If I keep charging the price I did for this job. ( It was pretty much dictated to me since it is a state project), I will actually be PAYING people to do work for them.
Hey! Need and Award? Here Let me pay you to allow me to make it for you.... yes folks that's right! Here at Awards - R - US, we pay YOU!!! Hurry in today.....
