Ok thought so. We're were trying to figure out a way to run 2 different full size files in one pass, essentially printing in both zones in one go.

Hey there Sign makers - for any Canon flatbed printers, does anyone know if "dual origin enabled" mean being able to print the same batched files in dual zones or different batched files - batch group 1 and batch group 2, one in each zone.

We've come across the "grey" issue several times on the 570. I ended up deleting the profile and redownloading it (IJ40C_R). I was told by a tech that sometimes not all the data gets transmitted to the printer from the RIP. It seemed to take care of it, also I calibrate every time I change to...

Does anyone know how to completely drain the ink from an HP FB 500 Scitex printer? We emptied the waste container but I suspect there is still ink in the lines. Getting rid of the printer and replacing it with an Oce Arizona.

What was the overall dimension? 8mm seems pretty hefty for the display, maybe could have used 1/8"...

lol, rubber cement pickup, I remember those.

After we mount a clear print onto acrylic 2nd surface, we back it with 3M electrocut white vinyl, then another layer of IJ35C. It prevents the adhesive from migrating into your clear vinyl print. Airbubbles? Was the acrylic sagging? depending on the overall size of your acrylic piece 8mm might...

Maybe increase the plotter force? Do a test cut.

:rolleyes:, sigh!

:eek: Right and I really hate computer generated letterspacing and all the typographical rules that are broken from customer provided art: widows (or orphans, sorry probably not pc), line breaks at a name, horrible kerning. I stopped looking, lol.

That's right Papyrus was cool at the time but now, no one likes to weed out small Papyrus text from vinyl.

Exactly, in the early 80's there used to be "rub-on" transfer text by a company called Letraset. It came in hundreds of different fonts, you would hand space each letter and transfer it to an illustration board. The next step would be to use a high contrast "Photostat" camera and shoot a...

Lol, right?! ;)

It think it is appropriate, for my old school training it brought back memories of setting individual metal characters on a slug to compose a manuscript. One would send it to a type house and "spec" it out: type size in points with leading (space between lines of text), line length, paragraph...
