  4. Employees, need advice on taking the next big step with my business...

    What we did once and it worked out really well was hire a student working a co-op term. They arent experienced but because they are taking graphic design arent strangers to PS and Illy. We canevaluate them, they dont get paid and excessive amount an if they seem to be working out we can offer...
  5. Banding issues

    we have had many issues with banding over the years and in our case it comes down to cleaning the printer and most important the profile. What I do is make 3x3 squares in red, black, blue and yellow and run test on different profiles and different modes, signs and diplay, max impact etc. I am...
  6. How many of you actually use PerfCut?

    I use the PerfCut quite often, used it today actually. We use it when we are running decals, either cutting shapes or just squares. It saves from having to print them and then have someone cut them into individual decals. It is a time saver for sure.
  7. The cheapest customers are also the biggest pains in the A**!

    We have a similar customer, she does come in with big jobs but she thinks that she is our ONLY client so we have to do everything for her at the drop of a hat. She comes in and sits with our artist for hours on end designing her work right then and there. We quote her the job and after she...

  9. film options other than Avery!?

    I think I will see if I cant get a sample of the Oracal wrap, I use the oracal calendared media and it prints great so hopefully the wrap film does as well.
  10. Looking for help with profile

    We have a new Roland Vs-540 and we have all the profiles we need and they all work great except for the Avery 1005. I cannot get a good print at all and I have been on the phone with my supplier, Avery and even had my tech in and no luck. I am hoping someone has a profile that works and could...
  11. Cutting with Roland versacamm 540?

    Yes you can cut right throught the laminate, the vinyl and the backing paper. Instead of using the CutContour to just cut the vinyl make a new swatch, change it to spot color and name it PerfCutContour just as its spelled with caps and all one word. This will open a special window in...
  12. film options other than Avery!?

    I have thought about making my own profile but I can tfind any documentation on how to do that.
  13. film options other than Avery!?

    I have had my fill of Avery and their film and am looking for good alternative. We have been using the Avery 1005EZ for some time for vehicle graphics and all was ok for a time but recently it seems to all have gone to crap. We can no longer get a good print, lots of banding, blacks are grey...
  14. Good vinyl for printing translucent?

    We are looking for a good translucent film to print on to. We have used Arlon 6500 in the past but it is rather expensive and we have tried a tru-stock film that works ok. We primarily have used a cast film for this but was told by one sales rep that calendared film works just as well but our...
  15. Problem with Illy CS6

    The only work around I can find is to stretch the window to almost full size after it minimizes so that when it does happen it doesnt affect too much, still wish there was a fix though.
  16. Problem with Illy CS6

    For some reason and I don't know why something has changed in my illustrator that when I have a file open and I go to open another file my window minimizes, not to the task bar but shrinks in size so I have to maximize it and all my panels on the right side are all collapsed. Not a big issue...
  17. What settings to get quality prints on VS-540?

    We recently upgraded to the new Roland VS-540 printer and cannot get a good print when we use the Avery 1005EZ media. I have been in contact with Avery and Proveer about this and they dont know what else to try. We have the latest profile from Avery and tried both sign and display as well as...
  18. Best vinyl for decals?

    We often get asked to make decals and have done so using Avery 1005 vehicle wrap and laminating it. I works but if you don't laminate then they are too stretchy. Is there a vinyl that can be used that makes good decals that will last that doesn't need to be laminated?
