  6. Need some opinion on Soljet Pro II SC 540

    haha you're not going to get a soljet for 3,000 dollars. we have a soljet pro III, the new one, and it is just as clean and easy to start up and use as our designjet 5500 which uses aqeous inks. I wouldn't see a problem in buying it, so long as all the lines are new and you can make sure all...
  7. Transparent background question?

    .gif and .png are the only formats that can be used on the net to see a transparent background. a native format (.psd or .ai) will always show it like it is, you have to tell us the software you're using and what you're trying to do with the file, exactly like doug allan said.
  8. Help with Roland Versa Camm 300

  10. Whos makes the best Laptops??

    mac does offer the core 2 duo's, and yes they offer the fastest in their laptops, they do NOT offer an extreme edition in any of their desktops. They do offer two dual core xeon's, but the new intel quad core should be faster, mac has yet to offer an extreme edition processor, and the quad...
  11. Whos makes the best Laptops??

    It was really pre-athlon 64 days. Athlon 64 was the paving ground for the PC being faster than the mac. Now mac doesn't even offer a core 2 duo processor faster than 2.33 ghz, whereas you can build a system w/ an intel core 2 duo xtreme, or even the quad core xtreme, for the same price as a...
  12. Whos makes the best Laptops??

    bob is correct, all laptops aside from casing, build quality, and personal preference, are all the same, there is really no brand that is any better than another brand, unless of course it comes to durability, then that goes to the panasonic toughbook, duh. And if it comes to "laptop that...
  13. New Thermal Printer/Cutter, 30in. DC4 SX List $12,995

    I like the thermal printing because of the metalics and the possible color gamut because of spot color foils. Hitting a PMS color without a hitch is nice, then throwing in some metalic is nice too. These printers are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slow. You realize if you're printing process colors, it...
  14. Differences in Roland printers

    yea, stay away from the conversions. If you want an eco-sol, get one made to use the ink, it's going to be made with better materials the entire way through. If you have to trust someone to come out and do a conversion, who knows if the conversion will include all ink feed lines, which may end...
  15. corel vs. adobe

    We have them both, corel never gets used, I don't see any reason for it, mainly because we use SignLab for vinyl cutting and sign design (a corel type program). Since our digital market has exploded 99% of my work is done in illustrator, and if you're doing digital stuff, you MUST have...
