  1. Gradient white print out of Rasterlink??

    It works just as you outlined. Set the gradient to (in our case, Cyan), output it as a separate file. Import into RL, select mono color, and replace cyan with white. Then composite with the CMYK file and print. I've also done it as a raster image. I brought it into Photoshop, set it to...
  2. Two installs of onyx go+ on same license?

    They're on the same network. But typically, I send one page as a test print, and then send the rest. Or a job consists of multiple short runs and the printer doesn't have an interface to control that. I don't want to have to walk back and forth across the whole shop to access the computer Onyx...
  3. Two installs of onyx go+ on same license?

    I have a laser printer and our flatbed, both are supported by onyx and fit on the go+ license (2 printers, 3 rip engines. However, they’re in totally different locations in the building. Can I have two installs of the software if each only drive one printer from each?
  4. Acrylic ink adhesion

    1 liter was the minimum the others offered. “We’ve sold it for this purpose for years” was the best he could offer in support of my application.
  5. Acrylic ink adhesion

    I have a sample of the Boston Industrial primer on the way. They're the only company willing to send samples apparently.
  6. Acrylic ink adhesion

    In this very specific case, it would have worked, but on average, sanding is not an option. In my example last week, I cleaned with isopropyl alcohol, then applied the GM-1 Mimaki primer, let it dry, then printed.
  7. Acrylic ink adhesion

    I have a JFX200-2351EX wirh LUS-150 inks (lus-100 clear). We primarily print on acrylic. Due to the variety of acrylics we print on, it is not practical to get digital acrylic. We also did not opt for a primer channel in favor of an extra white channel. I have the GL-1 Mimaki primer which seemed...
  8. Onyx 24 new user questions (Mimaki JFX200-2513EX)

    I installed Onyx Go Plus today, and despite no apparent documentation being available (for free), I've worked my way through it so far. But I've encountered some issues/questions that I'm hoping someone can help with. 1. I have selected the driver for my JFX200-2513EX. There seem to be only 2...
  9. Excerpts of an image didn't print the same as the main image

    No, the original is actually 72, which isn't ideal, but it is what it is.
  10. Excerpts of an image didn't print the same as the main image

    I used WebP so mine looks a bit different. I like the PDF option though. I will explore that further. It's still a clip of the full image each time, but it's a reference to the image, so it shouldn't be a big deal.
  11. Excerpts of an image didn't print the same as the main image

    Basically, it's image slicing. You can draw in slices and export them as images (intended for building websites). Or, since many of mine were overlapping, I found that I could draw a bunch of artboards ("pages" basically) and do it that way. For example, if I have an 8"x8" artboard and I lay a...
  12. Excerpts of an image didn't print the same as the main image

    The first image is the cut part next to the background and it's spot on. The second one is another of the same fruit, but the leaves are totally different. That's the other strange thing, some of it is fine, some of it is not.
  13. Excerpts of an image didn't print the same as the main image

    Mimaki JFX200-2513 EX Rasterlink 6 Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop current version I've got a WebP image provided by a client. It's sRGB. It's a photo of an collage art piece composed of individually painted wood pieces. The client wants us to print and then cut out the individual pieces and...
  14. CNC pricing for other sign shops?

    Nothing wrong with job minimums. Ours is $100, a fellow shop with metal cutting ability is $300. I love doing simple cutting on provided material, but typically it's many sheets worth and my clients (so far) generally deliver decent files. My issues are usually more about rediculous timelines...
  15. CNC pricing for other sign shops?

    We do laser cutting and have the same issue. As others have said, you can't do square foot pricing on something like this. In Adobe illustrator, you can open the document info palette and switch it to objects mode, then it will show the linear inches of the paths selected. I worked out a price...
  16. Best option for printing onto aluminum blanks in scale?

    Nice! I've ordered one to try.
  17. Best option for printing onto aluminum blanks in scale?

    Can you tell me what this cutter is? I'm not familiar.
  18. Affordable color management and RIP options?

    Does Onyx support the 2.5D printing? Mimaki said we can print braille and that they have a letter saying it meets the appropriate requirements, but I've yet to get anyone to tell me how to actually do it I'm signed up for the advanced training class, but it's not until later this year in my...
  19. Affordable color management and RIP options?

    Rochester Institute of Technology, in NY. Apparently the only other printing school was/is in Arizona. We were the School of Printing Management and Sciences, but over the years, it's become something about digital. It was a BS, but they had an MS program as well. I remember one of the MS...
  20. Affordable color management and RIP options?

    Everywhere I've looked has no profiles for my press/ink set. I have LUS-150 inks, which isn't even an option here. Even with LUS-120, there are 2 profiles. There are profiles in Rasterlink, but there is no guidance on what they mean. There are different version numbers, and some offer certain...
