I haven't. I honestly don't experiment much in Illustrator these days, just use the basic features that I can wrap my head around. I'll check it out though, looks like it might do what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Crazy to think that they would expect you to do more work for them when they owe you money and are refusing to pay. Hope you're able to get more of out them. Personally I'd be tempted to take on the job and hold them hostage, but I guess that wouldn't be too professional.........

This looks really useful, but can't seem to find any links on how to get this plugin:

Hey Scott, that would be nice for sure! I'll have another look at e-cut. We had it in the past but on an old computer. I'm more looking for a way of making a 3D rendering to visualize/demonstrate how the signs would look. (related the project we were talking about) Played around with SketchUp...

Can anyone recommend a good option for making ADA/dimensional sign mockups? I don't need any crazy Auto-cad features and don't need take-offs for manufacturing, just simply want to be able to mockup signs w/ some dimension. For example, playing around with multi-layered ADA signs and want to...

Interesting, I'll have to play with this a bit. Does it not understand how to use proper spelling or were you intentionally giving it misspelled words?

Gee, that's pretty specific isn't it?! :roflmao: What if you print your "pastel" or "bright" color on clear vinyl, then back it with metallic silver vinyl? Then cut all your text/logos/whatever in reverse, weed, mask, apply on inside of glass.

What finish/color/look is your client looking for, specifically? Lots of mylar/polyester/metallic films have the same finish on adhesive side, just depends what you're looking for and how wide of a roll you need to use.

What kind of flatbed printer are you using? I'm surprised it doesn't have enough vacuum power to hold down a sheet of coroplast. I don't know that a heat gun will help here. Usually all you need is a bit of pressure/weight on the ends if a sheet is warped - as soon as it seals the vacuum will...

Hey Kayle, welcome from Winnipeg! You guys have any snow left over there? Disappearing fast here, which is super weird for Jan/Feb in Winterpeg. Out of curiosity, what does it mean to be a 3M Silver Select shop? I've never heard that terminology before.

This is both hilarious and scary. Mind sharing what type of AI you're using for these? Not to get too side-tracked (or is it too late for that?) but how do rights/copyrights work for AI-generated logos?

Incorrect. UV does fade and will do so faster than most solvent inks. I'd say your customer has been misinformed.

We have (1) S60600 in a 2500 sqft shop, and when printing heavy coverage/long runs I can taste the ink in the upstairs office, which is almost completely sealed off from the production area. That's with lots of ceiling fans going and an air scrubber beside the printer.

Contacting X-rite might be a good start like you mentioned, see if they have anyone they would recommend. You could also talk to ND Graphics, we had Wissam (from ND) come to our shop for 2 days and help us build some profiles w/ our i1 in Onyx. We ended up spending/wasting almost a full day...

This is the first time I've heard this before. Is there a document outlining what should be checked/maintained?

You could always give these guys a call: https://cdnvisa.com/ They're a customer of ours, I'm pretty sure this is something they do. (Not a plug, just first company that came to mind)

I'm not near our RIP station but you SHOULD be able to achieve this. Add 10mm "bleed" and set it to white. Add trimlines and set to bleed area or something along those lines. That should work.

Yeah, same here. We've run all day vinyl cut jobs and it will work fine for most of the day then just start dropping jobs halfway through. Blew one slot on our board a few months back then finally blew the second one just before the holidays. Board wasn't terribly expensive or hard to...
