  1. is decolit the be all in banner product for retractables?

    I think I have to move to this product for certain types of printing. I use a premium non curl banner material currently but the quality control in manufacture is questionable, especially on full colour banners. Not always, but enough times have found strange patterns occuring under full...
  2. viewing pdf file incorrect?

    I do not see this to often but it popped up yesterday and I start to wonder if you can trust anything you see anymore. Customer sent me 4 pdf files which were created in photoshop. In 3 of them I could see the type style they were using in the graphics, all be it they were not high res enough...
  3. just wondered if anyone else has this issue with their Mimaki?

    Since the beginning my Mimaki jv3130spII has a small window of time to change empty ink cartridges while printing. Once the machine indicates it is out of ink I have about 10 minutes to change it or else I get an error beep; when I resume printing and sometimes I see about 1 pass missing or in...
  4. signlab 8 quick question

    When I use the make path function on lettering or objects with an inner shape the software never knocks the colour out. Is there some new way of doing this as I am finding it frustrating to continually make the insides of letters white manually. Oh wait I now find if I change the shape to a...
  5. not happy with laminate

    emergency bulletin I don't think any other business puts up with more product garbage than our own. I have a large job to do and a fair bit is due tomorrow morning. I printed everything pristine and high quality. I came in saturday night to laminate it all so that it would be ready to go this...
  6. Apple cider vinegar with mother

    I know there are a few health gurus on this site and I just found out in the last 2 weeks of the amazing things this vinegar can do for you. I initialy started taking it as it is good for Gout, but now find it's good for just about anything from what I read online. I have no problem taking it...
  7. how do you all deal with a gradient as far as matching colour?

    Gradients spell trouble for me. I have a file sent to me and the designer has the pms colours set. One colour blends to the next colour so there is no real easy way for me to be able to change the colour to one that more closely resembles the pantone due to the constant colour shifts in the...
  8. Just got back from Myrtle beach Golf trip

    All I ask for every year is a lousy 1 week off to go down south golfing. I work like a bugger 3 weeks before to clear everything and when I return I work like a bugger to catch up. This year I am pretty sure i did 2.5 weeks worth of work the last week before I left and finished everything...
  9. Just wanted to say thanks.....

    When I wrote the thread about putting my dog down, I received a private message from James Burke and he wanted to know my dogs name and when she was born. He said he was going to send me something. I was off last week on holidays and returned to find a small but heavy package on my desk. I...
  10. pantone 9043?

    My book does not go this high. Does anybody's? Google has it listed as a natural white or egg shell. If this were the case what vinyl colour do you think would be a close match?
  11. Is there anyone out there using this pet 15oz banner material?

  12. can you laminate a scrim banner?

    I have never tried this and wonder if the laminate would lay down ok and hold, or will it slowly release and get a bubbled look. anyone ever try?
  13. Toby....my dog needs to be put down....:(

    The last 2.5 weeks have been hard for Toby, our shepard border collie mix dog. At first I thought I had poisoned her by giving her almonds and when i did a search on the net some sites were saying they contain cyanide and can be dangerous for dogs. I gave her 5 or 6 every day or so for about a...

  15. spelling issue question

    Customer send me a doc file of 5 signs they need. All the same I cut and paste and set up onto a template they like and everything is basically a knockout on reflex blue. I find a spelling error and fix it. Send back PDF file for approval. Customer sends back reply and now is making changes...
  16. a small Saturday morning rant.

    In Toronto a few years ago the rulers that be, put in a lame law that says to reduce landfill waste retailers could charge a nickel for a bag. Thats right a nickel, a whole plug nickel....this is to deter me? Now in all honesty you cant tell me that 1,000,000 plastic shopping bags melted...
  17. media compensation

    I understand the function and use it every day. What I would like to know is if there is a way to go back to zero without having to be printing. I find many times I might have compensation at lets say -70, then I run a job on different material and the -70 is still locked in and maybe I need...

    I have a slight issue.... I have somehow got some small amounts of spray adhesive on the fronts of some of these photos I am glueing to boards. Is there any safe way of getting it off? They are actual photo finished prints and not digital prints. why did I take this job on? dumb
