What size are your runs? Reflective vinyl is pretty heavy so longer runs are going to be problematic. We try to keep under 12ft. Make sure your pinch wheels are cleaned, heavier material has a tendency to slip. We don't have any problems reading reg mark on reflective. Reg marks are roughly 1" x...

With a hefty rush fee maybe same day turn around but not 30min, not a chance.

Sorry can't be much help other than stated earlier. We use an HP printer and a Mimaki plotter. All reg marks & cut lines are set up within coreldraw using my self made macros then exported out as pdf to a "Hot" folder. The hot folder is basically a print que that our Print Tech uses to nest jobs...

How big are your reg marks? Sometimes making larger marks will help. Another thing to try is hold a fingernail on the side of the media too see how bad it "walks"or "skews" as it tries to read the marks. If it's walking a good distance (over 1/4") you might try purposely rotating the media a bit...

What do you mean by a "detailed EPS"? Does the file use a gradient fill. Sometimes a gradient fill will get broken into "stepped colors" to make up the gradient which will "bloat" the file. i.e. create too many shapes.

Let's look at some things 1. type of file printing i.e. eps, pdf, tif etc. 2. printing from a RIP or direct 3. CMYK, RGB, PANTONE blue

We used to use a 4 x 8 dry erase board blocked out like a calendar with two weeks (5days). Everything was color coordinated for proofs, installs, finishing etc. A few months ago we started using trello and haven't looked back. So easy to track and move jobs along. However it does't handle...

No special precautions required here. I'll be up by 5am start the fire pit and enjoy the sunrise with a cup of joe. By afternoon we'll head up the road about 20 miles to have dinner with some local family members (maybe 10 of us). I'll make a green been casserole and the wife will bring her a...

Not all that familiar with illy but is there a setting for backup i.e. how often to backup. In Corel I have opted to turn the feature off for this same reason. It seemed to close at exactly the same time frame each time which by default Corel is set at 20min. It will still create a backup but...

Why does 4Over's business card templates indicate a 1/16" bleed. Thought the standard was 1/8"? When I asked they even verbally said 1/8". So which is it? And why do the eps templates only have crop marks? Makes no sense to me.

Depending on what software you want to run I'd stick to intel. AMD of any sort doesn't play well with others.

I'll take pdf over eps if gradients are present. And can't stress enough about how to properly create a pdf. In Corel you can put a check in the "Convert Fonts" tab. This is absolutely a must when creating pdf's. It's a little more tedious to do in illustrator but it can AND SHOULD be done...

Several of different ways in Corel . 1. Envelope Tool 2. Create Boundary, delete line segments leaving just the bottom line, Select text, go Text/Fit Text to Path and click on the line 3. Create Boundary, delete line segments leaving just the bottom line, select Text Tool and hover around that...

Whenever our sales team are asked to send over a companies logo they relay the message back to me. My first question is what is it for and I can tell immediately that the client is getting this weird face like what does that matter. So I explain to them the difference and usually end up creating...

Just like last year we'll be closing for a couple of weeks for Christmas/New Years. Why can't mail in votes be cut off some weeks prior to actual election day? Count those first. Early voting works great. You casually go in, take your time, vote as you like and it's input right away. They...

We do duplicate cards in order to hold a place for install dates and also if multiple substrates are required for that job. So we might have the orig card for just rta and a duplicate for the print vinyl. Don't use job numbers - we file by business name or last name both in trello and our...

Here's a snip of my trello board. Note the tabs for the other boards
