  1. Suggestions for quality retractable banner stands

    I'm really not a fan of those cheap stands, we use orient and imagine stands for the most part.
  2. Roland SP 540V?

    I wonder if this is the 540 we sold to a dealer a couple years ago. lol I was never a huge fan of the 540v, I mean it was a decent printer, got the job done. Quality on ours wasn't great, but I think that was cuz the heads were so bad. Also ours had no motorized take-up reel which was a huge...

    Tech security experts all rank anti-virus very low on the list of ways to protect yourself, most say the built in windows defender is plenty. Many anti-virus programs have had flaws exposed that allows people into computers running them. Anti-viruses won't catch new viruses because they don't...
  4. Car Wrapping Classes?

    I took the 3M 3 day course and it covered a lot more than just vehicle wraps such as walls, windows, dealing with rivets, and a lot more. The thing I found is that you'll get as much as you put into it. Ask a lot of questions and get as many tips from the pros while you're there. I still want...
  5. Question How bad could it be?

    We had a 540v sitting around for 2 years, ended up just selling it for parts as well.
  6. Frustrated - perforated window Install

    Overlaps are always more visible on window perf since you can never line up the holes exactly. If I have to overlap, I do .25". If the perf is laminated, I don't leave an overlap at all. Have some for install, trim it off and edge seal where they meet with optically clear. As for the...
  7. Rounded Corners: Can Anyone Explain This!?

    I'm not sure about an easy method, seems like a math problem that can be avoided by using the method you ultimately did. Here's a visual
  8. Rounded Corners: Can Anyone Explain This!?

    It looks like the issue is your method, doing it this way in illustrator on a .8 radius on a triangle gave a result of 1.4. I've never done anything like this before so I'm not sure about a good method, I'm leaning towards taking a photo of it square on and measuring it in illustrator. Maybe a...

    Displays2go have up to 18x24 of these. Haven't seen them anywhere else.
  10. Need Help Onyx automatic image resize

    If your image is wider than the media, you sometimes need to rotate it and it will be the right size unless you need to tile the job. Not sure if 10 does it, but in 11 there is the rotate option when importing files. Or you can open it in job editor and rotate it there. I think this happens...

  12. Need Help What is this crap?

    That's the pattern the rollers that feed the material into the print zone leave when a roll is contaminated with something. ie plasticizers or something else. Or your rollers could have something on them, but I've never seen that happen. If it's a double sided material, sometimes the other...

  16. cut lines

    I always make my cut path on a separate layer than the artwork so I can hide the artwork and look at the path/edit it. Sometimes if your path has effects on it, it won't work properly when brought into other programs/printed. You have to go to Object>expand to get rid of those effects, just...
  17. cut lines

    I'm not sure about Flexi, but in Illustrator; create a custom spot color named CutContour (can be any color, I use 100% magenta) and use that for your cut path, then you can save as a PDF without color conversion and it works just fine. No cut paths in Photoshop
  18. Onyx Multiple Copies ?

    Changed your setup for the printer, under placement, from Conserve Media/Group Jobs Together to Print Jobs Individually.
  19. Discussion Tips for Designing Wrap

    I wrapped 2 Dodge Promasters recently which are very similar to the Sprinters. I left the slider door rail on and worked around it. Keep in mind that they may affect how your panels line up. Also those indents on the sides can be a pain, there is a good method to doing those where you don't...
