If you forget to prep it for a weekend shutdown once or twice, you probably won't encounter any issues, but it's really inadvisable. All it takes is once. If push comes to shove, you can fill the caps with cleaning solution, park the head, and shut down the machine at the main switch. While you...

Looks like it. Completely separate ends of the spectrum though.

The shop in which you work was either set up because the owner thought they could do it cheaper than getting another shop to do it, or it's a tax scheme. Run. Either you will quit, or you will have the rug pulled out from under you. Are you guys the Watson's in Dundas or Kingston? I have a...

That's all well and good if each and every one of the students is planning on opening their own shop, but they will never get jobs at graphic design studios without extensive training in Adobe's software. Budget or no, a graphic design program that doesn't teach Adobe is a joke, and nobody will...

What I said may be argumentative, but that's just straight-up rude, man. He's no designer, that's true, but that doesn't mean his words don't come from personal experience.

True, but what the client fails to realize is that they are not the target consumer; their clients are. I can guarantee you that the scenario you presented never happens in Sudbury, and I'm positive that it rarely happens elsewhere. That is a community absolutely drowning in mobile-pamphlet...

Are we even looking at the same designs? The second one is a bloody text book.

He is not wrong. I spent a few years in Sudbury, and I have a lot of family there. Grew up in Timmins though, where the saying was well known. Still, we're a self-deprecative bunch, so we usually worked in a line about Timmins being the groin or something.

You win some, you lose some. Good on you for at least trying to pretty up Ontario's armpit!

Did they change things that drastically between Onyx 7 and 11? Unless I'm making changes to the profile, I stay away from Media Manager, and just change my output resolution by right-clicking on the job in the production manager, and selecting "Edit > Printer Settings".

I'm not really digging the amount of bald spots due to the high peaks, but this idea is awesome. Would love to see one with either more transparency, or lower peaks, to allow for the appearance of more saturated images. Edit: Who makes it?

With the older model capping station, the screens would constantly get stuck to the heads. In the last couple of years, they've revised the design so that the screens are clamped in place by small plastic teeth. I've never heard of the entire cap going with the heads though. That's definitely...

1. What's up with the Blue stripe in the eye of the skull on the right? A knock on the Crips? 2. All of these drug enforcement organizations are going to have serious budget issues when their state legalizes marijuana and they need to rebrand everything with their "logo" on it. So creepy and...

Welcome, from the NCR! Acadian by any chance?

This is the only problem I have with your whole process. Any remnant of solvent cleaning fluid from the head can melt plastics wraps. I'd either place them back in the OEM clamshell, or stick both ends into foam blocks, leaving the nozzles free floating, not touching anything. Box them from...

Just curious, why not go with a cast/cast vinyl/lam combo? A good cast lam will minimize any possible edge curl, can add the texture you're looking for, and add longevity to the inks.

Identify or eliminate raised media as an issue by printing the image rotated 90 degrees. Still the same pattern in the same direction? Yeah, more than likely drop concentration as the media lifts between the rollers. Either your temperature is too high/low, or your vacuum is off or dead. If the...

I'm amazed this doesn't happen more often with that style. Was the graphic laminated?

Don't do that. Even with a RAW file, and a perfectly calibrated camera, your white balance could be off, and the ambient lighting will vary the colour wildly. There's a reason we use Pantones, and it's specifically to avoid approximations like that.

Oh my god the loading icon on their website is a cowboy hat.
