  1. Metallic option of Roland VS540

    It depends on what kind of work is in demand in their market. If the work is there, it's very worthwhile to have. The other end of the stick, is very ugly. If they get metallic, and then realise they have no need for it, it's a painful mistake to make. There is a LARGE tradeoff in print...
  2. sequential numbering in illy or versa?

    No need to type them if they are sequential. http://youtu.be/tCzEj8X6jXk?t=39s
  3. Double Pass on Digital Print

    Yeah it looks too dark sometimes in the day, but good when lit up. The other way some people do it is to do a print on clear in reverse and stick it on the back surface, then a single pass trans print on the front. Best of both worlds.
  4. Wraps are dead. My work is done.

    http://youtu.be/PD83dqSfC0Y This material is more flexible. Made of glass beads... 3M is already rubbing their hands I'm sure. "From the pioneers of reflective sheeting... "
  5. Digital camera recommendation for those in the market (non-DSLR)...

    I have a dslr but yeah would love something decent but small. I have heard many good things about the Panasonic 4/3 cameras. Also one of my customers recently got the new Nikon 4/3 camera and was showing it off... to be honest... looked only so so... the Panasonics and Canons seem more feature...
  6. Now that's a tat!

  7. L25500 silly question

    Silly guess, as I don't have that printer... But isn't leaving something that hot alone in a room unattended a little hazardous?
  8. Now that's a tat!

    What's the text?
  9. Burning letters

    Were you just as creative back then, as you are now? lol... I can only imagine what kinds of pictures you came up with in burnt wood...
  10. CAD files - straight segments

    My combo; Autocad 2007 AiCS4 Anything but a polyline comes into Ai fine (curves preserved - usual Ai curve handles). A curve drawn with the pen tool, exported to DXF, when opened in my AutoCAD, is also properly recognised as a spline. My guess is that your customer has converted their...
  11. Perfect Resize software problem

    +1 to that. Had another plug in a bought recently, where they stated it was 64bit compatible. Looks like they never tested with anything more than 4gb ram... some kind of memory addressing issue... I either have to turn my mem settings down in PS to something stupid like 1gb if in 64bit PS...
  12. The Billboard is up!

    I don't understand all the critique about sandwiches... It says signs and wraps... so... you get an a frame and he asks you if you want a chicken wrap with it? come on... ...and if you wanna find out coz it just bugs you that much, just look at the website... I'm sure there are plenty of...
  13. Logo Design - Starting in B/W

    I also like #3. 1 and 2 remind me of clothing labels and converse all stars for some reason. They all look great, but I just have a preference for 3 over the others. The bottom "company" bar with the 2 dots also makes it feel much more 'sign-like' than 1 and 2.
  14. Words I dislike, Sprinter & Matte black.

    Nice! One question I have been wondering about matte black maintenance... being soooo easy to mark (light fingernail run will "scratch" it) is there any way to restore or repair those kinds of marks? I love the look of it but just get worried how long they maintain that matte look for...
  15. Small Printers....

    Second hand sp300v and a gx300 cutter. If you can afford/fit it, sp540v and gx500. I'm sure there are mimaki equivalents.
  16. Customer had problem with me outsourcing

    I would first try to find out what made him so uncomfortable about it, then address it from there. More than likely, he got a 'bad' feeling for whatever reason (past experience etc) and felt like it's too late to back out, hence the frustration/disappointment on his end. I don't think you...
  17. NFIB is a bunch of harrasing jackals.

    step 1 - hang up calls again step 2 - "sorry bad line here" Repeat steps 1-2 as required until desired result is achieved.
  18. Starting with a black and white logo

    Very nice! I do laser etching, and that's even worse than the cut vinyl world. Really, if it doesn't work in black and white, forget it - I have battled with some people who think "yeah, but doesn't the computer just make it look good?" Even when things are black and white, some people just...
