  1. Rogue Roller

    Interesting application. But I have my ways of doing what he did without too much difficulty. I remember reading about one called the "rolls roller". What would be the biggest plus of this though over a mounting machine/laminator? Apart from the light table, no pun intended, I don't see...
  2. Camera equipment

    If you can afford it, wait for the D800.... or wait till it comes out anyway... the D700 will be discontinued, and will be going for peanuts. Can't go wrong either way. My mate has a D700 and it's a fine camera. D300 is also ok, but DX. I'm still with DX (D90), but next time will go full...
  3. Easel Back

    So use velcro spots/tape instead of double sided tape...
  4. The power of RGB

    Amazing
  5. Roland VS 6400. 4 Color vs 6 Color Setup?

    The speed decrease with the VS is quite significant when you go 6 color or white/metallic. http://www.rolanddga.com/products/printcut/versaVs/specifications.asp Speeds are here ^ I run vs640 in dual cmyk, and I get good colour and resolution, and when running in 6 pass, great...
  6. Who's on First? + Typography

    Good one :) thanks!
  7. 3m ij8150 & printer settings

    8150 is for sol/eco sol printers (and maybe for latex) only no? Isn't the 9800 a water based printer?
  8. Gradient Problems

    Great news - good to hear it worked out in the end!
  9. Gradient Problems

    Where you use K100 for example, it will attempt to use K100 in VW. Good for using Y100 sometimes when you quickly need to avoid using "dirty" yellows... In general I don't use it. It can also be used as a quick way to force only the K channel to be used on your printer... however trying to...
  10. Gradient Problems

    I have successfully eliminated banding in a photograph in the past with this method, so it worked for that particular scenario, BUT, that was with an 8 bit file where I could actually see the banding on my screen, not just on the print, which is why I asked if you could see it on your screen...
  11. Why the limited gamut?

    Well, looks like I can't send you an attachment via PM, and I can't upload a CDR or ZIP file for you, and a PDF would damage the transparency attributes in the CDR... I'll see if I can email it to you.
  12. Gradient Problems

    Colorimetric can cause banding. When re-mapping colours, it will leave in gamut colours as is, and shift out of gamut to the nearest possible. This can cause a noticeable jump in shades. Perceptual will maintain the relative shading and shift all colours as required to recreate the tonal...
  13. Why the limited gamut?

    I think he means the "Edit Tone Curves" button in the same area in VW. (sorry if I'm wrong Castek). Level adjustment gives you general/overall control of each ink, whereas editing tone curves gives you more control of which tones of each (or all) colour/s you'd like to edit. For example, if...
  14. Gradient Problems

    It's not simply about saving it down to 8bit with dithering. Follow the instructions, especially the creating a white noise layer part. This is the part that hides the banding. A quicker way is to just use the add noise filter as well, but the link's method is better IMO. Care to upload...
  15. Gradient Problems

    This goes in depth and answers a lot of questions. It has worked for me. http://trojankitten.posterous.com/archive/8/2011?page=4
  16. Graphtec Blades in Aus.?

    Sorry, no idea... Yeah they went bust last year... wouldn't be surprised if another few go this year either!
  17. Profiling Versaworks 4

    Versaworks profiling procedure summary the way I was taught/learnt from self study, using my equipment and procedures... 1) set everything in CP-001.jpg to 100%, and print a lin. chart. 2) examine the chart, and try to manually judge where the colour doesn't change, and change it to this...
  18. Profiling Versaworks 4

    I'd like to ressurect this thread, as I don't want to hijack Colin's thread about printing greys with VW. I'll paste the URL though, coz it's good reading and relevant. http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89539 What I'm really curious about is the above comment by lephot...
