  1. Soften light with vinyl?

    If you're able to get between the light and the cover, then a cine lighting gel sheet will give you more than a few options, and will be fire/heat resistant. https://www.rosco.com/sites/default/files/content/resource/2023-01/Rosco_Diffusion_Comparison.pdf
  2. Printing Authentic Digital art for Professional Artist

    I run this stuff day in, day out for artists. Pigment prints onto art paper, using an aqueous printer (12 channels). Arches 88 Awagami Kozo, Canson Edition Etching Rag, Canson Platine Rag, Canson Prestige Baryta, Hahnemuhle Photorag, Hahnemuhle Bamboo, Hahnemuhle Rice Paper, to name but a few...
  3. Louis Vuitton flagship store in NYC - Outstanding project

    LVMH has a(n im)moderate amount of money - estimated market cap of $383.56 billion as of September 2024 But a brilliant piece of work. Hopefully someone will share the full design / construction story of the project.
  4. Printer Recommendations for printing small to large Photographs for Customers

    The 6600 is really small for a 60" printer - only a few inches wider than our old 8400 44". For the £2.5k difference between a 4600 with take up reel, the 6600 is likely the next machine in our print space (and leaves just enough room for an 80600...). I've been printing photography and fine...
  5. Printer Recommendations for printing small to large Photographs for Customers

    6x4" is fine. Smallest roll it'll take is likely 10", so make sure you like trimming... One of our sides is film processing, so dev, scan and print. When the surelab was down for a few days for a new print head (£300), all the lovely 6x4 glossies were coming out of a 44" Canon, on 24" rolls, to...
  6. Need help finding any printer, that uses dye based inks (water soluble)

    Yep, regular glass cleaner (forget which (UK) brand). Or something like this would probably be pretty good at distressing the output.
  7. Need help finding any printer, that uses dye based inks (water soluble)

    If you have no luck, glass cleaner is kryptonite to Epson and Canon aqueous pigment ink - I believe the glycol is the killer part.
  8. Printer Recommendations for printing small to large Photographs for Customers

    We ended up getting a little Epson Surelab DL800 for this - 4, 5,6,8" rolls, print and cut (though only across the roll). 6x200ml carts. About £3.5k with the rip. Build quality is excellent, and runs on 65m rolls.
  9. This is why you NEVER agree to do trademarked artwork...

    When you have intellectual property ™© ®, you gotta protect it. 1. The way the laws are here, any and all potential infringements have to be pursued, otherwise the company runs the risk of losing the protection. 2. Companies spend tons of money protecting their IP. While it may not seem of...
  10. How long does it take you to letter a truck?

    Might depend on how low they tried to get you to down to, while you said no.
  11. How long does it take you to letter a truck?

    Technically I have astigmatism. When the optician gives me glasses that "correct" for this, I can't accurately see parallel lines. Totally screws up cutting, fitting, hanging. So I have to explain to the eye specialist, that I really don't want or need this fix (that bit ain't broke, but the...

  14. just how many

    I've been know to use it to make supergloss prints, with a polyester (?cast?) optically clear laminate, then mounted to ACM with face mount adhesive. Mostly it's used for either retractable, or trade show 3D stands* - really good dimensional stability - * Can't think of the proper name for these.

    Couldn't agree more, love the transparency and interaction. If (a few years back) just over 50% of the UK hadn't voted to pull away from our largest trading partner, it might almost be worth considering (if I were a few decades younger, and far smarter). These days, shipping to Europe is an...

  20. Ink Usage Calculations

    Is 24x24" not four times larger than 12x12". Assumtion might be that it is only showing 100K rather than rich black, but red is M&Y?
