I don't know if your software does it or not, you'd have to check with the people that use it (is it Laserworks or RDCam?), but mainstream lasers can certainly do 3D, you can do amazing things with grain patterns, etc. It essentially modifies the power on the fly and applies varying levels of...

Some of the Anchor products are marketed as laser safe. Just check the spec sheets for it. As long as it doesn't have PVC in it, you should be good.

Adrian, glad to see you're up and running! Apply transfer tape to the face before engraving and it'll make the area around the engraving nice and clean.

Fred isn't far from us, we've been using his cutters for years now. We've never had poor results from anything we've gotten from him.

Does anyone know if you can cut thinner width materials on the S140? I have a piece of customer supplied material that's 6" wide and maybe 8-10 ft long. Can I cut that on that machine? If so, how do you get around the rollers, since it's 4 of them and it wants to read all 4? Two rollers is all I...

Just a FYI, 3M has a wall test kit that's free, as far as I know. It comes with a scale, a bunch of test strips and the instructions on how to test the materials on various surfaces and various materials. It's basically strips with a loop in them of the materials, you stick it to the wall, hook...

I didn't mean to imply he's not a great designer. He just mentioned that he's in the mentality of pushing through the crap work, day after day. I only mentioned what I did because people like Dan and Dan have helped me change the mentality I had, which was very much the same thing, and it's been...

What does my work have to do with anything? I could produce wonderful or horrific things. How's that change the fact about this layout at all? It's a journey for me, we're going from "we don't design anything" to starting to offer design work, which we hire out to designers, so my work isn't Dan...

I wouldn't dare consider Grandpa Dan or Dan Antonelli arrogant. I don't believe it's arrogant to care about my customer more than they care about their own image. I'm actually kind of proud of the fact that I try my best to deliver things to a customer that they never thought about. Most small...

Free lifetime warranty against fading on decals?

I printed a few tries, some better than others. The document I have been provided is a Photoshop document, at 1/10 scale. I did the gradient in Illustrator and put it in Photoshop as a smart object, exported as a tiff, scaled it in Onyx and printed. It's better than anything before, but it's...

I wouldn't say I only do master pieces, but I actually do turn down work because of the art work provided is horrific and I don't want our name associated with it. I turned down a fairly large project not long ago. I told them I wouldn't print it. They said "You can't, or you won't?". I said "I...

Yeah, but then when someone says "Hey Man, who lettered your truck?", they won't say "My nephew designed it and Jeff installed it", they'll say "Jeff, he did a great job", and the person he's talking to will say "Well, I know who I don't want to design my trucks" to themselves. That's your name...

Don't kid yourself, that was a fluke :)

My issue on that last post seems to be because I was in CMYK. When I switched the document mode to RGB, the gradient instantly smoothed out.

Thanks guys, I'm trying all the suggestions. I'd be happiest myself to use Illustrator and I can do that, by just replacing his layer with a smart object, but here's what I get when I used the blend tool. What am I doing wrong? I put in 8 steps, up to 1000 steps, and all I get is pink in the...

We have a customer supplied file that has a gradient in it. The base color is red, then they did a layer on top of it that's a black gradient, to give it a fade from black to red. I printed a swatch as a proof and noticed banding in it and thought it was a printer related issue until I looked at...

Gemini, Matthews Bronze, or ARK Ramos.

That's funny- very well done. I see he's got another one making the rounds today that's pretty good too... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-0TEJMJOhk
