  1. Mouth opened before brain was engaged

    So I'm discussing with a customer about his wifes' new boutique, that is opening on black Friday. They waited until yesterday (Tuesday) to get signage. When I was describing the virtues of the sidewalk sign he wanted, I said that "It will last longer than your wifes' store." :Oops...
  2. perfect ending to the day!

  4. window perf tip

    Put down a thin strip of primer 94 around the outside perimeter of a window, let dry, then apply the perf. I have not had any edge curling after I started doing this.
  5. IJ 180C vs. IJ380

    I usually use the IJ180C-V3 and the 8518 laminate, has anyone used the IJ380 and 8580 film and laminate? Did they work any better? Any worse?
  6. Communication is the key

    I asked another company in town to hang a banner for me, they have the truck with the reach. I told them the name of the business to hang the banner at. Next day, I find out the banner was hung somewhere else. At my customers biggest competitor. ouch. So, written instructions, with a...
  7. Does anyone do regular printing as well?

    I'm talking about offset, or litho, or letterpress. Is it a compatible business, or do you think it should be its own specialization? I passed on a letterpress machine this weekend, one heck of a good price, just had no way to quickly organise a forklift and trailer.
  8. Start with the basics

    This is a little lesson I learned myself. Started printing on my versacamm and I noticed the color was wrong. Red was pink. hmmmmm.... Now, the machine the RIP is running on had recently gotten a new hard drive, everything reinstalled and the custom profiles reloaded as well. So I...

    Weird, both the Roland website, www.rolanddga.com, and scanvec amiable www.saintl.biz seem to be down for me, along with their auto update links out of software. Could someone either confirm or deny for me?

  12. Material for car wash interior

    Has anyone ever printed for the interior of an automated carwash? I'm wondering if floor vinyl and laminate would be expensive overkill, or would controltac and laminate be sufficient? Or something else? Thanks
  13. looking for packaging

    I am trying to find boxes for business cards and 8.5 x 11 flyers. Not shipping boxes, but the nicer type of boxes. My searching so far has led me to realizing I just don't know what terms to use.
  14. Intelligent pass control

    What is it exactly? I've read the info from Roland and I don't think they have done anything to the operation of the machines. I've been told by a Roland technician that it is nothing but a tweak to the profiles for Versaworks. I've not seen any difference in printing quality. So, can...
  15. Since SA will not answer my question,

    I'll throw it up here on the wall of shame. In Flexi Pro 8.6, and 8.5, in the advanced settings of the production manager, you cannot change the amount of passes for a given profile. You will get a nice error message that says it is not recommended. In earlier versions, such as 7.6, you...
