  1. Avery 1005 EZ RS profile for Roland?

    Hello, Does any one either have a link to the ICC profile for Avery 1005 EZ RS material on our Versacamm VP-540, or can you recommend a profile that we could use instead? I've looked on Avery's website, but they don't appear to have one for this combination.
  2. Print distortion?

    Hi Has anyone come across this phenomenon? We've printed some 8' long decals and have noticed that the print appears to be deflecting in the middle. I don't think it's a tracking issue as it seems to come back into line at the end of the print. On items with a white background it's hardly...
  3. Laminating

    Greetings! We have a cold laminator that meets our needs. I've noticed that if you stop the laminator mid-way through a print, you sometimes see a pressure line where it's stopped under the rollers - this is more noticeable on darker colored backgrounds. My belief is that this will go away...
  4. Type of vinyl for temporary prices on vehicles

    Greetings! Can anyone recommend a suitable vinyl for this - the large prices that the dealers are putting down the side of their new vehicles "$23,000", etc. I would assume that it needs to be a vinyl that can be removed fairly easily and without damage? Thanks!
  5. Multiple eps files?

    Greetings! I've noticed when exporting an eps file from Coreldraw X3, I occassionally end up with several eps files e.g. I save as "test.eps", but end up with "test-1.eps", "test-2.eps" etc. This seems to happen if I export as a Postscript 3 file, but not as a level 1 or level 2. Any idea...
  6. Terminology & supplier?

    Greetings! Being a european import, I know them as tabards - you know, the slip-over vests like your friendly Walmart employee wears! What are they known as in N. America, and can anyone recommend a good supplier of inexpensive printed versions - either in Canada, or who will deliver here...
  7. Dry erase laminate

    Does anyone know if dry erase laminate deteriorates as it gets older? We have an 'a' board we covered with some laminate we had in stock (don't know how old it is) and although it worked fine in our shop, the customer has reported that after being outside for a few days, the writing is...
  8. Not much to go on

    Greetings! Not much to go on, but can anyone ID these two fonts? Thanks in advance!
  9. Magnifying thingy

    Greetings! Stealing the image from GypsyGraphic's post a few days ago, I need one of these magnifying thingys. Any suggestions as to where, and what are they actually called? The type shown is exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!
  10. LG xign

    Greetings! Anyone else using LG's Xign banner material? We've used it in a few roll-up stands as it's advertised as a no-curl material. So far so good, and it sure prints nicely. Just wondered if anyone else has used it?
  11. Rant about Illustrator

    Firstly, I know it's me - all part of the learning curve, etc. But Illustrator (CS4) seems to irritate the heck out of me - it seems so clunky. Nothing seems to do what I want it to do, it seems to never select the item I want and at this point in my experience trying to get to grips with it I...
  12. Inventory-free T-shirts and merchandise

    Greetings! As one of my outside interests, I serve on the board of our local SPCA. I'm trying to locate a place that we can order custom printed garments, etc, for us to sell without having to carry an inventory - I'm sure I've seen this kind of set-up somewhere? Can anyone point me in the...
  13. End of year inventory?

    Greetings! As many of us have our business year end approaching, a quick check on vinyl inventory may be required. This simple calculator should suffice - enjoy! VinylCalc
  14. Illustrator file

    Greetings! I have a question regarding the legitimacy of asking the question...? We have a legal bona fide copy of Illustrator CS4. However, when installing from the DVD, the installer is reporting that the "AdobeFontsAll" cab file is damaged. Sure enough, the disk has a few blemishes though I...
  15. No Smoking signs

    Greetings! Looking for a hundred or so table-top "No Smoking" signs suitable for placing in hotel rooms. Maybe the 'tent' style or something in a stand? Any ideas on a supplier - north of the border would be great... Thanks in advance
  16. Table stands

    Greetings! Can anyone suggest a source for small table stands like this? This one looks like folded .060 styrene, and is about 2¾" wide x 4¼" high. Doesn't have to be identical, but something similar? Need about 100 of them. Thanks, Graham
  17. Huey & Coreldraw

    I realize color management is a complex subject but I have a basic question - if I use a Pantone Huey to calibrate my monitor, should I turn on or off color management in CorelDraw (X3)?
  18. Acrylic to lexan?

    Greetings! We have to replace some acrylic panels in an existing sign - a pair of which currently have rigid acrylic (Gemini type) letter tracking affixed. Does anyone know if we replace panel with polycarbonate (Lexan) instead of acrylic, can we still use Weldon to affix the new tracking? If...

    Greetings! I'm tearing my hair out trying to ID this font - can anyone help? Many thanks.
  20. Anyone want an HS15 manual?

    We're having a tidy up (!) and I've got a brand new unbound User's Manual for the Gerber HS15 plotter. Anyone want it for the cost of the postage?
