  1. Printer for Canvas Art

    This side of the pond, I'm seeing 4000's being 60-75% the cost of the 4100, from dealers, still with warranty. Different printheads (one on the 4100, two on the 4000), though the 4100 head costs less than two 4000's, and won't need as much alignment with itself (which is an end user activity...
  2. Printer for Canvas Art

    I've not heard of anyone running the Canon TZ-30000 for art printing, though they are using Canon Lucia pigment inks, it is a CMYK only machine. Probably capable of being dialed in with good profiles, won't match the image quality of the 4100. The Canon Lucia inkset on the 4100 should be good...
  3. I need to RELEARN color calibration and management

    Real World Color Management, Fraser et al. Peachpit 2005 Depending on which RIP your using, there may be decent training materials available on line. I'm looking into Caldera, to replace our very old Fiery xPress - sales rep quoted £1000+VAT for a days training, way more than the software...
  4. How to - calibration/color mgmt with Caldera and aq inkjet

    I was actually wondering if this would work for OP's 4000. Happy to set up new media, and build profiles - we chop and change around a lot of art materials (and banner, SAV etc), so it is part of the process. Tend to use the onsite media test image for the paper set up in the Canon utility, but...
  5. How to - calibration/color mgmt with Caldera and aq inkjet

    Sorry if this is a slight hijack. We're currently running an 8400 through Fiery xpress, profiles produced with xRite prolier using a rev D i1Pro, on a rather old macpro running high sierra. Great neutrals, smooth tonal transitions, but not fast enough for practical work. Had a sales call with a...
  6. How to make panels in Photoshop

    Alt F4. Or command alt shift eject on a full mac keyboard
  7. How do you remove Pylon or Post Signs that have become abandoned?

    Alaskans groveling harpists Sounds like a b-ark nightmare
  8. Just saying hello and asking your opinion/advice on a concept machine

    Very cool. Possibly silly sugestion, but if there were a camera involved, and a method to lay down a bar code, then could an airbrush be swapped in for the router, or run on a second mount using something like a waterjet gymbol to do spray work. Some sort of pin register, but then you might be...
  9. Have you ever?

    Finding three copies of a colleagues band's sheet music had been run off on Hahnemuhle Photorag 44", because the office laser was out of A3 paper. It's just paper. Removed the option to manage printers from their computer, and gave them a bill for the £240 roll of paper. My fault, underestimated...
  10. How do I attach a large wooden sign to building?

    It makes them a target for a quote board, and given how lazy some are, an easy target. I need justification for a framing gun.
  11. How do I attach a large wooden sign to building?

    At work there are two of us with dish washer licences. Every other lazy ****** leaves cups and dishes lying around.
  12. Laminator for acrylic?

    mostly provided by masochists, still.
  13. One man shop growing pains

    Not sure I want to do that again - once secret features become visible knowledge, the curious start finding restricted manuals, and then it becomes someone's job to lock down the systems. I seem to recall that it was possible page a hand set, with your own on mute, and initiate hands free on...
  14. One man shop growing pains

    You can still do that on our Cisco desk phones, like you could on the old Nortel BMS. Page to phone or zone, though I'm not sure that you can still make the paged handset become hands free. I've always kept my office and production somewhat separate from the main office, and had ownership of...
  15. One man shop growing pains

    A most undesired consequence of lock down was extending the phone system from the office to softphone apps on mobiles. The PoS system we've got doesn't distinguish ring tones in my old Ford, so calls come through on the way home, or at the weekend, and suddenly I'm back at work... And at the end...
  16. ISO Ideas for shop walls...

    Our side of the pond, exit is a specific green with the appropriate pictogram and arrow. I like the idea of both nature and local. I lookled around me, we have foxes, pigeons and weeds. Went for Munsell grey, but that's just colour control obsession.
  17. panel saw or track saw

    I'll agree with the wave on the utility blade, but I've shaved 2mm from edges of 2 and 3mm DiBond many times. You can even trim mounted prints if you carefully put them in facing away from you. Just have to go slow and steady, and make sure that you do regular maintenance, and use production...
  18. One man shop growing pains

    With the qwerty keys, I thought maybe a telex machine. About the right level of dust.

    I also want one, but what is that phone?
