I've been watching too much engineering pron recently, that almost made sense. I don't have a welder, or metal decent metal cutting facilities, but would Scotch tape work? And, where can I get his tape dispenser from? I've got a poster from gemini with about 40 of the standard fonts. 90% of...

There was (is) a quirk in Photoshop that set the default for image size to pixels/cm, so persons would send me ditmap files to print 6.5 times too large. Recent show, one of the artists confused output dimensions, cm rather than mm. Sent me a set of 21GB 16bit files. For 8x10" prints...

Kind of Dr Strangelove meets monsters' Inc. Pablo Ferro had seriously cool typographical skills, and just realised he did the titles for Stop Making Sense. Not great for a billboard at 65mph.

Sounds less expensive than the reputable least expensive dentist.

If you've told them when you sold it to them (or someone else sold it to them) that it is a short term banner, then this isn't a support call, it's a sales opportunity. Catch me on a quiet 5-10 minutes, I'll give support; you want half an hour (or three) of my time to make something work, then...

We're currently $7.66 per gallon for diesel, $7.35 for unleaded here in the UK. We've had 5-15% per quarter rises on printing materials for the last nearly three years. And over the last couple of years we've been seeing additional rises on the same materials your being hit with. Very different...

Sometimes they ain't sleeping I've known people who've gone from family and house, to divorce > coronary > jobloss > streets > shelter > flat > back to living life. That mid stage was hardest.

I've got the new composite head on my steeltrak. Still subtle rollover, so if you're looking for a completely perpendicular edge, you might want want to consider the noise and muck from a good track saw with the correct blade. I (and my clients) don't have a problem with the very subtle roll at...

If you're not printing day/week in and out, then from what I understand, there is a big advantage with aqueous. I had no concerns about our Canon Ipf when we closed for over 2 weeks this Christmas. Another advantage of the Canon is that the rolls load from the front, rather than over the top...

I love it when they bolt training wheels onto your sportster. Are you still getting the i1? Looks like you'd get a double boost in colour fidelity - new rip and new spectro.

I've gone from an Epson 10000 >9800 > Canon 8300 >8400. Output results between modern Canon and Epson machines are virtually indistinguishable, and they will all print on the same media. For what you're doing, I'd definitely go for a take up roll - unattended printing is a joy I long for. I've...

I1 Profiler will certainly help to get the best from the printer. Slightly steep learning curve, and the software documentation is slightly limited, but well worth the investment I'm not in front of my real screen, but on my 2021 MBP, pantone 193 sure looks kinda pinkish to me. But now I look...

In my years of producing photographic exhibitions, correct, rather than high pressure has produced good results. We are a small outfit, and don't yet run roll to roll. For critical results, we'll use a premium adhesive to a premium substrate, and the laminate is first applied to the print media...

The bit you roll out is now almost trash. Use it like a towel to bet lint dust and hairs off your clothing and work area. Also, any time you pause the application of the adhesive for more than a few seconds, you can develop a ridge where the adhesive is leaving the roll. The old saying - a...

We've had this problem repeatedly, going back a dozen years. Some rolls, you see piping in the edge of the adhesive roll - you know these flaws are going to go on in the rest of the roll. Before using an even slightly suspect roll, roll out a few metres (sticky up!) on a bench, and have a look...

We use Drytac protac lustre (looks like being replaced by Interlam Pro Lustre) on Canon IJM538 (we're aqueous only). A good cross between gloss and matt. Result looks like a lustre photographic print, but with no texture. Dead matt really kills the depth of colours and saturation for me - even...

I was thinking of the non-oem percussive maintanance utility, next to the coffee cup (10317750). Nothing sinister there.

What does the edge of the roll feel like - smooth or does it snag a cotton glove the way a sand paper would? Either way, that sort of dust, beyond the first wrap of paper isn't right. But it also doesn't hurt to vacuum in the evening and mop the printroom floor in the morning, to help keep the...

With one handy implement, both the Mac Pro and the cutter know never ever to misbehave. Assuming some one in the office is left handed.
