    So we've been doing contract printing for this service agency for a few years. Always been good, no problems other than than the margins are slimmer than with our own customers. But that's a off-set because we don't have to do artwork, send proofs, deal with the end client, etc. Now they've...

  3. How to drop the Roland Color System Library into Gerber Omega Composer?

    Does anyone know of a way to drop the Roland color swatches into Composer? Or are we simply up against Gerber's "closed" software policies? I know that my Corel X5 will do it. I have Omega 4.0, not the latest 5.0. I'm hoping there is a way. Any experts out there?

  8. New machine arriving Tuesday. Need to know which ink configuration I want. Help!

    Purchased the new VSi from Roland. Now they tell me that configuring the machine CMYK x2 results in much faster print speeds. But if I go with CMYK Lm, Lc, Lk, I get better greys, and colors, correct? Now, we don't do any Giclee prints or anything, but I've been told that my old machine...

  13. Prepping alupanel, DiBond, etc. for painting?

    We generally use a Scotchbrite pad or similar to scuff the surface of these panels. Then prep with Rapid Prep. But I've noticed that the paint is not always as bonded as I'd like. What do others do here? I'd like to top coat in Bulletin enamel. Is a primer necessary? Hopefully the painted...

    I run a dual monitor setup for layout/design. Just replaced a 19" monitor with a 24". Somehow it feels like I'm being swallowed whole by it. Love it. Samsung $150 at Costco. What about others? What is your setup?
