  1. Using cleaning cartridges? Roland SP-540

    Does anyone know the proper procedure for using a cartridge? Can you simply insert one in the cartridge slot for the color you're having some dropout with. What command do you then use? How can you get the solvent to pump through? And assuming you can, do you then have another command to fill...
  2. A chance to upgrade...or not

    Distributor stopped by yesterday. They've taken in two nearly new Roland Sol-Jet Pro III XC-540V's in trade. (the seller upgraded to 72" machines). I'm currently running some older (2-3 years) equipment, namely a Roland SP-540V machine which I like very much. But the chance to upgrade has me...
  3. Baffling PhotoShop question

    Stuck on this one. I have inserted a photo I wish to use as a reflection map for a chromed letter effect I'm doing. I've saved that photo in the folder into which Eye Candy 4.0 goes to retrieve these. Eye Candy applies the photo into my lettering just fine, but only a small portion of the...
  4. Font ID please. (who'll be the first?)

    Seems like I should know this one right off the bat, but I'm drawing a blank. Any help?
  5. Need help editing process color in Omega

    Can anyone explain the steps necessary to permanently edit certain process colors in Omega 2.6? I want to be able to select from the pallette a Black for example, but have that Black be automatically 35-35-35-100 in the CMYK model. (rather than the standard 0-0-0-100) I've poked around in...
  6. Font ID please

    I know it's late in the day. But any sharp-eyed signmakers out there yet?
  7. Sp-540 stopping mid-print

    This is happening more and more often. Called Roland tech and he said it's not the RIP or the machine. It's my computer. He says I may have too many programs running simultaneously. But we've been running this same CPU for 2 years and the problem is only now happening. Is there a way to check...
  8. How to do it in PhotoShop

    I'm trying to blur the edges of a photograph so that the photo doesn't end abruptly against it's background. I know this should be simple, and I've searched the Help menu, but it's difficult when you don't know the proper word to search under. Is it called Blurring? I doubt it. I have PS...
  9. Font I.D. please

    I know this one, but am brain dead. Maybe a cup of joe will help. Back in 5 minutes. lol.
  10. Univers 65 bold and Univers 55 roman

    So we've got this job that requires the signs to match an architect's specifications. And the fonts he's specifying are those above. My question is does anyone know where these can be acquired as free fonts? Or alternatively, do they match fonts by a different name? We've got thousands and...
  11. Omega users

    Quick question... How is it possible to change "page size" when exporting .eps files to the RIP program? In other words if I output a square that measures 12"x12", my RIP program (Versaworks) sees the shape as 12.4" x 12.4". I've looked in the options tab of my export filter but don't see...
  12. This is a Gerber Omega font, correct?

    Since I'm running Omega 2.6 I should think I'd have it. But maybe it's not a Gerber font. Just looks familiar, that's all. Anyone know the name of it? (the script in Interstate)
  13. Question for Omega users

    Weird thing happening. If I create a simple shape in Composer and export it as an .eps file. Then import and open that same file in Corel, I notice there is another shape underlying it. It's identical. I think this problem (which only recently began) is related to cutting issues I'm having...
  14. Downforce cutting pressure for Roland SP-540V

    I'm contract print/cutting some Reflective material for another shop. It's also getting a laminate. The test prints and cuts I've made indicate that at speed 15 and downforce of 135gf, I'm not quite cutting through cleanly. It weeds but not well. My question is, does anyone know what the upper...
  15. How do you conduct business?

    Both of you standing, with a counter between you? Or sitting down across from each other over a desk? We've always been "counter" types. But on a previous thread I noticed someone mentioned the client being seated, so it got me to wondering. What are the pros and cons of each?
  16. We need a trimmer. Is this one a good one?

    The attached file shows a trimmer (63") that a sign supply house would like to sell me. He says they can hardly keep them in stock. Yeah, I know, they're from China, but are they any good? Anyone use one like this. Sorry for the low quality, but that's all I've got.
  17. Another font ID please

    The font used for Dippin Dots, anyone know? Or is a designed layout? The attached file is a bit low on quality.
  18. Substitute for Souvenir Bold? Something close?

    Is there something I could use in a pinch for Souvenir Bold?
  19. Versaworks users, why does the RIP program...

    ...insist on putting some sort of "weed border" or space around the image? I've checked all of the settings that I can think of. It didn't used to do this, only recently started. I'm sure I must have "ticked" a setting somewhere, but where? In case I haven't been plain about this. Example: I'm...
  20. PhotoShop 7.0 doing something weird! Help.

    The attached file shows the resultant image when I open an .ai file that I've created in my drawing program. PhotoShop distorts some of the lines. It's random, too. It's only been doing this since yesterday, but it's driving me nuts. Straight lines not connected. Sometimes straight lines go...
