Phototex is great stuff, we love it. However if you're doing a permanent install on a rough wall, like brick or cinderblock or something like that, we've gotten really great results out of 3M 8624.

We use 3M 3662 with 3M 3647, which is the specific laminate that goes with it. The stuff is not cheap, but it gives you a pretty good image and it's as close to indestructable as you're likely to find in a solvent-printable material. You might not need to go as upmarket as that, but I suppose...

Check the flyout menu on the upper right corner of your character palette. See if "Show Options" is the first item. If it is, click on that and it should show you the widgets to adjust the width and height of live text.

I can honestly say it's bad. I worked for the better part of a month trying to get a decent saturated white out of that machine for a (very lucrative) potential contract that we very nearly fumbled because the machine is simply not up to the task. It sounds like the guys you work with have...

Lots of good thoughts and feedback here, thanks everyone. Redundancy came up a great deal, and I'll admit that I sometimes get a bit of tunnel vision and don't focus on the advantages of what I've already got in an effort to improve things. Again, I appreciate the feedback everyone.

Don't do it. The whites you get from that particular system are weak, highly translucent, and they have a strong blueish cast. Understand that I love the JV33, it's a fantastic printer, but the white sucks on that machine. If you really need white that badly, invest in a UV printer. That...

Looks kind of like Trajan Bold, but that's a pretty blurry sample. It's hard to be sure.

All the RIP stations in our shop are basically the same. 32 bit operating systems, 4 gigs of RAM, decent dual core processors. Outside of the odd 30' mural that I've had to feed into a machine at 100dpi, I personally don't notice jobs taking too long to process . In the opinion of anyone...

Ah, see? We didn't have all the information. Is the machine still under warranty? If it is, you might be able to make a case for them covering the cost of all the wipers that it's eating.

That's a fantastic design. Now, a card like that used to mean that you'd have to have a custom die made, which ain't terribly cheap. Things in the printing industry have changed pretty significantly over the past few years, so you'll have to check with your vendor to see what their procedure...

The font is Tekton, which is fairly common. Might even be on your machine already. As for the fish, if you want to get a little CSI, look at the water around the tail of the fish, that messy zig-zagging. I'll bet you that was set up in less than five minutes on whatever machine it was that did...

You ended up with a rootkit on your machine after the scene release of CS, didn't you? I'm from the Internet, I know bitterness when I read it.

The thing that concerns me about budgeting on a wiper is that this is a component that touches the most important parts of the most important machine in your shop. Print heads cost thousands of dollars to replace. Spring for the OEM wipers.

You'd probably want a UV printer (since they print on just about anything) and you need to be real sure that its got a media-feed setup that's strong enough to pull a sheet of lumber. That would probably mean that you need something with a belt-drive on it, but I'm not 100% sure.

I'm curious, how much money would you save by using a 3rd party wiper?

I get the idea that there's still some kind of 64-bit encryption passkey on it, and I further assume that you get one of these activation keys in exchange for your old CS2 serial number, but how exactly they're planning to keep you or me or anyone else from taking their new CS2 activation key...

Here's what's going on. Adobe is shutting down the product-activation servers for CS2. What this would mean for legacy users is that if you tried to install your old CS2 on a new machine, it'd never switch on since the software is searching for a verification server that's no longer there...

Google SketchUp will let you dump whatever you've designed to a raster file, and you should probably be able to vectorize the result pretty easily. Blender is also free, however there's a reason it appeals to people who are really into Linux. Don't get me wrong, it's an absolutely fantastic...
