  1. Need eye one help, or color management assistance

    We're using a Pantone Huey Pro for our monitors in our shop and it works very well to get similar colors from all monitors. Pricing was great, at just over 100 bucks from Fry's, and I have been very happy with it. All my monitors are Samsungs, and all 3 are less than a year old, but I did use...
  2. Would you use CHAT feature

    I'm already spending way too much time in the forums, adding a chat would be bad for business-LITERALLY!!! Awww, who am I kidding? I'd probably get in there to make some noise!!! Chris
  3. Versaworks users, why does the RIP program...

    I dunno if that's what causes it, b/c I have the same issue with cutcontour eps files. The sizing also changes and I haven't found a setting for it that affects that border. I know its not spacing around the cutcontour line, as I just ran a job last night with the same issues, there was a ¼ inch...
  4. digital cameras

    Lemme guess, a C2100Z? 10x optical zoom, takes incredible photos! Had one of them for years, its still going strong, but about 4 years ago I got a Nikon D70, which is one hell of a camera! And, with a 17~35mm lens, I can shoot patterns off cars with very little pincushion issues! Of course...
  5. will printed vinyl stick to printed coro yard signs?

    Easy-cheezy! Just stick 'em on, you'll be fine. It will most likely pull the ink off the corex where its stuck, but only if you remove the 3651... Chris
  6. Corel X3 Shadowing Questions

    I'll second this one, although I usually just export what I want an effect on as a PSD and let Photoshop handle the plugins, then import it back to Corel for finalization of the artwork. It works very well and IMHO looks cleaner and sharper when coming from photoshop (albeit, usually at 600 -...
  7. XC-540, Versaworks and an X-Rite DTP-41, anyone get it to work?

    Rooster, color is gray, its a DTP41B, came only with a USB cable. Signage, it shows up as a usb device only under USB devices in windows device mgr. Only COM port is COM 1, which is the physical port on the motherboard. I've emailed X-Rite a few weeks ago, didn't get a response, have sent...
  8. XC-540, Versaworks and an X-Rite DTP-41, anyone get it to work?

    Okay, got the above equipment and have been in contact with Roland about this issue. Seems Versaworks has a DTP-41 listed for measurement instruments, but not the newer (which is still an old unit!) USB version. Roland took over a week to get back to me, and after discussing it with their...
  9. Any luck printing on Sep Film?

    Here's an idea. Never tried it before for screen printing (yep, did that back in '90 for 3 years!), but it might work! I've printed on Oracal's 200M laminate before with good success (XC540 w/ecosolv). Black ink seems to be pretty opaque with one pass, and if you stuck the lam to a clear...
  10. Any luck printing on Sep Film?

    Hell, just halftone the art in Photoshop! Whatever linescreen you want it to be, just check with your screen printer on what he's comfortable with. You won't be able to do a double pass though, as it will most definitely not be accurate enough to lay the halftone identically on top of the first...
  11. I need a GOOD laminator-60"?

    Laminators are the scourge of the earth! And don't EVER buy a F#$%ing DingTec! 5 grand for the POS one that we got and it was returned in just over a month! Ruined so much vinyl that I still have nightmares about it!!! Unfortunately, we ended up with (yet) another Dingbat (my name for it), but...
  12. Exporting from corel color changes....

    Its always been a problem, especially if you're using spots or cmyk and having corel export as rgb. With certain settings, as GraphiXtreme showed, you can get it to look a bit closer to what you were working with, but the easiest way I've found (which isn't easy at all!) is to just work with...
  13. How Many Lefties Are In The House?

    Lefty here also...(NOT a goofy foot!)
  14. Do you have a graphics Degree?

    Wow! Glad I'm not the only one here who's an old fart in the field! Some of y'all make me feel young!!! Me? Started on a Mac IIcx in '88 under the wing of a somewhat known graphic artist in Honolulu. Moved on to typesetting at a local printshop, was also taught me to run that POS ABDick 360...
  15. MOV to AVI,MPG,Etc...

    Let me know how it works for ya, I've used it to rip divx vids to dvd's and it worked very well, as well as a bunch of wmv files to avi format. Chris
  16. MOV to AVI,MPG,Etc...

    WinAVI works very well to flip between different formats. Extremely easy to use too. Chris
  17. splash of color

    330" takes 10 hours? HOLY S#!%!!!!! I guess I should stop complaining about my XC540 taking 2 hours to print 18 feet then! I was threatening to run only Avery MP1005 through it from now on as it spits it out in low res at about a foot every minute or two!!! Chris
  18. how to remove a background

    BWAAHAAHAHAAAA!!!! Funny!!!!! Anyways, nobody has talked about using the freehand tool in draw yet! I usually just stitch around the image, go back and edit nodes so they are just a hair inside of the image, then get back to selection tool. My new curve should be selected, so I shift-select...
  19. Help with Font ID...again

    sorta like Serpentine or Concelian (by iconian fonts?)? Sorry, not the greatest in the font naming world... Chris
  20. Why is corel the underdog?!

    BWAHAAHAHHAAAA!!! I've convinced OldPaint to agree with me!!! My plan is working!!!! Now I'm gonna convert the rest of the world into using Corel X3 and Adobe Streamline 4 for everything vector!!!! MUAAAHAHAAAA!!!!
