  1. Gas below $3 per gallon in New Jersey, how about by you...

    AUD$1.45/L which works out to USD$5.22/gallon.
  2. Restriction by Chroma vs Total Ink Limit

    In Caldera the total ink limit is expressed in terms of printer output capacity, so if the channels were restricted to 80/80/80/80 then the maximum would be 320% and I'd be looking for a total ink limit of at least 160%.

    Yeah it stays on (with UPS backup too).
  4. Restriction by Chroma vs Total Ink Limit

    I've been on a profiling journey since installed Caldera last week. I've read some helpful info on here today about restricting by measuring chroma which is simple enough in Easy Media. The result however of using peak chroma is that the necessary ink limit breaks Caldera's suggested rule...
  5. Post your worktable/workspace!

    I've got one 5x10' steel-framed bench with laminated glass top, but it weights about 1000lb (literally). I have another two 5x10' timber-framed tables with acrylic tops. They're on castors so we can make a 5x20' or 10x10' table for large tiled signs. The only large self-healing mats I've found...
  6. HP Scitex FB500, FB700 third party ink possibility

    I got offered a stack of FB250 inks at less than 1/3 my normal price, but they were 2 years out of date. Not worth any potential warranty issues IMO.

    I switch mine off at the base when not in use which has really saved on ink wastage. It still does automatic cleaning a few times a day so I don't believe it could do any harm having it off (rather than standby) the rest of the time.
  8. Converting from Illustrator to Word

    We've had a few clients that we've designed letterheads for ask us for the same thing. After many hassles we just supplied them with a JPG of the letterhead that they can paste into the DOC header.
  9. It just wont gel together

    A much better result, well done.
  10. Anyone using Sign-Tracker??

    If you've only got enough jobs to be able to keep them in your head then it's probably not worthwhile, but if you've got 200 jobs on the go then it would be impossible to do without it. It only works out to be around than 0.1% of our monthly overheads anyway. Even for a small shop it might be 5%...
  11. Avery MPI 1005/ HP L25500 grief

    I can't offer you any specific help unfortunately, but when I had my L26500 installed I was using Avery MPI1005 EZRS at the time and the consultant was having great difficulty profiling the media. I believe it was with the ink limits but I can't recall specifically. I had been considering...
  12. Material/Installation for Billboard type sign?

    I would also do it as a banner skin with kedar edges and affix with aluminium sail track. Just get the aluminium powdercoated to either match the building or sign background.
  13. Logo for my new business

    Besides the numerous grammatical errors I don't mind it. It wouldn't appeal to any of my client groups, but for retail vehicle stickers, motorcycle, showcars, racecar wraps and the like, it'll have an appeal. That would also fit in well with your other vehicle accessory products. Ditch the "we...
  14. high production printing cost on HP Latex printer

    About 10.76 times higher I reckon!
  15. Foster Keencut SteelTrak Anyone have? Anyone recommend?

    We've had one for 4 years and it worked great at first, but stopped functioning well after about a year. As the pads behind the clamping bar loose grip, you have to push on the handle more to keep the sheet in position. Over time this actually bends the uprights, so the V-groove bit is set to...
  16. MIRROR TINT for building glass.

    Except that frosted film hides dust underneath quite well, mirror tint highlights it!
  17. Bubbles in groove

    In my experience even if you can get it sit down for a day, it'll continue to be a problem.
  18. I know there's no perfect printer, but help me get close...

    I already posted my opinions in your other topic, but my experiences reflects some of those above. I've had Rolands for 6+ years and still have 2 XC540s, but have had a HP L26500 for about 9 months and wouldn't dream of printing my wraps on anything else (actually I print 90% of my signs on the...
  19. Suggestions for starting a Roland print shop with Caldera rather than VersaWorks.

    I'm surprised at your choice of printer for purely printing wraps. Having 2 Rolands and a HP Latex I would never bother printing wraps on the Rolands again, the Latex is much more suited in a number of ways. It'd be worth speaking with ProWraps if you haven't already made a decision, I believe...
