  1. Help...I'm a dummy

    Client came in and I plugged his jump drive into my machine. (our e-drive) Viewed his stuff, pulled the jump without thinking, he's gone, and now I can get the "safely remove hardware" icon off my task bar. I've tried putting another jump in, and removing it correctly, no luck. Does anyone...
  2. Quick question about terminology.

    We are getting ready to wrap our shop truck. And of course I've been agonizing over the exact verbage I want on there. Here's my question: Is the word "wrap" so very understood by the public, that using that word on the vehicle would be easily connected to the idea of wrapping a vehicle with...
  3. New update to VersaWorks

    Fired up the RIP this morning and got a notice that there's an update available. It's been downloading for the last 10 minutes or so. Anyone know anything about it?
  4. Gerber users only.

    Was wondering if someone could help me with certain export settings. Seems when I export a file as a .tif or .bmp, there occurs quite a color shift when that same file is re-opened in say, PhotoShop. Is it all in the Black/White filter settings in the export dialog box? Can anyone tell me if...
  5. My first service experience with my Roland SP-540v

    Ok, had the tech out Friday. Was here about 4 hours after a one hour drive out from Portland, Or. Very, very positive experience! The tech, Sam, was very thorough and I learned some stuff I didn't know about my printer. He got it tuned and running so sweet! My machine had been running very...
  6. Font Id please

    Ok, it's not Cooper Black Italic, but what is it? Thanks in advance to you sharp eyed members.
  7. Help with flat screen monitor

    Got myself a new flat screen a year ago and love it. So I decided to get one for our second design station operator. But I can't seem to figure out how to get his display fixed so that the type is clearer. It appears to have a sort of "shadow" on it. I've used the tools drop down and...
  8. Printer head travelling too far. Help

    Ok, I'm brain dead, but for now I don't know why my printer head is travelling the width of the media (54") when it's only printing about 30" wide. This started yesterday when I had to "tile" some large prints. Can anyone help me out?
  9. Problem with a plug-in for Photo Shop

    Hello, are there any users of Blade Pro or Super Blade Pro by Flaming Pear out there? It's a effects program for PhotoShop. My question is about the .q9q files. These are pre-sets and I can't view them for some reason. Any help greatly appreciated.
  10. Self-taught or tutored in PhotoShop?

    Was wondering how many designers here have had instruction in PhotoShop? I'm learning it by self-teaching method and it's a slow go. Old dog, new tricks thing. Can do the basics, apply bevels/effects to letters, play with photos and stuff, but this is a very, very complex program, isn't it...
  11. Printing problem Roland 54

    Hope someone can steer me to root of this problem: Printing becomes "skewed" after running for a foot or so. Printing becomes blurry, also. Is this a printing head problem? Or a media feed problem, or what? Any help greatly appreciated. Machine one year old.
  12. Ohio signmakers?

    Just wondering if there's anyone on this great hailing from the great state of Ohio? North Central area?
  13. Stone in my shoe.

    In our little market, as I imagine in most areas, there are sign codes regulating signs as to size, permitted uses, mounting considerations, etc. But I continue to see "illegal" or non-conforming signs going up, all made by the competition. Whenever I go over to the City Hall of obtain...
  14. Machine running un-attended.

    Would like to know if my SP-540V Roland runs out of ink, do the heads "park" in a safe way, or is there risk of heads, lines, etc. drying up? I'd like to run it more un-attended, so to speak, but am afraid of damage if it should run out of ink. What experience do you have with this? Appreciate...
  15. I'm at a crossroads.

    Just received an offer from Roland to purchase a warranty on my SP-540V. It's been under the factory warranty for ten months now and will soon be out. (October) Gosh, nearly a year has flown by. Question is: Do I spend the two grand for 12 months of peace of mind? Or run bare, without it...
  16. Ok, dumb one about fonts

    Is there a way a person can get a one-time license to use a font? I need a particular font, but I'll only need it one time. Can I buy from someone this one-time use? Or, alternatively, can you buy a particular font at an attractive price somewhere? How do other members handle this sort of...
  17. storage ideas (capacity?)

    Well, we're digital printing now and boy we're filling up our puny little 20 gig server. Interested in learning opinions on what to buy. I'd like to really kick it up there. Ideas or suggestions?
