I too would have to say that Illustrator would be also on the list to learn. Photoshop would be fine for the smaller page size layouts and smaller banners but you may find the file size gets too large to do larger layouts and billboards with effects. If you design with Illustrator you don't...

I think looking at a laser printer is a must. You can use them for flyer runs, takeout menu, labels etc and the toner is way cheaper to run than the ink jet printers. If you only need a color laser and not a scanner and the extras, $300 can get a fairly good quality print and reasonably fast...

If all else fails with it you could make your self a projector screen. When they talk about screen gain on projection screens, it got me thinking..... Tried some reflective material and wow, if you have a weak bulb and want a better image try it if you have any reflective media around. Only...

All Graphic supplies had some. And discounted now. http://ags.allgraphicsupplies.com/Shop/Search/Default.aspx?ID=2008

More issues are when you are trying 3rd party inks and getting a profile to work with them. If you get good color now with the profiles you use, then you may be ok. If you are just looking at different media then you may have to try a few of the profiles you have to find the best match. It...

To only appreciate what you had, after it’s been taken away, means you would have never had the chance to enjoy it for free. The fight to get it back however….. Would not be so free. Not many Country’s have the rights our two Country’s have. I think you guys will have a good turnout. We end...

To have the vision to see in something, that you see can be done, to improve the look is a talent of it’s own. Then the layout and change of color shows what also can make a very average sign look like a million bucks. Thanks for taking time to post and inspire us.

Pat... I think it's a plant.... and I don't mean implant. But that's ok, she might think that's you in yours. Was going to say if you put you two together your would have "Bean there, done that" but I won't...

I think the biggest key is the ink you use. There are many ecosol inks that will dry up at different rates. Some times cheaper inks are just that, cheaper and there may be a reason for that. If you print every day with auto clean cycles you may not have issues. Leave sit for a couple days...

The new band line in the Magenta going the feed direction might be a dirty spot on the encoder strip. I have been reading a bit about similar look to your other banding or drop out look. Some have said that a heavy roll of media can cause this. By unrolling some of the media and less strain...

Can you measure the width? I have the old CJ 500 and still found the strip for it at my Roland dealer. May just be the same size as another but not listed.

Thanks again Royce, I am close to Edmonton and would like to know of some guys there that could do some of the jobs I can't do or don't have time for. Any names would be a big help down the road. When you say with UV do you mean coated with a liquid coat or are these laminated at that price...

Thanks bobcap, good to know that even if samples did not rub off under tap water that once outdoors came into play, they would not last. Thanks again Nate for taking time for your feedback. crystalclear, domed would not work as these are for a 1/2" rod. My plan is to use the slovent...

Just noticed the resistant part after that was mentioned. (thanks, been looking at a pile of sites) I would like to hear more on the one you used. Did you do anything to it after it was printed and did you try to contour it or just cut manually? How long would a print last before...

Here is another that says waterproof and 2 year. http://www.presslabel.com/page/PL/PROD/Waterproof/PSP-WLV8511BP I read about the inkjet type that were more the water resistant however they were saying the laser was better. The outdoor and handling is what I was worried about. Were the ones...

I have a run of 1000 (1 1/2" x 4") labels, that luckily, this customer has a budget of .60 to 1.00 per label. They want this to last as long as possible. So I plan on printing and laminating with a 1/4" overhang so that the label will have an extra 1/4" of clear to seal the edges. This...

Has anyone tried this type of waterproof label? If so how durable as far as rubbing off the image? This would be a cost alternative to the print, laminate and contour process when someone is looking for a low cost label. Sampe of label papers...

Not sure if you ever thought about doing it this way. You can get 2.5" circle 12 to a page>1000 sheets > about $120 So 12000 circle decal not laminated but laser printed with toner for under $200. If you did 20,000 you could buy the laser printer $320 Dell 2150cn and still make a few...

Does Sintra not warp if it gets too hot? If so you would think it would be bent out of shape if heat was the issue.

I thought I seen posts in the past that talked about laminate that looked burned. Might have been on window perf but simmilar result due to bad batch or wrong type for outside sun and heat. What was the laminate? And is the sun that much hotter when hitting that side compared to the other...
