  1. UV Printer & Prints Making us Sick

    Technically correct, however the 'chains' in UV ink will still cure over a longer time than the few seconds they are subjected to UV LEDs. A good article on UV inks for anyone interested: https://www.nazdar.com/Portals/0/NewsItems/Articles/20QuestionsAboutUVCuring-BeaPurcell.pdf
  2. PDF page size issues

    Thanks, we get the exact same behaviour so at least I'm comforted that it's not just me. I have sorted out the workaround so we should be fine from now on. We would have gone Inkscape instead of Corel, however PLT support was discontinued some time last year when the plugin author sadly passed...
  3. PDF page size issues

    Figured it out... for some reason dragging files into Corel treats it as an Import rather than Open procedure, leading to the default page size being used. Very annoying as I like to drop multiple jobs in at once and get working. I have to re-train myself to use the File -> Open menu now which...
  4. PDF page size issues

    I'm very new to CorelDraw... we require it for a new machine as Illustrator cannot export PLT files. The biggest issue I'm having is that when we open PDF files, it seems to ignore the page size completely and uses A4 as the default. Is there any way to configure it so Corel will set the page...
  5. Google Sheets

    Sounds like you need to read up on VLOOKUP.
  6. Time machine

    I noticed this happen a week ago... It wouldn't let me post in that particular thread until the time had elapsed to a point after that particular time. Very weird.
  7. What printing process and material would you use?

    The laminate only covers the print side of the vinyl, the existing adhesive side will still be used to adhere the graphic to the substrate. Lamination will add durability and resistance to scratching and provide additional UV protection to make the prints last longer before fading.
  8. Opinion Wall Substrate cutter, Recommendations?

    We have a Keencut Steeltrak: https://www.keencut.com/product/steeltrak/ It's very similar to the Fletcher and works well.
  9. How to Enlarge shutterstock images for large wall murals

    I was referring to the person above me who quoted a 5 year old post.
  10. How to Enlarge shutterstock images for large wall murals

    You realise this was posted 5 years ago... I'm sure the job is either complete or dead by now.
  11. Are VP540 and VP540i Parts Interchangeable?

    Improvements in the "i" model: http://web.archive.org/web/20100116153309/http://rolanddg.com.au/pr_vpirelease.asp Nothing at all to do with internet capability. Any printer with an ethernet port is internet capable.
  12. Neon tube partially lights NEED HELP

    My first thought was the same... new transformer not outputting enough.
  13. News Q&A With the founders of FireSprint: Our start from a basement sign shop to $5 million in revenue!

    Will this be kept up after the stream is over? It's at an inconvenient time half a world away, but would still like to view it if possible.
  14. Windows 10 display

    Could also be Dark mode... Settings -> Personalization -> Colors, then change from Dark to Light.
  15. Question How to get a better profile? Epson s80600, Onyx Thrive 19 and Xrite i1 Profiler

    We do exactly what yannb does... minus the IDF part as we were never told about this tool. I want it now, as I always guess the IDF percentage based on another profile. If you follow these instructions, you should get extremely good profiles.
  16. Question How to get a better profile? Epson s80600, Onyx Thrive 19 and Xrite i1 Profiler

    If you're using the Epson Contone profiling workflow, there is no linearization required or even possible. I much prefer this over the Onyx workflow anyway. It's simpler and gives us better results. I've compared gamut plots back to back and we get a wider range and smoother dot pattern than the...
  17. Onyx 21 Sputtering with HP 360

    Onyx shouldn't be behaving in this way at all. We run X21 in a VM for portability reasons and it absolutely flies. A recent job of 9m (30ft) x 1.37m (4.5ft) ripped in 31 seconds... certainly not slow at all.
  18. I require your expertise in helping solve my gradient issue

    Agreed. Print preview in Onyx can be deceiving. Print a sample at 10% size, or crop out the gradient part and just print that and see how the actual output looks. Don't always trust the preview to get it right.
  19. Roland XC and RF

    Yes, that should work fine... if you use VersaWorks the crop marks will be the same so you can print on the RF and cut on the XC. If you use another RIP, just make sure you use Roland marks during print and cut process.
