  1. Galaxy Note as a tool

    I've had Samsung phones since the S3. Then made the jump to the Note 5 and have been on the note series ever since (Sans the Note 7). Currently on the Note 8 patiently waiting for the N10. Best, most used/useful, device I've had for years now. I've even given my team here at the shop demos to...
  2. Roland...Page Space? (not enough media fed out before it cuts)

    bayviewsignworks I also forgot to add, If you have a sheet that is already printed that you are getting that "Crops not found" error, you can also tape an extra piece of media to the end. Just make sure the tape is flat and also tape the bottom of the seam too, so it does't get caught on the...
  3. Roland...Page Space? (not enough media fed out before it cuts)

    In order to clear that rear sensor, the sheet needs about 5-6 inches (The exact size may be slightly smaller). So you may want to go in and set the defaults for the job (or the queue) to be a minimum of 180mm. It will make sure to clear the sensor (and it make it a bit more forgiving when my...
  4. Adobe Air Dead?

    I remember the days of flash. And flash games. And the onset of the infamous loading screens lol. I could never get a handle on ActionScript. "Why is HTML5 better than Flash? We communicate in an increasingly mobile way, and because Flash cannot outfit the mobile demands of modern business...
  5. Artwork Proofing

    We just send PDFs. Embedding jpgs increases file size and makes emailing problematic. As far as "locked" PDFs. it just a deterrent. Any savy person can crack a locked document. But IMO all the security and time wasted to protect a proof is a waste. If your client is on the level where they will...

  7. A bit confused ... not sure how I should feel

    It is this type of thinking that will get us through. Just taking the time to pause and think and take into consideration the view point of other people and cultures. The biggest problem, IMO, is the we all see the world through our own prisms. This very fact often prevents us from understanding...
  8. Touching up scratches on your graphics.

    We keep the rainbow pack of sharpies close at hand just for this reason. Do not have to match exactly. As long as it isn't stark white, the eye is not drawn to the flaw.
  9. Small rant

    "ALL THE FONTS..." :rolleyes:
  10. Streaking / Banding?

    1) Regarding streaking: Thoroughly clean your encoder strip with 70 or 90% isopropyl alcohol. 2) Regarding fisheyes: Check profile. Are you using a media specific? Or generic? Try the generic for the that media type (E.g. Generic Banner 1, Generic Vinyl 1) Or for the paper, I use Roland DGA SGP...
  11. FlexiSign Pro 8 importing AI file

    Maybe I'm missing something? Why do you need to bring it into Flexi? II'm probably stating the obvious here. You should be able to do any edits in illustrator. export a pdf or eps and then bring into your rip, no problem.
  12. Do you clean the stucco after changing the channel letters

    Its very interesting to see the varying opinions here. When it comes to removal "Patch and Paint" has been an option on every work order since I started in this biz in the 90s. If you and your team don't know how to repair/clean up walls after removal of signage, you should consider learning and...

  15. Need Help Setting up tiles in Illustrator

    +1 for overlapping art boards. What I've done in the past is this: Start new AI PDF Document. No art at this stage. Set up overlapping art boards as needed that are just about the width of the media by a little longer than than project. For example 48" x 150". Save this doc, as you can use it...
  16. Any advice for two sided sticker with adhesive on front for auto or store front inside mount

    Just print revered and the right facing image is "adhesive faced"
  17. Cutting & Weeding Controltac 180

    zillion29 We print and cut a bunch of this stuff also. This stuff is not designed to "rip weed". The adhesive is just too gummy for it to work that way, IMO . Now you can "fast" weed if that makes sense. Just choose the direction/angels of your pull according to what works best for the art. If...
  18. IDEA: Reverse Print Cut with White Laminate

    M D Gourley glad you figured this one out. FYI this has been around for a while. Roland actually release a "book" with this and a ton of other tips back in 04' (I think). Google it. Search "Taking-the-Mystery-out-of-Print-Cut". It will probably take you right to a PDF of the book. There is some...
