Glad you stuck to your guns, but hey, you didn't lose a good job because it isn't a good job, they simply are not going to pay & they are only going to get what they pay for so let them have goofy looking trucks.

Welcome back Arlo, have a great Christmas!

Good deal Mike, I am glad I helped a little, bidding quantity low always is tempting especially if things are slow, I think some jobs, I am just not meant to get. I had to use my "list idea" on a producer for Lionsgate Films for a movie I was working on, I was shocked how quickly he turned...

Here is what I would do, go to the table armed with facts, make a list of what it takes to get the graphics on the vans for the long term, tell them with your install they will have a hard time telling the difference between a 3 year old van & a new one if the install is done right, make a list...

I like "sign & display", I get nicer blacks & colors, I think it uses more ink but I charge for prints so it's not really not an issue. Print a couple of jobs out using the different settings & see what works for you. Some people make their own profiles, this may also work for you.

Your media is measured by the outer most pinch rollers, the machine doesn't "see" your media, it uses the outer pinch rollers, you have to put the outer most rollers as close to the edge as possible, I usually figure at least 1 inch on each side for the rollers to grab, that would be my media width.

What I would do is get a copy of Windows & Parallels, If you load Windows on with Parallels, you command tab between programs, windows runs on my Mac like any other program does, just have them buy you a copy of windows & parallels, & you can just have one station, I just make sure I never surf...

:Big LaughTroy will be Superbowl MVP, YHAT AIN'T NO JIVE!

Darkdragon, you bought a sub standard piece of equipment that is driving you crazy out of the gate, then you came on here and asked for help on something that few if any professionals have seen or used, so you get jabbed in the ribs about it in a help forum & wonder why. If you would have bought...

Macbook Pro, nice machine! I love mine. 15"

40 foot Altec on a GMC 3500

Tell him to give you a tiff file 100 dpi full size, if they have cut lines, have him place it over in illy, this should solve your problems.

I use fontographer, when I create a logo for a business, I make a font with the logo in it, all they have to do is type the letter "a" & it shows up in a document, some people love it.

Restart everything & try again, if not maybe reload the program

First off, you are on the right track as far as a computer, I run a 24" imac & it rocks for making signs, & as you well know,it just runs & runs, no fuss no muss, (there are 4 other Macs on my network & they all run the same) I run Parallels with windows xp to print on a VP 540, You can Command...

I did a bunch of those with no caps, no problem, just bolt it on & leave it, that's what I do, sometimes if it is being viewed at eye level I put caps on for a finished look, but not for a weather/freeze problem. Alumalite doesn't delaminate like mdo

Uranuim, if you are still out there, I have some advise for you, Go buy yourself a nice Graphtec plotter & cut ALL the vinyl you install in house. You have a Graphics/vinyl business, (& a successful one at that). This is the next natural step for you & in my opinion would benefit your...
