Are you wanting just a RIP? Or design? Design and RIP? And the answers that are NEITHER of the options you chose cracks me up. Anyway, be more specific in what purpose the software is that you are looking for, as well as what machines you run. Then the HELPFUL ones here can move you in the right...

Sure PSD is the better file of all....but we're talking about COMPRESSION weren't we? PSD is the BIGGEST and has no compression options.

WTF?

Same thing I use for most everything for signs...Flexi

Anyone using this for other signage? Like long term outdoor flat signage (overlays on Dibond, aluminum, etc..)? I normally use IJ180, just wondering if this will be as good. With the $100 rebate on them right now, I'd like to snag a few rolls.

Thanks....I looked there and didn't see them. Now I do. And CRAP they are 3 times what standard ones cost.

That's what I need...longer barrels.

I need to procure some #2 self-piercing grommets (we have Stimpson machines) to use in 3/16" foamcore mainly. We seem to be doing a lot of these, and the standard ones end up crushing the material too much. I know they make them......problem is no one seems to sell them. Anyone have any leads?

That doesn't matter when creating a file for a large wall mural. Why have a 200GB file for a billboard, choking your RIP and taking up so much space, when a 2GB file will look EXACTLY the same from 20 feet away.

How do you manage to assign only the K printhead to print your black?

No, it literally omits a color, not changing it. I had it happen. A rush job, with blue background and yellow letters. I set it to print, left the room, came back and I had a run of blue and white prints. I resent the same file with a different profile, same thing happened. Had to restart the PC...

I'm amazed any of these are still out there running. Used one at the previous company I worked for. Was a terrible machine for what we bought it for.

Poster paper is the best option, even though you said no paper.

It isn't worth the hassle.Better to just nest as many jobs as you can. Any waste should already be figured in to your costs.

LZW IS lossless. TIF with JPG compression works well....set it around 10 and get good file sizes.

We did the same, but opted out on the cam. Do you think from your experience so far the cam is worth it? I heard it's just a tiny bit faster with it, and we are having pretty good results so far. I've had a few really long prints that seemed to have gone off track and ruined the prints. Just...

That is very regional. $25/hr in Cali is about $15/hr here. Which is low end. Actual graphic designers (non-sign industry) can fetch $25-35/hr here....but the Sign business is so different than ad agencies/design firms so that wage is always lower. I'd say an average wage for sign shop designer...

Electric vinyl zapper..uses rubber wheels like erasers. https://www.fellers.com/fellers-shopping/cat/wrap-tools-and-supplies/sub/wrap-removal/set/mbx-electric-vinyl-zapper

When you do a proper "CLOSE" of the application, any changes to the color swatches prompts you to save them, as well as saving the setup of your workspace. If that's not working correctly than it's a glitch, and you probably should open up Preference Manager and do a reset.

I've seen that same lifting with dry erase laminate, on an INDOOR application. Possibility someone grabbed the wrong roll?
