  1. Illustrator Performance

    2010 MacPro 5,1 32GB RX580 High sierra with Illustrator 23.11 No too shabby for a storage heater
  2. Need Help GBC Mounting Adhesive Bubbling

    Ran into this this week trying to help cut costs on an exhibition mounting onto 1.4mm mount board - I don't normally use this as it is cheap and nasty. 36x48" boards on a 41" roll of drytac SWA. Reducing the nip on the rollers, and running sections of 10"x41" of the boards inbetween each sheet...
  3. Illustrator Performance

    Illustrator 26.5 Macbook pro 17.1 16GB ram Illustrator, PS, ID, outlook, word, excell, 20+tabs in firefox. I really should shift my productive work away from the old MacPro 5,1, but it keeps my feet warm in winter.
  4. Complaint Department...

    Aaaas you know, I had these hats, of which seven are excellent, produced by a third party. I've just been informed that following the recent Pantone renegotiation, my supplier's supply, and so by dint my supplier are no longer able to allowed to supply works using the specific colour thread...

  6. Roland VW-S1 Colour Match Tool - Looking for reviews

    If you have multiple Roland printers, it should help pull them closer to one another. It won't help you profile the printers.
  7. Roland VS300i no test print after head install

    I still suggest the UK forum - there may be some one local there with an old faithful sat in the corner, powered down, because the replacement unit came in. There maybe someone who'll give you an hour or two to pull a board and help you turn your machine around Plenty of us have been where you...
  8. Roland VS300i no test print after head install

    Aside from the technical issues, where you're getting Expert_Support, if you've got orders that are getting old, or potential print work for valued customers, it might be worth putting a shout out on uk sign boards. A few folks on there who could recommend a trade supplier, or a local firm to...
  9. Unrealistic requests/deadlines

    If port were that cheap over here, I'd lay off the beers.
  10. Usable scrap, but too much!

    Panoramic real estate signs!? Nice to have room to breathe.
  11. Usable scrap, but too much!

    Local model making shop, Art shops and small galleries/framers. We print "fine art" photographic on lovely papers, and a lot our customers like to get work flat packed; this would work great, and they can tape all four sides and it's weather proofed for pick up or post. Chop them down to 24.5"...
  12. What type of material is this?

    Mafell and Festool both make power drills, so I guess so. My bet's on the former, as it comes with kinky swappable bits.
  13. People asking for logos...I'm getting irritated

    Too late now, but take file,cConvert to prophoto RGB. Assign sRGB. On a cheapass screen, they might not notice, but print results likely be less than pretty (assuming their printer is capable of printing colours half way accurate).
  14. Do you have job descriptions?

    Very useful. Interesting that you've managed to employ soothsayers. Understand and predict our future inventory demands Track and understand current and future inventory lead times
  15. Sometimes I just amaze myself, then sometimes the customers do.............................................

    I just want the two for now, but the other 18 will come in over the year; so I still get the 10% discount, right? Yep, last two will be on me.
  16. One man shop growing pains

    I don't want $this_job, quacks like a nightmare. Quote silly high, they'll go elsewhere, or rethink plans. $this_job's originator - files coming over to you now, send over invoice, and we'll settle in advance. Check calendar, check suppliers, check star alignment, $this_job sets 04:00 alarm...
  17. frontage calculation question...

    Hasselblad led, instagram agreed, Samsung joined the fold
  18. New to me permitting issue - foot-candles

    Spot metres are for reflected light (the light falling on to the subject). You'd want an incident meter to measure the light coming out from the source (LED through sign face, measured at 1ft, at two foot, the intensity would be quartered etc). No fancey laser spotting, though you could mount a...
  19. Ionizer bars, guns.

    ^what he said (post sent simultaneously...) Does it bring you joy when you fire it up in the morning?
  20. Ionizer bars, guns.

    About a decade ago, our DryTac rep pointed us towards Fraser Antistatic - I think they used them in laminate/adhesive production.
