  1. Getting a better quality image from a low quality image

    Gigapixel runs amazingly on M1/M2 architecture. My ageing 5.1 macpro struggles in comparrison to M1 MBP. Gigaphoto can throw up some "interesting" results - finding faces in backgrounds where none were present (the application offered to download, and I thought why not). This looks freakish...
  2. Employee side business

    He got me over a few hurdles I was having He built you a step ladder?
  3. Employee side business

    I can see a couple of angles on this. You're in a small community, one or five local competitors, doing the kind of work where you could set up shop with below $10k of kit. You've got a facility like Victor's, or you pull permits, get drawings, have bucket trucks; the sort of thing that has you...
  4. Computer type

    1.5GB for a 12x16" monochrome print. 300p/cm, rather than 300ppi, as a 16bit RGB file. 3x display port on the graphics card will do, and there's normally an HDMI port as well, if you're looking to use an existing monitor.
  5. Hiring a business coach

    There IS a manual?
  6. Computer type

    I shoulda had a second screen on my laptop in the kitchen to watch Wales play.
  7. Computer type

    When someone sends you a massive file with lots of paths, transparency ect, you'll want a a quarterway decent graphics card (if you haven't then turn off the layers tab in illustrator) and then a couple of 27" screens. Excel, chrome (many tabs...), firefox, Photoshop all eat into available...
  8. Cutting shapes from 4mm Chloroplast

    Fresh sharp blades, cut first face, then through corrugations and back face. Depending on your surgical skills, having the table clear so you can rotate the patient for the optimal cutting angle can help. If the radii are all the same, having a physical template for the rounded corners can make...
  9. One man shop growing pains

    That looks like a space to work in! If additional power oulets need to be fitted, would be a great time to install "paintbooth" wall lights as well.
  10. One man shop growing pains

    If you've done the figures (and sounds like you have), then just do it.
  11. eCommerce Website

    That looks like what I've been looking for, just as we're about to move over to squarespace...
  12. I need recommendations for a new printer

    Scraps, while already paid for and waiting to be profit are time vampires. I know, I've got ends of silly expensive rolls carefulllly stored, from years gone by. One day soon, I'll order a skip, and a beer for breakfast, and they'll be gone, along with the 20" pvc and acp offcuts that feel too...
  13. Dealing with cheap real estate agents

    Steven, we call them estate agents. Do you venture as far south as Lincolnshire?
  14. Font Showcase

    same one that counted the wall fixings
  15. Photo megapixel help

    The band master is obsessed by the instrument, which is reasonably sharp. Unfortunately they shot at f1.8 so the player is not in focus.
  16. RollsRoller Adjustable Table Height

    If there's (not) instructions for regular service of the height mechanism in the owners manual, and you've (not) been following them, then a reputable premium brand distributor would be crazy to not help you with instructions. Worst they can say is it'll cost you X$'s. More likely they'll help...
  17. Photo megapixel help

    2x enlargement run through Topaz Photo AI. Not as good as a real camera, but scarily useable. Render time around 45 seconds with six other programmes running.
  18. Photo megapixel help

    Giga pixel barely touches the CPU - all on GPU. Base level M1 macbook runs rings around my dual xeon workstation with 8GB GPU (completes in 5% of the time). If you want to use this regularly in work, then get the appropriate tool to run it. UI is thoroughly annoying, usual modern dumbed down...
  19. CJV150-160 USB Connection Lost During Printing

    Might a moderate UPS (or several), supplying the printer, PC and repeaters cover you for brief outages? We had an old server and phone system that would reboot/glitch all the time, that became well behaved with a UPS. Other kit would be fine, but some things would reboot, after the building...
