  1. 3' x 8' full-color full-bleed digitally printed 13oz banner price?

    95% of my stuff is gallery. All media profiled, without, or with lam, and this includes banner. Colours spot on, neutrals dead nuts neutral. One day I dream of not just aqueous, roll to roll, all the goodies. Job is three months external in a city not famed for sunshine, so pressure not liquid.
  2. 3' x 8' full-color full-bleed digitally printed 13oz banner price?

    I'm $11.60/sqft. Got 20 40x60's coming through this weekend. Two meetings, a dozen or more emails so far. I get to QA the artwork when it arrives. Cheap, no. Service and time intensive, yes (particularly on my little not r2r printer and laminator). But certainly profitable. I'm going for...
  3. Pad printer questions

    Inkjetmall https://shop.inkjetmall.com/UV45 do conversion kits for small desktop printers, if you want to go the automark UV photoresist route.
  4. Mimaki CJV150 Help!

    A cheap old second monitor to the side with a usbc to dvi/vga adaptor might do the trick. I should get some for our old drytac laminator - paint has worn down and allthough smooth, is a slight point of resistance.

  6. Just In Free SteelTrak up for grabs!

    Only thing I need for the steeltrak is a couple of extra production flip stops. Now, a jubilee 10x5 big bench, with an Evolution3 folder down the side... That'd make the centre piece for the studio, and let me jump the hurdle to a 60" printer. I'd take original artwork, or special edition.
  7. Just In Free SteelTrak up for grabs!

    I got red, black, blue and white vinyl. Do I have the time to wrap our steeltrak, and more importantly, the space, need and urge to put in a second one. Sorry. Only got ceiling height for the 210 version.
  8. What printer for the hobbyist which got enough of L25500?

    I can only speak from the Canon side of things (other than a very specially adapted old Epson). You don't have to use a rip with the 9000, but I hate the odd occasion when I've had to print from PS or illustrator, rather than using a rip (though I print on a very wide range of media for a wide...
  9. What printer for the hobbyist which got enough of L25500?

    I print a fair amount of vinyl on my aqueous Canon, most of it laminated, some of it contour cut with a little Graphtec. Gamut and quality is absolutely photographic. Yes, there are fewer material options than for the latex/uv machines, but the cost of the (for example) Canon IJM538 is a hundred...
  10. Looking for premium solvent canvas

    Not sure of availability your side of the pond, but Innova make some nice materials, and https://innovaart.com/product/eco-solvent-poly-cotton-canvas-370gsm-ifa-96/ looks like it could suit.
  11. The FONT Project

    While I think it would be a lovely idea to ahave a findmethisfont, I think the global target market is rather too small for the coding and support investment required. A bar code reader (such as on a lottery ticket machine) is one thing (and boy is there a lot of money to be made from that...
  12. The FONT Project

    Two birds, possibly three. Remember those tricksy things on websites, where you have to guess what the letters are, before you can get to the next level? Well... replace those silly old hand written texts with first draw a box around a letter A, then a letter a, now a letter B and a letter b...

    All right, Mr. Wiseguy,” she said, “you’re so clever, you tell us what color it should be.”
  14. Pricing cut vinyl

    Thanks guys, very timely. Did a cut and install for a client yesterday. When I got back to the office, there was a thank you, and a reminder from the client to let them know the cost and send an invoice over to purchasing. Two 6x3' panels, white vinyl text. Fortunately, I'd spoken with their...
  15. Printer for Canvas Art

    This side of the pond, I'm seeing 4000's being 60-75% the cost of the 4100, from dealers, still with warranty. Different printheads (one on the 4100, two on the 4000), though the 4100 head costs less than two 4000's, and won't need as much alignment with itself (which is an end user activity...
  16. Printer for Canvas Art

    I've not heard of anyone running the Canon TZ-30000 for art printing, though they are using Canon Lucia pigment inks, it is a CMYK only machine. Probably capable of being dialed in with good profiles, won't match the image quality of the 4100. The Canon Lucia inkset on the 4100 should be good...
  17. I need to RELEARN color calibration and management

    Real World Color Management, Fraser et al. Peachpit 2005 Depending on which RIP your using, there may be decent training materials available on line. I'm looking into Caldera, to replace our very old Fiery xPress - sales rep quoted £1000+VAT for a days training, way more than the software...
  18. How to - calibration/color mgmt with Caldera and aq inkjet

    I was actually wondering if this would work for OP's 4000. Happy to set up new media, and build profiles - we chop and change around a lot of art materials (and banner, SAV etc), so it is part of the process. Tend to use the onsite media test image for the paper set up in the Canon utility, but...
  19. How to - calibration/color mgmt with Caldera and aq inkjet

    Sorry if this is a slight hijack. We're currently running an 8400 through Fiery xpress, profiles produced with xRite prolier using a rev D i1Pro, on a rather old macpro running high sierra. Great neutrals, smooth tonal transitions, but not fast enough for practical work. Had a sales call with a...
