  1. Printing on frosting....

    That makes sense - I have some that I print aqueous - exploring options that will allow me to offer non-vinyl and/or un-laminated products.
  2. Printing on frosting....

    Sorry for side question, but can eco-solvent (thinking s80600) Not print onto pp and pet media?
  3. Out of ink, is there a way to cut?

    Judging by the speed with which the OP's problem was solved, I'd guess this was a quirk of design, rather than a feature of malice. Now though, yeah, haven't chucked us enough cash this month, no scans/prints/cuts/water for you mister.
  4. Who wants to help.................................................................

    Aaaand this is why you should stop continue watching pron at work. I'd avoid the hottest running, because Mr Sod, and his legal system will stop a bearing at the wrong time, and fry your system.
  5. BEWARE of South Water Signs

    A dozen or more years ago, when we first set up a filemaker solution, we migrated data from a very aged database - possibly card box? - and mapped the notes field to notes field we'd set in FM. Some very choice descriptions of certain customers. Had to do a manual purge of the nsfw entries...
  6. BEWARE of South Water Signs

    Short people, mac users, and people who email scans of emails.
  7. Who wants to help.................................................................

    You're looking at a 10 year build, so I'd suggest a combination that will let you run DDR5 memory - prices are dropping - starting perhaps with a 4x16GB compatability. Quick look suggests most of the MoBo's top out at 192GB. Given that work coming in looks to be memory, and GPU intensive, gives...
  8. Can any pigment based ink printer print on Vinyl?

    Canon IJM538 is an aqueous vinyl, so you could get a roll and cut it down to A4/A3 sheets, but without a laminate, the colours would be flat, and the work flow a PITA. For design and testing purposes, a BN20 would be a far better choice, and would allow for actual testing of output that might...
  9. What resolution is everyone printing at

    Colorthink from Chromix is amazing, but not inexpensive, when viewed in isolation (Basiccolor etc).
  10. Question Hanging Signs

    Mouse isn't the only sinister part of the setup - just reflect on the topsy turvy nature of t'interwebs
  11. HP 630

    Just had an email through from a supplier regarding a (I believe) new HP latex. Looking at the spec, Long-term print-to-print repeatability 95% of colors < 3 dE20002. Does this mean that 5% of colours aren't long term print to print repeatable, and that the remainder can be expected to be...
  12. Can a logan mat cutter cut 1.5mm chipboard? Another tool?

    Could you make do with MDF instead? if so, a SteelTrak twin wheel cutter will do the job. Depends on what constitutes a lot.
  13. Never Forget......................................................

    Still remember the day, in a small town in Finland while my wife was in a meeting tidying up her mothers estate. Stopped into a bar that happened to have no one talking, CNN on the TV. My mind took an age to even think about ordering. I was eight, in primary school when we had a general...
  14. Can any pigment based ink printer print on Vinyl?

    None of the vinyls I've found to run on an aqueous machine behave anything like a wrap vinyl when it comes to compound curves, or thinness even with relief cuts. If you're running design, test fit POC, run the tests on the right class of material. And for a relatively small investment, you can...
  15. Can any pigment based ink printer print on Vinyl?

    Sounds like a job for the BN20
  16. Is it good idea to print stickers on pigment Canon Pro-4100?

    When needed, I print on 24" IJM838, laminate then cut on a Graphtec CE6000-60. It's doable, looks fine, but I have better things to do with my life than push this! Things could be improved with a take roll on the 8400, and a laminator that does roll to roll.
  17. What is wrong with this pdf...........................................................................

    Picture an AutoCadkesque corportation offering a subscription model to municipalities, to help them digitise their planning records for all (sign) permits. Chuck an AI at it and you've got the engineers out of business... Get it to check the graphics, the social media responses, the portfolios...
  18. What is wrong with this pdf...........................................................................

    I still hate the dumbing down democratisation of design software, and the Ark Ship B marketing muppets. But yes, if this is what the customer is presenting to us, then we have to evolve, if that fits our market.
  19. Summa S3

    Adding a $10k+ production machine to anything other than structured cabling strikes me as madness.
  20. What is wrong with this pdf...........................................................................

    MISTER PROSSER: Come off it Mister Dent you can’t win you know! Look, there’s no point in lying down in the path of progress! ARTHUR DENT: I’ve gone off the idea of progress. It’s overrated
