We used to use Oracal 3640 for the dasher boards w/ luster laminate. I know it seems crazy to use such cheap calendared vinyl, but it's worked for years. (Customer installs)

Yes. Most recently, my last shop hired a local firm (Reach Local) to setup an add campaign for us. I've had a lot experience with Ad Words before, but I didn't have time to manage the campaign. We threw about $400 - $600 / month at the campaign and it generated quite a number of leads /...

I print on Monet Canvas (HP L26500 or HP 9000 Printer). Then I buy stretcher bars from the local craft store. Then I just pull it tight and staple into the back of the frame. Super easy, super cheap, super awesome! I really just stumbled through the first one or two and now, it is super...

We had a Russian encrypt our entire server and held us ransom for $4000. Talked with the FBI & they said we were screwed. Been working in IT capacity for 15+ years and never seen anything remotely as advanced. Makes you wonder...

Owned both My last shop had a L25500 for about 10 months. Great Machine! It was a workhorse. Came from HP 9000s (solvent). Switched jobs about 6 months ago. Have had L26500 for about 3 months now. Great Machine. Seems to take a little more to get profiles dialed in, but it's faster...

Illustrator Illustrator: File -> Document Color Mode -> CMYK

It looks like a head-strike. I think your temps are in fact too high and the media is buckling. Try dropping it by 5º and see if that works. Just check it as it is coming off to see if it is "oily" at all. I might even go as far as to drop it by 10º. • Decrease temp • If lower temp is a...

I saved as a .TIF and it seems to keep the colors the same (within 1%), but I would love any insight on this.?

I have an image in photoshop (CMYK) that I changed the background to : CMYK: (70,50,30,100). When I place the image in illustrator and use the eye dropper on it, it shows: CMYK : (74.23, 64.41, 67.69, 77.13) I've tried saving the file as an EPS & PSD, but get the same results. Any...

I guess this brings a different issue to light. I typically use: 0,0,0,100k for my blacks with "PROFILES OFF" in Onyx RIP. Or 40,40,40,100k if I have to choose "Profiles ON" in Onyx. I'm obviously a dumb-@55 when it comes to color management and those values are from trial and error in the...

Office Wrap Love the file cabinet. Here are a few pics from what I've started to do. I'm going to do the floors and walls, but looking for ideas / concepts. Was thinking space or something abstract, any suggestions.?. :beer

- Working in Photoshop & Illustrator. - File is raster image - Talked with designer (large marketing firm) and of course they do not have layered files. I'm kind of a jack of all trades , master of none. So my photoshop skills are really only used when I have to. I plan on jumping into...

Hello team, Q: I have artwork from client that has a background color embedded into the image. They want a pure black by (0,0,0,100k). However they gave me flattened eps files. They do not have layered art. Problem is, the background is like (40,60,40,70) or something. Obviously when...

I didn't know people still use Omega. :-) The first thing I did at my old shop was replace Omega w/ Illustrator for all design / cut. I had: HP 9000 Solvent Printer, upgraded to HP L25500 Latex Printer (MUCH BETTER than solvent); Graphtec 7000-160 ; Illustrator & Omega (poop) Gerber EDGE 2...

My money is on Latex. The HP L26500 is a very nice machine. It beats the hell out of solvent in my opinion. Very little maintenance needed and prints great. Prints will scratch if not laminated though. Pretty much same as solvent. However, most of the stuff I printed at my old shop was...

Hey guys, I am looking to purchase a trimmer. I'm pretty much a one man show in the graphics department, and trimming seems to be taking the most time out of my production. I print mostly vehicle wraps or similar. I just came across the "Fotoba" trimmers last night online and I have a...

CTRL + ALT + DEL Goto "Processes" close anything Onyx related. ("Postershop", "JAWS", etc.) Then re-open Postershop or whatever you're using. Hopefully that works.

Wall Requirements doc I used to print hospital graphics like such: 48" Wide panels 1" overlap - If your RIP lets you, I would submit tiles as separate jobs too. (might just be Onyx thing) - Also, in my experience; It was best to let the RIP automatically tile my graphics at 48" (or...

+1 for Arlon DPF 8000. Can't really say how longevity is, because of limited use. However, have had good success with it so far.

I have 10.2 and am receiving the same error. Poop
