I suppose for you it may be perceived as some sort of magic. When it comes to wide format printers the "truth" is that garbage in = garbage out. If you're comfortable letting substandard work out the door then I guess you don't have too much to get excited about. With a proper profile you...

I'm with jkdbjj on this 100% of 100%. Color charts are for the uninformed. Proper calibration/profiling/linearization will also save a bunch on ink consumption. Our ink consumption went down considerably after we set up a proper color managed workflow. Time savings in design and layout are...

My boss wanted me to add one to our shop e-mail signature. It was all I could do to not burst out laughing. I told him I highly doubted anyone was going to take a smartphone shot of their e-mail while they're at the computer because it's far simpler to just click a link. That way you don't have...

Have had it in production here for more than two weeks without any problems at all. Haven't found any bugs yet and it certainly gets a workout around here. As a matter of fact it's a lot snappier than X5 and I'm really liking it. Running 64 bit version on Windows 7 Pro SP1 / Intel i7-2600 @...

Depending on the cable 50' is generally the max but you can go a lot further than that with the right cable. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Remote-Serial-Console-HOWTO/serial-distance.html Back in the last millennium we regularly ran 50' cables to serial monitors (POS systems) and never had a problem...

That's the realm of 3D software. Pretty difficult to achieve with photo editing software (PS) or 2D vector software (Illy).

You're dead WRONG! The old designer was right even though he may not have understood why he was. CMYK is NOT any kind of a standard - Roland's yellow could be different than Mimaki's or HP's or whoever. In fact it more than likely is different. On the other hand RGB is a standard and that's...

You know what I hate about "Reality TV"? Too much drama! Dan

Too Funny! Seriously though..., Printing out a colour chart to pick your colours from - in no way, shape, or form - is most certainly not a substitute for proper profiling. We have an i1 -older but still perfectly good - and I can assure you that once you get the hang of it your colour output...

That's all your myopic approach to colour management will ever allow you to do is "eke" out a living. Good luck with your hillbilly colour management sport. Dan

I've got that chart in a book at home (some book from Signs of the Times I think). If I recall correctly you're right about the Black on Yellow then the Black on White. Dan

The gears stripped out of ours as well. I find the machine in general is a Royal PITA. Dan

You're starting to sound an awful lot like Bob! :wink: Dan

I think Bob lives on expired Alpha-Bits. Dan

Here's what I set up on my website in an attempt to explain the difference: http://www.jaguardesign.ca/artsubmissions.htm Dan

And here I thought it was Asstroids. Dan

I have one of those antiques and it was doing the exact same thing. I lubed the plunger that drops and lifts the blade and now it's working fine. What do you use to drive yours? I've got an old box running Win98 and CorelDraw 9 and CoCut because any of the newer cutting software doesn't support...

This little Jack Russell would likely be real handy to have around the shop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9Fyey4D5hg Dan

I love standing outside at night with Google Sky Map fired up on the smartphone. A satellite finder app is handy too when "stars" go meandering by. I've been a star gazer since the Big Bang. Dan

+1 Dasnootz I'm with Dasnootz as far as the RS is concerned - no experience with a Seal. Ours is a real crap shoot as to whether or not it's going to destroy a job. We've had the covers off the thing trying to get the tension set and I have to say that what I've seen of the innards it's not...
