Due to small town internet provider problems, we need to know if there is a way to connect the printer to the computer without going through the router. Sometimes the printer stops mid print because the router or our internet has a problem, so why not go around the router? Does it need to be...

We need a basic scale or adjustment we should use to create files in photoshop. I have been using AI for years and have now hired an experienced photoshop person who is new to signs. At full size 300 dpi with several photos, the file is nearly 700 meg. We are considering doing at 10% scale or...

I have gotten used to scaling things with the box around whats selected, but it is now gone. Anybody know how to get it back? I've been looking in preferences, view, etc and can't find it. I am using ai CS3. Thanks, DD

I sometimes print a small job onto orocal 651 with no problems, but I really need to print this one job onto some 751 and it's not printing great. There may be no solution but to use the print media... but just in case, has anyone found a solution to print to the 751? Many thanks, DD

The RED DIAMOND. I've found it as anna, but any other name suggestions are appreciated. It's a quick sponsor banner and I opened my mouth and said "oh ya, I can do that..." The font websites you recommend would be great too, if you don't mind. I use fonts101 and dafont. Many many thanks... DD

I have a customer needing a decal on the end of a large plastic water tank. It's like those you may see on a trailer for use by guys offering portable pressure washing. It's about 500 gallon. I think I tried to get cast to stick years ago and it does not do well. I did test a piece of...

After printing fine all day I heard an unusual sound when setting up the sheet. It sounded slightly different during printing too. I am talking about the x axis. After printing 18" it gave the motor error message. When I run material back and forth it sounds awful. I started removing panels to...

I had this problem before and help from this forum solved it. Hopefully some advice will solve it again. When we print on this pop-up non curl polyester material it often has a misty overspray due to static we think. What was advised before was to wet the floor around the printer and spray down...

Our sp-540v was ocasionally printing blue ish black and is now printing a dark green where black should be. It does share a head with the cyan, and I believe when printing 100%k it uses some blue which made me think the inks were contaminating each other? The test print (on the keypad) is good...

We are looking for a wholesaler of screen printed die cut aluminum. I googled and found a few and sent estimates, but am having some bad results. Two say they cannot do it, even though their websites show they can, and the only one to give a price is too high. If interested the details are...

I may need to be directed to an older discussion... seems like a not so unusual topic. I am a newer roland owner and have a small decal to make that would be awesome on silver metallic for the outline. I originally planned on printing the pms color red seperatly then applying over the silver but...

Thanks, Joe

Here's one for ya. Just the word ABILENE. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thnx, Joe

Thanks in advance.

I am covering 2 large 4'x10' white lexan faces that have had cut vinyl on both sides and are yellowing. The new image is a dark photo of food items and I am trying to avoid using transluscent due to the cost and no short rolls available. I have had very good luck using orocal 651 to letter faces...

I cannot think of the name of this font and have been looking online on a few sites and can't find it. The JC is a bold and Enterprise is a black... I think. If someone has a name for it I can probably search it easier. Thanks for the help, Joe

We did a wrap on a cargo trailer about a month ago. We used the regular oracal vinyl since all the areas were flat. We decided to remove the screws and put them back in over the vinyl, rather than heat and wrap the rivets. This sped up the install and went very well. It looked great and the...

I am looking for a shorcut to make the cents sign in ai:banghead:. On the mac it's option 8. I am now using a pc and can't seem to find the $ for cents and I'm tired of using the lower case c and stickin in a line when I know there's gotta be a shortcut. I appreciate the help. Joe

I am having troubles with the file size when I place too many photos. I know I need to learn photoshop, but I am very familiar with Illustrator. I have tried place and then use the include linked. I have tried rasterize. I have tried flatten transperancy. Sometimes the file size does get...

I also posted this under graphtec. I have a computer tech guy trying to get my new computer to run the plotter. The cutting master works great from AI on my current 32 bit vista computer, but cutting master does not run on a 64 bit. The next attempt we are doing is to run from the serial port...
