  1. Is an HP Latex Printer "Safe" in a Small, Unventilated Office Space?

    I've got a side gig graphics biz running that I'm sure I've mentioned at some time here. Microbusiness running from a home office. I've gotten the opportunity to "expand" into some small office space in a building a few blocks away. Currently it's one room, about 12' x 10', with the opportunity...
  2. Photoshop Beta / Generative Fill

    So I unintentionally spent a good couple of hours last night playing with the "Generative Fill" function that was recently opened up in the Adobe Photoshop Beta release. And not because it was difficult or complicated. It was just that fun. If you've got the subscription that includes...
  3. Question Edit Text from Within Onyx (Postershop)?

    Howdy, doodies. I've got a number of industrial decal sheets that we print to order. Each of these sheets have a text box to reference the part number of the sheet, the customer's reference name for it, and a production date. Each time a decal sheet order comes in, I change the date to that on...
  4. Suggestions Laminated Decals Not Always Coming Up with the Premask / Transfer Tape

    Hi there. After searching, I've found some information on this situation and have even used some of the solutions / products for past issues, but it's come up again and it's a fight that the boss is not wanting to have any longer. We use Briteline High-Tack transfer tape. All transfer tape is...
  5. Illustrator Can Finally Copy & Paste with Right Mouse Button Context Menu

    So it has only taken a couple of decades or so, but the sluggish wizards over at Adobe have finally made it possible to use the context menu to copy and/or paste a selected element in Adobe Illustrator. It might sound ridiculous to anyone who doesn't use Illustrator that a simple feature like...
  6. News Serif Affinity "Sale"

    Just a heads up for anyone who has been waiting for the Affinity apps to go on sale again (myself being one of those people): There's a 50% off code currently active. I only tried it on the Designer and Photo apps, and it worked. Both of them together cost me about 55 bucks. Here's the code...
  7. Suggestions Available Gloss Black Cut Vinyl for Low Surface Energy Application

    So the strangest thing has happened. I tried to obtain some vinyl we use all the time, and we're told it's currently unavailable! Have you ever heard of such a thing? And on my mudder's birthday! Anyway, frivolity aside, I'm having a tough time getting 3M 3690 LF Gloss Black vinyl that one of...
  8. Suggestions Lexan Sprocket Punch-Outs Causing Intermittent Streaks Through Prints

    Howdy. Sometimes (not frequently, but enough to be annoying at least, and costly at worst) when printing on 10mil Lexan on our Gerber Edge FX, everything will be printing just wonderfully, until it isn't. At most of the time, that means we're getting a continuous unprinted line down the rest of...
  9. Ritrama Vinyl

    Does anyone here use Ritrama-brand vinyl? Seems to be the latest casualty for us in the ongoing supply chain drama. Specifically I'm looking to find some Ritrama 3-9466 gloss white vinyl rolls. I've found that Duramark bought Ritrama USA at some point, and then recently Mactac bought Duramark...
  10. Question Avery V4000 Reflective Yellow: Anyone Print on it (with a Gerber Edge)?

    Hi there. I'm trying to tighten up some of our stocked digital materials, and have gone through the data sheets for many of them, causing my brain to become numb. In the Avery Dennison V4000 Reflective Vinyl spec sheets, it's stated that the White version is printable... implying that none of...
  11. Need Help Sample Gerber Foil Print / Transparent Sapphire Blue

    Hello all, I've got a customer that would like to test a particular foil color for a control panel, and of course it's a color type that we don't have. I've called some of our suppliers, as well as Gerber, to get a specific sample, or even to buy a short sample roll, but to no avail. Might...
  12. Suggestions Looking for Translucent / Flexible / PVC / Latex-Printable Material

    Hello all, My boss has me on the hunt for a particular material with these properties: - Translucent - Smooth - Matte or semi-gloss - Flexible - PVC - Latex-Printable - No adhesive - ~ 6 mil thickness Going to be used to print images such as cloudy skies, and inserted into curved, hanging...
  13. Need Help Printing Issue on Gerber Edge FX

    I often have to make film positives in-house for our screen printing department, and for that we use the Gerber Edge FX, printing Jet Black foil to Edge Positive film. Lately, the prints have been coming out strange like in the example photo I've uploaded. I tried using different resolutions...
  14. Need Help Silvering with Floor & Control Panel Overlaminate

    Hiya folks, I'm currently tasked with solving some silvering issues we get when using particular laminates. When using our general glossy overlaminates, we don't get any isues with silvering whatsoever. But it shows up mostly when we make non-slip floor signs. We're printing with a pair of HP...
  15. Securing 3mm PVC to Painted Wood

    I've got a project in the works for an 80" square sign, printed on two pieces of 40" x 80" butted-up 3mm PVC, going up on an outdoor wall space made of painted wood. Would screws and washers suffice for this, or should I also use an adhesive? And if I need the latter (and of course, a ladder)...
  16. Furniture Transfers

    (Not sure if this is actually considered a label or decal, but this seemed like the closest forum subject to post this)... Is anyone here familiar with pressure-sensitive transfers / decor transfers used for furniture restoration / decoration? (e.g. ReDesign with Prima). I'm not entirely sure...
  17. New Guy Sprung from Prison

    Hello everyone, Technically I'm not "new" here, having signed up almost four (!) years ago, but on my first day I had some missteps and some feathers were ruffled due to the structure of my questioning, and, well, I got sent to the Banned Slammer. You can read all about it in my past message...
  18. Help in Outfitting New Graphics Department

    Hello everyone! I am currently in the position of helping a growing company implement an in-house graphics operation. They have always outsourced their printing and are now wanting to do it all under one roof. Personally, I've been involved in most aspects of graphics / printing for the past...
