  1. Need Help Am I crazy, or can this not be printed as is?

    update So first, I know this is my problem. I only mentioned that I'd for it not to be my problem. Next, sure, a RIP can convert rgb to cmyk, but as someone else said, it cant do neon, it cant magically bend the laws of physics. If this was just a slightly out of gamut image, I could have...
  2. Need Help Am I crazy, or can this not be printed as is?

    Thanks everyone. I understand completely about the CMYK thing. The problem is the designer didn't. He designed this on an iPad. I even had to explain to him how to export to SVG. So I do have a vector, and I understand CMYK cant make fluorescents or such bright colors. I've tried RIPs and it...
  3. Need Help Am I crazy, or can this not be printed as is?

    I have a client that wants stickers, but the designer that made the logo made all the colors neon. Converting to CMYK makes it look dull and nothing like the bright original. https://www.dropbox.com/s/po3rhc939hcvthy/slimez-print.jpg is the link if anyone can tell me who can print neon colors...

    Hey guys, I've got a client that's looking for between 1,000 and 5,000 stickers, 3.37"x3" die cut, with gold foil in spot areas, on a vinyl sticker, with a lamination. I would like pricing on quantities of 1,000, 5,000 and anything in between (say 2,000, 3,000 or 2,500) as well, all shipped...
  5. Suggestions Outsource Recommendations For Banner Printing

    I've worked with a few banner places, locally and out of state, but lately my main vendor (whom I shall not name at this time) has been a bit lackluster as far as quality control and customer service. I guarantee what I sell, and my vendor has usually done the same, but lately I can't say...
  6. Suggestions Low Maintenance Sticker Printer

    So to add to it, while maintenance is a key factor, I'd like to be able to do good/great quality full color. This is where I think the Summa has it over the Gerber, and I appreciate you confirming that. Also, the Gerber Edge is what, 14k? For so so full color? That's hard to swallow But, now...
  7. Suggestions Low Maintenance Sticker Printer

    Hello again good people of S101. I've recently been getting orders for stickers. I already have vendors lined up and they do a great job, but I've been looking for a low maintenance machine that I can do short runs on. I've read about the Roland BN-20, but it seems like it requires the same...
  8. Application Tape Roller/Dispenser

    may I have a link to said harbor freight rollers? I searched for rollers, roll, casters, no luck. Also, I found this, for kraft paper: http://www.globalindustrial.com/p/packaging/papers/roll-dispensers-cutters/horizontal-kraft-paper-dispenser-24-material-width about 85 bucks shipped. 24"...
  9. Application Tape Roller/Dispenser

    ams, please let me know what you come up with. I'm always interested to see whats available. signgirl, I bought it off ebay, and for 36 dollars, the wheels could fall off after a year and I'd be ok. I'm going to use it for both a basic vinyl roll feeder, and also for applications. I don't have...
  10. Application Tape Roller/Dispenser

    Thanks How has it held up so far? I may dual use it not just for tape, but as a basic vinyl roll feeder for my cutter. I don't do long runs so I don't expect it to be a huge problem, and if it is, I'll use it only for application. I may get one just because the price is super affordable.
  11. Application Tape Roller/Dispenser

    Hi guys. Still new to this. Saw a 28" roller device on USCutter that can also be used as a basic roll feeder. I don't have any expectation to do very long runs (I'm thinking nothing more than the occasional long text, say 2-5' long tops), and would consider getting it, but reviews say its great...
  12. Software for Mimaki CG-SRIII

    GOT IT! I received a response or two, but ultimately, I was able to get a FineCut8 cd. Downloaded the latest version of the plugin from Mimaki direct, and installed. Thanks everyone
  13. Software for Mimaki CG-SRIII

    Picked up a used mimaki. worked great, but I dont have a copy of finecut for it. Illustrator wont support it, and I updated illustrator before this cutter fell in my lap, and the seller is looking for the cd, but without it, I believe I am not able to install Finecut anyways. Any...
  14. Is this used Graphtec CE5000-60 a good deal?

    Is this Graphtec worth it? Thanks for the advice, I plan to do as you mentioned. I'd seen that graphtec page before, so I'll fire up the laptop and get that plugin and software going. Still looking at new machines. But if this is a steal in the 4s or low 5s I'd have to give it a long hard look
  15. Hello from Arizona

    Hello all, I'm a long time listener, first time caller. :Big Laugh Seriously, I've been reading posts on here for years now, and have gathered up some great info that has helped my business. Looking to learn a bit more hands on, as I've recently started doing small cut vinyl for samples...
