Hello All, I often receive artwork with fonts still embedded and not converted to shapes/outlines. I know I could bounce the artwork back to the client and refuse to print it. But I'm offereing a printing service, helping people print stuff, wrangling their artwork seems to be a part of that...

Your guy hand trimmed 165 pieces and mounted 220 prints in 120 minutes? That's about 44 seconds per unit. I think you've hired the Flash.

Hey guys, I have had an enquiry for 100 a4 corflute/corrugated plastic signs. I've got a corflute cutting tool, which is good for down the flute, but I still need to go across the flute. My bench time manually cutting this with a knife and straight edge is going to blow me out of the water...

There have been a few members posting issues with banding on the XR640, especially on the faster settings. The white/metallic ink system requires extra attention every week without fail or it will block completely.

I have a Roland ecosolvent 2 print and cut. Recently I did a small lightbox sign on opal acrylic. It was a multicolor logo, and I printed on clear self-adhesive, then profile cut the logo, weeded it, and mounted. About two weeks later the client called, and part of the logo was lifting at the...

This would be worth looking at, if your media is rolling freely it can cause media buckling, which could possibly result in that kind of banding. Reminds me of this thread, if you want to read about some epic roland banding issues...

No one has really mentioned this, but from my experience the easiest way for a client to steal your artwork is to get you to develop it, then wander off with your proof and get it printed elsewhere. When I'm working through the design process, I email them proofs, and they are always 150dpi high...

I've got a GBC Titan 165, not sure if it is an Arctic one, it is white. Anyway, had it for 10 years, in that time one fuse has blown and the chain came loose about a year ago. It's been an asset for sure. The hot and cold roller feature is good. The roller cooling feature is rubbish though, does...

​ ​Yep, some jobs just keep going wrong. I had one for a pull up banner last year. First print had a head strike in the logo in the last 100mm of a 2 metre print. Reprint was fine loaded it into the roller unit, pulled it up to make sure it worked, a burr in the roller unit put a scratch...

I've got a similar setup to Bluemoons. Bob's outline is about right. You just need a pipe that fits inside the media roll, and is longer than the media roll is wide, that pipe operates like an axle. Then some way to keep it elevated. It is essentially the equivalent of have someone stand at the...

It falls into a legal grey area of intellectual property. As I understand it, unless the designer signs a transfer of ownership form, then the IP actually remains with the designer, even though they have been hired to produce the work. Unless you stipulate the transfer of ownership in your...

Awesome, thank you.

Hey guys, Just wanting to get an idea on some other names for this product. I call it a strut card, or a counter card. I thought perhaps some people from other nations had different names for them.

So after you cut the piece of laminate, is that when you see the bubbles? Sounds kind of familiar, I wouldn't expect the laminate lifting of the backing sheet to translate into bubbles after mounting. What technique do you use to mount the laminate?

I had a retail shop fron for 2 years, an industrial estate factory for 4 years, and I've been working from home for the last 4 years. A retail location is all about having business walk in through your door. They come and see you because they are walking past or live/work nearby. If you want...
