not at all. at least not when compared to what we would charge for such a banner here in our shop.

not really sure that this has anything to do with digital printing ;)

we tend to do custom graphics, from big to small, on motorcycles quite a bit and i was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to create a template for the bikes. what we do is take transfer tape and put it on the bike and then trace out the curves and then we take pics of the transfer tape on a...

it turns out that it was a faulty magenta head after all. had a guy named dave mulkey, who works for jet-tech, stop by on friday and check it out. definitely a super nice guy that knows his stuff. ended up changing the magenta head and a few others things and there is absolutely no banding at...

i'm aware. however, the person i quoted asked what phones people have that allow them to use netflix so i responded since my phone does.

i have the droid incredible and netflix is available for it and works extremely well on it.

same here. if the customer suggests that we don't bother getting one then we don't even bother putting the sign up. around here it is a $300 fine for putting up a sign without having a permit.

we use HP ink that we typically order from advantage sign supply.

typically run bidirectional but i have tried unidirectional and it didn't seem to help.

i absolutely hate when this happens :| them - "I have x amount of signs i need by the end of the week and i will come pick them up on friday. can you do this?" me - "sure, that shouldn't be a problem." them - "awesome. thanks! see you on friday." me - *calls them thursday to let them know the...

we are printing 6 color in 720p mode and we are using PosterShop7 RIP. The color management in PosterShop7 is setup for custom and when you go into the ICC Profile setup the values, from top to bottom, are Default CMYK/Default CMYK/Default RGB/Default RGB/No Profile Selected. the pictures...

that's what i'm afraid of because the boss doesn't really want to pay the money to get a new head. i did run the nozzle check earlier this morning when i brought the printer online after it had been soaking for an hour or two. i'm not quite sure what i'm looking for but the banding in the...

thanks jhill. that's what i was looking for. i took a few pictures just to give you an idea of what we are dealing with. the first two pictures are the red image printed at 8-pass and you can really see the banding in the first image. the last image is the the 16 pass/overprint 2 test image. as...

red is by far the worst for us. no other colors band except for the red. we currently use a combination of FlexiSign-Pro and adobe illustrator/photoshop for design and then use PosterShop RIP for doing all the ripping/processing. our heat is set at 45/40/45 and on friday we tried 35/30/35 just...

so the company i work for has the designjet9000s and we have major problems printing anything that has a lot of red in it. this is because any color red bands really, really badly no matter what we try. the only time it doesn't band all that much is on banner material or when we print it on 16...
