  2. the future of graphic design

    Canva should be banished from the earth...horrible files to deal with
  3. the future of graphic design

    yes I agree but even my printer computer, which is pretty fast, had a tough time dealing with the delay times of the redraw.
  4. the future of graphic design

    AI.... customer sent me a file...a 3" x 3" label generated by AI. eps file 32 meg...Took Signlab a while to open it. I thought for sure this was a bitmap saved at extreme resolution but it was not. Completely vectored. The redraw took a couple minutes and the design is pretty impressive...
  5. News Save $ on JetBest Ink

    I have used Jet Best for over 8 years and I was worried at first, but after a few months realized it was better than Mimaki ink as far as not scuffing. This ink does not need the lines emptied before transitioning over so it must be pretty damn close to OEM. The only issue we have from time...
  6. Printer not moving faster in non-printable areas

    My Mimaki does that too... So it takes another 5 minutes to finish the print no biggy
  7. Why is my printer using both black cartridges when that is not the way it usually works

    Yes that must be it as when I loaded the new cartridge in the beginning it showed I had 2 months. Thanks guys...smart machine
  8. Why is my printer using both black cartridges when that is not the way it usually works

    This printer is a JV150-130 and up until I noticed this always uses one cartridge at a time, when it is empty it moves to the secondary cartridge. In the pic you can see it is pulling black from both which could mean something has gone wrong. Has anyone seen their printer do this?
  9. Double Cuts

    No stroke lines...but even if there were I did uncompound the cutline to see if I could separate it into 2 pieces but no go. One of life's mysteries
  10. Double Cuts

    Just caught my Summa cutting a print twice. Every so often I catch it doing this, so I opened the file we ran and I am deleting the contour cut expecting to see a duplicate but nothing there. I even tried uncompounding, separating the contour cut, but there seems to be no duplicate cut...
  11. Question clear coroplast?

    There was a clear coroplast that many people used for greenhouses but never could understand where I would use it in the sign biz. It was never technically clear, more like a glazed clear. I am looking at a sample chart I have with it from Coroplast brand They have a toll free number 1-800...
  12. Customer requesting relief cuts in vinyl

    I'm positive the moment you cut it, within minutes you will see the separation starting...but the customer knows best!!
  13. New Mimaki JV100-160 ICC help

    I have a couple of other profiles for that unit. I found them for my screen printer who purchased that machine... Give me your email and I will send them as I can't seem to attach them here

  15. how to turn off auto feed and length detection on a Summa s2 140 t series

    Can you expand on that Thanks
  16. how to turn off auto feed and length detection on a Summa s2 140 t series

    The reason I am asking is that something strange happened when I went to print 8x 18" x 24" signs. I ripped the file with all 8 on the page and as it was printing I sometimes look at the percentage of print processed and when I did this time I also saw that somehow the prod manager was set for...
  17. how to turn off auto feed and length detection on a Summa s2 140 t series

    I need to turn all that stuff the plotter does every time you put a new roll in and also the feeding out of material after you have identified the first reg mark. Anyone know if it is even possible?
  18. Been chasing gray for years, finally realized the problem is in Flexi?! Please help me figure this out!

    I have never seen that screen before...is this version 22? Do you print up a colour chart to reference the colours you want to use for any particular job?
  19. I don't think this fell off from any car wash

    NO that is not what happened....Why would it always separate from the top? All 3 logos on this truck and 2 others are doing the exact same thing and they were done at different times so the vinyl would have been off different rolls. I just reprinted this time, and slapped them back on...
  20. I don't think this fell off from any car wash

    No it is actually white vinyl on top of black vinyl...not cast but that 10 year 2.8 ml...never ever have I had issues before except with 2 companies...ironically in the concrete biz...They used high pressure washers on it as I see bits of concrete on the truck and that is about the only way to...
