  1. Outgassing?

    Yes. Cut while the ink was still wet.
  2. Need Help Onyx Postershop 12.2 exe file / download

    I only have the Production House version of 12. I don't think you can use your dongle with that.
  3. HP 365 - Not made for traffic reflective printing? (also, need printer suggestions)

    Do the HP printers have an encoding strip? This kind of sounds like a dirty encoding strip problem.
  4. can you explain "Spot Colors"?

    You don't already have white and black vinyl? There was potentially only one color to buy in this case, the medium blue. And you can buy vinyl by the yard at Fellers if you don't want any left over. Labor is far less to handle cut vinyl compared to printing, drying, laminating, then cutting...
  5. Question Which forum would be appropriate for this type of question?

    I am pretty sure Michelangelo would not be hurried up on the Sistine Chapel ceiling. They will have to wait until it's redone if they want it redone. Trying to varnish over it to get a darker color is a lousy bandaid. Once it's done, it could be 50 years or more before it's redone. Better to...
  6. Wrong substrate used, any way to salvage?

    Did the sign swing from the chains, or was it tied in four corners? I've seen swinging signs that lasted, but they had extremely tough hardware and the signs were very heavy. I think swinging signs only work if the sign and hardware are heavy. I've seen lightweight signs that, although they...
  7. Question Which forum would be appropriate for this type of question?

    Were you responsible for the base color (gray)? Was it something the customer approved before you started? If no to the first question, my response would be they are welcome to Kilz the pattern and repaint the ceiling a darker gray, and then after they pay you for what you have already done...
  8. can you explain "Spot Colors"?

    Lot of info mishmash in these answers. The term Spot Color comes from the printing world (not sign printing). Originally, all printed material was spot color (think lithography, slug and hot lead printing presses). The normal color was black ink, and when people got fancy they might add another...
  9. Reflective Vinyl

    Check the upper right corner of the data sheet: https://cdn.grimco.com/Pdf/Home/Viewer?file=https://cdn.grimco.com/product/AVERYDENNISONV4000PREMIUMREFLECTIVE/datasheet/V4000DataSheet.pdf Page 4 of this one (I think)...
  10. Reflective Vinyl

    All reflective vinyls advise against wet application. If the damage did not occur from shipping/handling, and was from application, it happens from bending the vinyl back too hard while peeling off the liner, or from trying to lift the vinyl and reapplying it.
  11. Wrong substrate used, any way to salvage?

    How are the signs "blowing down"? Fasteners pulling through the sign? Bracket falling off wall?
  12. Question PC/Corel Question

    Here is how to fix Fix Windows 10 Thumbnail preview not showing Search file explorer options in windows 10 taskbar search Now, click on view tab and uncheck the option saying Always show icons never thumbnails. Finally click on apply.
  13. How do you hire?

    I currently pay myself less than $15/hr (by far). Granted, my wife also works (at a wage commensurate to our area's wages, which is also less than $15/hr), but where we live we have a nice townhouse which is all paid for, we drive late model car and truck, we lack for nothing. Do we live large...
  14. How do you hire?

    If all that is true, how have I managed to live for the last 30 years on far less, while still buying a house, having vehicles to drive, etc.?
  15. How do you hire?

    Charging exorbitant college tuition rates for someone who will end up employed in a sign shop is the problem. Sign shops were not built on college graduates. And the pricing structure was not predicated on paying new hires $40,000 a year. Like much of the working world, things have been upended...
  16. Photo Shop file...anyone able to open this?

    I am pretty sure I bought them from 123rf.com
  17. Need Help Aluminum Business Cards?

    Cross-thread satire based on Chinese bot threads is hard to pull off.
  18. Latest version of Onyx RIP & Print using Corel X5 with windows 7

    I don't see where the version of Corel Draw will make any difference. You're going to be exporting eps or pdf files to import to Onyx, and the version of Corel Draw won't really matter with that.
  19. Need Help Aluminum Business Cards?

    On a somewhat unrelated note, does anyone know where I can get a ton of aluminum sheet and how much it might cost?
  20. Photo Shop file...anyone able to open this?

    That's actually two cliparts put together. I have used the foot one on a boat name and the lighthouse wave one on another job.
