I usually would do this with a version of acrobat that came on 1 of the computers I have had for 10 years. These days either it can't open the files or fails in exporting to high res jpg or tiff with info missing. Whats an inexpensive software that will do this? I have Signlab and Flexi but...

Today I went under and checked with a high powered LED light and sure as shlt I find a little piece of scrim thread mixed with lint hiding behind the black head..... sheesh

I never did anything except put a roll of cheap vinyl in and now it is printing perfectly.... Yes I know a hair or lint will create havoc, but I cleaned it all yesterday so I know that it is not anything to do with outside interference.. I mean possibly that other roll of vinyl (good...

That title sucks, Not sure how to describe it but lately my printer (mimaki jv3 130spll) is what can only be described as dripping ink at the top of the y axis outside the graphics area. So basically each pass it will have a thin line of black at the top of the vinyl. I have cleaned the heads...

I enjoy sports when it matters... I love baseball but with a 162 game season, every game seems so meaningless. Football on the other hand has such a short amount of games almost all are important. I still watch golf every weekend if it is raining or miserable out, and I love the majors and...

I removed every screw that got in my way and they all went in perfectly and tightened well. This was a new trailer. The screws never spun the vinyl although I know what your saying as I have seen that happen with individual letters...wrap is a little different. Graphic looked great and the...

I do work with one of the many new cannabis companies up here in Ontario. Within walking range of my shop , there facility must be 100,000 sq ft and they only process the oils there. They have greenhouses down near Niagara Falls and grow all their own plants. A huge industry has sprouted from a...

I took the original png file then saved it as a pdf file then opened it in acrobat and exported it back out as a jpg. Finally came in with no yellow backing.

Glad it all worked out Gino. My blood boils when I have to deal with stuff like that. Think about all the vinyl and prints you throw out because it is your mistake....not like you can charge for it... I don't want to pay for the clients mistake, but if they give you as much as you say I...

My Flexi is a print cut program so limited tools Unfortunately flexi my version of Flexi will not recognise png files

I can't figure this out. Customer sent me a png file, I set up a proof for a decal in Signlab, sent them a pdf proof and get the job. I send the png, the pdf and I also exported the file as a jpg and a tiff and every time I import it into Flexi it puts a yellow background around the copy...

During the winter months I don't mind coming in on a Saturday for a few hours to play catch up, but I don't generally take on customer work as all suppliers are closed and if I need something I am out of luck. From Mid may to sept. I won't come in at all, unless I need to get tools to do...

Gino, of course I will pay the piper. The customer, who is a friend but also a very good friend of the designer who left it a little too long never asked about a price. I just was curious what a piece this large generally goes for? I never do anything without knowing a price, but when...

I had to get a single sided white back pillow cover done for a display that is about 10' x 8'. The people I normally use were jammed so I took it to another large wholesale printer and they came through, but their price for the same item was almost 3 times as high. It puts me in a bind but...

I get this with 3rd party ink at times and usually turn the main power off on the printer and take out the cartridge, re-insert and then power up and back to normal. My printer is 10 years old and the 3rd party ink is less than half of OEM ink, so I don't worry to much if I have to replace the...

Sales of Playboy and Penthouse would sky rocket lol

If you look close at the wire frame everything is perfect... File is never resized either. The plotter cuts just about everything else perfectlly. I will say that on some files that have a lot of copy that were sent to us as eps files I generally break the paths and then re-make the path as...

I have a couple of files I can think of that over the years get more and more screwy... I just finished weeding 25 logos for a customer that I have been cutting for well over ten years. They take a long time to cut and are a bit intricate with quite a bit of copy. I can see in this particular...

It may have misread one of the crop marks is all I can think of. Mine has done that usually when I am not watching and it somehow finds a crop mark that is not there...sometimes it actually picks up the edge of laminate as the mark.

It's outside until I work on it Saturday...So the same customer has this Lube truck brought in...Brand new from the dealer... So as I am looking at what the customer mocked up I see that there are these 2 rather large decals on the back end of the box, so I call her to say that the decals have...
