  1. Printing A Color Swatch Table For Reference.

    To what are your rendering intents set?
  2. FONT HELPPPP!!!

    I was commenting on the draftsmanship, not the style which appears to be Early High School Binder Cover Gothic.
  3. FONT HELPPPP!!!

    Hand lettered. A reasonably good job but hand drawn nonetheless.
  4. Summa S2 T160 start and endpoint dont match

    Now that you've done all of the really obscure and mostly useless steps, do this. Remove any dust cover on the tool carriage and, with a bit of compressed air, blow out all of the dust and crud that's been accumulating there. Pay special attention to the tool's up/down mechanism. See if that...
  5. Print & Cut onto Metallic material / smashed glass

    If you have the capability with your setup, the easy way is to just use manual marks. You position the 'laser' dot or blade if you have no light pen capabilities, over each mark in turn. The hard way is to register the media in the printer, print just the marks, place a square of white vinyl of...
  6. Colors way off

    What are you attempting to print? Vector? Bitmap? CMYK? RGB? Next, to what are your Rendering Intents set? Without knowing these things any advice offered most likely is somewhat less than effective. Finally, in general and assuming a reasonably healthy printer, if what's on your monitor is not...
  7. Need Help Why do illustrator drop shadows get saved at the same size as the artboard when converting to pdf.?

    There's a number of things that don't import well from platform to platform. These are things for which there are no standards and each of them is proprietary to the platform that created them. Things like gradients, transparencies, drop shadows, and even outlines/strokes, as well as others...
  8. With a heavy heart!!

    Godspeed Fred.
  9. Brush stroke canvas

    Print on regular canvas, get some Mog Pogge, add your own brush strokes.
  10. FONT ID HELP !!!

    Using this type face in all caps might be considered less than professional typography in many circles. Then again, arching anything in title or lower case is considered worse.
  11. CMYK VS RGB Roland SG2-300

    Every so often someone opens the gate and lets the coloristas out. To answer your question, use RGB for bitmaps and CMYK (or RGB) for flat filled vector objects. Set your rendering intents to 'Perceptual' for bitmaps and to "No Color Correction' or 'Saturation' for everything else. Print a...
  12. Scaling Images

    6'8", not 7' is the standard height for common doors.
  13. D75 Cant find first crop mark

    Most likely it has to do with some small difference in reflected light when attempting to read that particular mark. Or not. How's that for egregious equivocation?
  14. How long to you warranty wraps?

    Any sort of work on vehicles gets our standard 5/50 warranty. 5 minutes or 50 mph, which ever occurs first.
  15. Outgassing in 6 hours?

    'Outgassing' is something that's frequently used to scare small children into going to sleep. When a solvent print passes the fingertip glide test, it's ready for any further processing. Such as lamination, application, or whatever. Fingertip glide test: Close your eyes and lightly drag a...
  16. Urgent Design Help

    Lose the button with the + inside. Don't use clipart in this sort of thing. Ever.. The attempt at small caps for 'Urgent Care' is particularly dreadful. The italic 'EXPRESS' needs even more skew if it's supposed to imply speed. Right now it looks like a mistake. The two text lines should not be...
  17. Better looking sign

    The replacement is OK. It, as well as all of their printed material, could be much better with a different type face selection.
  18. Need Help Blade force on very thick overlaminate

    Turn the blade length adjustment knob on the blade holder clockwise to extend and, of course, counter clockwise to retract. Each turn is supposed to be 0,5mm. Careful, a little bit is a lot when diddling the blade length. Turn it an 1/8" or so until it cuts the material and leaves an impression...
  19. Need Help Blade force on very thick overlaminate

    Then extend the blade a bit. The proper setup is some combination of down force and blade extension. One size most certainly does not fit all.
