  1. Best choice for a color

    Brightest yellow I use is is Pantone 102 C. Agree that you're best bet would be to print your own chart.
  2. Trying to get into the biz

    You're not confusing "shrinkage" with a media feed issue are you? i.e. prints come out shorter than expected. We had a Mimaki before the motherboard went out and was gonna cost another $7k to fix so we opted to "upgrade" to an HP latex simply to be able to laminate right away. Printed several...
  3. Flexi 19 Color Management

    You didn't mention what type of file you're printing. We have found that using Pantone colors will produce the best color output. 90% pdf's but if too raster heavy, RGB tiff @ 150dpi.
  4. Trying to get into the biz

    Shrinkage sounds more like bad media and/or laminate. Colors? Yes, way too many media profiles required and colors shift with each change of the inks. The HP we have is a pia to change out media 5-6 times a day. I will say HP seem to have listened to us users and implemented a new loading...
  5. Trying to get into the biz

    You'll also want to have lower grade media on hand for simple sign work and another for flat surfaces such as box trucks. The good wrap vinyl & laminate is overkill for these. Any way to cut cost is a good thing. Also consider a "hood laminate" not sure what the technical term is but it's...

  8. New PC Specs i would need for Adobe Design Software

  9. Question Just want to understand EPS files

    EPS files are not the most cross compatible format to use. Don't know why designers can't get that through their heads. Flat colors and eps is fine but gradients NO, NO, NO. 9 times out of 10 I can open in illustrator then save as pdf and then I can use it in corel.

  12. Just In Sheet Yield Nesting/Imposition Calculator

    I prefer width and height. a 4 x 8 sheet of coro would be 4'h x 8'w (landscape) or 4'w x 8'h (portrait) Have to make it dummy proof. is 3/4/200 March 4, 200 or April 3, 2000? That's why the military writes it as "3 Mar 2000" no confusion, no margin for error Just me I guess
  13. Discussion I was thinking........................ uh-oh

    I'm gonna change my profession to Brain Surgeon. First thing I'll do is find that stupidity connector and snip it. I live within 3 miles of the shop yet still cannot leave the house without encountering stupidity in some way, shape or form!
  14. Best Mice For Graphics?

    That hammer that cost $150 dollars does nothing by itself. Now take that $15 Ace Hardware hammer in the right hand, or left for that matter. Now actually hit some nails. Gets the job done just the same.
  15. Discussion I was thinking........................ uh-oh

    That's an impressive resume. :dog42:
  16. Question Print result size is less than the size I want to print

    Should be a way to adjust media feed. It's not unusual for longer prints to vary in size as media feed is "fickle" thing. Too much will cause longer prints and too little will cause shorter
  17. First game of NFL football tonight

    We enjoyed going to high school football games when the boys were in school and watched many college and pro ball but something has killed it altogether for me and many others. There are many other things in life to enjoy and stay busy without sitting on the couch for hours. And from what I've...
  18. Screen printed Decals

    No reason they can't be printed. The vehicle wrap vinyl we use is pretty damn thin even with laminate.
