Can't believe not one mention of what a pia the 360 is to switch media. This was something we noticed on day 1. Ours has given us minimal problems otherwise. If you're a smaller shop that changes media often, you'll certainly get a workout. Colors? Well forget about getting a rich red that you...
Print and "Punch cut"? Meaning you can pluck all the decals out after cutting? We don't have the printer/plotter you have but we've gotten into the habit of die cutting decals in a different way. We first do a normal cut, not punch, then use a seperate contour for the punch (.08-.125"). The...
Simple. Do the split in Corel, set them side by side, export as pdf to the Hot Folder. Print Tech sees it drop into Production Manager and prints without having to set anything other than the substrate and print profile.
Imports good with X7 but 4 problems I see that I'd have to fix.
1. Text not centered - easy fix
2. Text line spacing set to use points - good thing I made a macro to correct that.
3. The "R" in MANCHESTER logo - easy fix
4. Sure wish adobe users would quit using PANTONE Process Black C as a...
Are you talking about this?
With nothing selected grab the Dimension Tool go to the Object Properties Docker and set your properties here. A pop-up should appear asking if you want that as default, leave dimension checked and hit ok. Now go Object\Save settings as default
On a blank doc select the text tool, open the Text Properties Docker (Ctrl+t) , set your spacing to 0% and hit enter. You should get a popup asking if you want that to be set as default. Ensure all are checked then hit ok. Then go to Object/Save Setting as Default.
Avoid dark colored backgrounds especially on pvc. We have a laminate that we call "hood" laminate. It's specifically made for horizontal surfaces that get a lot of direct sunlight (car hoods/roofs/trunks). Unfortunately I don't know the specs on it. Our Print Technician knows all about it though.
Could the printer manufacturers share in this fault. When this happens with the HP's it errors out and will not let you continue even after cutting it from the core. Seems to me all they had to do is have a sensor detect the resistance and "PAUSE" with a "CHECK MEDIA FEED" message thus allowing...
Possibly. You could manually draw in reg marks at a precise location then do the same in your layout. That way you can "split" your cut file into sections.
Carpet? Holy crap! Don't even consider it! Polished or painted concrete all the way. Bring in a leaf blower once in a while and blow out the cobwebs and dust bunnies. Don't do it while printing or lamination though.
imo two separate units work better. Latex for print and whatever for plotting. We currently use an HP360 - cons: pia to change out media, colors are extremely hard to nail especially simple red. A Mimaki for plotting. Want to laminate right away? Latex is the way to go.
Don't have access to the actual vehicle? Use the template but don't cut anything until vehicle is on hand for measurements or ask to see the vehicle first. Just saying templates aren't a reliable source.
