Adobe has a lot of tools for increasing size and quality of images. Adobe Bridge has one and Adobe Photoshop has the new AI filters that has clean up and enhancements. There are also tools in Google when searching for images where you can select 'large' that helps out alot just to get a better...

That sounds more complicated than I think it needs to be. So does he's price change? Let's say you quote out a price, client accepts than you negotiate with your employee for the job?

So it sounds like you are currently farming out all your design stuff. So the rate is usually dictated by the designer. I would think that they would bill you by each project. That being said, if it's your company I would put in the time to learn different design software and some basic layout...

So the issue is the vertical seam? What if you do the top of the glass, than do the bottom of the glass giving you a horizontal seam? If you're using 54" or 60" material this should keep it out of the sight line. Maybe you could than also update the client to a ddecorative band or graphic to...

How are you applying it? How are you doing the butt joint? Basically what's your process from start to finish? Also if your doing a whole building, that is a lot energy being absorbed and dissipated throughout the day. There is going to be movement no matter what.

FYI if you mix materials neither will warranty it, and if there is any failure it's completely on you.

I think that your system might just be out of date, and it might be time to upgrade. That being said, I don't think you need a CD to reinstall the plotter. You should be able to select it from the drop down menu in Flexi. Also depending on how you have it set up, USB or either net cable, with...

So pro tip.... When foil printing, I don't think that your work area can ever be clean enough. Unlike large format, the rolls usually sit close to the table surface and dirt will jump up to the roll. So I think that you have two maybe three issues here. One is a dirty work area. The second...

I think what your asking has more to do with your rip program after you create the art file. R ips will have a 'tile' option that you can set overlap and can rotate. For example on Flexi, let say you're print a graphic that is 200"x120", and you're using 54" material. The rip will...

Use illustrator or Indesign for this process it's much easier. In Illustrator you can use the transform menu to sent number of duplicates and spacing.

Most likely something they built in Photoshop. If it were me, I would ask them to save it to 150dpi, and export/save as a .pdf file. In the options you can save as I think 'high quality press'. Select the box to make it not editable and than save. It should bring it down the file size...

Just throwing this out there, and not sure if I missed it, but have you looked at a latex printer? You don't have to wait on the out gassing, and can use a wide array of media. I also agree that getting independent machines will help you out alot. I know that the Print/Cut machines sounds...

So the Roland has Pizo heads, these can be sensitive to electrical issues. There could be a variety of issues due to the possible power fluctuating. Definitely get a tech in there to take a look.

For the 3M window films we keep it as simple as possible for installs. Clean the glass with soapy water, wipe down with IPA. Spray glass with light mist of soapy water, spray back of film with light mist of soapy water. Apply film, start from the center and work your way out. Look on the back...

Probably not screwed. Do a few cleaning cycles on it. Make sure the rail is clean and lubed. Run a few test prints and calibrations for the print head. Should be fine.

Yes. Many corporate jobs have a printer and send out kits to local installers. This is one of the biggest points of certification. Companies can go to 3M, look for certified installers to do the job. Up here we deal with kits all the time from Coke, Pepsi, Hilton, Marriott, Rent-A-Center...

We did plane graphics once for a bush plane. Simple stripes on the fuselage and wings. Should have been 3 hour 1 person job. Turned into 3 people total 15 hours. It was a canvas skin plane that was re-painted, and done so poorly. We had to re-cut material and the even then had to use...

Isn't IJ35 a calender material? Wouldn't you want to use a cast for long term outdoor flat sign? We always used IJ35 for temp yard signs and super cheap promo decals.

Ouch... but ya, this would be the way.

So any just about any file can carry a payload. In fact there is software (Metasploit is one example and it free and easy to use) specifically made that allows an attacker to create an exploit and embedd it into a .pdf. Once you open the file it notifies the attacker which will allow them to...
