  3. anyone have input on finding files big enough for large print?

    Topaz Gigapixel AI is a must for murals and large walls. Just used it on a Shutterstock image to upscale to 9ft H x 90ft W wall. would've been impossible without Topaz

    Raise prices. I'm not a one man shop but we do have limited capacity, my prices are dynamic depending on how busy we are.

  6. Meeting with corporate buyers

    This reminds me when I went to meet with my corporate buyer at their office I was wearing shorts and a tshirt (do not own pants and only wear "workout clothes"). When I was signing in at the office they had a rule of no shorts or skirts on production floor. I did see every one staring at my...

    The app made headlines a few years ago because it was claimed the app was a way for the Russians to collect face data as the pictures are sent for cloud processing
  8. Wanted - A Few Guinea Pigs for Testing

    There is a phone app called FaceApp , does all kinds of cool face filters from adding beards, changing age, expression etc. Looks like that is what PS is trying to do with the neural filters. I like to play around with the app and always wondered why PS or another desktop software doesn't do...
  9. Meeting with corporate buyers

    I recently got a big order from one of the major retailers, they needed some labels fast and their preferred supplier had materials stuck in container ships. First a junior purchasing associate came and looked at my shop, all I did was talk about my Colorado 1650 and showed him how fast and...
  10. Roland TrueVIS 640 printer

    Does the printer have white ink? Did you use the white spot color in illustrator/corel when designing? Does veraworks show that the file contains white ? There are some good videos online showing how to set up white and cutting files for versaworks
  11. How many are running Networked Attached Storage (NAS) for your files?

    I think I've only seen one other company (other than roommates) sell Disney wall decals, although it might have been something close to decals but not actual decals, some other type of wall décor. I wouldn't be surprised if roommates has an exclusive wall decal deal with Disney and all the other...
  12. How many are running Networked Attached Storage (NAS) for your files?

    Disney told me 80k per year to get on a waiting list to possibly be considered if a licensing spot opens up lol. Like you I was trying to compete with Roommates (York Wall Coverings, largest and oldest wallcovering producer in USA). That was about 10 years ago so I guess I'd be out 800k at this...

  14. What kind of computer do you guys run for a RIP?

    I design and get files ready for print at home. The home PC is my main PC and has every work related file on it and everything is backed up to 2 cloud services. Every morning I load up the new files on a portable hard drive and take them to the shop. At the shop I copy the files over to the RIP...
  15. What kind of computer do you guys run for a RIP?

    I have everything auto backed up to 2 cloud services but I need all those files on the rip pc because any one of the files could be needed that day. Getting it even from a local server/NAS takes too long. not sure if there is a way to rip from a NAS, haven't looked into it too much but it would...
  16. What kind of computer do you guys run for a RIP?

    The holdup is I have 15 TB of data and adding 100gb daily during busy times , mechanical is the only way. having 2 local copies of 15TB and growing gets expensive. i do lots of wall murals and when everything is split up into panels each order ends up being 5+ Gigs. I like to keep the files for...
  17. What kind of computer do you guys run for a RIP?

    I purchased a new rip PC when I bought a Colorado. Ryzen 5800x, 32 gig ram and adding more and more Hard drives as needed. Handles Onyx 422 no problem, sometimes I'll open 20+ files that are 1 gig each and it rips them no problem. The mechanical HD read speed is the bottleneck with the huge files

    I have an old computer converted to a server running True NAS getting backed up to Carbonite and Backblaze, Right now there are 4 10TB drives in the server, mirrored for a total of 20TB storage. Running low on space so will add more, the mother board has 8 sata plugs so still have some room to...
