  1. Question Storage for Sheet Materials

    We have this same sort of rack in our outdoor garage. We also have this inside climate controlled for foamcore. Rods hang down from the steel roof beams.
  2. Need Help coreldraw X8 eps file corrupt

    Same export settings as before?
  3. Versaworks - Removing all the spacing between copies?

    All pfd's sent to us as "print ready" get checked first. How do I check them? Import them into Corel. 9 times out of 10 they aren't the size given by the customer. They either forgot to include a "sign blank" or forgot to include the "artboard" I have no idea. Another annoyance is sending a file...
  4. Versaworks - Removing all the spacing between copies?

    I see it as the same thing. Either you let the RIP do the "nesting" or multiple copies, or you handle the nesting yourself within the design program. If done within the design program there is no doubt, less margin for error and less time for the Print Tech to set up.
  5. Versaworks - Removing all the spacing between copies?

    We have found that even after setting to 0 that there is still a gap. Plus we often nest multiple prints together and it's much easier to do by the designer than the Print Tech. If you're left with an odd number of prints you end up with space that cannot be utilized by nesting with flexi...
  6. picking up where I left off...

    If it were a print and cut and If you know about what has been cut and what has not you could just delete those cut lines and press on.
  7. Printing Grey with HP Latex 360

    You'll end up with a "murky brown" Best result is with R0 G0 B0 or C45 M45 Y45 K100
  8. Printing Grey with HP Latex 360

    My 2 cents worth. Grays? As cmyk or Pantone? I've found that Pantone grays are much better. Probably something to do with the way the default RIP converts the Pantones. p.s. NEVER EVER USE C0 M0 Y0 K100 for black.
  9. Does anyone have good wrap design resources?

    Just checking, as my research wasn't turning up anything, is "Bacement" the Canadian spelling of Basement?
  10. Image resolution in prepress vs. rip

    export for print at 150dpi with LZW compression. Any more is overkill unless print is under 15inches or so and will be "in your face".
  11. Fat head requests for high school graduation

    Yes, know the product. We just needed a generic name to call these "big heads" all the family members want to "shake" around during graduation events or sports games. We just started calling them fat heads for simplicity.
  12. Fat head requests for high school graduation

    coro with vertical flutes
  13. Fat head requests for high school graduation

    We do these all the time. Best photo from an original source i.e. not facebook, not a photo of a photo, not a low res from a cell phone. No matter what, we ultimately print our decal at 150 -300 dpi with LZW compression as an rgb tiff. Apply the decal to 4mm coro and cut with an x-acto then use...
  14. How do you manage your color match

    I'm old at this and have never understood why the difference either. If I print a pdf with pantone and wth 110pass it's very close but if I send using the cmyk formula by the swatch book it's way off.
  15. Why are my colors so different?

    Tried that too as suggested by SAi. No go. It was more than color shifting. Transparent png's were no longer transparent. All had "ghosting" of a background. However, I understand there have been some updates to 19 since but....we're too scared to mess with it.
  16. Why are my colors so different?

    We did the exact same. Had to fight tooth and nail with our Print Tech over it. Wasn't until I forwarded an email I had received directly from SAi telling me to go back to 12 that persuaded him to comply.
  17. Why are my colors so different?

    Had to ask. We only use Flexi Production Manager to handle the prints but design in Corel. We export as pdf to a "hot folder" for our Print Tech to sort thru. Only time we rasterize is if we get a file that was all raster to begin with or it's too complex for pdf to handle.
  18. Why are my colors so different?

    What software are you using to rasterize it? May be your color setting within the software.
  19. Hate Thieves

    Depends on the type of signs. We had a realtor supposedly get 10 double-sided corrugated yard signs stolen. Turns out it was the city. Just like political signs are required to be removed within a certain period of time too. I think some municipalities even invoke a fine if not complied with.
