thank you sooo much! The red acrylic is for the color intensity, right? Is there a significant cost difference when you use all polycarb? What kind of trimcaps do you use?

Hi all! I'm trying to find a good rule of thumb on when to default to polycarbonate faces and f-retainers versus acrylic and jewelite, beyond the general rule of 3-4' letter height. Can anyone share knowledge or experiences that influence your decisions on when to spec either of these? Thank...

Sorry Not sure why i posted that... anyway I see you're in Austin too! Cool! Thanks for the clarification/education on this issue. So i guess for the time being i'm just looking for a good workaround. I'd love to hear from anyone else that has this same issue, if you've found any out of the box...

The Arlon vinyl I'm using does not have any profiles available for this printer/rip combo. the vinyl profile causes the color to shift a little but not enough to make a difference. I've noticed that assigning a color a shade or 2 lighter tends to give good results too. What WTCsigns said is...

How would you go about starting that process? Can you give me any specific direction for this machine/setup? I understand the complexity and various factors that go into color reproduction. I've been doing signs and digital printing for about 5 years, and I found that Roland had pretty...

Hi all! My shop just got a Mimaki CJV 150-300 with Rasterlink 6. I've done a lot of large format printing on Rolands but this is a new setup for me. My problem is that any PMS colors that are assigned in the artwork do not come out close to the actual colors- they are mostly too dark and...

Hi all! Can anyone help me ID this font (12) or suggest some similar ones? thank you!!

Hi all, can anyone point me in the direction of this font? It looks like Bank gothic but is more bold/condensed than any variety i can find. thanks!!SaveSave

Good morning, In Flexi, does anyone know whether there is a way to format the text in the dimension tool to be in fractions, rather than decimals? Similar to how corel's dimension tool can be set to Architectural, Engineering, fractional, etc? I can't seem to find any info at all! Perhaps...

This one is stumping me this morning and I feel like it should be easy? Hope it is for someone else!

Yeah, that's what I already did created a multipage PDF... but it's quote-unquote "not working" per the printer... just thought there might be another method i'm not familar with.

Hi folks! Hoping someone can help me out with what I feel should be a fairly simple thing but it's stumping me. I'm trying to produce art for 300+ apartment unit numbers that will be reverse printed and applied 2nd surface. I've done a lot of digital printing but never had a job using this many...

I am happy to report that after going over the edges of the 3268 wall graphics with a heat gun and roller, they are staying down and look good, per my client. I applied arlon 4560GTX on a separate wall area. It was easy to install and stuck well. They are going to let me know how it is to remove.

Hi all! I have a partial roll of digital media paper that prints AWESOME. It's a satin/semigloss finish, medium to heavy weight paper, printed with a Roland Soljet pro XR640. The problem is someone else ordered it and I have no idea what it is. Can anyone help me identify it by the marks inside...

For large graphics, start with the highest quality files you can get and enlarge from there. I personally have been really, really impressed with Alien Skin Blow Up software. Another trick is to enlarge in increments, instead of going from 24" to 96", go 24" to 30" to 36"... etc until you reach...

Unfortunately repainting the wall with a different paint is not an option at this point as this is for a gallery exhibit that opens in a week. They can only touch-up paint with the same paint as necessary after the graphics are removed. At this point I need a solution: something to stick to the...

sorry it is applied to an interior painted wall with a flat finish. The wall was painted Dec. 10, so they only allowed 8 days of drying before the graphics were installed. And they just told me that it's a zero-VOC latex. This is probably the issue. DAMN!! Looks like it will need to be...
