I run everything that is not a photo in cmyk. When I select or sample (eye dropper) it will say RGB Lab or CMYK. If it does not say CMYK then I simply select cmyk and thats it

With FS you need to explore the Production Manager aka PM. Here is the step by step to correct your issue. From your layout window select an item to plot and click the tab. When the PM launches look for the media with and Margins area. On the top of that you have 4 tabs Material, Panel size...

My color issues with FS 19 actually started at FS12. There are certain colors that I simply can not hit. Greens are the worst due to Yellow. FS 12 is where this started. My previous printer was an HP Latex 26500 and I could hit any color. Stochastic Diffusion was the default setting. When I...

It depends on the application. The "rule" is to use High grade Lams on the intermediate to increase longevity. and you never use intermediate laminate on Hi Pro vinyls. For Interior Industrial mounted prints or various signs I definitely love the 8509 in top of the IJ35C. I am testing the 35c...

Get with the Printhead doctor. If anybody has them, he will. I used his chips for years with the HP 9000 and had only one faulty chip. His Inks are degassed, and his website will boast that the inks go farther that the OEM Inks. They did. I am using a latex 560 printer that is under...

I do not know if this is viable to the conversation. A friend of mine is an interior decorator for many years and she always applies a special primer prior to application of the wall paper. I asked her why the extra expense, and she told me that she never has to return to touch up. 3m also...

Leo at Pioneer Neon taught me this. Leo ultimately went to work for Graphtec and he was lost to a plane crash in Dallas about 27 years ago. Truly one of the good ones. The Quick test is to remove blade holder and use your thumb nail to check for light scratch. When adjusting your blade/speed...

Do not get a 42" get a 54". You do this because if you expand your capabilities. the 54" will be absolutely essential, because most psa vinyls are becoming available in 54" I also have a 64" cutter. Conversely, I am needing yet another cutter for 24" I can slit a sheet of 54" and 27" will...

I do some work in AI on the MAC, and transport on a flash drive. Rule #1 is convert all strokes to Outlines. Rule #2 convert all text to paths. The exception is when you have the same font on the PC. ie. Times New Roman. When I move the file to the PC, I drop the file on the desktop. Then I...

From the PM go to the printer properties button that the top left or the PM window. This will launch a new window. The Cut Sheet after printing is a check box option at the lower LH of this window. You "Must" click APPLY. For printing you really need to look at "ALL" of the features in this...

Hi all, When applying Luster Lam to psa vinyl, I never had a silvering issue while using a Seal Pro 62 Cold Laminators. A conversation with the 3m rep for the Atlanta area revealed that cold is preferred but if you use heat then keep it between 90 & 100 deg f. Also important is to Not Stretch...

3m has media for this application. Not trying to promote but the folks at Grimco probably have this in stock.

This an easy auto trace, but the image needs adjusting first. On a MAC I open the image in preview and adjust the color. by playing with brightness and contrast to get it as close to black and white as the image will allow. From there you simply import it into Flexi or Illustrator and auto...

Samsung 27" curved screen. I have been in front of computer screens for close to 40 years. I really like this one the best. I find that the vectored lines is most important and this monitor gives it. Screen Colors vs. that of what is coming off the printer? No, I find that to be a near useless...

Coke uses standard Post Script fonts.(typically Adobe post script) Garamond or Garamond Pro Georgia will give you a good start too. easy to convert to paths and edit where needed. Cheers

My first Latex was a 26500. What a great printer that was Almost 900 rolls to end of life. Dec 30 2019 the Latex 560 went fully operational. I hate the material management but this printer is bad asz. The latex develops some odors when you are firing off full rolls and pumping 120% on any...

I have done this only a few times. I would venture to guess that on a 12" circle you would reduce the number of steps to 7 or 9 and that should speed things up. If my comment is off base please let me know.

Illustratos or Photoshop Rips this printer and does a beautiful job managing the colors. the drivers for the printer are in Adobe and with MACs. With the PC's you might have the drivers in the Software but if not you can download them. These are Aqueous Based Inks and Only good for short...

FS rips the Pantone library nicely but it needs to use color correction, and with the HP Latex printers it hits the colors. When you use the Pantone color bridge the CMYK looks muddy or milky. The Formula Colors look clean and Vibrant. PMS 286 is a great comparison color. Enter the numbers and...

3M IJ35 C-10 54"x 50 yards.. You MUST get the Comply Version "C" $228 a roll. IJ35 is the series C is for Comply Air Release and 10 is for Gloss I love printing on this and it is great for fleet markings, and temporary applications in that anybody can install it and it removes with little...
