  1. Output method for LARGE file

    That doesn't matter when creating a file for a large wall mural. Why have a 200GB file for a billboard, choking your RIP and taking up so much space, when a 2GB file will look EXACTLY the same from 20 feet away.
  2. backlit adhesive film

    How do you manage to assign only the K printhead to print your black?
  3. Some colors randomly not getting ripped.

    No, it literally omits a color, not changing it. I had it happen. A rush job, with blue background and yellow letters. I set it to print, left the room, came back and I had a run of blue and white prints. I resent the same file with a different profile, same thing happened. Had to restart the PC...
  4. Gerber ION Solara owners who retrofitted their lamps and ink or scrapped it?

    I'm amazed any of these are still out there running. Used one at the previous company I worked for. Was a terrible machine for what we bought it for.
  5. Material you can color on?

    Poster paper is the best option, even though you said no paper.
  6. CAN YOU USE SCRAP PIECES IN AN HP 315?

    It isn't worth the hassle.Better to just nest as many jobs as you can. Any waste should already be figured in to your costs.
  7. Output method for LARGE file

    LZW IS lossless. TIF with JPG compression works well....set it around 10 and get good file sizes.
  8. New Plotter - FC9000 or something else?

    We did the same, but opted out on the cam. Do you think from your experience so far the cam is worth it? I heard it's just a tiny bit faster with it, and we are having pretty good results so far. I've had a few really long prints that seemed to have gone off track and ruined the prints. Just...
  9. A day in the life of a designer

    That is very regional. $25/hr in Cali is about $15/hr here. Which is low end. Actual graphic designers (non-sign industry) can fetch $25-35/hr here....but the Sign business is so different than ad agencies/design firms so that wage is always lower. I'd say an average wage for sign shop designer...
  10. Removing old cracked vinyl wrap from trailer

    Electric vinyl zapper..uses rubber wheels like erasers. https://www.fellers.com/fellers-shopping/cat/wrap-tools-and-supplies/sub/wrap-removal/set/mbx-electric-vinyl-zapper
  11. Flexi not remembering my open color tables

    When you do a proper "CLOSE" of the application, any changes to the color swatches prompts you to save them, as well as saving the setup of your workspace. If that's not working correctly than it's a glitch, and you probably should open up Preference Manager and do a reset.
  12. Laminate shrinking and lifting

    I've seen that same lifting with dry erase laminate, on an INDOOR application. Possibility someone grabbed the wrong roll?
  13. Suggestions for this installation pleast

    I would print full stripes on Controltac, lay as one piece, and move on to the next job.
  14. Custom hole puncher

    Coro? And it's 4MM, not mil. Terrible choice for those. I'd do .040 Styrene and router them.
  15. Suggestions New Printer/laminator

    Your childish name calling is really funny. I never called you any derogatory names, or slammed you for posting anything. I don't even know who you are. But thanks for showing what a bitter childish person you are. If the OP would like more insight, they can message me directly and even call to...
  16. Suggestions New Printer/laminator

    OP asked about Printers and Laminators and you suggested 2 plotter brands, so, yeah, I can read.
  17. backlit adhesive film

    We've been pretty happy with Briteline Translucent.
  18. Suggestions New Printer/laminator

    Summa and Graphtec make plotters, not laminators. Anyway, I suggest the GFP 563TH for a laminator.
  19. HP 560 Update won't download

    update - it is finally working through the web portal.
  20. HP 560 Update won't download

    Really confused with everyone's comments. New one is Storm 00_10_00.13, looks like it was released 8-19. My current version is STORM_00_07_00.7. It won't even begin download, so there is no error regarding downgrading as someone mentioned which makes no sense. I tried testing network...
