Are you guys profiling your own media? If not and you cant find a premade profile that works then you might consider buying an i1 and do it yourself.

Have you tried a different media?

either one will work great for you. Onyx or caldera.

False. Buy from where you want. Just make sure you arnt accidentally using 3rd party inks.

We use Gerber Mask. Works fine. Just make sure your edges are pushed down and tight.

Automation isn't going away and its not going to lessen. Better to find new avenues of work to take advantage then to try and go against.

here is a question. When I compare the Ink Restriction Swatch to the Calibration Swatch they look identical. Shouldn't there at least be some sort of a difference in density? Otherwise why bother printing out and scanning two identical looking charts? I feel like this is where the software...

Maybe its me. But I have never had one of these types of devices ever come close to the color I was trying to scan.

Just got done profiling some media after upgrading from Postershop 7.2 to ProductionHouse 11 and using a brand new i1io I have to say... I'm disappointed with the results. The process was way easier this time around.(because basically everything is automated) The drawback is that the resulting...

Its hard to cut all right. My big problem is that masks with thin synthetic liners slide all over the place. So I experimented and put transfer tape on the liner side after wiping it off with alcohol. Works (mostly) like a charm.

From my experience even the summas cant cut prismatic effectively.

I love our Summa S140 T series. It was a huge upgrade over our Graphtec. The tangential cutting is a must have. Yeah its a little slower but we love the accuracy. Especially when it comes to small fonts and such. Plus the tracking is always spot on. Only thing I wish it handled better is...

It depends on what I am sending. I try to keep the format the same. eg: vectors saved as .eps and photos and other raster based graphics get sent as flattened tifs. If a file has both vector and raster then I will export it as a flattened tif. Its really not a big deal which way you do it...

That whole catalog/company with the cowboy redneck aesthetic just doesn't do it for me. It comes off as creepy and weird. You are selling sign supplies. Not horse tack. But hey I'm a hippy in the NW.

Generally speaking yes a 12 pass will put down more ink. This is not 100% though. It depends on how the person set up the profile.

What is the advantage of printing on a display film then using optically clear adhesive to mount it? Why not just use a clear adhesive vinyl? It seems like adding in an extra step for no benifit that I can think of. Can you explain the reasoning?

Did the anti static help at all? I'm out of suggestions!

unless you are sticking it on or really close to a circuitboard it will be fine.

We use IJ180CV3 for all our vehicle wraps. Our install guys like it the best and the prints look great.

http://www.xrite.com/documents/literature/en/L7-519_i1_Family_2012_en.pdf What are they talking about when they mention RGB printers compared to CMYK printers? Would an RGB printer be something equivalent to our office printer like say a HP Deskjet? The i1 Photo Pro2 says it can profile RGB...
