  1. Brand New GFP Installed - Tips and Tricks?

    Just received our new GFP 563TH laminator yesterday. Got it all assembled last night and ran some jobs today. Seems to be a good machine so far. One thing we noticed is there seems to be a fine line between too much/too little pressure on the rollers, and it tended to buckle a bit on the middle...

  5. Does Fellers short everybody on small orders of "vinyl by the yard"?

    THIS. you should be doing this whether Fellers sent it to you or you had some scrap piece laying around.
  6. Are you guys finding it harder and harder to actually talk to a customer?

    Communication is dead. Everyone uses the cop out of " Oh, I emailed you, you must not have got it." BS. Email doesn't have a 50/50 chance of arriving in your mailbox. Either you sent it or you didn't, unless you typed the email address wrong, which 99.5% of the time, you will get a response...
  7. Does doing it right matter?

    OMG I have someone here who does that with Flexi files! Can't drill in to her head how to use masks, and instead will cover crap with white boxes all over. And then wonders why her 18" x 24" layout, when all selected, is 21.356" x 38.2871"
  8. Best place to hire experienced sign people?

    All interesting perspectives from everyone. We are about to need to hire a Graphic Designer, hopefully someone with sign experience and can help with table work, nothing crazy.

  11. OK HP Latex gurus.... color issue

    Well like I said before, I am pretty sure that multiple pass counts in one profile were much closer to each other than these 2 are. Maybe some colors are more "close" than others, and this particular image is one exception. I just have to make sure anything with solid greys in it must be run at...
  12. OK HP Latex gurus.... color issue

    LOL.. yes, I have both profiles, selectable in Production Manager. And both have been calibrated.
  13. OK HP Latex gurus.... color issue

    So here goes....on our 560 I have an issue with one set of profiles, for an intermediate vinyl . I have a 6pass and a 10pass I use. Colors are spot on in 6pass, but run the same image in 10 pass and they change, quite a bit. A grey color in this particular image turns almost purplish in the 10...
  14. Aurora Graphics blues print purple

    Those Aurora files are probably RGB.....I have found RGB blues tend to translate to more of a purple. Convert to CMYK and adjust accordingly.

  16. Getting customers to check proofs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

    Hire a competent designer who not only proofreads their own work, but whatever the customer sends. Don't make a sign unless everything makes sense to YOU and what YOU would want it to say. Just because "their" is spelled right in their copy when it should be "there" doesn't necessarily make it...
