  1. Illustrator and photoshop not printing same blue.

    The way I've done it is you have to make your selection of what you want the spot colour, then click on channels, then create new alpha channel. Depending on how many spot colours your printer is capable of printing, it will match what the rip's Spot colour order is (alpha channel 1 - spot...

  4. Oki (Seiko) w-64s print head question

    Fantastic! Thanks! Yeah I know about the wiper, I just put one in a couple days ago so it should be alright. Funny you mentioned the old wiper blade (straight across) the last maintenance kit I got had the old wiper blade in it and when I had the tech in he gave me **** about using it and said...
  5. Oki (Seiko) w-64s print head question

    I've got an issue with my Y printhead (assuming its the damper in the head), I've tried soaking it for a couple hours in NMP fluid and my Y ink is still dropping out. It started with Air in the Y line, replaced multiple "o"rings and have finally got the line sealed up and still having issues...
  6. summa flexicut

    You should be able to use winplot (which comes with summa products if im not mistaken) and you should be able to set it in there (select which line to flexcut and which to contour cut). I've really only used the flexcut option through onyx cutserver here so not too sure how to do it the other...
  7. Window perf on truck window

    I would do it again but let him know the cost again to re-do it and its COD. You know for a fact that it's not just failing and you redid it the first time without having too out of good faith. This time I would make him pay or he will just keep doing it. Chaz
  8. Poor Templates

    We haven't had this issue with Gemini Canada, but also it is very rare that I let Gemini choose the stud placement. I always order letters flush stud and supply the pin pattern (with aluminum spacers if spaced off wall - painted to match if requested by client). It costs a little bit more but...
  9. Fred- Clicking on thread links opening web pages in background...

    getting same thing here, avg returns no virus and malware returns nothing either... happens when I click on a post. Chaz
  10. remove old letters & install new- questions

    unfortunately that is not true, the stainless steel blades will scratch the glass, you want the carbon blades. Also it depends on the type of glass, looking at the photo being up that high it would either be laminated glass or tempered/heat strengthened. If it is tempered pray that it is not the...
  11. Etchmark Installation

    Premask the cut outs with a medium tack mask, wet install, wet mask heavily once installed and remove mask carefully. Chaz
  12. Corrupted file in Gerber Omega Composer 4.0

    I would like to know if anyone has found a solution to this as well.. I've had a few files that have given me the corrupt issue. I've pretty much written the files off and hope that I don't ever have to use them again. Chaz
  13. What should I look for before buying a used printer?

    White ink is great in theory but it takes A TON of work! it gums up very quickly! Unless you plan on printing white frequently (every day or two) its not worth having the white ink. Good luck on your search, but the only way I would ever buy a used printer would be a dealer refurb. Chaz
  14. Print on Clear with multiple layers

    Sounds to me like it's in the file. I've got an Epson s50670 and I've done this sort of thing a couple of times now. Not sure how it works in Flexi as I use onyx but if you have your spot colour identified with overprint selected on the text where there will be colour and then setup in flexi...
  15. tint commercial windows

    Being a 3m dealer of solar and security solutions in AB I would suggest to sub it out. Without the correct tools/knowledge on installing it will either A) look like crap when installed B) cost you a few sheets to get one up that is passable C) not crack the windows due to thermal breakage. If...
  16. Any suggestions on a 220V USB

    We have something similar in our shop. Works great, we've been getting a TON of storms lately and we've had lots of power surges and it kills power before anything can even reach the electrical panel. WELL worth the investment! Chaz
  17. New to Old version Gerber. Gerber compose etc. 3.0

    I agree... Just use composer to design something this simple. Use TT Font converter (which comes with composer) which will make the font usable in composer (assuming if you have the font running in corel you have it installed on your computer). Bam... your done and off to the races! Chaz
  18. removable vinyl

    Depending on your application, we use a short term 3m vinyl (IJ 36-20) which is great for indoor advertising. Its life if I can remember is something like 3-6 months or 6-9 months (I could be totally wrong). It removes without leaving any adhesive which makes it a breeze. There is another one...
  19. Using the term "die cut" vinyl lettering

    I think bringing up the topic is important. If the trade is using the wrong terminology then it gets passed to the end user, which then gets brought to another shop, they quote for what was asked and then the whole thing blows up for the company. Now saying that I'm speaking for all the terms in...
  20. Best transfer method for Frosted Crystal on glass

    I would try wiping the frosted crystal with ISO %99 before cutting. We've had the same issue, seems like 3M has made the adhesive more aggressive or adjusted the non stick coating on the liner. We've used the 3M SCPS-55 high tack mask and with a lot of elbow grease you can get it off the liner...
