  1. Wedding seating chart

    Yeah like Charlie said, we'd print white ink on clear acrylic on our flatbed. I wouldn't touch that with cut vinyl! (You may have more patience than me though)
  2. IJC257 vs IJC256

    I'm also curious about this. We've been running 256 since we got our Arizona 5 years ago and I'm happy with the color gamut and adhesion on most substrates, but I agree it does NOT cover any fingerprints or contaminants whatsoever. I've considered switching to aftermarket inks but I might...
  3. Outdoor Backlit signs image burned out after a year

    We've had this happen with 210 gloss before. Is that what you're using?
  4. Supplier/Price of Flexcon BusMark 5800 in Canada

    Thanks for this Karla. Will definitely keep your email on file and will reach out next time we need something.
  5. Looking for a new printer....need your opinions

    Which inkset are you going with? We went with LUS170 CMYKlclm and LUS200 WW. Happy with the unit so far (print quality and speed is awesome) but need to get some proper profiles made for onyx so we don't have to deal with Rasterlink anymore. Man....I guess I was spoiled with Versaworks...
  6. Need Help rTape - Brushed aluminum profile - SG-300

    Just try something like Generic Vinyl - High Quality 720x1440dpi and see what it looks like. Anything with high resolution/pass count should do the trick as a starting point.

    Walk away?
  8. Profiling/Color Management goals

    It's Rob from ND Graphics out of Calgary. He got our Mimaki set up yesterday and has been awesome to work with so far. The color management training alone was an extra $2400. We went with the i1 Publish Pro 2 and I got it from Amazon. Tried looking online, talked to X-rite and Amazon was by...
  9. Profiling/Color Management goals

    We have a tech here today and tomorrow to train us on a new Mimaki UCJV300-160 printer and we will also be getting some training on color management using our new i1 Publish Pro. We are using Onyx Thrive 19 and i1 profiler. What I'm hoping to achieve: -Understand the basic steps/concept of...
  10. What printer should I buy? Latex or UV?

    Will do! We're really excited to get this thing up and running. Also upgraded everything in the shop over to Onyx Thrive 19 and finally got an i1, so lots of big changes. My brain hurts already but it's going to make for an interesting couple of weeks.
  11. What printer should I buy? Latex or UV?

    We're getting installed on Monday.....stand by for full review....
  12. Need Help with a PDF

    Man is that ever a weird PDF. Wayne beat me to it, was gonna say there are some weird security things happening there. It's also editable in Acrobat Pro without even going into Edit Mode. I tried importing into Corel and just shows a blank box that links back to the PDF when you click on it...
  13. Hanging Banners - Dowels

    No worries. I thought that was a bit big lol.
  14. Hanging Banners - Dowels

    Awesome, thanks. Would love to see how you guys did them. We've done a few and I'm generally fairly happy with them but still feel like we could make them nicer/better.
  15. Hanging Banners - Dowels

    Anyone regularly doing hanging banners (tradeshow, events, concerts etc) care to share how/ you guys set up dowels? Size-wise, I'm talking banners anywhere from 3' x 8' to 8' x 15'. Anything under 10' wide we've used wood, pvc, or galvanized conduit, with taped pole pockets and grommets...
  16. Need Spectrophotometer for Onyx

    Thanks Pauly. Waiting for someone from X-Rite to give me a call back with pricing on both options. Based on what I saw online Publish is 3x the cost of the Basic so I suppose I have to decide if the added features are worth the added expense. Hopefully they can shed some light on that.
  17. Mimaki UCJV-300 Reviews

    I might just take you up on that! Thanks again!
  18. Need Spectrophotometer for Onyx

    Thanks Pauly, appreciate your input. So if you had to choose one, would you choose the Publish Pro version? There is a bit of an increase in price over Basic, but I don't want to limit myself. We're going to get some color management/profiling training while the tech is here installing a...
