  1. Zoo Printing opinions?

    Anyone have experience with them? Any pros or cons to using them? Now, I'm kind've thrown for a loop here, so sorry if some of this sounds a bit random. There's going to be a Zoo Printing facility opening up not too far from here, same town we're in actually. Here's my predicament: we're getting...
  2. Carbonite

    I use Crashplan as well, and +1 on that last sentence.
  3. Free CS2 Either individually or as a package from Adobe

    FYI guys, this was a mistake on Adobe's part, you're not actually legally entitled to download it even though you can. From Lifehacker: There's also a Forbes article on what exactly happened.
  4. VPN Software

    This article might be able to help you out: http://lifehacker.com/5900969/build-your-own-vpn-to-pimp-out-your-gaming-streaming-remote-access-and-oh-yeah-security
  5. 600 denier nylon?

    @John, thanks for the link, but do you know the name of it? I can't make heads or tails of most of the stuff on that site. I'm seeing a lot of architectural stuff and tent material and bullet-proof materials but no flag or banner stuff. @BlueFish, trying to keep it in house, salesperson already...
  6. Story has nothing to do with signs.

    Nothing quite like the feeling of knowing you've personally helped someone out who really needed it. Reminds of this one time I was driving home from work this past summer. I was stopped at the light at the end of the exit ramp I get off of, and there was an older guy standing in the grass...
  7. 600 denier nylon?

    So today I got a request from a customer for banners printed on 600 denier nylon. Did some googling and the only thing that really came up was some kinda polyester flag material, Poly Oxford. Never used a flag material before, so I'm kinda lost. Can anyone recommend a good brand of material for...
  8. What do you collect

    I don't actively collect them, but I've got about a dozen Pink Floyd shirts.
  9. photo-tex

    It might stick to the wall unprinted, but with the extra weight of the ink it won't. Just went through this same scenario with a customer last week, printed on white static cling first, ended up having to reprint on PhotoTex because the cling peeled itself right off the wall. When they could get...
  10. Roland SP540V Photo Settings

    Prepress US, and under Properties set Raster to Perceptual. That's your best bet.
  11. Versaworks settings for printing photos

    Use Prepress US, then click the Properties button under it and set Raster to Perceptual. If the colors still aren't coming out right the only other thing I can suggest is trying a different profile. You'd be amazed how wildly the quality can vary printing on the same media with different...
  12. Rear Window Perf - compound curves = liquid lams??

    Cast perf + optically clear cast lam, applied dry.
  13. variable data

    Don't have much experience with it, but whenever I see it discussed the two names I always see pop up are XMPie and FusionPro. Another option I've heard mentioned pretty often would be the Data Merge feature in Adobe InDesign. edit: Also just remembered VersaWorks has a VDP function as well...
  14. Any training classes offered???

    A little over 2 years ago I was brought in to help manage our Kodak online storefront system, then a few months later they brought in a Roland VS-640 and a laminator and pretty much said "figure it out". Aaaaaaand here I am, still figuring it out, slowly but surely.
  15. How cold is it where you live?

    Cold enough that I could see my breath this morning... while standing in my kitchen making breakfast.
  16. Any computer gurus out there?

    I agree, get rid of Norton... but definitely replace it with something like Avast, or even Microsoft Security Essentials if they have that for XP. Unless a particular computer will never, ever be connected to the internet or have customer, employee, or owner supplied removable media inserted...
  17. Illustrator Actions For Finishing banners

    Tried this one yet?. Let me know if it works for you, I haven't actually used it, it just came up at the top of the google search i did for "illustrator banner grommet". There may be more in the list but I don't feel like digging.
  18. Why you should never second guess what you already know.................

    If it's 1/4 alcohol then that's 25% alcohol by volume which is 50 proof. Proof is just the % of alcohol by volume multiplied by 2. I'm always amazed by how many drunks don't know that (not directed at you, just saying). But anyway, in regards to the topic at hand, I'm guessing that's isopropyl...
  19. Any computer gurus out there?

    Glad you made out OK, and thanks for posting the solution when you got it figured out, I'm usually pretty good with this stuff and this one had me stumped. One more trick to add to the bag.

    I'm good Sarah, how are you? I'm in NJ, right over the bridge from Philadelphia.
