  1. Need Help RIP Queue Deleting after Restarting Computer

    If I had to guess, the RIP is storing files on the design computer's "Hot Folder".
  2. vinyl shutter paint question

    You can paint vinyl shutters with latex paint, but for the paint to have good adhesion requires a primer. Even without a primer the paint will still dry. You could also use Krylon Fusion (without a primer) but you'd go broke buying it, and spraying outdoors with even the slightest breeze is a...
  3. Paint mask on drywall

    You want to remove paint mask as soon as you can but not if the paint is runny. Even if it's just tacky you can ruin the job with paint sticking to the mask. The problem with paint getting under the mask is because of an uneven surface and the mask not adhering correctly. Nothing you can really...
  4. who obtains century 21 logos ?

    That's the old logo. The website it's on is branded with the new logo. To the OP, your client, the Century 21 agent/broker, needs to get the new logo files for you. It's all very early in the rollout, and they aren't really doing a very good job with it. We're in the middle of doing a Century...

    No paint should take a month to dry. What in the world did they sell him?
  7. Suggestions Your Opinion - HP Latex 115 Print & Cut vs Separates

    Here is HP's web page about the 155 print/cut solution: HP Latex 115 Print and Cut Solution | HP® Official Site You can tell, just by looking at the pictures that it consists of two machines, a printer and a cutter. The cutter is specified as the "HP Latex 54 Basic Cutter". That cutter may well...
  8. Vinyl not sticking to weather strip

    I agree. If it's rubber just consider that a void.
  9. Copyright a template ?

    There is a lot of work that goes into making good decal templates, since you are making a flat (2D) shape to make a flat graphic that will have to be formed to a 3D surface on the bike. The template is copyrighted. You cannot buy (license) it from the vendor and then sell templates to others...
  10. Vinyl not sticking to weather strip

    When you say "weatherstrip" do you mean the aluminum doorframe? There's no reason why the vinyl shouldn't stick to that; we never have problems with adhesion on that. Did you cut the vinyl at the edge of the aluminum frame or stretch it down to the white aluminum panel? If you didn't cut it...
  11. Graphtec CE8600-160 Won't Track Straight To Save Its Life

    On a Graphtec you shouldn't be having it pull material off the roll while it cuts. That will cause mistracking. There's a prefeed function which you use to unroll the necessary amount of material and also check that you loaded the material straight.
  12. Question Flex Face

    The shipping cost is part of the cost of the sign. You should be doubling the shipping cost and adding it to the price of your job to the customer. Likewise, you should be at minimum doubling what the printer is charging for the flex face, possibly more. Just because you aren't putting in the...

  14. Fonts for this seal?

    Also, rather than using an outline of 1957 to cookie cutter the background, you should just use a rectangle to cut the radial lines off straight. That's how the original was done, and it will read better.
  15. Fonts for this seal?

    Just wondering. They probably don't even realize that in Latin "exto" is not a word. Salus populi suprema lex esto is the state motto of Missouri. It's a quote from Cicero's De Legibus meaning "The welfare (or safety) of the people shall be the supreme law."
  16. Fonts for this seal?

    Are you allowed to correct the Latin misspelling? Also, this looks like a vectorized scan from a business card...so the corners of the letters should be sharp, not rounded.
  17. Clients are idiots

    I'll just throw this out there. It may just be that the customer has been around for a while and knows that if the sign is done with photos and full color and the logo has 4CP artwork in it, every piece of marketing material, every piece of equipment or uniform or menus or menu boards has to be...

  19. Need Help Can Window Perf used for for a windshield banner?

    All perf has a lower tack adhesive than regular vinyl, no matter the brand. That, combined with its thickness, conspire to make it unsuitable for putting on the windshield. Not only will wind peel it off, the wipers will too. If you have to put something printed on the top of a windshield, use...
