One desktop or a bunch of them? A small image or the whole desktop? A catalyzed screen ink will adhere and hold up fairly well if your doing something like a one or two color image on formica. If your doing a multicolor image and using most of the desktop, a digital print with a 5mil lexan...

Your guess is correct. You need white backing up the lettering and the logo what little I can make out. Would be a piece of cake with a Gerber Edge print. You might try cutting the lettering and logo image in white vinyl and applying it to the back of your static print but your introducing...

Oracal 3164 comes it 30" but only 4mil. Advantage stocks it. I run a ton of decals on the gloss version. It's beefy enough not to need premasking.

I'm running MacImprint which hasn't been upgraded since 03. It runs on Illustrator 10 on an old G4 Mac but at least both it and my GsXplus are USB connected. It runs like a champ with nary a glitch. Just finished printing $1,200 worth of LexEdge on it. Other than maybe picking up a used Edge 2 I...

Are you talking about the plastic or just the tape? I bought a whole roll of teflon tape for about that much. 18 yards. It's 1/2" wide so I do have to split it first. CS Hyde co. is the lable on the bag.

No Asian Carp yet. Hoping they don't make it through the barriers in Chicago.

Poly bag signs aren't an option until your ordering 500 at a time at least. I print fold-over polycoat yardsigns, especially during election years and have looked into these on large orders over 1,000 pcs to resell and frankly, the what I could mark them up to compared to what they could...

Wow, what a gorgeous spot. . . and fish! Here were still walking on ice although with the spring runoff the steelhead will be coming up the rivers soon.

I trim the premask a bit longer than the graphic and fold it over the edge to hold it together. You just have to trim the edge off to release it when applying. Than, the graphic is rolled with the premask on the outside of the roll. I had a 5' roll of cut vinyl on the shelf about a year. It was...

Have HER save it as a high resolution jpeg or tiff and see what happens.

You have all of your design apps already, why add Corel to the mix? What you need is a rip. There is Caldera which runs on the Mac platform. I'm running in on a mini right now and sharing my main workstation screen. You can also get Parallels and run windows on your Mac which I did before...

Gees, I'm working strictly in Illustrator using MacImprint to drive my Edge. I cannot offer anything concerning Omega. One of the other guys will have to jump in there.

I print many feet of lexedge. Generally, three colors and a double background overprint of Flood Coat White and than Light Grey for maximum opacity. Most of this is a continuing repeat order but every time a new file comes through from my customer it take's allot of tweaking to get the print as...

Essentially, you have a "negative" of your file. I've had it happen to me once before and I'm trying to remember what I did to correct it. Another sign shop sent me three files to print and only one of them printed like this. Can you just open it in acrobat and re-save it as a new document?

Although I have Caldera also I run all of my decals through Cutting master too. It's simple and amazingly accurate. If I'm cutting on a color edge I just give it a 2pt stroke which is easilly trapped in the cut.

It this an Illustrator or Corel file or a Gerber file that you're attempting to cut from? Cutting Master is an Illustrator or Corel plug in, nothing else. If you're setting your registration marks in Illy and have a separate cut layer you should be good.

There is a market but not what it used to be as the UV flatbeds are taking it over. They're hard to compete with once you get over a one color job. I'm not sure on the "high speed" gas dryer either. If you are going to set up a screen line us UV curable inks and a UV reactor you will truly have...

You can actually melt vinyl in a laserjet printer. . . .tyvek also, don't ask me how I know that. . . .

Ditto on the pad print job but if you have to cut it. Gerber's 225 series with the plastic liner will will cut some pretty small stuff well. I'd start with a new blade too.

NazDar has a pretty good range of ADE, (air dry epoxy) inks but their Pantone Matching Guide book is labeled for "conventional" inks and many of the color numbers in the guide are not available in the ADE pallet. You should be able to come close to your customers colors but tell them outright...
