  1. Problems with Flexi 12 on a new computer (Design Editor is Zoomed In)

    In Windows 10 you right click the desktop, choose Display Settings. Then under Scale and Layout, make sure you have the screen resolution set at the correct resolution for your display (usually the highest available) and then under "Change the size of text, apps, and other items" choose 100%.
  2. What sign software does everyone use?

    I use Sign Wizard for cut vinyl signs and Corel Draw for printed signs. Sometimes I'll design cut vinyl in Corel too and export to Sign Wizard for cutting. I have Illustrator for dealing with files people send me that won't open in either of the other two, so I can re-save them as something that...

    Not high enough humidity
  4. #alwayshandpaint

    When I first started doing signs in 1993 we walldogged for a few years before my boss gave up on it. We did some painted pictorial billboards of horses for an equine supply company that I wish I had photos of now. A kids "tunnel town" arcade place still has a big pictorial we did on their...
  5. Need Help Vertical Banding on Canvas Prints - HP Latex L26500

    The print that shows a lightening after a few inches looks like ink starvation. And in general, it looks like not enough ink is getting on the media.
  6. Frosted glass look

    Oracal 8810 is a sparklier version than their etched glass look 8510. You cut it and weed it and apply it just like any other vinyl. We don't use it wet unless we're covering the whole window with a whole sheet. Wet application on glass just takes too long.
  7. Any ideas on a vinyl type for this?

    Just print on intermediate vinyl with regular permanent adhesive and laminate with a matte texture laminate like 5 mil General Formulations Concept 109. It will look like a subsurface printed polycarbonate sticker.
  8. Paint coming off of trailer - what to do?

    Typical box trailers aren't actually painted. They use prepainted aluminum sheets, just like what we buy for signs. And it doesn't matter what kind of vinyl you put on them, when they get old the paint will come off with Rapid Remover or pretty much anything you use.
  9. Profiles for Epson printers

    The Epson S series come with Onyx GamaPrint RIP. We went ahead and purchased Onyx's Production House to get more capabilities. There are plenty of profiles available at Onyx's website to download. And out of the box, they are all pretty good, in my experience. We actually use profiles across...
  10. Need Help Square sanserif

    Thought I had--I could see it. But I just deleted it and uploaded it again.
  11. Need Help Square sanserif

    Can anyone tell me what font this is? Sort of like Bank Gothic, but not. Sort of like Microgramma but not.
  12. Colors printing lighter than normal

    I'd check to see if the yellows are really the same in the files you sent to the RIP. Better test would be to print the TUF decal.
  13. Font help

    Where do people get such tiny pictures of what they want to duplicate?
  14. Font help pleez.

    The "old" is Alison. The G is a different font.

    1099 Rules for Business Owners in January 2018
  16. Free estimates...friend or foe?

    The way things go around here the last 8 or so years (though it's changed since Jan 2017), I'd have to figure the price of 6-8 quotes in every job. Seems like that's all we did was run around, driving 20, 30, 60 miles to do site surveys, then prepare quotes for jobs that we not only didn't get...
  17. Best Outdoor Vinyl

    We couldn't stop IJ35 from wanting to curl up at the edges so we switched to General Formulations IM3203X years ago and have had no trouble since. We laminate with Grimco's Briteline Shield UV. One thing that is important on full bleeds is to sand the edge of the aluminum, especially after cuts...
  18. PS (jpeg) white is printing off white

    I don't use Photoshop, but it'll be in your color handling options. It's applying a profile to your eps saving that is changing the colors.
  19. Question Do you use dedicated rip computer?

    I would say that RIP is pretty much all CPU. There isn't any display going on at all. Onyx recommends a multicore processor with 4GB RAM per core.
