Matt, How about MacImprint 3.0?:banghead:

We Edge print white and we've screen printed white. I'd guess it would be possible to spray it but I'd thing the spray paint would be a bit too hot on the solvents and really soften the static too much. The couple of times I've laminated to white vinyl haven't worked either as both substrates...

I'm just using the standard vinyl profile on my rip, (Poster Jet), and on my HP9000. Have had no color issues. Just keep the temps down to prevent head skids.

The HP 3100/3200, the Canon iPF8300 both have an extra matt black and are 12 color machines withe the red, green, blue and gray inks. I used to run an HP5000 also and getting a dead black on watercolor paper was impossible. These babies have a 20% larger color gamut than the cmyk units. The...

What software are you cutting with? I use Cutting Master directly out of Illustrator and it's so accurate it will literally split a 2pt printed stroke. I print thousands of small decals set up in sheets like you describe and can usually run 5 consecutive 32" sheets unattended. I have never had...

I think it was because you stuck the wrong side to the pvc. Print reverse image and stick the back side to your substrate.

I'm curious of how many of the "tried Mac" users were back in OS9 or early OS 10 days. I've always felt that windows was a lame copy of the Mac OS. There was a period in OS9 days that it might have surpassed it in performance but certainly not in security. I've been hanging around these...

I'm a screen printer and us 3.4mil sheetstock from General Formulations for my screen printed decals. I will second Matt's suggestion on the PromoPerm digital vinyl though. It's a 6mil fairly hard vinyl and has a wonderful finish. It's my favorite vinyl for display work. It's not glossy so that...

Your Epson is a very good aqueous ink printer. You cannot load any vinyl into it and expect the ink to work. You cannot put eco or solvent into it without major modification, if at all. There is probably coated vinyl that is available for this unit but would just be for temporary outdoor use...

It takes overnight for the doming to cure.

I have the same Canon iPF8300. I purchased it for fine art reproduction and indoor graphics. I have an HP9000s for all the outdoor stuff. Before the HP9000 I had an HP5000 with Pigmented inks. I could get a year or so outdoor with the 5000, double that with laminate. I'm not sure about the...

Are you lining the registration mark manually or letting the plotter do it with the ARM system? I can't speak for Onyx but using Cutting Master you manually move the knife to the area within the corner registration mark. You DO NOT hit origin or it will limit the area the knife will reach and it...

No one's mentioned the new Thunderbolt connection. http://www.crunchgear.com/2011/02/24/what-is-thunderbolt-and-will-it-change-your-life/ Apple is just about always ahead of the game in technological advances. They've missed the ball a couple times but usually it's the pc world playing catchup.

How about a progress report? Did you get things working?

185 is a pretty light red and there is no Arlon match. About the best you can do is Arlon's HP 220 Perfect Match Red is close to Pantone 186.

Check with your accountants about your receipt/deduction idea. From what I've understood, you have paid for the stock that you used, hence it is inventory already deducted from your gross income. No matter what other labor you invested in that job, you have already made the deduction. To deduct...

No, lf they're white static there's no need to. I'm assuming that they're solvent printed.

There should be application created preference files somewhere that you can trash and Illy will recreate fresh ones upon restart. I am a Mac guy and am totally clueless as to where they are kept on a windows machine so someone else will have to offer a hand there.

.....and your preferences.

I find my FC7000-100 amazingly accurate and it picks up the registration marks very well UNLESS, you vinyl is loaded with a skew or your outer pinch wheels are tool close to the registration marks. It's kind of archaic but when I load my stock I jam a thumbnail in each registration mark and...
