  2. Ink tank empty??? Roland xc-540

    Was the tab out? Sometimes they don't pop out and suck air because the machine thinks there is ink. Sucks..
  3. changing colors in CS4???

    The fastest way is add layer properties, gradient overlay with a color to transparent fill. Set to luminosity more then likely but that style may vary. Otherwise mask the image on a blank layer and brush in the part you want grey. Adjust style as needed.
  4. Ink tank empty??? Roland xc-540

    The Xc shows empty when the cartriges still have some ink to prevent air from entering the lines. If your head test print is missing sections then you just need ink plain and simple. On the back of the cartridge there is a tab that pops out when empty. If you are SURE there is ink you check to...

    Sometimes simplicity pays. Jill is already steps ahead from the original. Nice work Jill. Brainstorm: graphics garage- I think garage sale - garage outline - logo shaped like a roofline - "great deals" - homely colors, welcoming - hmm..
  6. It's a matte world, but there are options

    I figured I'd post this as a lot of people are going for that matte look. I've found with a little playing around there are some options to the degree of matte. I bet your supplier never told you this! Option one, matte: if you plan on doing a matte vehicle wrap you need to order matte wrap...

  9. Apply Reflective over this??..Suggestions

    I recently played with oracals new reflective line. You can crease it, lift it, heat it and it won't leave any marks like older reflective vinyls. Easier to dry install ( which is reccomended by all manufacturers. )

    Don't go Mac! You'll have to go back. Software companies are moving towards 64bit based systems and running through video cards. We have already seen the 64bit PC's stomping macs with this new software. My opinion.. Go buy a 15k mac.. Ill build a faster PC for 1/2 the price and run circles...
