  1. Gerber Edge 1 - Jagged lines with vector data!!?

    This is a test file I tried. These were small decals using the Microgramma font. Unfortunately, the vertical strokes printed with varied widths because of the Edge resolution. Being screen printers,we've developed a few practices to minimize the "stair stepping" that the screen mesh effects on...
  2. Gerber Edge 1 - Jagged lines with vector data!!?

    The Edge is a 300 dpi printer,not an 1400 dpi inkjet. You will always get stepping on diagonals. It usually insignificant on the final product. The "dots" on process color printing essentially camouflage that effect.
  3. Encad/Kodak NovaJet 600e?

    Hey flori, I'm wondering, if you have an HP5500 why in the heck are you even considering the Novajet? Kinda like going from a Cadillac to a Nova isn't it?
  4. How to adjust pressure on FC5100-75?

    On the plotter hit the "conditions" button and than the up arrow.
  5. Laminator Questions

    I bought my laminator on ebay for $300. It is 52" and actually has a hand crank on it. It is so versatile that I don't thing I'd trade it for a 8K Seal. It's super easy to "center hinge" large graphics and makes little stuff a piece of cake too. I'd tell you the brand but I honestly think it...

    My wife backs up our whole Quickbooks database to a USB jumpdrive. Were a Mac shop and our PC accountant can even use it to update our account.
  7. upgrading hp 5000 to 5000ps?

    If you already have a 5000 you must have a RIP. What are you expecting to gain with the ps?
  8. Print and cut machine. which one?

    A solvent inkjet is wonderful for banners and large decals but for the smaller contour cut stuff you just can't beat an Edge. The variety of substrates that you can print on is almost unlimited. Chrome and Deluxe Gold, metallics, static, lexan and the list goes on. I personally have printed off...
  9. Looking for a 60 inch vinyl printer

    I'm a happy camper with my HP9000s .
  10. Banner Hemming

    Cody, A industrial "walking foot" machine. Banner vinyl doesn't slid under the foot well and will curl the banner as you sew. On a walking foot machine, both the foot and the bottom teeth move together. Do a search on ebay for industrial sewing machines to check them out.
  11. HP 8000sr Any comments

    Ditto on the 9000. Loving it. Only problem is the print quality is so good that I haven't used the "old" 5000 in a couple of months now.
  12. hello

    Welcome Fiona, A couple of years ago I was able to go on a fishing trip to Jaco. I was surprised seeing all of the digitally printed banners around town. Someone there had a nice solvent unit. I tried to find the shop but had no luck. Best of luck in you new venture.
  13. Illustrator line not cutting HELP

    Try to copy the cut line and paste it into a new document ahnd give it a try. If it works. Repaste it in the original. You might change the line from a stroke to a fill and run the merge filter on it and than switch it back and try to cut again. I've had this happen before but it's been many...
  14. First Question- Specific Static Cling Vinyl Needs

    It's pretty hard to go wrong with a used Edge 2. Your only issues may be the print resolution that your desiring. Print and cut is easy and accurate and you may find a whold line of products open up for you with an Edge. The huge variety of substrates makes the Edge a perfect printer for you to...
  15. Still having issues... need some help

    When I first got my 5100 I had the same problem and tried every adjustment that I could find to no avail. I had a 2100 since 89 so I was familiar with Graphtec's controls. Anyway, after going through the exact steps with my supplier and than again with tech support at Graphtec it was...
  16. Just starting out....help!

    Well Greg, I'll throw in my 2¢. There are not many RIPs for the Mac. Caldera is one. PhotoPrint is another. Do you have the Mac version? You might call Amiable and see what a cross platform trade is. I'm running Posterjet on my MacPro through Parallels until the Mac version is updated this fall...
  17. inserting clipart

    Fair enough, I get all kinds of ridicules combinations of file perversions from customers, including raster eps files. I kinda read over the clip art thing. Not being famailiar with LXI, might it actually rasterize a placed file automatically? If it's an eps file why can he just open it...
  18. inserting clipart

    Hey there shovel. EPS doesn't always mean it's a vector file. I can save a jpeg as an .ai file too but it's still a jpeg inside.
