  2. Let him name the cost or not?

  4. Bubbles in Lettering

    Sorry but ... 8' to 12' feet away?? That's not acceptable arround here. A customer will not complain over a "spec" of dust. But a sticker looking like it has an anti-slip texture caused by allot of dust will get complained .. And rightly so. Stickers will not hide auto body deffects but that...

  6. need help removing this background so it can be printed

    Saving as an .eps file?? That's crazy. Save it as a .jpg ... Import it into Flexi. Create a path following the edges then take your vector shape (that is supposed to be overtop the .jpg), then mask it. Or get Photoshop and do it with just a few clicks. This is pretty simple to do.
  7. Anyone using 440 cc Inks in their Roland?

    This just hapened a week ago. I still have the carts that i pulled out. I was going to put them back in once these new ones are empty. I never check my remaining ink levels since i don't print when i am not in the shop and once i put in new carts i order more so i always have a full set on hand.
  8. Anyone using 440 cc Inks in their Roland?

    Are you sure your printer told you to change the cartridge and not just shake them? I sometimes get messages to "shake" certain cartridges. Pull 'em out, shake then re-insert. I screwed up one time ... Didn't read well and thought i had to replace two cartridges. Took them out and felt...
  9. New Computers! Anyone have any preferred vendors?

    I prefer to build my own. I buy parts from Tiger Direct and New Egg. If that's not an option for you then i would say that Signburst has enjoyed some really good feedback on his machines (he is a member here). Give him a try. I built a pc for my new printer last year for about 1500.00$ in...

  12. Large Opportunity - 4 Color Street Signs - Warranty Required

    I remember those specs !!! Got the same idiotic specifications from a quote request by my city a few years ago. They wanted me to screen print CMYK 3M inks for one freeking sign! I just laughed and sent them my quote but using digitally printed vinyl. Never got the job and never saw the sign...
  13. CMYK to LAB

    Honest questions: Why do you work in a LAB colorspace ... Why not RGB ... What is the difference you see? I find it easy to work between illustrator and photoshop in Adobe RGB. Especially with pictures.
  14. Exactly what's the machine doing? HP 26500 type machine....

    It's HP's internal programming to suck out your ink and use up your heads so you can buy more more more!!! Lol ... Just kidding ... I couldn't resist :bushmill:

  16. Totally Free Trailer Template Anyone?

    I don't think Fred has a problem with a member sharing his own creation. It's the sharing of copyrighted material that is obviously frowned upon. Nice trailer :thumb:
  17. laser Engraver questions...

    About two years ago, i was getting more and more requests for small engraved signs. I used to sub it out but as i got more into it, smaller jobs were turning into a pain for my supplyer so i had to buy one. I knew nothing about them and it just happened i had a Gravograph sales rep coming in...
