RIPing and printing a print/cut job with Flexi 8.6v2 to a Mutoh Valuejet 1204.. A 44" long print shows distortion at the tail end of the print. I've printed this thing this way and rotated it 180 degrees, re-RIPed, and the distortion is always at the end of the print. What are supposed to be...

Take it apart and see what the problem might be. 4 screws hold the end cap on and then you should be able to see what's going on. It's not a big deal, just fix it.

PDF's can have some nasty color shifts. Especially with greens. TIF's are generally overkill. A hell of a lot of space for a minuscule improvement over a JPG with 0 compression and smoothing. EPS if and only if a vector image is needed. In general, the best all around performance, assuming...

Rule of thumb: You want the printer resolution to be at least 4 times the image resolution. For example, printing at 720dpi you'd want to have an image at ~150ppi. The 4:1 ratio typically yields the optimum printer pixels per image pixel. Something on the order of x^16 where x is the number of...

Learn how to add your own registration marks and use the plotter's 'Auto Reg' feature. It's a process with a number of steps but once you figure it out you no longer are you dependent on the software doing the registration. You will seldom, if ever, end up with a print you have to discard...

It's not that hard. If it were, none of these people could do it.

If those are the biggest and baddest new features, keep it. If you people haven't added the ability to publish the X and Y distances between the registration marks you automatically add to print and cut jobs, you haven't done squat. You already know what they are, all you have to do is...

It looks like a grocery store window banner from toon-land.

Actually it was 1839 but it took until the early 1930's before anyone tried manufacturing the stuff. For 80 years it was merely an interesting chemistry experiment.

At the risk of dating myself, I used to see it live. Howdy Doody, Buffalo Bob, Chief Thunderthud, Princess Summerfallwinterspring, and Clarabelle the Clown. The clown was Bob Keeshan who later achieved some notoriety as Captain Kangaroo.

There was no plastic on the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria for much the same reason that there wasn't any on the Titanic. It didn't exist then.

Fluorescent colors are not printable with anything except fluorescent inks. These inks, and by extension, paints, are manufactured from particles that are ground to specific wave lengths. It would appear then that they are essentially monochromatic. That being the case it isn't possible to...

25 cent gas 20 cent cigarettes A good 5 cent cigar Nucoa margarine that came as a big white lump and you had to mix in the little capsule of coloring. The great white fathers at the FDA, forced by the dairy lobby, had decreed that margarine could not be yellow. Only butter could be...

Kid, your stuff is just as bad as the original poster's. The both of you together know less than nothing about layout and typography. Less than nothing because what you do think you know is horribly wrong.

When it's your turn to post you get to say whatever you want to say in whatever way you want to say it. When other get to post the get to say whatever they want to say in whatever way it might please them to do so. If this is the sort of thing that bothers you, you're going to spend a lot of...

What in hell are you people talking about? Corn hole, corn toss? Is this some sort of artifact for a diversion popular with the serving classes, or an accessory for harvesting the vegetables, or what?

You'll get about equal responses from the turn it off people as well at the let it stay on contingent. Here's a data point... For lo these many years, about 8 or so, I have turned off my ValueJet 1204 and its predecessor, a Mutoh Falcon outdoor when I'm not actually printing anything. During...

Whatever the secret might be, I'm sure it's much simpler when doing two halves rather than some other number of halves.

What she said, you need about 4" or so of trailer after the registration marks. Also when doing print and cut you usually specify 'Sheet' not 'Roll'.

You might or might not have some traction with the marriage thing but the court most likely doesn't give a rat's ass about your business problems. Whatever you do, don't tell them you think it's a waste of time, which it's not. Besides, there's a lot of miles between being summoned and...
