  2. 2 tatt or not 2 tatt??

    I know. Get a pi55ing Calvin. One of my mate's brothers has a tattoo gun - next time you're down this way I'll see if he's free. He's a hell of an electrician I hear.
  3. yet another scammer

    They can't organise shipping cos they're on a boat or whatever, so if you can forward the shipping cost direct to their agent they'll reimburse you when they pay for the job... or not.
  4. Negative Comments, What to do?

    Yes, this. Honestly if you are a signmaker and use poor spelling/grammar and asking for comments then you are asking for it.
  5. Color Matching

    This is why you should invest in the ability to profile your own media for the printers in your shop. Once you have your media profiled you simply Open > Preflight > Print. Time and media saved = priceless.
  6. Just bought a Designjet 5500UV 60"

    What everybody already said. I still have two of these printers but am using our Soljets more for work we used to do on the HPs. Ink and media is expensive, especially adhesive vinyls and banner film. Having said that, just know what the stuff costs and set your pricing accordingly...

    Keep your stash dry and get comfy till it blows over Dave.
  8. HP Designjet 3500CP, a list of questions......

    I started off in digital print with a 3000CP, same as yours but without the internal RIP. The main errors with these printers are to do with the print heads. They are meant to be replaced with each ink cart, so that tells you how long they are expected to last. So you will need to buy a set of...
  9. Old Paint in Hosp..

    Get out of that hospital Joe, you can catch something nasty in those places.
  10. Have to move the shop :-(

    If your network is functioning properly now there's no reason why that will change if all you're doing is unplugging then re connecting everything. Re moving the printer the others are correct. Lock the head with the blue brace then plug it in as soon as you can after you arrive.
  11. C'mon you love it - gradient banding!

    Yup. Try it with a 4 colour grey and see the difference. Of course you will then find out how accurate your profile is.
  12. C'mon you love it - gradient banding!

    Is the grey printing with 4 colours or is it just using black? If it's black only you will have banding.
  13. 1200 dpi vs 1200 x 600 dpi

    I have two HP5500s and the only difference between 1200x600 and 600 is the higher res takes twice as long to print.

  15. recommendation needed for new laptop

    I use laptops at home, and sometimes do graphics manipulation on them. I had a Dell and had nothing but problems with it - the battery and charging system was rubbish. Now I use an i5 Asus with 4g ram which is more than adequate and was fairly priced. It's so good I got another one for my...
  16. Questions about HP Design Jet 2500CP Printer

    I started up digital printing with a 3000CP. While they were a leap forward in their day in some ways, they had a couple of flaws. Mainly the heads need to refill by stopping the print and going over to the carts, leaving a nasty dry line across your job. The pigment inks were pretty...

    My ex lasted about 2 hours before bursting into tears, calling me names and storming out. So if your wife's a princess, def not! I'm happy for my present wife to work part time doing her own thing.
