Fellers sells it by the yard. You pay a premium but still orders of magnitude better than buying an entire roll of some obscure color.

In Production Manager a set up is inactive if the box next to it's name in the list of set ups there on the left is not checked. To activate a set up, just check the box next to its name.

There are no typefaces that can save these layouts. It is not often that one encounters typography this bad. Takes your breath away. If you need, or even think you need, a particular typeface then buy it. You will use it somewhere. Your collection of typefaces are a much a part of your tool...

The absolute best whiskey I've ever sampled is...ta da...moonshine. Unfortunately the quality control of the product is usually all over the map. Ranging from engine starter fluid and drain cleaner to the smoothest tastiest whiskey in the land. There used to be an excellent moonshine that...

Don't try to do positives on clear, it's doomed to failure. You can't lay down enough ink. Instead use vellum. Vellum prints functionally opaque and is, at the same time, functionally transparent to light at those frequencies needed to burn screens. That would seem to be because vellum is...

General liability that picks up the tab after the limits on any other pertinent liability policies are exceeded. We have a 2 million umbrella policy because it's substantially cheaper than jacking up the liability limits of our auto and homeowner's coverage to provide adequate coverage based on...

Interesting use of language. 'Dexter' the root of 'dexterity' means on the right. 'Sinister' means on the left.

This industry, if you can call it that, seems to be tracking the time line of the industrial revolution about 100 or so years later. Sort of... Before the industrial revolution: Hand crafted individual items: Prior to the industrial revolution most all goods were hand crafted and custom made...

Certainly. A pricing model must account for whatever supplies consumed but it should not be based on merely marking up those supplies. Rather it should merely amortize consumables on an overall average. A commodity is generally a fungible product. It doesn't matter who produces it, any...

Depends. A hundred or so yard signs are certainly a commodity. A hand crafted custom work just as certainly is not. I deal in the latter.

This paragraph seems to nicely sum up the signs as a commodity mindset. Perhaps if your business is mindlessly cranking out goods ala Oakley et. al. that might be appropriate. There is a place for that but there is another dimension to the business. I deal in handcrafted custom goods, not mass...

Turn it sideways. Now it's only 30" wide and 114" tall. Anyone should be able to deal with this.

To do a curve, tape a piece of paper, Tyvek house wrap is better, over the area. Then trace the outline of the object onto the paper with a Sharpie. Lay the tracing on a table. You have now flattened the curve into two-space. Set up the image, bending and distorting it as necessary, to fit...

When you send a job from the RIP and Print dialog to Production Manager always select 'Hold In List' from the menu on the first tab. Then send the job to production manager. Double click on the job in Production Manager and select "Hold" on the menu on the second tab. Now the job will...

The sturdiest, cheapest, and fastest table in my experience is to buy a 30-36x72-96, the bigger the better, particle top banquet table at Staples, Office Depot, etc. Put a piece of 3/4 MDO on the floor and place the banquet table upside down in the center of the MDO. Screw the banquet table...

Yes it can, but only in unidirectional mode. Not a big price to pay for those odd times you have to do a full 48" print. The 48" Value Jet can handle media up to 51+ inches wide. Doing a full bleed on a 48" banner only requires a 46.5"-47" wide print since the traditional finished size of a...

The thing about various finishes on liquid laminates, like Clearshield, it that they are rather chameleon like. They pretty much take on the gloss of whatever they're applied on. They tend, that's tend, to make the result conform to whatever their gloss level might be but if you put matte...

Maybe but it would be some sort of subjective moral responsibility and far beyond the capabilities of enforcement by plain vanilla citizens. If this is included all it will do is cloud the issue and make the whole thing more difficult. Leave it be and go for the throat.

Every time this situation comes around on the big forum wheel it's always entertaining to read the contributions of those who seem to be running on speculation. Been there, done that, and here's what you do. You file suit against the client in whatever passes for your local small claims court...

Another way is to lay some rectangles of white vinyl in the area where you know the registration marks are going to be. Let the marks print on the white vinyl. You need to be sufficiently familiar with your equipment to have a pretty good idea of just where the marks are going to be located...
