  1. Need Help I'm not understanding this......................................... ??

    Sorry, thought I answered that. The CMYK scale/mode shows up. When I click on the pictures it shows a question mark, but the CMYK mode is still there.
  2. Need Help I'm not understanding this......................................... ??

    The parts I re-did were CMYK..... and my scale shows 100% black and nothing else. The RIP is Wasatch. Don't get me wrong, it ends up being black in the final print, but I did not want to use the other colors for a reason, but they still were used. I was trying to eliminate all colors when...
  3. Some people don't need a plotter: Paper Engineer

    That is insane.
  4. Black printing blue-ish

    Another happy ending.
  5. Understanding Pizza

    You gotta start going where I go. It's a square pizza, packed in a square box and the slices are square, too. Buncha old Italian ladies have been making it this way for over a hundred years at this Italian club.
  6. Can Printed Vinyl go “bad” after X time (weeks/months)

    Actually, I have vinyl much older than 10 years and it still works fine. I have lotsa SparCal...... anyone here remember that one ?? That was the greatest vinyl ever. Don't know what happened to them.
  7. Can Printed Vinyl go “bad” after X time (weeks/months)

    I think many here are looking for excuses of their own makimg. There isn't really anything in such minute detail that can go wrong. We make decals for many of the police municipalities in our area and they have them on the shelf for 2 or 3 years and they go down just fine. We have 1,000's of...
  8. Lobby directory signs

    According to where this will be located, consider vandalism or just plan negligence. That would be a lotta shards to deal with if someone fell into it.
  9. Question Will this work?

    Sounds like a neat feature if it does work.
  10. Need Help I'm not understanding this......................................... ??

    I imagine it's changing in the RIP, cause when I open it again in illy, it still shows all black. When it prints, it's coming out in all the colors. However, I don't see much magenta showing up, but that might be going down last.and I just can't see it.
  11. Need Help I'm not understanding this......................................... ??

    .ai I don't remember this ever happening before, either.
  12. Need Help I'm not understanding this......................................... ??

    Underneath the grey boxes is more black copy.
  13. Need Help I'm not understanding this......................................... ??

    Hope I can explain this correctly. I received a file from a customer and I had to re-create it, as it was grainy already and I had to blow it up. There was one small picture file in it and when blown up, that looked fine, but all the copy had to be redone. Fine. Re-did all the type and set...
  14. Need Help Best substrate for near saltwater

    Stainless Steel would be your best option.
  15. Painting Alumalite

    I'd simply tell them, the material is unavailable at the moment and they can either wait for it to come in, pay a higher cost to ship it in from somewhere else or you have it painted. Give them a price breakdown of the various methods and let them decide.
  16. Painting Alumalite

    I know this doesn't help your predicament, but how did you get roped into making a 4x8 panel background..... metallic silver ?? As for all the other replies, I would venture to say 90% of the people on this forum do not have access to a spray booth, let alone in their own shop. I'll bet 1/2...

    Buy a great big dog and teach it to attack on command.
  18. Work burnout

    Not anymore. So, if you crank up the music and someone comes by, can't they hear that you are in there ?? Isn't that kinda rude...... not to answer a door ?? Cripes about a week ago, I was at the hospital with my wife for an emergency with her. About 1 or 2 in the afternoon (call...
  19. Discussion A vendor of mine just suggested I do something like this

    At the moment, we have one job which will use 14 sheets of material. According to when he decides can mean the difference of over $600 of MY cost. Another job is using around 30 sheets of material. I quoted them back in around the end of February. Now, in most cases, the cost only goes up a...
  20. How to make larger signs?

    You could just halve everything. I take it, you're gonna be printing this. Can you print 21' in one swipe ?? Many people just halve it like I said and run both halves at the same time, side by side and save a lotta money, time and effort. Also, ever try to put a 2'×21' panel onto a substrate ??
