  1. color question

    Set bitmaps to 'Perceptual' and everything else to 'Spot'. Setting a rendering intent to 'Spot' removes, or at least minimizes, color correction for that component. Setting a rendering intent to, say, 'Relative Colormetric', pushes that component through the color correction engine in an...
  2. how do u add fonts to X3

    Font files have to be installed via... Start->Settings->Control Panel Fonts File->Install New Font... Select the font file in the displayed Add Fonts dialog and invoke 'OK'. The font will be installed in the appropriate windows directory and will be available to Corel as well most...
  3. Gradient banding

    No. Set the rendering intents to 'Spot Color' for gradients. If you use any other setting you can get some rather creative interpretations of white should your gradient pass through or even close to white. Use the Smooth Blends drop down on the printer setup's Color Management tab to select...
  4. Grommet machines

    There is no best, there is no worst, they're all pretty much the same. This will no doubt elicit howls of outrage from various grommet chauvinsits proclaiming that their Stimpson can kick your Fastsnap's ass. A #2 grommet is a #2 grommet and regardless of posturing, setting a grommet isn't...
  5. Scrim Banner orange peal

    The flat side. What you call 'orange peel' is just the texture of the fabric. You can print on both sides but the flat, coated, side works better.
  6. Xposition Alarm???? Graphtec

    That would be much like selling a BMW and buying a Yugo. One can only ponder that you feel this way perhaps because you're not as smart as your equipment. It's common to feel as you do when this is the case.
  7. Rip & Print

    Different printer/interface combinations have different accessory capabilities. Things like media size polling may or may not be supported. Moreover the Rip and Print van be very chameleon-like and change it's physical appearance depending on specific hardware and just who is supplying the...
  8. New Plotter Need help installing it into flexi

    The FC7000 wasn't supported until Flexi 7.6, that's why there's no driver. Just use the FC5000, if memory serves. If not that one then one of the others. Know that unless you upgrade to Flexi7.6V2 the media size polling won't work on roll media. It'll return the proper numbers divided by 10.
  9. New Graphtec is here! Setting blade is taxing me.

    If there was some adjustment needed for the blade offset, highly unlikely, all the corners would appear pretty much the same. Since only one corner is questionable, it's probably the start point and there's some over/under cutting happening. Some plotters have settings for over/under...
  10. Graphtec CE5000-60 from SignWarehouse, should I be scared?

    Yup, any size at all. The sensors, front and back, align with the left edge of the right, long, roller. This being the case you can load any size within the machine's limits. As far as loading here or there depending on whim, no. At least not the way I think you mean. I guess you could if you...
  11. Graphtec CE5000-60 from SignWarehouse, should I be scared?

    Not quite. At least on my machine the rightmost grit roller is sufficiently long so as to span the distance between at least two of the other smaller grit rollers. This allows you to load media of virtually any width within the range of the machine by properly positioning the pressure rollers...
  12. is the Mutoh falcon Outdoor jr not a good printer??

    Sounds like someone with something else to sell. The Jr. will print on any vinyl as any other eco-solvent printer. The limiting factors are its 36" width and four colors instead of six. The width can be a bit of a limitation, especially with ambitious wraps and large banners but in some...
  13. aligning registration marks

    How many marks are you using? For optimum accuracy, use 4 if you can with your particular setup. How large are the prints you're contour cutting? The smaller the area inside the registration marks the more accurate the cut. Vinyl running straight in your plotter most likely is not your...
  14. Contour cutting a large print.

    I don't know from maneuvering panels to accommodate contour cutting but I do know about clearances necessary to do the job. The only clearance you need to maintain is maybe 1"-2" between the pressure rollers and the outermost registration marks on the outside edges of the media. The thing...
  15. I Need Religious Vector...

    Because I can and it pleases me to do so.
  16. I Need Religious Vector...

    Have a go at rationalizing the hypocrisy inherent in the above... Be that as it may, just what are you seeking? An image of a Mexican bleeding jesus? A sketch of a California sports jesus? A rendering of the thighbone of some obscure saint? A Monty Pythonesque face that looks like it fell off...
  17. I Need Religious Vector...

    Tell them to pray to whatever gods they worship. A first rate god damn well ought to be able provide its own clip art.
  18. Fellers.Com any good?

    Fellers is the best place, far and away ahead of whomever is in second place, to order when you know exactly what you want. If you want technical advice on any of their products, call someone else. The Fellers employees are polite and helpful but, in general, are order takers and don't have a...
  19. Need font id

    Actually 'Staccato555' as opposed to 'Staccato222'. The latter being the same as the ever overused 'Mistral'. It's a hideous type face made even worse, if that's possible, in the all caps usage in your example. A sure sign that possession of a computer does not a typographer make.
  20. Cutter not making perfect circles

    A circle merely is a special case of an oval, the definition of an oval is x=r1*cos(a), y=r2*sin(a). If r1=r2 then it is a circle. The salient point here would seem to be that an object is rendered differently depending on its scale. According to the original poster an object that appears a...
