  1. Illustrator CutContour creating a white outline on prints

    Looks like it changed colors on you. CutContour is a spot color and will never print. I do have a question though. Why the Illy to Fexi workflow? For simple stuff we build the file and use Flexi's contour function. Even things I've "built" in Illy I am more inclined to use Flexi for the...
  2. Roland RS-640

    When you observed the test print they may have used a custom profile. That being said, what material are you using? Also the heat at 45 is far too much. At that level you are killing dot gain. (the amount ink should spread before setting) This will definitely lead to grainy prints. We run...
  3. Paint Booth

    Safety wise you'll want to have escape doors. Preferably one on each of the long sides. Dove out one of them at my old job after the primer line broke.(attached to a 55 gallon drum) You have no idea the volume of paint that gets released. And the way it whips around is a whole other story...
  4. So, who knows anything about corona.................................. ??

    Didn't someone recently post regarding this? They switched to a different brand of coro and things are peachy now. Can't remember who it was though.
  5. Can you force VersaWorks to print white in Standard Quality instead of always High?

    I don't think there is a way around it. Pretty sure white ink needs the density. What you are asking the printer to do is keep the density of the white while laying down less ink. Not gonna happen. Other point is anything with white we sub out. Anything over three or four hundred gets subbed...
  6. New couple in the business from TX

    "No heat press "crap". Interesting. Pretty bold statement for knowing nothing about the industry. Maybe I'm doing something wrong since the last set of "heat press crap" shirts I finished sold for nearly $75 each. I find it amusing how folks that come here looking for knowledge forget to...
  7. Roland stand alone cutters, review?

    Maybe you need to replace the Cut Carriage cable. We just did one on our SP540V and it made a world of difference. Still chokes on the long runs because of VW idiotic bouncing from here to there. But at least I can run batches of decals now without it eating half of them. We did a run of over...
  8. New couple in the business from TX

    Unless you have a ready made market for cut vinyl you'd be better off getting a print/cut set-up. We had two choices seven years ago. Buy a printer or get run out of business by the people that had one. And if it is the stock car market know this. Even in the backwoods of WI you cannot find...
  9. Ugh....employee rant....

    No need to make a list since he is on probation. Bring the offending party into the office and say this job is not a good fit for you or the company. At my old job probationary employees were told just that. They got escorted to pick up their stuff and walked to the door. Done.
  10. Phototex

    Trying to laminate a textured product probably won't end well. The laminate will never get into the deepest areas. In a high abuse area I would cover with polycarb panels and call it a day.
  11. Bill Maher.....................

    I don't care for his disgusting/distrubing comments regarding people he doesn't care for. Then when someone calls him on one of his vile comments he hides behind: "It's just a comedy show". My position is: If you say it own it". I have zero tolerance for people that don't.
  12. Remotely running a print shop

    I like the web cam idea and limiting web access. Years back a local bar owner installed surveillance cameras in his bar. Profits shot up dramatically. Imagine that...
  13. Advice on new cut machine

    Summa. Our old D610 still knocks it out of the park. Load a 50 yard roll and go to dinner. No issues.
  14. Alignment, Measuring Information

    Dry fit and stand back. My technique is if it looks straight it is straight. Not much help but it's my system. Hard to find a vehicle with a straight line to use for a guide anyway.
  15. Sniper school shirt design

    I had one years ago that read: "Reach out and touch someone"
  16. New Member! Need Help!

    Got our third Arlon XRP6000 wrap kit from Feller's yesterday. Just sayin'...
  17. LED Light mod for CJV-30

    Looks nice and bright. I used a 5 meter LED rope light from Walmart on mine. Cost a whole 14 bucks. Could kick myself for not doing it sooner.
  18. Opinion of Sign permit and inspectors, whats the limits?

    The last permit I got was to put a small ACM panel on a doctors office. Simple enough, but here's the kicker. The permit issued for that 2' x 4' panel locks in any further signage to 8 square feet as long as the original panel exists. It's apparent their thinking is to get more money. Lets...
  19. Best setup for abstract art?

    OP is in a niche market. Best bet is to have the same file printed using different processes. (e.g. flatbed, sublimation etc...) Then pick what best suits his particular business model.
