  1. valujet 48" or 64" need opinions

    48" is a weird size. And don't forget even with our 54", the usable print area is about 51.5". With a 48" what do you get? 45"? I'd go for the larger printer. But a Roland instead of the Mutoh...lol
  2. Just a small vent

    Just curious, Trakers, which software is it?
  3. Just a small vent

    Multiple work stations require multiple licensed copies of the software. Gerber Omega charged us $4100 for the master license and then we paid an addtional $2700 for a second station. We're running a third station at the customer counter on Demo Mode. (perfectly legal) So...all of us are...
  4. Black printing question?

    Not aware of any place within the RIP program itself (others may enlighten me) but when assigning fill colors, I just go 25,25,0,100 for a deep black. Going 100,100,100,100. would also work I suppose but why waste the extra ink. Also, that's a lot of ink going down. Might affect drying times.
  5. omega font help

    Island, the font converter in Omega is TTF to Omega, but won't go the other way.
  6. Help!!! Font Id

    Maybe Bookman family for the arched text?
  7. Help!!! Font Id

    Fritz Quadrata for the Comets. I'll think of the other one in a moment.
  8. converting to vector in Omega 1.56

    When you say "grainy" do you mean that the vectored lines have too many points? If that is so, I believe there is a "thin" option under Tools/Thin/then there's a dialog box that allows for settings. I believe 1.56 has that. We run 2.1, but that's what I remember. I'd fool around with that for...
  9. New Merchant Member!

    Hello Matt, It was you that tried to help me some weeks ago. We were interested in printing our film positives on clear acetate with our solvent printer. We just never could get them "dense" enough for the exposure unit. I apologize for not getting back a second time, to you.
  10. Camaro Font...

    Yeah, pretty much tell him that the font is not available, it's proprietary. Sell him on something similar.

  12. VP-540V EcoSolvent Printer/Cutter

    The deal sounds good to me. (we have the SP-540V and love it) But don't expect that the rolls of material being included will be full width or full lenght. They're not. They're about 24" wide and maybe 10 yards in length. Not a deal breaker, by any means. Just don't put a lot of stock in that...

    Welcome to this board/forum site. It's useful, you'll find.
  14. Masshole says hello!

    Ken, only a year? Is that statistical, or from your experience? We've only been printing 18 months so we can't know about sign life from personal experience yet. But I've sort of been saying the laminate adds 2-3 years. Not so?
  15. Masshole says hello!

    Welcome from the Pacific Northwest. Yeah, plain flannel shirts and double bit axes! At least that's what some people conjure up when they thing of our area. Seriously, though, you need a laminator. Don't get a heated one. Just the cold variety. It's great. It makes the print so much thicker...
  16. Hi All. Newbie

    Greetings from the great Pacific Northwest! As far as the GX goes, if that's a cutter only, you may not need PhotoShop quite yet. As you probably know, that's a raster based program suitable for print projects. Great to have you aboard. Lots of good stuff here.
  17. PhotoShop experts...help please.

    That doesn't seem to work, even though I did load 'em. When you want to "fill" and object with a .bmp, how do you go about doing that?
  18. PhotoShop experts...help please.

    Purchased Fantastic Fills, which is a library of .bmp textures. Tried for an hour last nite to figure out how to add them to my texture folder as a preset in PhotoShop 7.0. The default textures seem to all have .pat extension on them and these of course are .bmp. What am I doing wrong? Any...
  19. Grommet machines

    Chris is correct. Ours is a Hiker brand. They are about 200 bucks. All of them will punch the grommet thru and fold it over in one step.
