  1. Watch HOUSE last night?

    online vid? use tubeplus(dot)me specifically: tubeplus(dot)me/player/1975593/House_M.D./season_8/episode_21/Holding_On as long as you're good at closing pop-ups on the front end of loading the video, you can stream anything a couple hours after airing. pirated, of course, but who likes ads...
  2. Help needed on vinyl printing

    ok, so scenario is that you're supposed to get 50 ipad skins made for an event, and you're first thought was to P.O. a $10k+ printer? how about just request a budget to try this link.
  3. Edge to Edge Printing/Full Wrap Noob!

    pfft. i can print edge2edge. I just "lie" to my printer and make it believe its printing a 54" image on a 63" sheet... when I'm really just printing on a 54" sheet, with strips of tape placed on my printer to "lie" to the media sensor. but I don't, usually. as I enjoy having a material...
  4. AI creating contour cut

    great design, but that white outline kills it for me. no, you cannot print from AI. most, if not all, wide format printers/cutters require rip management software to operate. I am unfamiliar with versacam/works but creating a cut path is easy: in my rip software, i'm able to designate a...
  5. where to get these signs made

    looks like routed/possibly miter/beveled panels (HDU, plastic, MDF), mounted to post, painted white, with an inset panel with paint/graphics applied on the top. +1 to ease of production, especially with higher quantities (than 1) involved.
  6. MacBook

    +1 Pro line. comes standard with better graphics specs than the baseline model and, with illustrator/photoshop, you'll need all you can get! (especially if you want it to feel fast, by comparison to your desktop design station, for a good long time)
  7. .pub to .pdf?

    its not even my client, its a salesman of mine that just can't say no sometimes... ugh. being the "miracle-worker" really sucks sometimes. Especially when everyone needs a "quick favor" when I'm busier than I've ever been, over the past 4 months.
  8. .pub to .pdf?

    tried the free online converters and still winding up with just extracted images/logos that I already have! client did some "layout work" and sent me a .pub file, which is created by Windows Microsoft Publisher... yuck. anyone with windows + microsoft publisher willing to save a file to .pdf...
  9. Arlon 6000XRP vs 3m 180c

    just about to order a sample roll myself. love the price difference tho'. on the edge of an announced markup on all 3M products, its nice to find a cast wrap material at 80% the cost. gonna wrap our shop truck and a sales vehicle with it, and see how it survives this summer/winter before fully...
  10. Logo recreation

    Colorado Kerning! pretty good tho', font is close enough that you can't even tell the difference.... but the letter spacing jumps-out at me.
  11. Greek letters

    alpha beta gamma delta epsilon zeta eta theta iota kappa lambda mu nu xi omnicron pi... dang, i used to know then all... try searching "Ancient Greek" font. or, more specifically, Galatia SIL
  12. First "real" wrap

    love the color-shift! nice n' bright!
  13. 48' Trailer

    ogod yes. top>town always. plus there's that nice square (top) line staring you in the face when you're setting your hinge.
  14. Mimaki JV3-160

    it may as well be a storage locker with some fancy piles of garbage bags and a milkcrate of comics sitting just barely in view :) i'll bid $250, and most likely be my max. Picked-up, personally. By the time I move it, bring it back, and diagnose.... my cost will have tripled without even a...
  15. JV3 160 color washed out

    my money is on ink dropout. your test pattern printing 100%? your ink cartridges full? (or at least >1 on your levels. heck, forget what it registers... just pull the cart out, and turn it over. if a noticeable amount of ink stirs from one end of the bag to the other, then you're >1) post...
  16. Frosted Vinyl Please Help!

    3M/Gerber frosted crystal, not dusted crystal.
  17. Wanted: Old print head for Mimaki JV3 (DX4)

    worst-case, you can buy a manifold to replace it for <$30
  18. Price of DX4 heads in Canada/US

    close to $1000, after taxes, here in the states.
  19. How have you "rigged" it?

    that's the next-step :) couldn't be much different, just need to squeeze a bigger bottle!
  20. Rust on Coroplast

    i'd imagine almost any cleaner would do the trick on coroplast. +1 to CLR, but I've removed almost anything conceivable from coro using RapidRemover/GooGone/citrus alternatives.
