  1. Alternative To Gemini?

    I started using Sign Reflections http://signreflections.com/ about 5 years ago for FCO letters and logos and have never looked back. They have been up to 1/2 the price of Gemini at times and their turnaround is far quicker. One thing that I appreciate is that they take great care to pack their...
  2. Suggestions for Temp / Short-Term Vinyl For HP360

    Timothy Mitchell at HP has endorsed the Arlon 510 as a great solution for Calendared vinyl through the 3 series Latex. I have had another vendor tell me that has shrinkage issues over time though. Have you experienced anything like this? I'd like to switch to it but hesitant. Thanks
  3. Looking for input on Gerber M3000 Turbo

    I worked at a place with a M3000, and I don't recall registration being an issue, but we didn't do much tight registration work. Are you concerned about it cutting the exact dimensions to fit in the door of the equipment, or the placement of the print on the polycarbonate. I would say that it...
  4. Question Mimaki jv33 nazdar inks anyone using them?

    I switched from OEM SS21 inks to the nazdar inks with no problem. Didn't need to flush at all, but I did switch the entire ink set at once and used the remaining SS21's on another 33 until I used up all of the OEM inks. $55/440 ml. I didn't see any difference in color at all and I've been...
  5. JV33 pausing during print

    I had this exact problem in the past, and it turned out to be a combination of a couple of things. The printer buffer is apparently not very big, and we had a long USB cable. Our RIP files were also very big and the printer would pause until it received enough data to continue. I tested it by...
  6. Suggestions printable frosted vinyl that we will see on both sides

    Try the General Formulations 790 AE. Light Frosted Air Egress.
  7. Major Issues with HP Latex 310

    You mentioned they replaced the ink delivery system... did they check the calibration on the pressure of the ink being delivered to the heads? Reason I ask is that with ink blowing out on the right side of the printer, it may be that there is a fault somewhere in that system that is adding too...
  8. Question Folder and File Saving Best Practices

    We have a file structure template that we keep on the desktop and we just drop it into the client master folder to create a new job. As shown in the screenshot. We organize by Client Name > Year > Project Name. Since we are in the exhibit business, we use the show name as the project name...
  9. Question Anyone using Athens Paper for Wide Format Media?

    Did you buy your HP from them as well?
  10. Question Anyone using Athens Paper for Wide Format Media?

    I've been approached by Athens Paper as a supplier but haven't heard much about them other than their VP of Wide Format was a rock star for me back in the day at Charrette/Pitman. Anyone have any experiences/opinions they'd like to share? Thanks in advance!
  11. Mutoh Valuejet 1608 HS

    We have one we are willing to sell. It currently needs a maintenance station and refurb to get to print again, but may be willing to sell it for a parts machine. PM me if you're interested
  12. Question What to do with a damaged ai file?

    See if there is a .tmp file that registers as a PDF file to the system. It will usually look like this "ACR11002477761344678358.tmp" and will be in the same folder as the file that you were working on, assuming you saved it before the crash. This has worked for me often, since the latest CC...
  13. Discussion Decision: CNC Router or small digital printer?

    I would discourage both as well... Especially if you are looking to sell. Especially if a prospective buyer isn't interested in taking the business in the direction (vision) that you have. And in my opinion, just having the equipment in house without enough business to justify the purchase...
  14. Printed Temporary Fencing?

    I used to have a customer at a previous company that we printed this for. Mainly athletic fields, tennis courts, etc. The crazy thing is that prior to us starting to print for their location in Atlanta and California, they had someone hand paint the designs. They would supply the rolls of...
  15. Need Help Wholesale Wide Format Vendor in NYC area (or Northeast)

    Looking for a wholesaler that can supply some flatbed printed foamcore boards, printed/laminated translucent vinyl and printed laminated calendared vinyl for a last minute exhibit we are doing in NYC next week. Need to have everything in hand in NYC by EOD Friday 6/9 for early AM install on...
  16. Hello from Atlanta

    Welcome fellow I-85 bridge collapse sufferer! LOL Good Luck to you.
  17. Rasterlink 6 Output Size Compensation

    What machine are you trying to adjust it on? The reason I ask is that on our old JF1631 flatbed, it did have a distance compensation. We would lose almost 1/2" over 10 feet in the feed direction and for print/route jobs it was killing us. We were using Rasterlink 3 IP and if I'm not mistaken...
  18. Need Help Gerber Edge Users In Atlanta- Need Some Labels Printed

    No Problem- client ended up cancelling order, but I'll definitely keep you in mind. Thank you!
  19. Hello From Ignition Nyc!

    Welcome from Atlanta! We're doing an exhibit in NYC in early Summer... may need a backup for graphics if they are damaged during the install... Are you able to accommodate rush orders like that? BTW- Impressive portfolio on your site! Nice work.
  20. Question Good Adwords Success

    We are a tradeshow, exhibit and display company with a national focus on clients. In 2015 we spun off our graphics department into its own division and marketed it locally to Atlanta to keep the graphics department busy during our slow times in the summer and winter to keep us busy. We went to...
