  1. What does your shop smell like?

    Cat shit, smoke, bong water, and stale beer. Hasn't affected business one bit. Nobody that's ever come by has left without placing an order. 80% return to place another.
  2. Color Matching

    You're talking about color management. The device you need is a spectrophotometer. You'll need a colorimeter to measure the monitors. Then you need software to create profiles and somebody who knows how to put all that into play. It's not as complicated as it sounds, but can be a little pricey...
  3. Can you do mugs with a print/cut machine?

    I've stuck regular printed vinyl decals on a coffee mug around the shop (eco-sol inks) and it's been through the dishwasher plenty of times and it still looks like new. The best mugs I've ever seen or bought have been screen printed. Every mug I've ever had that was done with dye sub has...
  4. Blowup 2 vs Genuine Fractals

    I use both and many times there's little to no difference between them and photoshop's quality when blowing images up. Photoshop has come a long way with their native tools.
  5. I saw this van in the drive-thru yesterday.

    All he had was $20 when he walked in so I told him I'd give him the $20 "special".
  6. Having trouble with two types of shops "competing for work."

    My father is forever trying to squeeze two dimes out of a nickle. Nobody tell him about this or he'll figure he'll be able to trade the two dimes he gets back for four quarters down the road. Then I'll never hear the end of how he squeezed four quarters out of a single nickle.
  7. Diagonal Banding in VJ1614

    Is that with the intelligent interweaving on?
  8. I think I just screwed the pooch. What would you do?

    Consider it an investment in substrate you can use on other jobs and do this guy's job right. If you're so tight on margin that you're losing all your profit on 2 - 4 x 10 sheets you have more important problems to address. Like finding some customers that will make you some money. You're not...
  9. Using a full cartidge of washing liquid every 2-3 weeks on the Mimaki JV33-160? HELP!

    There must be some kind of leak in the line or somebody has cranked up the wash cycles. I've never checked the frequency of my wash cycles since it was installed, but only because it's never been an issue and I just replaced my first cleaning cart in over 2 years of use. If you're not doing 6...
  10. screw up factor

    I'm probably about 3-5%. Including redos for media issues like bugs or seams or the piece of dust or hair. The vast majority of those were done while the customer was watching. If they watch it goes down to about 50/50.
  11. Wet installing poly backed cling vinyl

    I've never seen this stuff before an install job arrived at my door today. Looks like cut cling vinyl on a poly backing and it's spec'd as wet install only. Anybody worked with this stuff before? Does the backing remove pretty easy once it's been wet down? Just looking for some tips to make the...

  16. Gran Turismo?

    GT is the one thing I miss about the playstation. I went X-box for the online gaming portion. What's the online play like with the PS3 these days? Let's just say that my x-box experience has been very similar to my windows experience.

  19. Wholesale Imprinted USB Memory Stick Supplier

    Does anybody know of a good source to get some imprinted USB memory sticks from? Preferably the kind that swivel to protect the USB connection and don't have a loose cap.
  20. vector colors change importing from flexi to photoshop- why?

    You want to ensure your color settings are the same between PS and flexi. I'm not sure what flexi offers in that department, but your RGB and CMYK working profiles should be the same and you should always ensure the "include input profile" box is checked when saving files so the software isn't...
