    I am not a corel user but I know if i can not open an eps in illustrator, I can place in a new layout without issues. This is what eps is designed for.
  2. Hello from LDI in Orlando Florida...

    Welcome from Orlando as well!
  3. Need Some Urgent Hiring Advice

    Its now $20 to post an add in Orlando.
  4. Adobe CC not CS

    Here is an interesting side note. A coworker of mine has 2 teenagers (14 and 16) who are now required to use Gimp for all school projects. No Photoshop allowed. I wonder how this will affect Adobe in about 6-8 years?
  5. Adobe CC not CS

    I wonder how this will affect print for pay. We all complain that we have to deal with Word, PowerPoint and Publisher. What will happen when there are no customers with outdated versions of the Adobe products because they do not run on Windows 9 or OS XI? I know I should not be, but I am...
  6. what do you think of this??

    I read the article about the 3D printed gun earlier. It is interesting that you lumped subscription based cloud software into the same post as a 3D printed weapon. If we move forward to commercial 3D printing, how long will it before the software becomes cloud based? There will come a time when...

    Edit - Duplicate post.
  8. Any mid range die cutting machine?

    I aggree. Sub it out. Especially if you are looking at 1 design that you will cut multiple times. After the dies are made, die cutting is really cheap. Hang on to the dies and send them back with the next job.
  9. Print guy needs best way to make good RGB black and black tints

    I recommend that our clients design in RGB but I would never in a million years ask the client to convert to RGB. First of all, you will not gain anything converting. You will probably not be able to tell the difference between a native CMYK file and a RGB file converted from CMYK if printed on...
  10. vinyl master software

    I bought the entry level version for vinyl cutting only. I have been using illustrator for over 20 years so I was not really interested in any of the layout or drawing tools in SignLab or Flexi. I looked at some Illustrator plugins but decided to go for SignLab based mainly on the features in...
  11. Jeti 1224 Ink consumption question

    Does the Gandi have any options for calculating ink usage? If not, did you spring for the feature in Onyx? What is your average ink cost per square foot? I am currently running a job that uses the most ink I have ever seen on my flatbed and it is around 2.4 g per square foot. Thats $.36 per sqft...
  12. If I have one more customer that uses the word "pop"...

    I used to deal with a print buyer whom after 8 years of working together never picked up any of the industry jargon I threw back at him. It was usually food photography and he would ask for me to make shrimp look more cooked or make some fried food crispier. I would counter with thoughts about...
  13. Duraflex??

    Kodak Duraflex and Fuji Fuji Flex both polyester based photo papers with a high gloss finish. Most people want them either for the high gloss or the polyester paper base which is both opaque and tear resistant. You can duplicate both properties if wanted with a durasol or similar 5 mil gloss...
  14. Contact Management

    Our sales team has switched to Sugar CRM from ACT. I do not use it so I can not really endorse it. All I can say is that they never really used ACT over Outlook but seem to be using Sugar.
  15. Basic color question - RGB & CMYK assets in same files

    Have you tried turning on the rgb input profiles and leaving the cmyk input profiles off?
  16. Printing white on black foamcore

    We gave up on this. I hit a piece of black gator with over $10 of white ink and the board still looked like thin newsprint. I use white/black/black ultraboard or just apply adhesive vinyl and print or vise versa.
  17. Can anyone please tell me how to get this effect? please

    High Pass combined with Threshold will give you the traced look. The rest is just layering.
  18. S30670 surecolor

    We have purchased one for use in our Miami location but I still do not have an ETA on its arrival.
  19. Bonding Copper Sheet to PVC Backer?

    I used GBC Arctic mount to apply 220 sheets of .032 aluminum to 10mm black PVC. It worked quite well. Expect to be shocked when handling the material. If by chance you intend to print on this with a flatbed printer, HAVE AN OPERATOR KEEP A HAND ON THE MATERIAL AT ALL TIMES. The motion of the...
  20. what really is the difference between 3m680 and 3m5100 reflective?

    One of my contacts at Grimco said the vinyl is actually the same but the adhesives differ. I was told the only other difference was that the 5100 is not intended for printing so they do not take the same precautions in manufacturing as they do with the 680. I can not confirm or deny this. I am...
