  1. axyz vs. multicam

    It may be worth considering that Multicam is headquartered in Dallas Tx about 5 hours from you. AXYZ would be about 14 hours. This could come into play if you have to call for a tech.
  2. Multiple copies of a PDF on one page?

    There is also a nice little acrobat program called Quite Imposing that is perfect for this.
  3. Spectrophotometer and profile building

    That is good to know. It is so hard to find known issues with even outdated software. What is the source of this information? I was encountering issues like this with my Epson GS6000s when I was using ColorBurst Rip and ProfileMaker but there were also known issues with ColorBurst for the...
  4. Spectrophotometer and profile building

    The EyeOne is still the way to go. The new EyeOne 2 is even better. Its more accurate and gives you the option of of taking UV or unfiltered measurements. Spring for the IO table if you can. You will not regret it. As far as software goes, it depends on how you want to operate. If your rip has...
  5. Is a six-color printer required for good skintones?

    First of all, CMYK printers with lc and lm are not 6 color printers. From a color management standpoint, they are 4 color printers. The light colors should not add gamut. The light colors are there to reduce grain in the highlights. A 10% magenta will appear grainy with a full magenta but will...
  6. Any Caldera users?

    My opinion: Anything is an upgrade over Onyx.
  7. USB adapters

    I have my envision running with a Manhatten USB to serial adapter and a regular serial cable with a null modem adapter attached. I do not have an Edge but it probably needs a null modem cable as well? Are you running with the same cables as before?

  9. CS6 Trial...Brain f*a*r*t!

    Ever get this message? "Combination of artwork size and resolution exceeds the maximum that can be rasterized" Or this one? "The operation could not be completed because there is not enough ram" Since Illustrator is now 64 bit, it uses all 16gb installed in my computer and I never see these...
  10. Question about finishing BANNERS...

    Keep an eye on craigslist for used industrial sewing machines. Old does not matter since these things are built like tanks and often still have parts available. I have listed a few good brands below. Singer Juki Union Special Consew Other brands may also be worth looking at. Find a sewing...
  11. Square Footage: Loosey Goosey or On The Money?

    I am wondering how others handle square footage in their estimates. Do you round up to the nearest whole number, a set decimal place or neither? We round up to the nearest whole number.
  12. PDF in Photoshop changes Dimensions

    Changing the DPI will not reset the size. Once it is wrong it is wrong. When the dialogue opens, first change the resolution to something that does not hit the wall. Next, you change the drop down from the trim or bleed box to another setting then back again.
  13. google tour of Kennedy space center

    I have been living in Florida for 5 years now. I went for the first time just this year on a whim. I did not expect to be as amazed as I was. The Apollo rocket display is breath taking. they have the whole thing displayed overhead on its side. Its over 300 yards long, has over 1 million...
  14. PDF in Photoshop changes Dimensions

    Its the 32000 pixel limit in Photoshop. 106.6"x300 ppi comes out to 31980. If you drop your dpi to 283 it should come out fine. The limit has been there too long. It is still in photoshop CS6 even.. The good news is that there is no such limit on exports for illustrator cs6.
  15. PDF in Photoshop changes Dimensions

    What version of the creative suite are you running? What size is the Illustrator file an what size does it open to in Photoshop? At what resolution are you rasterizing your file? Is the PDF the right size in Acrobat?
  16. Vendor Sugestion Reflective Signs

    I have a client who needs 4218 18"x23" reflective parking signs on .040 aluminum or similar. They are 4/1 full color/beige with reflective text. Anyone have suggestions on a vendor that specializes in this type of signage?
  17. CNC Router Regrets?

    We bought a multicam 1000 with vision software and a tangential knife. Our thoughts were that the machine would be used exclusively for print and cut. I regret not getting the tool changer or the dual knife so I can cut and score for box making.
  18. Icut or similar

    Multivision is extremely accurate as long as you have the correct offset entered for the cutting tool. I add a bit of bleed to all my cut files so i can not say how accurate. I have cut some things without blleed and had no problems whatsoever. On the rare occasion without bleed where i had a...
  19. Icut or similar

    Multicam's Multivision camera works well. I use it with my Multicam 1000 and Enroute software. Its very accurate but cutting out of enroute is not quite as user friendly as ICut. The upside is that Enroute has many more features than simple 2D cutting than Icut.
  20. They make replica cars?

    Google the Mitsuoka Galue. It is basically a mustang with Bently body up front and a Cadillac body for the rear.
