    If only they rented dvd's... I could do all my shopping in one convenient location.
  2. Throwing myself to the wolves

    I couldn't agree more. I guess I should have mentioned he's a motorcycle geek. Plus, it's what he asked for.
  3. so caled customer screwing me around

    Sh*T happens and we all make mistakes. I'm guessing he's got the money based on the fact that he's driving an Audi. Sounds to me like he just doesn't want to pay. Let us know what happens come Friday.
  4. Throwing myself to the wolves

    Ok, so I'm not a designer and I have never claimed to be, however once in a while someone asks me to do something for them. In this case, my friend asked for a simple logo design and he provided me with the basic idea. IE - tailpipe with flames. So, in trade for a few beers, I agreed to try...

  7. Profile for Canvas

    I've been using canvas from a few different companies and always try to get the proper profile for the material. I find that all the profiles for canvas look like crap. All the dark colors get lost and usually turn black. Bright colors are usually muted and the overall look is not very good...
  8. Banding only on left side of ProIII XC540

    Everything is aligned and clean and as it should be. I've only ever had one minor head strike with this printer and that was over 2 years ago. I generally get great print results on all kinds of media. I just finished printing a 25'x25' floor graphic (4 tiles)with a wood/burle tile pattern...
  9. Banding only on left side of ProIII XC540

    Oh, yeah, forgot to mention I did the whole maintenance thing too. Including the roller and encoder strip.
  10. wall vinyl with dry erase laminate

    schelack a whacka ding dong!!!! I work in the film industry so 99% of the stuff I work on was due yesterday. My position as Sign fabricator falls under the paint department so my direct boss is the "Head Paint Coordinator". He's been doing this a long time and knows his sh%t. He's also one of...
  11. Banding only on left side of ProIII XC540

    I recently noticed that I'm getting banding on the left (furthest from caping station) side of my printer and not the right side. I've tried several different medias and it seems pretty consistent. I've also used different profiles including the RIPC and the non-RIPC. The later has better...
  12. wall vinyl with dry erase laminate

    First off, always make sure the wall is properly prepped. If it's not, walk away from the job otherwise you're asking for trouble. Regular latex paint is fine as long as it's not a matt finish. Eggshell, semigloss, gloss work fine. Gloss being the prefered paint. Schlack is pretty good too...

  14. Anyone still using OCE Arizona's

    The Arizona is the reason I took a break from the biz. What a piece of S*$^!!! Absolutely the poorest design I have ever seen on any printer. Kept our service guy pretty busy though...
  15. Salary Range

    A good press operator is worth his weight in gold as far as I'm concerned. With 10+ years experience he's a bit of a dinosaur in the world of digital printing. That means he has lots of knowledge regarding software/hardware, materials, production, etc,etc,etc. I'm sure he can bring skills and...

  18. Need desperate help! PF correct on one side and not the other??

    Did you remember to clean the crap out of everything? Encoder strip, pinch rollers etc, etc, etc.... Are you using the vacuum? Maybe try a few different settings.
  19. Dealing with a client that doesn't pay. What to do???

    Well thanks for all the good advice. I'm happy to say that I finally won this battle. I took a drive down to her shop. The first thing I notice is she had someone else take my design and make her a sign for the sign face above the windows. Now I'm shaking cuz I'm so pissed. The next thing I...
