  1. 25500 and shrinkage!

    Ah, so there's two places to do it. Makes sense to attach it to the media profile as long as you don't mind modifying the profile every time your shop environmental conditions change.
  2. Graphic Styles

    I think we already had this thread? Using styles throughout the Adobe suite is just good practice. Especially if you ever get into InDesign. Has saved me thousands of hours over the years. With sign work it's not as crucial (good for branding as mentioned) but if you ever end up doing layout for...
  3. 25500 and shrinkage!

    You're referring to "vertical compensation" which is an option through the machine (Onyx just has access to it). You can set it manually through the machine interface. Worth trying OP.
  4. Crashed hard drive

    If you can still access the drive use something like unstoppable copier http://www.roadkil.net/program.php?ProgramID=29 Normal copy commands will fail when they hit the first damaged file, unstoppable copier keeps going, skipping the few files with damage. If you can't access the drive try...
  5. Easy Slideshow Java Scripts

    Here's a better one using jquery: http://galleria.aino.se/
  6. Map software

    Honestly I'd look into outsourcing it literally. To an actual person, not software. Still save yourself all the time and you can mark up your cost to your normal rate and be way head. MaPublisher does look very interesting though, thanks WildWest.
  7. Im Stumped ...Little Help?

    If I can't say anything nice, quote someone else who can't either. If I can't say anything nice, quote someone else who can't either. If I can't say anything nice, quote someone else who can't either. If I can't say anything nice, quote someone else who can't either. Oh fark it: that's not a...
  8. Map software

    It can only help you in that it'll map the spots and give you something to trace (you can't print it commercially legally), I don't know of any tool to automate the process and spit out print ready art. Do the work it's good pen tool practice. A good print map is focused and simplified to...
  9. Wordpress help!

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page You're way out of your depth. Have you even used a CMS before, or specifically a PHP CMS? I'm also with Mike you need to verify that your client has rights to what he's asking you to do. He may not.
  10. Best host and registrar?

    n/t
  11. History channel hits program new low

    History Channel hasn't been good in fifteen years. Think is on point, watch real documentaries.
  12. Business Name

    Spend some time in Google Adwords keywords tool and figure out keywords that have actionable traffic with good conversion and buyable top level domains, use that information to help influence your decision. First though register your company as Whittier Enterprises or Whittier Solutions, LLC or...
  13. Debt free or new machines??

    I always wonder about all the posts here asking about simple things like pricing and ROI calculations. Take some business classes at a local university extension or something already. Business failure rates aren't high because it's easy. That said I wouldn't personally take on debt for a sign...
  14. Can you relate to this?

    Oh and also a 1/4 column newspaper ad, same design, due in 20 minutes what no I'm not paying more for that it's the same design, I don't care if it's a different size and medium
  15. JV3-160 Ran out of ink!? (Lyson)

    You'll probably need to do a fill ink or two and waste a crap load of ink, sorry. JV3 does it's fill ink on every line. Common problem with this type of cartridge and why anyone running a JV3 should go bulk.
  16. OMG - I forgot to move the head back to capping station!!!

    We clean around the heads daily and it's paid off, every morning with power off before it's turned on for the day. The JV3 requires a lot of love, I know we all groan cleaning the thing now that we're spoiled on the HP L25500.
  17. F*&% pos **%$&* $&*&

    At least when you do something over again that you just lost for whatever reason you're usually much quicker and more efficient at it and often end up with a better product.
  18. Additional Adobe licenses??

    Adobe licenses are seat licenses, deal with it. Cost of business.
  19. F*&% pos **%$&* $&*&

    There are scripts out there to prompt you to save at a set interval. Smooth move ex-lax (that's right I'm bringing that back).
  20. Android Phone? Hello Big Brother!

    Privacy is essentially an obsolete concept under current law and becomes more so every day. The (very few) senators who attempt to get a handle on the situation do so inconsistently and without much success. The big business lobby tends to outspend any grass roots efforts to protect individual...
