  1. Router

    I've had switches for ~15 years, hubs were more common but even 10 years ago you could buy a switch off the shelf at a big box. Wasn't auto-sensing though, they'd have a dedicated uplink that required a crossover. Then they started crossing over internally on the dedicated uplink so you could...
  2. Router

    Comcast only gives you 1 public IP which is why you need a device doing NAT translation. As for the crossover cable discussion -- you USED to need crossovers to uplink between two switches (or a switch and a router) but anything made in the last ten years autodetects so it isn't necessary anymore.
  3. Kayak wrap...

    Why not use the 3M IJ180-10 canned profile?
  4. Banners on HP L25500

    We're done a ton of banner work on the L25500, great machine for quality banner work though for simple cheap banners we still do 4-pass on a JV3.
  5. Bowing/ Smiling In Print l25500

    Actually we do it's everyone else that doesn't. The USA is mostly Imperial measures which is ridiculous really.
  6. Custom Flag Pricing

    Anytime you price design as part of the product you're making a bad call imo. Design fees should be separate from product fees. You're going to take a loss competing on price with the internet almost always and if you throw in design on top of that...ridiculous, you'll go out of business or die...
  7. Help making this seamless tileable

    Except that auto tracing is an automated solution to something better done by hand...which is exactly what you're saying should be done in this case. :help I get your point but the metaphor was pretty terrible ;). Making tiles was one of the first things I used Photoshop for back in the...
  8. Project Tracker App?? Anyone??

    I use ActionMethod for project management but Wunderlist is a very good "todo" application.
  9. Printing problem with adobe

    You'll lose color management by saving to EPS though. Smart use of PDF is a better option, pre-flattening the transparencies if your RIP starts drawing boxes. Or even completely pre-flattening and saving to the target dpi as a .tif, at least then you'll still have a managed color space.
  10. Playing with my logo a bit...

    I'd like a little bit more contrast between the Sign Amigo yellow and the red background.
  11. D/S magnets? Is that what she means?

    We got asked for transparent magnets once. She wanted static clings.
  12. Help making this seamless tileable

    This. Why bother with software and plugins when this skill is so basic...
  13. Attention HP l25500 owners!

    I've seen it done but I haven't managed yet. The Feller's "suave" we used for double sided on our JV3 doesn't handle two passes of heat very well. After the first time through it buckles a bit too much as it's 3 layers of material. The process isn't too difficult it's finding the right material...
  14. Router

    OP's model doesn't support dd-wrt which is too bad. I wouldn't worry too much, drop your switch behind it, plug everything into the switch, with only one uplink into the router and you'll likely be completely fine. Intranet traffic will hardly touch the router and it's relatively tough to...
  15. Rest easy Dan Wheldon

    As I said, tragic only in the way that all human deaths are tragic. Nothing in particular that would cause extreme distress or sorrow above and beyond normal death sorrow.
  16. Printing problem with adobe

    Are you putting a drop shadow on top of a spot color? That's a typical cause for this problem. Don't do that, convert the spot to the color space you're working in before adding rasterized transparency effects on top of it.
  17. Best print setting for JV3 printer

    This for most anything. Small stuff (delicate registration) drop down to slow speed or go unidirectional, for cheap banners go to 4pass.
  18. Rest easy Dan Wheldon

    It's terrible for his family but I wouldn't really call it tragic. Dude drove a bomb at 200mph for a living, he knew the risks. Tragic only in the way that any human death is tragic.
  19. Old sign I found in my new house

    You could get like $50 for it on ebay probably. Pretty rough shape but anything food is collectible.
  20. Copyright - one time usage wording?

    I suggest you read through the AIGA Standard Agreement contract example and formulate your own contracts out of it (bring your company lawyer into it if you can...). http://www.aiga.org/standard-agreement/ If you don't have contracts up front you don't really have anything. Oral contracts are...
