  1. Bought an iPad.. now what?

    Below is a list of the apps I have found useful so far: ACT Printer - Great app that allows you to print from your desktop to your ipad Adobe Ideas - A simple sketch pad. Numbers - Apples spreadsheet for ipad - I find it a bit limited but it is great for keeping static information...
  2. A recycling idea

    Yea, it really is a shame to throw this stuff away when so many people can find a use for it. A good friend of mine took several tubes off of my hands for use with the Indian Princesses. He cut up the tubes and gave a section to each girl who then created a totem pole piece. Later at an outing...
  3. Inks for better outdoor life

    Even without lam Triangle mld should be good for up to 1 year. At 35 cents a sqft, I assume the vinyl may be suspect as well. Can you convert to true solvent? If you laminate, can you offer a 2 year or even 3 year guarantee? These are the avenues that I see as open to you.
  4. RGB from X3 to X5 problems.

    Two other things you could try.... Set your X5 "Color Management Policies" for opening files to discard/ignore or whatever similar option you have here. Or.... Export your X3 color settings and see if you can import them into X5
  5. RGB from X3 to X5 problems.

    Well that blows my theory completely out of the water. At first glance, it looks like CMYK data in X3 being coverted to a different RGB via different profiles in X5. Hopefully, Joeshaul can find out something for you.
  6. RGB from X3 to X5 problems.

    Would these files be CDR files or are they EPS or some other format? I do not know Corel very well but it looks like a difference in color settings. If the exported file uses the CMYK data, importing into X5 would allow you to see the same numbers but the color settings would show different...
  7. Who would you recommend for automatic file backups?

    I agree with techman. I would look at Genie Timeline. It is essentially the window's equivalent of Time Machine on OS X. You can back up to several types of media. The pro version even has an option to back up to a ftp site if you want an offline backup. http://www.genie-soft.com
  8. longest print ever?

    2008 Outback Bowl I printed several several 5'x150' banners to wrap the stadium with my previous employer. Fortunately we were able to splice if needed.
  9. Spyder3 ICC profile and Flexi

    Also, it is worth mentioning that i1 profiler was announced at IPEX. Xrite will upgrade and PM5 or Monaco packages purchased to i1 profiler when it is released in Q4
  10. Warning to GS/ColorBurst Users

    I am having a head replaced in my GS today (under warranty) due to the green nozzle not firing. I never noticed because my print quality out of colorburst was still good. After closely examining the lin and profiling charts, I noticed that they were not printing using green ink. Long story...
  11. 3M DI-NOC vs. Oracal 975 Carbon

    Have you priced the dinoc? I had a client request samples on two varieties of dinoc and the price was over $500 for about 10 yards.
  12. Make the switch to UV flatbed...?

    When I saw the HP700, I was told it would be sub $100k. I was also told that it could only be purchased through their distributor channels and not from HP directly. As far as deciding between an Arizona or an Acuity, I would probably go with whomever offers the cheapest ink. One thing to...
  13. Laminating Painted Floor Against Scuffs - How?

    I am thinking that you should use a clear coat of Sure Step.
  14. my dealer out of magenta!!!!

    Once I ran out of yellow ink for my Epson after waiting 2 weeks for Grimco to complete a back order. It turned out that Epson goofed and did not make enough yellow. I had to ship a box in from Kansas City MO.
  15. scissors

    Friskars have worked well for me in the past. I get the big ones that fit my hand well. Just try to minimize the whole sliding the scissors through material with the blades locked in place thing. That will dull or even notch them. I once notched a pair of scissors by cutting 160' of vinyl with...
  16. 33 metre banner rolls....NOT!!!!

    It sounds like the rolls are really 33 yards.
  17. two-side banner price

    Charge at least double for the printing. Yes, you are not using additional material but double sided printing is a mechanical process that requires extra attention and has a greater potential for waste. You have to realign the back side and make heat adjustments. The back side actually takes...
  18. Ink Limits

    This is the best way to to perform your ink restrictions. This is easy enough to accomplish with Measure tool. If you download profile maker from Xrite, it comes with Measure Tool which will run with limited functionality without the dongle. Open Measure Tool Connect to your Spectro Click on...
  19. Using i1 share > making LAB spot colors > making them work in CB

    Yes, I agree and I see that we are touching on two methods to the same end. Tovis's method: Enter the lab values in illustrator and pass the color along to the rip without adding to the spot color entry. Spot replacement method: Name the color in illustrator and add the name and color values to...
  20. Using i1 share > making LAB spot colors > making them work in CB

    SJM, Eye4Color is right. In a case where the rip has spot color replacement and it is properly configured, named colors defined as spots are identified by the postcript interpreter and replaced with the value from the spot color table. Furthermore, if the replacement if a lab value, device color...
