  1. How do I find out what kind of RAM I need to buy?

    corsair.com, run their ram recommendation program, buy what they recommend. Corsair is the gold standard.
  2. media compensation

    You could set your comp in your media profiles instead of relying on the machine comp.
  3. JV3, Wasatch, Triangle Ink users

    The Oracal provided profiles are pretty close, we use them as a baseline to build custom profiles through Onyx.
  4. Spot ON PMS Color matching software...

    The CMYK gamut is rather small, many PMS color are outside of it. Can only take it so far. Pantone makes the Bridge swatchbook for a reason.
  5. Anyone Tweet?

    OP probably misspelled twitter.com and directigveaway.com bought the misspelled domain. Pretty common tactic. Twitter is only a waste of time if you don't like having direct access to professionals in your field or feedback from clients, don't care about making sure your marketing is targeting...
  6. Work Order Prioritizing method?? HELP

    Paper based job tracking is the worst--paper has a tendency to get lost and if you don't also have electronic tracking of it you're screwed when something falls through the cracks. I've been in a lot of paper based job tracking systems and every single one led to jobs being forgotten about or...
  7. Numbering In Illustrator...

    Just make two fields in InDesign using the data merge function that are pulling the same dataset. Bingo, two identical fields post-merge.
  8. JV3, Wasatch, Triangle Ink users

    JV3 using Triangle on mostly Orajet here but Onyx, not Wasatch. No problems so far for what that's worth.
  9. Recommendations on a pen tablet

    Levels of sensitivity is what matters, Wacom excels at this and it's why they're the only real choice in the field. Touch screen monitors and such are binary and therefor nearly useless for drawing.
  10. New Macbook Pro out today

    Thunderbolt is just a renamed Intel technology it's available on every platform soon. Argument is dumb, use what you work better in, case closed. Viruses, font issues, etc. etc. all the reasons people throw around are all obsolete, now all that matters is user preference. So have a preference...
  11. New Building!!

    I hope you have a lot of suction on your JV3 exhaust, solvent fumes are heavier than air. I think a booster fan every 3 feet is recommended if you're going up and out, or a really strong inline fan above the ceiling level so it's not too noisy. I like the treatment on your front counter. :thumb:
  12. Scanner

    From what I understand Microtek is virtually a dead company, in the early 00's their scanners were very good but that's a decade ago already. Best for photo isn't exactly accurate either, since flatbeds aren't ideal (though the shortcomings can be someone mitigated by fluid mounting). Of...
  13. Scanner

    Epson v750M-Pro
  14. Work Order Prioritizing method?? HELP

    Invest in project management software. For a small shop/agency I like ActionMethod, larger shops it gets trickier. There are also open source solutions depending on your technical level and then there's LEAN/AGILE targeted products...
  15. Best Rip for large files

    There actually is a .tif filesize limit (note: filesize, not pixel count as .psd limits) but you can overcome it by enabling ZIP compression in the .tif save dialog. I was able to generate, rip (onyx) and print one .tif that wrapped three walls of a restaurant at 150dpi (photographs, couldn't go...
  16. Square Up

    Mobile payments are a hot arena and Square was one of the first to market, nice product. I don't have much use for it (don't handle billing at my day job, freelance gigs are all over the world and I take online payment), but if I did need such a service Square would be the first one I tried out.
  17. CJV30 upgrade with silver

    I'd be a bit concerned about running silver through a head you swap back and forth to k, metallic particles are a lot harder to clean out of lines thoroughly. Your k channel might end up looking like it just got back from the strip club. Do tell if you get it working!
  18. I'm in such a rut here....

    As a counter-point Nike didn't develop that logo after they were big. ;) There's no reason small businesses can't have clean marks. Depends on the vision of the business owner--if they want to remain small potatoes forever, give them a small potatoes mark. Legitimately nothing wrong with either...
  19. HP L25500 Latex vs Mimaki UJV-160 Hybrid

    Not sure I'd agree Latex is the best quality of all R2R, Epson GS6000 is pretty hard to beat in image quality. Latex is great tech though, can't wait to see what the R2R market is like in a couple of years with these recent disruptors.
  20. Really stupid question, Boss argument after I say NO WAY.

    Interesting, didn't know there was non-adhesive perf. Still seems like a really strange thing to do.
