  2. Okay Font Wizards.... Ready...Set....Go

    Can anyone tell me what this font is?
  3. Creating Bleed in Supplied Illustrator Files for Decals

    Curious if anyone has a way of leaving the cut line where it is and expanding the artwork out.
  4. Creating Bleed in Supplied Illustrator Files for Decals

    We are supplied Illustrator files from some marketing companies that we make decals for. Just curious if someone has an easy way of creating bleed. Many times we will create our cut path and then offset the path and bring it in a bit. Problem is that on some graphics it doesn't look good (see...
  5. How to drum up business...

    We run our business out of a 1000 sq foot space that is on our personal property. Right now 95% of our sales come from online orders. I want to start advertising to different businesses in our local area. We live out in the country so the businesses that we would be dealing with are about 20...
  6. Hp latex 360 printer

    I could train a monkey to run my HP310... In fact I think I might steal a monkey from my local zoo to help save on labor costs...
  7. HP latex 310 Print Quality? Grainy?

    We have a 310. Our prints don't look like. We are running Onyx 12. We purchase a bunch of our media's from Lexjet.com. They have a bunch of pre-built color profiles for their medias that seem to work pretty good. I have a few custom profiles that I made and they look good also. To me looks...
  8. HP L310 - Color woes with YELLOW!

    I have a 310 Powered by Onyx Production House and the prints look fantastic. I have made my own media profiles though.
  9. Onyx 12

    I just paid $695 for Advantage for our Production House system. Not sure why yours is so much.... Loving version 12. The grommet and trim marks are awesome. Setting bleed and having it mirror out is awesome. They added these features to their quick sets now so it makes everything very...
  10. Wanted: Falcon Outdoor 46 main board so I dont have to flash one.

    I have a falcon 46 in my garage collecting dust. Have some print heads and inks too. Sick of tripping over them...drive down to Wisconsin to pick them up and there yours for free....
  11. Are all grommets created equally?

    I've got a grommet press that I purchased through lexjet. I have a #2 die on it. Lexjet grommets are a little pricey. Do you think a #2 grommet from a different manufacturer (stimpson for example) would work with this machine?
  12. How do I know if the colour is printing correctly if I am only given cmyk values?

    I think you would be amazed at what profiling to G7 would do to your color match. Many of the good printer dealers have a G7 expert that you can hire for a day to come out and show you how to make a profile for your printer. It's not super hard to do. You need a measurement device like an iOne...
  13. My Latex Colors Look Like $h*t

    I work full time for a commercial offset printer in WI and there I'm responsible for making everything G7 (Epson proofers, Printing presses and calibrated monitor proofing). We are G7 Master printer. We started our sign business back in 2009 as a side project. My wife runs it during the day and...
  14. How do I know if the colour is printing correctly if I am only given cmyk values?

    @ altereddezignz Are you printing with the same model printer and inks they have?
  15. How do I know if the colour is printing correctly if I am only given cmyk values?

    I have found that many designers don't even know what a Pantone color is :) Many send their files in RGB We have our printers profiled to print to the G7 specification. That way if the customer complains about a color issue we can show/prove that we are printing to a known standard. In theory...
  16. My Latex Colors Look Like $h*t

    It's all about making a custom profile. You'll need to purchase an XRite i1 to read color charts. All RIPs are different on how you make the icc profile for your printer. Onyx 12 has s nice wizard based system. If I were you I would also profile your printer to the G7 specification while your at...
  17. looking at switching from Adobe...has anyone else?

    Pony up the money for the Adobe Creative Cloud and chalk it up as an expense necessary to do business.
  18. Onyx 12

    Anyone know when Onyx 12 is launching? The Onyx website says coming summer 2015 -- but this dude is sick of the suspense -- I need to know. I see that they have a new video on their youtube channel giving a sneak peak and the marks and bleed tools look great!
  19. Cutting Master Pro in Illustrator 2015

    When your installing there is an advanced options button you can click on. Make sure to uncheck remove old versions -- then you keep the older version of software on your computer.
  20. New 360 coming... now I have cold feet

    First -- You are going to love it. No worries. We haven't seen our electricity bill go up much -- been running ours for almost a year now. In the winter we found our heating bill actually went down because the printer keeps the workshop warmer. When not using, I keep ours turned on -- it goes...
