Anyone know if it's possible to uninstall and reinstall just Cut Server? It's just flat out stopped working and is locking our RIP computer up constantly. I'm not sure if it's possible to just remove Cut Server without affecting Postershop.

I kinda of agree on the non-compete for shop employees/designers. For a salesperson or account manager they're a must, but I don't think it's fair at all to require a production person to sign one. Yes, they protect me as a business owner, but realistically, there's not much a $10/hr vinyl...

Make sure they understand how to design for production. I've seen way too many "designers" who can create some truly amazing designs on screen only to find out after the fact there's almost no way to actually produce what they designed. Sign design is different than designing for print or web...

Loosen the screws, raise the head height lever to thick (actually, that's push it down), while you're holding the lever down retighten the screws. Don't tighten them freakishly tight, they're just plastic and will strip out easily, just tight enough to hold it in place. IF you don't loosen the...

All the .pdfs I've gotten had it listed as a custom font "PNCsomethingorother" (can't remember exactly). Do you need the logo or something Vinylman? We do alot of work for PNC Mortgage, I may be able to help you out.

Why not open the PSB in Photoshop and the vector art in illustrator? Then just copy and paste the vector art into the .psb file in Photoshop, flatten and save as a .tiff? Seems like the easiest way. Just did that this morning in fact.

Anybody using Mimaki's OEM bulk ink system on a JV3 or JV33? Their site claims a 45% savings over OEM cartridges which puts it at a competitive price point with 3rd party bulk ink systems while still using OEM ink. Overall seems pretty darn attractive to me. Just curious if anyone has an real...

For real, if he's running two of those 24/7 for months on end to the point he's literally destroying the printers he needs to step up to a serious production printer like an XL1500 or something... That's just downright stupid to pigeonhole yourself to the point your workload prevents you from...

tubes hands down. Once you figure out the tricks to opening them they're way better than boxes. We just got a box of 15oz banner in the other day and it damn near killed me to get it open, ended up cutting up the box. I couldn't imagine trying to open a box with a 63"x150' roll of banner...

We're not strictly a high-volume wrap shop so the price tag isn't for us, but I can absolutely see value in this machine for the right shop. If it works as claims, it seems like it would open the door to allow a busy shop to produce more wraps in a week. Any shop is limited in what they can...

PM me if you end up selling anything, you mentioned a few things we may have an interest in if the price is right.

Gemeni catalogs aren't big themselves but when you consider they send you about a dozen a month they stack up pretty quick... The pages aren't numbered but my Fastenal catalog is pretty hefty too...

Try a different profile, flip every other panel, run the printer slower at a higher resolution. I've also had success adding a little bit of noise to the file in Photoshop to help blend things together, it's helped with that for me in the past. But the biggest thing is printing with a good...

If you can get reliable printing, yes, absolutely. We're going through anywhere between 30-50 cartridges per month between our two printers, that can add up to a savings of $15k-$20k+ in a year. That's a free printer every year. But if your printers are not running reliably or you're...

For what it's worth this is what I did. All PMS spot colors, none were converted to process color.

Wow that's really bad customer service considering it's less than a year old. After reading all of the horrible posts on here and elsewhere about the atrocity that is Sign Warehouse it's amazing to me that they're still in business.

I switched to Clearstar's MaraJet ink for a couple months in our JV3 and JV33, results were not desirable to say the least. Went back to OEM before we fried a print head (or all of them), I'm pretty sure it was in the near future if we stuck with it. Clearstar was extraordinarily helpful with...

Best plotters ever. Best tech support ever. They're a fantastic company, I've had many experiences with them just like yours. If they ever get into the solvent printer market that would be our next purchase based on their tech support alone.

I'd go for Onyx, but wait for X10. I hear profiling in X10 will be significantly improved over previous versions.

Good to know. The file had both spot PMS colors and process colors. One of the colors, PMS 151, I converted to a process in one part and left as a spot color in another to see what happened. None were a dead on match to 151 orange, but they were very close given what I'm working with. There was...
