  2. Need source for Security Labels

    We've been tasked to produce Sequentially numbered Security Labels. We had some old stock laying around but our Edge printer doesn't produce colors to it very well.

  5. Flexi Production Manager Pauses When Pc Sleeps

    Set prints up for overnight printing and all is good until pc goes to sleep. The printer pauses until wiggling the mouse. My suggestion was to change the settings to not sleep but I have no say in the matter only the Network Admin can make that call. Anyone have any insight on the matter?

  8. Prefered Screen Print Black

    Sending a file to third party for screen printing. Single color, black, on white coroplast. I'd like to make the file as painless as possible for the end user.

  9. General Rant Concerning "schooled" Designers

    I do not hold a degree in Graphic Design. My training was from a military school back in 1995. We covered the basics and I mean "BASICS" (color theory, hand sketching, lettering technique, shading, ets.). We spent maybe two class periods on computers (Macs I believe) It wasn't until getting to...
  10. Rose parade signs

    Anyone catch my stepsons High School Marching Band in the Rose Parade? I know you did. Our company made the "shields" being carried in the front (NICEVILLE). Decal prints laminated and applied to 6mm pvc then shape cut. Great Job Eagle Pride!
  11. Here's one to make ya laugh

    Salesperson gets an email from one of our major clients. Description for a road side sign to let people know they've moved. Would like 2 6mm pvc 4fth x 8ftw. Then types out the text to be on the sign in the email. Also includes a jpg of a logo to include in the layout (side note: the jpg is...
  12. Does illy have an artboard limitation?

    I'm designing a tradeshow display at full scale in Corel X7. Size with crop marks is 221"w x 108"h. When I make a pdf for the third party they inform me that the file comes in at 200"w x .... I figured they're probably using adobe. Sure enough when I open the pdf in illy it's cutting it off. I...
  13. Printable reflective

    Anyone have any success printing on 3M Gold Reflective material? We've only printed on 3m White Reflective and it works great but catalog says only the white is printable. We're using an HP 360 Latex with no white ink. Yeah, I know the colors may come out wonky but I think the plan is to print a...
  14. Issue with HP360 and Flexi Production Manager

    Although we don't use Flexi for design or sending files to print we do use the Flexi Print Production Manager to set prints up. Sometimes a print will pause/stop and won't continue until you wiggle the mouse. Win7 with no screensaver set. Anyone else experienced this? Maybe a mouse driver issue?
  15. Can someone educate me on designing for 4-6 color print?

    I often get pdf's for print and always import them into corel for proofing and to set the correct size. I'm amazed at the number of third party designers who use "PANTONE Process Black C" and "Overprint fill". Don't they know Process Black computes to C0 M0 Y0 K0 100. We never use that formula...
  16. Panface specs

    Having a hard time as a designer explaining the necessary specs needed for panceface signs. "Retainer, flange, and/or rise" means nothing to the designer. We keep getting bitten when trying to size graphics for these panfaces that are on site. Graphics are always too big. All I need to know is...
  17. File not "cut ready"

    Customer brings in file that is labeled as an eps. Turns out it's a raster image. He can't understand why he will be charged an art fee to cut it. I explain it's a raster file and we would have to vectorize it first. It's a group of stars at various sizes. He tells me that he designed it in...

    We have boxes of empty Mimaki and HP 360 ink cartridges. Anyone know where we can ship them to and get some sort of credit? Just trying to keep it green you know.
  20. Any use of "strokes" or outlines should be for print only.

    I received an eps logo today via email. Turned out to be a raster logo! Okay, so I reply to the client as if they weren't familiar with graphic design terms and explained that a vector file is what their designer should have given them. His reply? Oh, I didn't think you guys could use the ai...
