I dont understand. Is the girl Tonneau? Or is she going to give me a free tonneau? Either way, I'll take it! In other words, I have no idea what a Tonneau is.

Reminds me of the "how much do you charge to print tshirts" question that we average getting 5 times a week. I ask them how many, they respond "depends on how much you charge". I have gotton so tired of playing that game I have started telling people "well, we are in a mexican standoff then, I...

Unless I am having to contour cut the design, I usually print it straight from Corel Draw. I've never had a problem with that. If I do need Flexi, I usually export Draw files as an eps and import into Flexi. bobs suggestion will probably work better though - I have just never tried it.

Before we moved into our current building, the sign at our old location read "Image Printing of SC, Inc.", but now our sign says "Image Graphics Park" and has seperate panels for each of our departments. We have a screen printing department, a sign department, an offset printing department...

Thats what I was thinking. We have only been doing digital printing in house for about a year and a half, but now we use it EVERY day. I cant imagine having a machine and not using a good bit. Maybe the origional poster should concentrate on building his business more than worring about...

We are at $60/hr, but we have automatically added 1 hour into the published price of most every item - with a disclaimer stating that we do so and that additional time is at $60/hr.

I have always noticed that during our slow seasons most of our customers are price shoppers/complainers, but during our busy periods, people just want to know how fast it can be done - not how cheap.

Over the years I have had lots of existing repeat customers to call me and ask to setup a meeting with me, and these customers have given me the distinct impression that they wanted to talk price. Anytime they do that or I get the feeling that they are going to try to negotiate on price, I...

Not technically a seperate business, but we also have an offset printing department and a screen printing department. My wife is the Prez. of a non-profit organization, sometimes that feels like running an entirely seperate business, I spend most of today working on stuff for that today...

I have built and repaired lots of machines, but I agree, it is not really economically the best use of your time. These days computers are so cheap I just run out and get a new one anytime I get frustrated with the old one. Then I give the old ones away and claim that I dont no nothing about...

The question that you asked is very legitimate and appropriate, but we are sign makers, not accountants or financial analyst. I have a BS degree in Business Admin with concentrations in both economics and finance, and I still have no idea what you are asking, even after reading your...

Thats EXACTLY how we do it also. We end up within a 1/4 inch every time (usually closer).

:thumb:Thanks guys, I finally found "rendering intent". After I finish the 6 banners that we are working on I will experiment with those settings.

I just checked, apparently Flexi 8.5 don't have that feature. It has a multitude of settings that can be used for color adjustments, but nothing called "rendering intent".

I must be a dumbarse (of course you have probably figured that out by now). What the heck is "rendering intent"? Is that the same as a profile or substrait type or a print mode or color mode or dither?

I think that the rip in flexi is actually mimicing a printer (driver), so when I print from corel to the Mutoh, I am actually printing to the rip in flexi (as in the corel draw file shows up on the rip applet "production manager" of flexi and I can stop the file from ripping or restart it or...

I don't know. Never heard of "Cutting Master". Is it better? What I do like about Flexi is that it is soooo easy to setup a print and cut job. 3 clicks to create the contour, two more clics to send the file to both the printer and the cutter.

Bingo - I find it strange since lots of sign people use Corel, but flexi must have some weird color incompatibility with corel draw. To Letterman7 - I would guess the OP is printing using a PPD printer to generate a .ps compatible file in a hot folder set in Flexi to print automatically. This...

I am sorry - I am a little retarded about some things. After 20 years in the graphics industry I have no idea what "rendery intent" is and I have not noticed any settings called that in the version of flexi that I have. I will take a closer look.

Maybe this is a new feature in Flexi (I have the newest version). When I installed Flexi it gave me the option to create a print driver. We do most of our printing straight out of Corel. I spent hours today playing with settings. Absoulely nothing worked. Then I noticed that if I...
