  1. Signlab 10

    Ooops I forgot about the CMYK bitmap support but this program should have had that once it started venturing into digital printing many years ago. It seems everything Cadlink are trying to do with this program is about a decade behind corel and adobe. I wanted something breath taking, but it...
  2. Signlab 10

    I ran the new version 10 for the trial period. I was not impressed. Their is nothing new. Supposed to be faster than the old 32 bit program but in 64 bit format it actually took twice as long to perform a supersize task!! It still runs as previous in separate windows, which I was so hoping it...
  3. Anyone doing motocross graphics with a Roland/Versaworks?

    . Good luck trying to make any money with this. The materials are expensive (only buy substance or convex). Also the plotter you use has got to be up to cutting very high pressures (I wrecked one). The outlines for the panels are constantly changing every year and sometimes you will have to...
  4. lost a job to a competitor story :)

    I get this all the time. I agree the customer only sees price!!!! Only way to try and curb this, is to give them a cheaper option (such as non illuminted and smaller) and let them compare. 9/10 times they will choose the expensive option. Maybe give the customer a polite message to ask why you...
  5. Need advice on a big graphic on an interior wall

    Personally I would insist the client gets a decorator into strip and prepare the surface of the wall as we are signmakers not painters. Also I agree the better the material the better the application. This is a bit like any piece of vinyl application, it is only as good as the surface it is...
  6. Valuejet Ethernet Socket

    Thanks all Seems very odd that Mutoh have fitted this port and then we are not use it. Is their a driver so I can run it as such and can I still use it on my RIP? SC
  7. Valuejet Ethernet Socket

    I have an issue that the ethernet socket is failing on my Valuejet 1604 and needs to be held in a certain way for it to work. Does anyone know where I can buy a new ethernet socket to solder onto the board. As Mutoh are saying the only way is to replace the whole board, which is huge expense...
  8. 3M "Micro Comply" vinyl?

    I have noticed lately that a lot of the IJ range has been down graded, as far as what surfaces (complex or flat) they are compatible with. Seems to me that some of the issues we have previously had with some of the materials (lifting etc.) are now because these materials are not suitable for the...
  9. Signlab 10

    Cadlink have contacted me. Signlab 10 to be launched in the UK on the 19th at the Sign & Digital show http://www.signuk.com/ I love Signlab but their has been some huge holes in it which is still a 32 bit programme. This has supposedly been addressed and has been upgraded to 64 bit so it will...
  10. Signlab 10

    Yes it's on the way!!!! Well let's hope and pray that at last they are running a true 32 bit programme. Because it is about 5 years behind every other design software. SC
  11. printhead Mutoh problem

    Is this a valuejet machine? If it is that issue looks as if the printhead has died. Replace print head and head cable and you will be back in business. Don't use the machine whilst printing like this as it could blow the f2 fuse on the motherboard which is a pain to replace. Also only use a...

  14. Missing one side of yellow !!

    I don't normaly comment on Mimakis but my info is relevant. Before touching any of the cables please make sure the machine is unplugged and properly discharged. The cables in these machines are very sensitive and can cause issues if badly seated. SC
  15. Rust Patina Wrap how to

    Yes I agree this is some sort of plug in but their has been a lot of artwork sourced for this vehicle. By the looks of things the artwork has had many hours spent on it to get the rust and signs of age in extly the right place. My only issue with this particular wrap is its glossy finish. It...
  16. Anybody remember this old cutter?

    OMG This is where I started!!!! The company I originally started with at the heady age of 17 was heavily investing into Gerber products. The company that marketed them here in the UK was Spandex. We would get all the upgrades like an additional box on top that held fonts and outline cards...
  17. Materials for short term full vehicle wraps.

    We had a similar enquiry regarding a fleet of thirty vehicles and cars. The issue isn't about finding a cost effective material for the wrap, but more the costs of applying and removing. It does not matter if it is a cheap material the application time will be the same regardless. Also some of...
