  1. Cheap, lightweight flag/canvas 100' x 250'

    Cheap PE 5 oz. material http://www.maiweave.com/ This company sells 5 oz PE banner 196' wide, for roll printing. I beleive it costs about $.05 a sq/ft, sort of like tarp material. Minimum order is something like 16 rolls.
  2. some advice on ps picture

    Lighting, its all about the lighting This was obviously shot under the lights at the restaurant. Photoshop can smell this, here is a one click fix - "Auto Tone"
  3. A con Artist Customer

    Just thought I would throw my $.02 in toward this comment, regarding wholesale coro at $1.25 sq/ft. Lets assume a $90,000 midrange flatbed printer that prints 400 sq/ft per hour, I will use 80% or about 8 boards (equals 10 qty 18" x 24" signs) an hour actual throughput. I will also assume only 1...
  4. VP-540 out of ink

    Just turn the power off overnight (so you don't have to listen to that annoying beep), it will be fine with the head capped off.
  5. Huh?!?!?!

    This happens often to us, it usually is an .eps file created in flexi or corel that is too big for illustrator to open. I beleive the maximum page size for illustrator is 227" x 227". Try to open in flexi or corel if you have access to either one of those programs.
  6. Magnetic cutting questions

    My response to the customers that are going to bring me 5 million signs is that "I will give you a rock bottom price on this order as long as you sign a contract to take delivery of the other 5 million signs within the next 120 days". I have never had to write up the contract.

  8. Onyx 7.3.2 & HP L25500

    Does anyone know why the new HP L25500 Latex printer will not install on ProductionHouse 7.3.2? When I try to install the prninst it says that it is not supported on the hardware key. I can also download the driver in the profile download Client, it just won't let me install it. Do I have to pay...
  9. external heater reviews

    We have 3 of the DigiDry heaters, they are great. They are especially helpful on cotton fabric, it will get hot enough to send up a 6 foot wide wall of eco-solvent smoke while printing. I also suggest good ventillation when using these.

  11. 65" Enduralam dropping?

    We dried all of the cork pads, you can always lower the tension by keeping it loose, however I beleive the more tension on the lam feed and the media feed, the better it works, a print will straighten itself out with enough tension applied. Do not underestimate the importance of the chrome...
  12. 65" Enduralam dropping?

    We run many 50 yard rolls every day on ours for four years now, we can also walk away with confidence that nothing will go wrong. This is a great machine, yours may have been dropped already. Tension is very important, we had to dry the oil off of the cork pads in the tension knobs to get good...

  14. Lamination....HELP!!!!

    We used to have a GBC Artic Titan, and we would have the exact same issue. The problem was the rollers were bowing when they are clamped down all the way, the thinner the vinyl and laminate the worse the problem. The solution was to set the pressure to a much lower pressure (maybe 3mm, I can't...
  15. Should you fire this employee?

    Did he get paid for "his" 2 hours of time? Sounds like he may have been stealing from you long before things got bad. The unfortunate situation he found himself in was a great opportunity for him to show his children how they are the only thing that matters. He could have sold everything and...
  16. Fastening Texas Track to 040 Aluminum

    Polycarbonate track is a better choice because of the different rates of expansion. Polycarbonate is less likely to crack under the stress, you will want to use lots of rivets so the letters do not fall through the gaps that are created when the temperature gets high.
  17. New HP Designjet L25500 Series Printers

    Keep your eyes open I thought I would put in my 2¢, I spoke with an HP rep earlier this summer about these printers, here is what I remember from the conversation. The price is supposed to be in the $20-25,000 range for these printers. There were 2 problems I saw with the 65500 (100") printer...
