  9. A interesting color resource

    I just ran across this site and I thought I would mention it to the community. It appears to be some sort of a color value wiki. Search for a color and you get a page with several different numeric values for that color including cieLAB. I am about to try it for matching a call out from a...

    A client wants me to product some digitally printed signs with 2" deep returns on the side. We are shooting for a acrylic gallery wrap so to speak. I have a good idea on the process but not really sure what type of adhesive will bond .25" miters and dry clear. Any suggestions?
  13. What's your preferred double sided banner product?

    I am having some issues with my current double sided banner. There is nothing worse than a hickey or a streak in a double sided banner caused by media.

  14. Strange Issue on LX3000

    Hello all. We are running a wallpaper job on our new latex printer where we encounter a mottling problem halfway through each panel.

    I just received an RFQ from a client that specs PETG with chemically polished edges. Chemical polishing is a new concept to me. Does anyone know how it is done and if it is a viable solution for PETG? I am sure it must involve some type of hardcore solvent.
  18. How is Thrive?

    The flatbed we purchased years ago came with ColorGate Production server which I really like. We need to upgrade a few old Onyx rips in the shop and I was hoping to unify on ColorGate but the complete package price from Fuji is over $20,000. How different is Thrive from PosterShop/Production...
  19. Thinking of trading

    I cut vinyl on the side with a Gerber Envision 375 that I picked up about 2 years ago. It is not a conflict of interest with my current company since we do not offer cut vinyl. I am thinking of trying to sell my Envision 375. I love the machine but it is only 15" wide and I do not have an Edge...

    I am wondering how others handle square footage in their estimates. Do you round up to the nearest whole number, a set decimal place or neither? We round up to the nearest whole number.
