I hear you there. I was down in Jamaica over New Years. It was pretty mild when we came back, but Winnipeg airport always seems to be freezing no matter where you get back from the minute you step out of those doors... lol

Hahah, we're bred into the snow. Besides, God made something to counterbalance snow and cold temperatures... TIMMYS! :Coffee::Canada 2: Hahah, Winnipeg weather affecting your health there Pat?

We usually run almost everything at 720x720 depending upon colors and print type. I find greys and reds are particularly susceptible to washing out at 360x540 and lower (mind you, if its just black then its all good). I've found that I bounce between 3M 180-c and IJ3555 profiles as they seem...

I recently had a similar problem (which I believe stemmed from my usage of the Bitstream Font Navigator that came with Corel X4), where all my fonts would load, save a few key ones like Arial. The only way I was able to fix it was through stop using that program and by ceaselessly playing...

I feel sympathy towards the employee, but at the same time, his offenses towards the employer and his business are far too grievous in the sense of maintaining his employment. Sometimes there's no helping some people - they'll choose whatever path in life they think is best, regardless of...

The encoder strip on the mimaki is that clear strip that is roughly 1" wide by the length of the machine that sits in behind the print head. (You can see it behind the black pulley line). We just cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol and a very small lint-less cloth (you have to be very careful...

That did it, thank you kindly! Sincerely, Roen

Down to the issue, I ran a thorough cleaning on our Mimaki JV3 160SP this morning (nozzlewash, carriage out and a manual head cleaning) as per my usual monday morning routine. The issue came when I attempted to run a print. The print head would seem to create this odd banding (as the print head...

I can attest to this. Our EM sales rep is out of Winnipeg but they still ship those sign blanks out to us from Edmonton. Unfortunately our nearest center of supply is Winnipeg and there's no real supplier between there and Regina that stock anything of decent comparison.

Too much to look at - my eye doesn't know where to start. Try condensing the lines a little and make sure you make your main copy the most eye-catching piece (In this case, I'd assume it to be Racing). Also, try limiting your font choices to one or two to carry throughout the design. The...

I'm not entirely sure why there aren't more courses like this around, but this is what I took two years ago in Edmonton, Alberta. http://www.nait.ca/program_home_15376.htm Although I grew up in a sign shop, I felt that it really did give me the tools I needed to succeed and get a good solid...

Not as big a gamer as I used to be, but I've been kicking through some of the classics lately. Used to play WoW, Horde on Farstriders and Alliance on Moon Guard. I used to beat around Neverwinter Nights for the longest time as well, but that's something I've also fallen away from. Right now...

FileZilla works great in my book.

A long-time customer of ours decided to order himself up some camo for his personal truck from Realtree.com. He brought it in over the weekend and had us give him a hand in applying it. I've never personally been a fan of hunting camo myself, but it definitely did make the truck look hella'...

I've got a similar issue I've had to make due with regarding our wide-format Summa cutter as well, only I rip and cut right out of flexi. It reads the registration marks perfectly fine, but there's a variance in the cut lines (and they are consistent each time, so I've been able to compensate)...

Our Edge and Envision have probably been the best investments we've made, considering both of ours have been with us steadily sloughing through the bulk of our work over the past decade. They may not be as viable for some of the wide-format cutting/printing work, but there's still some pretty...

This definitely would've been fun, though I've got so much on the go right now I wouldn't be able to find the time. I'm an avid listener to Death Metal and Symphonic Metal, definitely my favorite genre by far. Looking forward to see what people come up with, :rock-n-roll:

Here's two helmets that we've done (both on rather short notice), as well as a really fun golf cart wrap. The yellow and white helmet was a bit of a pain, considering we had to wrap the then black helmet entirely in white, then wrap it again with the colors. And yes, we attached a barbecue...

Morning All, Been having a rather bizarre problem over the past two months (strangely enough, since our former Graphic Designer quit) that I was wondering if anyone had any input/experience with a similar issue. Currently, I am working with: FlexiSIGN-Pro 7.6v2 Mimaki JV3-160SP wide format...
