Thanks for the timely thread, guys. I've got a school asking me about doing the same thing in their media center for the upcoming school year and they've got freshly repainted walls. Looks like I've got a lil' more homework to do yet...thanks for all the insight.

I'm with player on this one. Find the purest isopropyl you can find. I can usually only get my hands on 91% where I am. It's ridiculous the difference in evaporation time between 70% and 91%. Here in Georgia, using 70% almost always means wiping down with a dry rag after wiping down with...

Can't speak from personal experience here, but I've heard very good things about the Summa line of plotters/cutters....especially if you need optical registration.

sinetist, as I shake my head in disbelief....you get the prize for the day and, yes, it was in my collection the whole time. thanks for pointing to it so i could find it.

I thought this one would be simple...I even thought I had it in my collection because it looks so familiar. Maybe some of you out there actually do and can point me in the right direction. Thanks, Jason

Mark, Like others have mentioned previously, Francis Lestingi is an excellent source of information when you're just getting your feet wet in gilding. There's a wealth of information in the articles section of his website, signsofgold.com. Francis has a style of writing that's much appreciated...

I have limited experience with exporting DXF files. However, when I've taken my files to my local machine shop for water jetting, he opened them and was surprised at how clean they were. On a fairly complex file, I think we only had to massage two points to get it ready to cut. The point to all...

could also be the space after the "f" in $form_data_size within the VALUES parameters.

Thanks, FinishLine....

Folks, I'm sure this has been answered before, but, how do you get the toolbars in Flexi 8.x to stay put from one session to the next? Is it a custom workspace, flush the preferences or what? I'd like everything to be where it was the last time I used Flexi, but as it stands now, I gotta set...

anyone know the possibilities of Mimaki releasing a factory bulk ink system for the CJV30 line? i'm sure the "modder" crowd already has a solution. if so, what would your choice be if you were taking a stab at converting one to bulk ink? no real need yet, just curious how the experienced guys...

boxerbay, thanks for pointing out some of the finer points of printing. i, myself, often get caught up in a purely CMYK world and rarely take a glimpse, let alone get to know, other printing processes. thanks for sharing.

Sticky, Yeah, I had tried that approach and with the particular tone I was looking for, I ended up with too much of a color shift. I had my fingers crossed though... boxerbay, I totally agree with the pantones. I'm fairly new to working exclusively with pantones and I'd rather keep them pure...

jbogart, Thanks for the reply. Originally, I was trying to work it out by using two different PMS colors, namely 188 and 202. The 202 had too much magenta. Then I toyed with setting both the foreground and background at 188 and using transparency (yikes!) to work out the shade for my watermark...

Hey Guys & Gals, I've got a little color selection issue I'm hoping you folks can help out with. Here's the background info: First off, I currently outsource all my printing to a local printer. I'm working with a client who's very particular about color and we're currently working on a...

not sure what your requirement specs are, but i recently picked up a Dell 17R to run my graphtec plotter. i wanted something that i could load up with flexi and illustrator and take home at night on those days when i just can't get enough of this insanity called the sign business. i got mine...

Angela, Try calling Josie at DaVinci Signs. They do some good work and they ship nationwide as far as I know. Best of luck, Jason
