  1. DMCA takedown notice phishing scheme

    Not sure if anybody has a similar setup, but we use squarespace, and we have a form submission for new customers to request quotes. It's great, but lately it's been getting bs submissions from SEO folks, sales leads lists, etc. At any rate, I'd never seen an outright phishing attempt until now...
  2. Substance vinyl issues

    I haven't used much of this stuff, so I'm hoping others have. Previously I printed on a 60" roll of Icon pm-3755 (just a note, I hate their naming conventions, and their website makes my head hurt) with no issues. I have a customer who was wanting industrial labels, with thick laminate, for...
  3. GT Barnum Classic

    This is, as far as I can tell, a gemini only version of the Barnum font with extra scallops taken out of the serifs. At any rate, gemini no longer lists this font on their website, so I'm hoping someone downloaded their whole catalogue like I meant to years back... Here's an example:

  5. Blackout windows with panels

    It's my turn to black out some windows! I priced up 3m 2080 black at $1.8/ft^2, and black ACM at $1.88/ft^2. My thought was to just cut acm panels and adhere them to the window to save install time, but I'm concerned with how much tape/lexel to use, as I imagine the whole panel buckling when it...
  6. Anybody else closed for the holiday..................................................................................................................?

    We are. First time ever that I know of. Yet here I sit, broken hearted, I came to unload a truck, that hasn't departed... Off to laminate something in the meantime! So, in honor of all those veterans, here's a video of Mr. Russel Brookshier. This fellow and his son stopped by on the most random...
  7. Transparent backgrounds on PNG's..............................................................................................................

    So I have a png, character on a transparent background. Is there any way to pull that transparency out to use as a cut line with little or no effort? Using corel or illy.
  8. Terminated graphic designer's revenge..................................................?

    I'm making some wallsigns for United Built Homes, and after doing a mess of work in corel, I import it into enroute and notice the telltale signs of slightly crooked letters (vertical strokes having a single step over instead of one continuous line). So I figure the sales guy cocked the logo...
  9. Who wants to help.................................................................

    Me build a new computer. My old one is fine, initially installed 10.24.11 though, so I'm stuck on windows 7, and that's leaving me vulnerable evidently. Plus the new window(s) is 'better.' Whatever. This will be my workstation for presumably the next 10 years, probably going to forgo a graphics...
  10. What is wrong with this pdf...........................................................................

    I got a PDF from a customer, perfect... except it's not. It's all vectors and yet it's 2.3mb? It's 4 lines of text, all fonts I have, but nothing for the life of me will let this file import into corel. Usually I can just print it with a pdf creator and I'll at least get something to work...
  11. HP 560 intermittently printing ghosts.

    So I loaded up some clear arlon 6000, ran a print, and it's got some issues every 4", persisting for 4", then going back to normal. I did a status plot and don't see any printheads missing a great deal of nozzles. Though the black bars beside the nozzle checks have a streak in the center of them...
  12. And the bidding starts at $25...................................................................

    Wild times. https://bid.hgpauction.com/auctions/8660/herita10216/lot-details/d0c06b33-b642-4a0d-ba51-b0520057263a
  13. Ok, which one of you did this....................................................

    Sadly the reddit sign folks can't seem to agree on the issue. My money is on the wrong substrate, styrene or something.
  14. Optiscout camera not outputting video

    I just booted optiscout on my shopsabre router, uncovered the lens, and I get a black feed, no static. Anybody have any sort of trouble shooting tips I can try. Tech support's initial suggestion was the lens cap is on... So far I've reseated all plugs into the camera and the box, I have a red...

    Customer requesting a font either the same as or similar to Medicine Shoppe, also needing to know what the word Smith is in this image:
  16. HP 560 sounds a little grindy

    Haven't had any quality problems out of it, but she's groaning and grinding on material advances/preheat time, and creaking slowly on regular printing. It sounds like it's coming out of the black bar material breaks across as it enters the printer. If I free spin the bar, it pushes the material...
  17. Highlight from ISA

    Had to pass this sign multiple times on the way to the trade show floor, as did 10k other attendees.
  18. What's the worst file you've been given to print?

    I just got one, pdf's supplied from a school for softball tournament brackets. I'll usually import something like this into corel and scope it out for issues... This particular one tried to crash corel, had all the fonts named 'AAAAAA Times blah blah', which is just a pleasure to fix, it also...
