Not the coated book we have... Still, a moot point as I've finished cutting and put them on the Sales Manager's chair

Even though it's a moot point: I tried the RGB profile, and the Hex. It printed out too much of a dark green. I tried other on-screen color matches, but still not a printer match... Now, I'm on to cutting out the decals by hand, at least it gives me an excuse to listen to a favorite podcast...

Good question... I remember working in a press room that still did ink mixes for spot colors... But that's gone the way of much print media... I just look forward to a day job back in a design studio where they understand what's possible and what's not...

And even the Pantone chip had a breakdown for specific inks, not a CMYK

In the end, after having an expert from tech support and a co-worker who has worked with color issues back me up, they're going with the plain yellow...

Waaay too green now...

I know that, and you know that - try explaining it to a non-production person who thinks I have a magic wand to make this happen...

My managers need new decals done. This would normally be easy, except it's of a product that's made with a day-glo chartreuse paint. While our staff photographer shot it and corrected it perfectly for web viewing, the test prints look like a banana yellow. I'm beating my head against the wall...

VICTORY!!! Between some help from Onyx finding there was indeed a communication error via TCP, and my internal IT guy doing a hard reboot on the Epson, we solved the problem... My Sales Manager is yelling at someone else now...

I tried the same posters that printed successfully last week - and that just was dropped from the queue. I know Onyx ran an autmatic upgrade, I wonder if I now need to download a bunch of updated media profiles as well...

I looked over some old posts - I may try a different media profile first...

Ethernet... And I just printed posters on Friday - similar setup, both raster and vector graphics on a long sheet, no problem...

Here's what's weird for my printing today... I'm going through my usual print setup, I create my artwork (in Illustrator) with both raster and vector logos that have been used a thousand times, lay out all of the various sizes for decals on one large sheet with CutContour lines, and SaveAs a...

That's what everyone else told me, as well as my Grimco vendor... Now, if my sales manager remembers that he wanted this type of decal, I'll order the media and finally get going on it...

That seems to be a simple enough process - but, of course, I haven't had any follow-up from this salesman about his request...

We'll be using the same General Formulations 220 that we've been using for bumper stickers, and we have an Epson that prints with solvent ink. The liner has a sheen to it - I could probably test some scraps and see if it goes through. I'd lay out the stickers in my usual sheet, and place the...

That's what he's going for - though I'm not sure most of our demographic would be receptive to QR codes, either...

Yes.

Ummm... no I didn't... And yes, you're being rude... I do shaped decals on adhesive vinyl. Again, I'm sorry I don't have encyclopedic knowledge of every type of print media. Next time, I won't bother to educate myself if I'm called a moron for it..

I've done complex shapes that go around our various product logos - but this was the first time a salesman asked me for the plain white shapes.
