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...

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...

So, I have an interesting request... My marketing department wants stickers printed to go into online orders. This would be easy, EXCEPT, they want the peel off liner printed on the back with a QR code and promotional sale info. Is this just a matter of keeping the sticker sheet precisely...

I'm trying to do an art print of a high res scan of a painting on canvas. I've saved the .TIF that we got from the artist to a PDF, but it's over 1GB. It imports OK in Onyx, but after Ripping, it just disappears from the screen. Is there a limit to the file size that Onyx can handle? I...

What do you guys do with leftovers or misprints? As a child of Depression-era parents, it's hard for me to just throw stuff away... I have found that large roll ends of vinyl are quite helpful in housetraining my new puppy, and adhesive-backed scraps are fun for my son's classmates to make...

Our company driver dinged our van and there are a couple scratches on the hood panel. this was produced before I even started at the company by our California artist, and the printing was outsourced at the time. Since we now have a printer and media that can do a car wrap, I'm trying to figure...

One of my salesmen is looking to have decals like the attached made. I understand that all I need to do is create a cut file, but what media do I use? He says he's seen decals like this that have a second liner that holds the decal together and is then removed when its applied.

Like anyone else, I'm keeping my eyes open for possibilities.... What is the best way to build an online portfolio? Do you A) build a Wix/Wordpress site with all your varied skills - maybe separated by subpages per concentration? B) use an online portfolio site such as Behance for the same...

One of our brand logos was designed as a raster based file. The designer used a method to get a chrome effect. However, we get requests for this logo as a vector for screen printing. I'd like to re-render it in Illustrator, with gradients approximating the chrome effect, using spot colors...

We had a power outage yesterday... My cutting job was about 25% through, is it possible to re-send the cut file and pick up where I left off?

We had a power outage yesterday, and now after rebooting the PC that functioned as the server for our printer, Onyx's RipQueue won't open. I first get a window from the anti-virus that says "Do you want to allow the following program from an unknown publisher to make changes to this computer?"...

I have a SureColor S60600 and I'm trying to find the proper profile out there to print on poly/cotton canvas... I went to the manufacturer's site (Magic) and found nothing from their on-site search... Their tech support person suggested contacting Epson and asking for one called "Epson GS...

I'm doing a bunch of posters, mostly 11 x 17", but a couple are 18 x 24". I'd like to just run them in a big roll, and then put it on the Graphtec to cut (and save my fingers from more Xacto cuts). How much of a margin should I leave between each poster? I used to leave 1/2" when cutting by...

I need feedback from the hive here. My boss is looking to make fine art prints of illustrations done on our proprietary clothing line. He wants to know how long these prints would last on canvas media. Has anyone here done this type of printing, and what are your results?

... Can I still have what was printed cut on the Graphtec? I'd hand cut if it was just paper rectangles, except now I'm doing decals in a complex shape...

We have a Graphtec 8600 using Onyx. The cut lines are OK, but when it starts cutting, it was only going through half the banner at a time (which looked like a feature of the program to avoid tearing), and then everything shifted. This resulted in wrinkles and tears. I've attached photos of...

I'm learning and practicing more each day with our new equipment (SureColor S60600 and Graphtec cutter)... I think I have the basics of setting up CutContour layers, spot colors, making sure my print file isn't too wide for the sample media we were provided, and I've gotten good kiss cuts and...

Please chastise me if this is posted elsewhere... I'm reading that the definition of a perforation cut is when the cutter goes through all the layers of media to cut out the item. What type of cutting would make a "perforation?" I.e., when there is a line of small dots or dashes of cuts so an...

With our new equipment, the idea of printing our own business cards has come up. ...which now brings up a bunch of questions: A. Is it possible to print double-sided for something that small? B. Could I just have our ordinary Canon printer added to Onyx, print to 11 x 17, and then cut them on...

Marcelo was a miracle worker! I'm a newbie at large format printing... I thought it would be easy going from an HP to a new Epson/Graphtec combination, but I was wrong. Tech support by phone only helped so much, having him come back for some intensive coaching made me think in five new...
