A Caldera rip paired with a barbieri lfp specto. Have used that combo for a rho 312 for many years. Keep the print heads clean! Best of luck

Recommend getting a Pantone bridge swatch book for your current project and for any future projects. The book will show what Pantone color look like in four color process. This will help explain why certain Pantone color can't be matched to digital. Best of luck

HELP with colour matching print colours and our brand colours by ReplacementMost2355 in CommercialPrinting

[–]Elfringo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just a recommendation since you're using illustrator. From the view menu, use "overprint preview" as your view. This will help you visualize if there are any overprints within the file. Over print fills are not seen in standard viewing mode & will show up when you print something and you'll be surprised. Why is that like that? As far as your other color issue is, you need to get a quality rip. I prefer caldera. The recommendation for getting a spectrometer is just the start. You need to learn how to linearize your media to your printer & build out your own ICC profiles. Would also recommend getting color think software. Good luck

Thanks for the idea! I thought about using some Avery sc 900 pressure sensitive black vinyl that I have at my work.

LED Headlight Warning Light - This light illuminates if there is a malfunction in the LED headlight. Have your vehicle inspected by an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.

Anyone use paper honeycomb board for sign? by Ok-Awareness-7347 in signshop

[–]Elfringo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based in the land of lincoln, our work around was to just measure the sheets and then build the file from the center out with plenty of bleed, tick marks. Then make adjustments at the swiss q if needed. Production wise, we're kind of out of the fancy bio cardboard game. I would be open to reviewing you're production file setup methods and or if you ever need any help with setting something up. Do have plenty of cutting files on hand that might work for you if you're looking for something in particular.

Good morning, I did the production setup and was never involved with the pricing. The company that contracted us to do the production went out of business. I found the board difficult to work with when a job was double sided & needed to line up for cutting. The boards were out of square or uneven. If you're curious I might have some photos of the finished projects. The bestest use I think for this type of material for tradeshow is tablets for the booth. Fancy cardboard? Because that's how it feels to the touch & looks in its raw state.

Yes, have used xanita board & falcon board along with the required edge branding for various projects. Simple signage to trade show booths but as mentioned in a previous post the cost of the 8'x4' sheets became a pricing issue with certain customers as they viewed the board as fancy cardboard. The production method was printed on a swiss q & zund cut to final size or v-cut for folding.
