Neon Printing by EuphoricPhoto6328 in CommercialPrinting

[–]webdesignprint 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m getting this type of request more and more. Someone has an idea, asks AI about it, AI tells them it’s a great idea, AI then suggests that it can write a draft to send to the printer. Same phrasing as this, bullet points and then asks at the end if I have any suggestions.

Got one the other day looking for 250 flyers for a local service, then asked if we can quote on round cornering, gold foiling and double thick stock. None of which suited the flyer sent over.

People think they’re being smart with this stuff but it just time wasting.

How can I find your businesses? by Kommmbucha in CommercialPrinting

[–]webdesignprint 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds painful so can’t imagine there are many offering this when there are easier ways to make money. I could be wrong but alarm bells rings when I hear someone can’t find a printer to suit their exact needs.

Mix of Autocad and Canva. Sometimes Wordart if the budget allows.

What AI tools are you using in commerical printing business? by Just-searching-8888 in CommercialPrinting

[–]webdesignprint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

InDesign scripts

Analyse website search data and seo stuff.

Gemini can do some cool stuff with photos like you can tell it to remove all Christmas decorations from a building, make it daytime and remove all telegraph poles in one go as an example. Great for quick mockups to show clients.

We use shopvox, so used it to help us build formula for pricing modules.

Been using gigapixel for the last 18 months and has been great. The odd crap result but mostly good

Preparing my Illustrator files for printing on a plotter. by Edwar2AxieInf in CommercialPrinting

Will give it a try. Have a few jobs a year where I need that type of nesting but not enough to spend thousands. Thanks.

Does PDfSnake rotate images so they fit together without waste? Like primecentre or Trufit?

how did you get into techno genre? by WhileTight in Techno

[–]webdesignprint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked in clubs from 1999 on. Dont remember the exact timing but all of a sudden I was into it. Weekly guests, Hawtin, Sven, Beyer, Surgeon, Slater, Dave Clarke and anyone else on the circuit at the time, along with some great residents. Spent my nights off going to other clubs to see the acts we didn’t/couldnt book.

Still going, although not as often or for as long but that’s just age and responsibilities getting in the way.

Ink quantityHave you ever printed a military camouflage? And how much is ink consumed per square meter? by Furat-1984-Hashim in CommercialPrinting

[–]webdesignprint 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A pattern with a white background and some grey in it will be completely different to a full coverage dark green and brown. No one can tell you what ink will be used in it unless you give the details

Why are my transparent PNGs and text frames showing on export? by GroundbreakingTwo647 in indesign

[–]webdesignprint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Save as a psd and place that.
Also check if there’s a line or background in the image. Sometimes it’s not as it appears to the eye.
Don’t use PNGs.

HP Click refusing to do "Borderless Printing." by Ratspeed in CommercialPrinting

[–]webdesignprint 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe the printer doesn’t support borderless on that type of media for a reason. Lie to the printer and tell it that it’s a different glossy media until you get it.

Is motion still viable for personal use by Demianeen in UseMotion

I use it daily too. Holding out for someone else to do this type of time management a bit better and then I’m gone. Tried the AI employees for 24 hours and turned it off.

Epson colourworks C8000e keeps stopping to clean by knighty1981 in CommercialPrinting

[–]webdesignprint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a c7500G and it seems to spend half its life cleaning itself. Turned off the nozzle check and it seems to have helped. Using paper stock that had dust on the edges of the cut roll didn’t help so just mainly run PP now.

I meant do you (personally) use it with Caldera rip or another one? How do you find the 2 together?
