Ok - Ive been down this road - not with those two machines but… Firstly - forget about print resolution - 2400 x 2400 dpi means nothing - the human eye can't even tell the difference between 1200 and 2400 - and very very often the manufacturer claims to print at 2400 x 2400 but all they are...

wow i didn't think of that - yea - hot pink will def mess up perception of colour - When I ask clients sometimes to step outside or stand by a window to look at artwork they look at me weird.

I am unfamiliar with this Mimaki - we have an old Mimaki CJV30-130 - forgive me if it seems if I'm insulting your intelligence - but have you got white ink loaded? And the other question is are you printing a PDF with vector elements - as far as I know you can't change colours in a rasterized...

And - here's my favorite - we do a lot of large format printing - and of course most design students and other business professionals have designed their stuff in photoshop - but because they want the highest quality print possible the save their 36inch wide poster as a 300dpi CMYK file - which...

Ha Ha - just about every young designer fresh out of design school / college or even ones that have been working a few years design their stuff in Photoshop - I cannot fathom it but yip… i hardly ever use Photoshop - and I am a graphic designer - they almost start crying when, like you, I say...

Ja - I agree with D Ink Man - they should have called it digital sculpting or some such thing - 3D Printing is a bit of a lazy name… So I guess we have to all call ourselves 2D-Printer - "Hello… Have you seen our new digital 2D production printer, it is going to revolutionize the 2D...

Ok - let me rather ask some better questions… We have a Xerox D252 - older but probably similar in many ways... How much lighter is the black - a solid cover of black using only black toner will result in a slightly "Light Black" - not a rich dark black - if it is very very light, there is...

Hi Ankedo… Does this happen on most things you print or perhaps only on thick board or gloss? Did this start happening all of a sudden? Someone might have changed the colour profile settings - so you think you are printing an RGB file but the printer is handling it as a CMYK using pure black...

Yes yes!! Sheldon!! Thats it!! This is the most fun I've had in a post in a while!!

Seriously? Just about everything from years gone by used to be a craft - belt making, metalwork, laying of railways etc - hell, even shaving in the morning was considered an art - thanks basically to the massive population and the consequential demands / needs, we now sit with this consumer...

How small is one individual particle of toner in a digital press? how come can't I call "Laser Printing" Nano-Printing? I dunno - Im really clueless when it comes to ink - these discussion has become fun to follow

I wouldn't mind knowing the same thing - I have tried using my Xerox DC250 to simulate dots and angles but it really doesn't work nice

It depends on what you want to print - printing cheap 'n nasty posters with basic text and basic spot colours works fairly well - stay away from gradient fills and photos or textured backgrounds etc - the reason being : much of the ink is absorbed by the paper, so it "bleeds" into the fibers...

We do batches of ten for $40 (excluding design) - we will assemble - double sided tape etc - printed inside and outside. We trim the flaps with no round corners -just a sharp slope - but we only trim after we have scored and put the double sided tape on. Printed inside, outside and on flap -...

be careful - experiment and try many different envelopes that work nice before you offer as a service. Use lick and stick envelopes, not peel and stick. Print face up with flap open, and the flap trailing, the customer size would be whatever size rectangle fits around the envelope shape with...

Greetings, If you mean a laser printer that you buy generic or non-original rollers, toners etc afterwards you might as well forget that idea - they don't work properly and they void your warranty and even you bought the manufacturers toner etc it costs an absolute fortune. Whatever you get -...

You know what? I predict these guys will be back - I've seen this type of thing happen many times, and I've been on both sides, corporate and supplier… Also - I agree - people and companies have become very price sensitive, not thinking through prices properly etc, but like I mentioned in a...

Ha ha!! You could probably get the replacing text right - but I really don't know ANY system that will do the currency conversion also!!

I have been trying something for a while… Business has slowed down a lot and Ive been trying to move our main stream of income to design work and layout - we have good staff for that - but like so many of you say - it means nothing 'cos as soon as the client find out you are charging them to...
