Hi, I would be pleased to quote supply these, will contact off list. Regards Craig

Here's a link to an old article summarising working spaces which may help folk understand the "which cmyk" or "which rgb" question. Regards. Specifying working spaces

Scott, going back to your original post... Your issue isn't about colour spaces. If your monitor is displaying the cmyk make up you mention as a neutral then your monitor is a long way out. In any colour space those values will give you a purple. Get yourself a basic colourimeter or...

I hope you won't mind if i clarify a few things as I think a few of the points are a little unclear. "CMYK and RGB are different gamuts." - No. CMYK are colourants. When you work in Adobe CS you work in a specific CMYK colour space (default is US Web Coated SWOP, but FOGRA39 is more common...

Your file unedited has pixels 7mm square when run 28m wide. Your designer is saying you need pixels 1.7mm square. (your file gives 3.5ppi, your designer says you need 15ppi) Working that very useful formula backwards, 15ppi suggests a viewing distance of 38feet. (presumably before you can...

I always laminate outside posters unless using my solvent machine. BUT assuming your A Board has a clear plastic front panel (eg. Trappa form Ultima, Icon from Plex, or pretty much any other changeable graphic A Frame thinking about it) a good polyprop will suit short term on the 6100. Give Mick...

It's a white film on a clear backing. The roll they give us is unmarked so I don't know what it is but will find out. This roll is only 610mm wide. We solvent print, cut and weed it. How you see it there is how it leaves us. The logos are then peeled off, positioned, and heat pressed on i...

We print digitally onto a heat pressed material a client free issues. I think it's only a narrow roll though. Will find out.

Love the unusual stuff. Right up our street. It's unlikely you'll printed this to acrylic once it's already curved. (I'm assuming you're drape moulding it?) You could try printing it flat and then drape moulding it but the print is likely to distort in the oven. (or worse). I have put...

I can't see any value to increased output resolution in large format print, or even standard printing. These sorts of resolutions might be useful for security work, but no practical use in normal commercial printing springs to mind.

Always remember - you don't design in CMYK or RGB. You design in a specific CMYK or RGB. AdobeCS ships with the NA Prepress Defaults of sRGB and US WebCoated SWOP, but you can change those to whatever you like. (and you should!) It's worth taking some time to understand what they are. FOGRA 27...

I went to FESPA last Friday. Always good to see the nice shiny machines, but highlights for me were a blade on a stick and some fancy laminates. What were your highlights?

Hi, It doesn't sound like you'll be using it in a heavy way and the market is full of budget cutters. Nothing in your message suggests you need a printer. There are budget ones on vinyl cutter | eBay or you might contact Vinyl Cutters | Sign Making Plotters or someone like them if you want...

Use cut vinyl instead?

Sorry to hear that, that's not like him at all. Glad you've found someone that can do it.
