General Screen Printing / Laminate over pallet tape?
« Last post by farmboygraphics on April 16, 2024, 01:53:03 PM »
This will probably only apply to the shops that also do signs in house, but has anyone ever tried putting laminate over the pallet (transfer) tape?
I'm not sure how well it would hold up to the flash or hold tack. Just a thought I had while printing some hoodies.  ;D
If I remember, I think I'll try it on one board next time I change tape.

Equipment / Re: Work Horse Quartz conveyor dryers... worth it?

def want to go forced air as it is time to take WB ink seriously.

If you are upgrading and planning for growth and even *remotely* considering WB ink, get a gas dryer with the longest tunnel you can fit in that 1600 sq ft. Anything shorter than 12' and you will be pulling your hair out balancing proper cure and production speed. 16' is even better if you plan on an auto.

A decent condition used Sprint (or even a mini Sprint) will spank every electric dryer on the market.

thanks for the heads up! ill check them out.

i guess it comes down to not understanding how the RIP is actually working.

Moral of the story... always make sure everything is converted to outlines. It just blows my mind that the raster data was changed from a vector font being present and not outlined.

You know how you tell your customers to create outlines around their fonts?  Do the same thing.

Object < Flatten Transparency < Click Convert All Text To Outlines < OK.

Tried it, but to do that i need to embed the DCS 2 file, which AI wont allow.




The typeface in the art file that was affected is a raster. The placement label was not converted to an outline.

I manually converted the font and dropped it in the rip. What do you know... its spelled correctly. THANKS!! What is going on here? I get the effect, but im not understanding the cause.
