Fishing for Buyers
During a recent salmon fishing trip to Sekiu, Washington, I was reminded how similar fishing and searching for buyers can be.
Using the VersaUV LEF-12’s Setting for Automatic Table Height Adjustment
Did you know that the table height on your LEF-12 can be adjusted while printing? Here’s how.
Setting-up your Roland DG for a Mixed Mac & PC Environment
Regardless of whether you use a Mac or PC, network communication between these two platforms can be complicated, much like that of the users themselves.
VersaWorks Step & Repeat Function Makes Creating Patterns Easy
The Step & Repeat feature in VersaWorks allows you to fill a specified area with rows and columns of duplicated images. Each row or column can have its position shifted from the previous duplicates, creating a unique pattern. This feature is perfect for producing wall coverings and textile printing, or any application that involves patterns.
SGIA Roundup
We just wrapped up our big fall show – SGIA – for color, UV, cutter & engraving products. And with the recent introduction of the new Pro4 XR-640 at the center, it looked like it would be a good show. Turns out, it was. With record attendance over 22,000, the show was packed. Not just at the Roland DGA booth, but the whole show seemed to be buzzing with energy. It was as good a show as I’ve seen in some time, and many exhibitors I spoke with at the show echoed the same sentiment. 18%+ of attendees were international. What’s more, some 38% of all attendees were there for the 1st time. What a great first impression they must have had!
Increase the Productivity of your LEF-12 with Custom Fixtures
If you really want to maximize the productivity of your LEF-12, there’s no better way than creating custom fixtures to hold multiple objects on the table. Such fixtures help prevent common mistakes by dramatically reducing the time required to load multiple print objects on the table.
Switch Profiles to Save Specialty Ink
You may ask, “How much metallic silver and white ink is consumed in maintenance on a VS series printer/cutter if not printing with either spot color?” The answer is: “Not as much as you might think”.
Pro 4 on the Brain
We’ve got Pro 4 on the brain these days. It’s hard to think about anything else. We’re eating “4” cookies and “4-ranges” here at the office, tweaking Pro 4 web pages, printing Pro 4 samples, and taking orders as fast as we can among other things.
It’s Epic. It’s Here. Finally.
If you’re in the sign industry, and spending any time on the webby-web, you might have seen some of our teasers about a new “4”-like machine. Well, it’s finally here. The original “Pro” line started in 2002, and has been a part of our flagship of printer/cutters ever since. 10-years later, we’re on the 4th edition. It seems like it’s been a lot longer, and in most technology-circles, that’s a lifetime.
The Olympics Are Over, But The Competition Continues
The 2012 Summer Olympics are officially over, but vivid images of amazing athletes competing for medals are still stuck in my brain in addition to my DVR. This got me thinking about the role competition plays in our lives. It starts early. Moms and dads compete to see that their kids get into the best preschool. Once we’re in school, we compete for grades. That’s often followed by competition to get into band, orchestra, cheer squad or sports. Later, we compete for jobs, promotions and raises. Neighbors compete for who drives the best car, has the greenest lawn or the smartest kids.
