The cuter will take a job with 4 decals, cut and do everything it's supposed to. When I send the same job with 48 decals I get a "AAS FILE COMMAND ERROR"

I am experiencing this exact same problem right now. I have my Value Cut 600 attached with a Serial to USB adapter. It worked for a few days but now I just get a file error when I send the cut file. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

We have a UJF3042 Hg and were told that we would need to switch from the LH100 inks to the LH120 flexible inks. The cure on the white layer makes it rigid. This is because of the titanium in the white.

Same thing here. You'll never be able to lay enough white down to make that work.

Never say "Yes" on the phone with an unsolicited sales call. They snip out the "yes" and try and bill you. The worst ones have pre-approved billing rights on your phone bill. They are the toughest to remove and since AT&T or Verizon get a kickback there is little interest from your phone...

The only font I have feelings for is the cool one on the bottom of a client's check when they pay their invoice. "Beauty is in the eye of the checkbook holder."

Eco Solvent inks from STS are running great in my Mutoh Value Jet and Mimaki UJF-3042. Half the price of OEM.

Any time you restructure a compensation schedule there will be pushback. Be prepared to lose a rep or two. You mention that you came from a corporate background. It is just this type of thinking that created a toxic culture in corporations. This type of "spreadsheet management" lets...

Pay depends on the market but make sure you give him some equity. Skin in the game is a great motivator. You could also bonus equity based on profitability or sales targets.

I just had a Windows 10 update knock out the software for our YAG laser. Get a great computer and set up a couple of virtual machines with older versions of windows. That way you can always have a stable backup OS.

That optional attachment is not adjustable and only suitable for cylinders. Anything tapered and you have to build a jig.

We have a Mimaki UJF-3042 that we bought for this reason. Unfortunately we didn't do the research on how long the printing takes and what the ink costs. If we got an order from a brewery it would take us an entire day to do 100 glasses or bottles. Then you look at the price per piece compared...
