  1. Onyx Thrive and Colex Marks

    Where would I find that option? My Sharpcut is from 2015 and I have CCC8 installed.
  2. Onyx Thrive and Colex Marks

    Is there any documentation to guide the optimizing of Colex and Onys working together? I overhear our Colex cutting out 25 graphics one at a time because prepress added dots for a 1-up print and my wide format operators nested and printed multiples of the file.
  3. EFI H1625 Error 1273: Ink overflow?

    Thanks a bunch for coming back to add some feedback. That will be important to the next person who trips up on this problem.
  4. What is the best equipment for cutting Palight Premium PVC foam and .080 aluminum sheets?

    Look into Colex flatbed cutters for a budget, durable alternative to Zund. We love ours and it's 10 years old.
  5. Best protection for ACM outdoor signs?

    Any idea on the lifespan of those prints? We're printing on an HP R1000 direct to ACM. Client is asking about outdoor weather resistence.
  6. Discussion I've owned an HP R1000 since April 2019, ask me anything

    Great point. When we had a flurry of service issues outside of warranty, the tech gave me a heads up that we were approaching the white service interval, which would be about $8k. I passed that straight along to our VP of Production. We do now have a service agreement in place, so I should...
  7. NJ 3D Printing

    Why not carve the whole thing? I'd be afraid of long term performace of the 3d printed eagle outdoors.
  8. Self-marketing opportunity?

    Thankfully we can use signage intended to help patrons "locate a business" so that would cover a sign including our name, address, website, phone number.
  9. Self-marketing opportunity?

    Our target audience is CMOs, Art Directors, Purchasing Managers, and others who need print or other communications work. We do commercial printing, wide format printing, warehousing, screen printing, and non-print work like online portals, marketing support, professional photography, and we...
  10. Self-marketing opportunity?

    My thinking on that is train riders may work for a place that needs printing. Our neighbors in the $750k townhomes nearby may own companies or work in marketing departments where our services would be needed. There's a street running parallel to the large facade and perpendicular to rail line...
  11. Self-marketing opportunity?

    I've posted something along these lines before, but I'll present it a different way. Our building is situated right next to a light rail line, with excellent exposure. I've lobbied for 20+ years that we should use the side of the building (we have two building, actually) for self-promotion...
  12. The annual question...how was business this year?

    I'm not the owner, but I bought the books "Profit First" and "Fix this Next" and still need to read them.
  13. Info needed on routing HDU

    How's the HDU sign business? I've had a couple of sample pieces from Corafoam for over a year that I've not tested yes. I need sample art.
  14. Wrap removal

    HOW? And isn't it amazing that people are hungry in America yet we can find $1B to fund a LOSING campaign!
  15. TX install needed Baytown Texas

    We use a good outfit called Advantage Innovations. They've installed for us, coast to coast, from wall murals to locker wraps.
