  1. How often is your flatbed or other equipment down?

    Most of our issues have been around the printheads failing or constantly going out of alignment, nozzle dropouts, etc. Of course, we are being told that it's mostly likely due to headstrikes, not swabbing them daily, etc - but we have logs to the contrary. I think we are settling on the fact...

    Our production manager did visit the shop and was impressed, although we too are awaiting some new print samples w/ ink that is supposed to stick better to acrylic. Everything we've seen so far has been impressive though.
  3. How often is your flatbed or other equipment down?

    Seems at first we had regular issues with our FB 700's, but honestly those seem to be running OK over the last couple years. Granted, we have 3 of them now, along with an OCE 660XT so they don't get the use they do when we first started but we still run 'em hard. Not saying they don't...
  4. How often is your flatbed or other equipment down?

    Greetings S101- I posted a thread a while ago about a specific printer, but figured I would modify that query with a little different question. I am trying to get an idea of how often you all have equipment go down? I guess I am most specifically interested in flatbed printers, but the same...
  5. Any other Oce Arizona 660 xt owners?

    We are getting close to our 2 year anniversary with this machine, and am curious to hear other users experiences with it. What inksets do you use? Primary types of media? How often do you run it? I ask because after 2 years of ownership we have had a long series of problems with ours. We run...

    Not yet, I believe our production manager is slated to go out there and visit later this month.

    All great info, thx everyone! Will keep you posted on our thoughts / progress as we visit the factory...

    Nice, are you still under service contract? (I ask because I have heard their prices on parts are outrageous if not under warranty) Do you have local service or do they fly in? Their cost per/sf of ink is pretty attractive - and we've had some pretty quality sample prints sent to us. I think...

    Did you end up getting one? We are contemplating a Mira as well, seems to be a good machine - would love any feedback or input if you did pull the trigger.

  11. Retro Logo Design

    Love it Joe! I would agree with this feedback, not sure that those extra tiny bits of shadow right above the pump handle are necessary, but vers. 1 is solid. It's great seeing the breadth and range of styles you have...
  12. Quick Illustrator Question - Skewed Text

    Hmmm, there definitely was a warp effect applied. Did you try scrolling down in the appearance pallet? Perhaps it was grouped with another object? At any rate glad you got it sorted!
  13. Quick Illustrator Question - Skewed Text

    I think that text was done using a warp effect. you can see by going to your appearance pallet and seeing what effects were applied. you can turn off, increase or decrease the amount of warp, or the type of warp applied. Once you are done, you can then "expand appearance" to get rid of the...
  14. Shout Out To Gino

    Where'd he go?
  15. Everyone is a designer these days

    Yeah, sucks someone paid to have that "designed" but kinda agree, this is a 15 minute re-draw tops.
  16. How much do you pay your shop help?

    Yup. We pay experienced folks between 15-18 depending on skill level and what shift they work.
  17. Need some vinyl printed today 6/9 in Miami, anyone available?

    We have some installers in Miami today doing a project and need one additional piece of vinyl printed and delivered to our install site so we can begin install tonight. Is anyone local in the area able to help us out? Would greatly appreciate the help! Possible? If so, please call me! Chris...
  18. Needed - Flat Bed Printing on MDO

    I actually almost replied to this thread. We have the machines to do it for sure, but as Gino said, we are very gunshy about printing MDO. Unless it'd dead flat it runs the risk of hitting a printhead. Even if the boards are flat, with all the glue in that material, etc there is a risk that the...
  19. A new Logo for input

    Looks too much like a Corel logo, try using Illustrator instead.
  20. guillotine cutter?

    We never bought one, were looking to supplement our zund a while ago for sheeting out goods, etc. Actually ended up buying another zund. Curious though, those that have them - how accurate are your cuts? Any issues with finished pieces that are out of square? Adding that and a laser to to the...
