  1. Question No room for cut marks on most boards, Workaround suggestions?

    I have presets setup in Onyx that can put dots only the the top and bottom and left and right that helps maximize sheet size. I also use oversized sheets when available like styrene, ACM and PVC. I also have preset templates for items like 18x24 and 24x36 and send just the print file over...
  2. Mutoh Valuecut Double Lines When Contour Cutting

    One thing to try, make sure the stroke line is on the center of the line. If you put the stroke on the inside or outside, some rips will read that as a double line. Onyx does that and it expands the stroke and cuts both lines.
  3. Old Font ID

    Thank you! Between that and Sucrose those work great!
  4. Old Font ID

    I'm not sure if something like this even exists because it was before my time, but thought I'd throw it out there. This is probably form the 1950's since the company closed in 1970. The C is the most unique aspect and I might just have to find something close and create the C. Already ran it...
  5. Automatic Banner Script for Illu

    Here is the basic concept. (PDF saved with Preserve Illustrator Editing Capabilities so if you open in Illustrator each page will be on it's own artboard.)
  6. Automatic Banner Script for Illu

    I just might buy that nesting pack! That's totally worth it.
  7. Automatic Banner Script for Illu

    This is cool! Although I don't use it for banners since Onyx does all of that for us, is there a way to change this to put .5" dots 1" on center in corners and then add a dot and distribute if it's over 36"? I tried messing it with it a little but everything is metric and I think i'm missing a...
  8. Retro coloring making a comeback?

    Well the magic runs in the family so maybe it missed the magic touch. :roflmao:

  11. Font Match

    Ran through Fontspring Matcherator. Super close to Hedley New and Sana Sans but not quite right. Customer doesn't have the vector of their own logo.... so trying to find it before recreating their logo. Thanks!

  13. Colorado Owners

    We had the 1640 and only went through 2 maintenance trays per year. Very comparable to the other machines waste usage. (Unless you're comparing the Arizona Series Flatbeds which wastes ink like the 1650 does) Then we got the 1650 and it was going through it in 3 weeks! We called and submitted a...
  14. Kiss Cut on a Zund/Summa/Kongsberg

    There are multiple factors that contribute to getting the kiss-cut tool to work well. 1. Level Bed - Since you just bought it, was the bed fully leveled? Not just the machine but they go under the table at different locations with a tool on the carriage to make sure every point is level. 2...
  15. Colorado 1650 black back media

    You could use a white print leader just to get it started and then it doesn't matter what they back color is.
  16. cloud -ish print on foamboard

    Overspray/Static or it's actually in your file and you can't see it on the screen but it amplifies on the print. Even a 1 1 1 1 on cmyk will put dots in white.
  17. Discussion Onyx X22

    Looks like they might have some nice features! Bummer my 3 year contract expired 2 days ago. One thing though. SIMPLIFY.....THE.......PRINT VIDEO......PROCESS o_O That was a little busy.
  18. Onyx Conserve media not conserving media

    I agree. They layout tool is clunky and hasn't been updated in years.
  19. Kala Mistral 1650

    You could try Jim at Advanced Print and Finishing. That is who we bought ours from. https://www.advancedpft.com/laminate
  20. Need a Printing Partner with Flexible Ink for Thermoforming :)

    I have heard the HP Latex R1000 works well for thermoforming. Maybe find someone that has one of those. That being said, I don't think I've seen a wholesaler yet that has one of those machines. Not really a wholesaler preferred machine.
