Good luck! Gray is a notorious for showing any flaw in file rip issues and printer issues. And your adding white into the mix so it's hard to isolate where the true problem is. I'd rasterize as others have said and try that first. Then try without white and see if it's white causing the issue...

I might use this idea for the circle since it's a pain trying to get it in the right orientation. What kind of studs/pegs do you actually use? Are you saying your surface route a 1/16 or so of the entire letter into the backer? I like this idea for a one off, I'm just not sure I want to do...

I was trying to avoid routing any type of tape adhesive just due to all the buildup that it can cause. That is a good idea though to kiss-cut inside the letters and maybe i could weed out all the excess and then route. I had thought about using PVC cement but I'm worried about bleed out since...

Hi Everyone, I have to glue 320ea, 10" high, 19mm thick PVC letters to a 13mm PVC backer. I would normally use 2-sided foam tape but I'm looking for a more efficient option. Would you recommend using a spray adhesive such as 3M 77 Multi-Purpose Spray Adhesive or 3M 90 Hi-Strength Spray...

We've had a liquid laminator for the last 15 years. If your looking for outdoor longevity, it really only adds 1-2 years to the already expected life span of the inks on that specific material. Coating is really more of a short term, inexpensive aesthetics solution and for non-critical pieces...

Do you have any kind of recirculation pumps between the reservoirs and printheads as well as from the reservoir to the tank? Have they stopped working? White ink is notorious for coagulating if not kept in motion.

That's cool. How much do you actually bevel it?

We don't use the backer, we just use white ink. If we were going to do it though, I would apply it to the whole sheet and then route. I agree that it's annoying trying to apply it after and then trim out the edges and holes. I agree that acrylic is sharp when routed. So do you only break the...

Good luck with your job! 1) Do you cut blanks and then print to them versus nesting on 51x100 sheet? For this many we would nest on a full sheet and route after. Should have plenty of room for registration marks. 2) What diameter bit do you use to cut the acrylic? Do you return for a 2nd pass...

THIS DRIVES ME NUTS! Dumb play on numbers. Its like grocery shopping and two brands side by side use different units of measure and then you're trying to figure out which is the better deal.

Midwest seems to have plenty. Don't go crazy please. They also have 55 gallon drums.

We bought ours through Pacific Office Automation in December of 2018 which is the largest distributor of Canon Products. (Not necessarily wide format, but all of the commercial printers.) I don't really think that would be considered early adopters. I'm glad we at least waited until the 3rd...

I agree 100%! That is what happened to us. We were promised all kinds of firmware upgrades/updates and got nothing....but you can buy a new printer...! Some of them released with the 1650. What problems are you having? I'll let you know if the 1650 actually fixed them. In all reality, some of...

Dang your getting a little better price than I am. I'm paying $132.50/liter. I'm not positive what Canon direct was but I believe they are $155 and another distributor quoted me $145. I was only paying $108 for the 356B (1640 ink).

No it's more money per liter. I don't know about everywhere but every distributor that I've contacted, including Canon, it's been more. And yes, it uses more ink. But not necessarily when printing. It wastes a ton more with maintenance. I've been through about 3 liters of waste ink since I...

Also, FYI for everyone 1650 ink is about %20 more than 1640 ink.

Nope. If someone else could make a machine comparable to the Colorado I would rather not be a Canon customer. We've wanted a small format UV printer with the speed like the Colorado for years. The only way to get the speed of the Colorado with a UV printer is to go 3 meter. Didn't really want...

We had the 1640 for a year and just changed it out to the 1650. Ink is so much better. No more cracking or brittleness issues. That being said, I don't think a would wrap a car with it even though they say you can. We haven't particular loved the matte mode. The colors are soooo dull and...

Unfortunately, you can't add any information in the bleed area. The last time Onyx was at my shop I asked about that and they said it's been a frequent feature request. Hopefully they will add it soon.

We just did the upgrade for the 1kw Router. I wanted the 3.6 for that very purpose but it was almost double to do the upgrade to the 3.6kw because of all the changes that need to happen.
