  1. Interviewing and testing

    I would make sure they understanding scaling. We hired a college graduate who had a decent eye for design but didn't even understand the concept of scaling. We asked her to design a 30'x5' banner and she got it all done and it was at 227" x 60" since illustrator wouldn't let her design it any...
  2. Need Help Printing Design with Many Hi-Res Photos

    Interesting. Here is what onyx is ripping to at about the 4'x7' size.
  3. Need Help Printing Design with Many Hi-Res Photos

    I wouldn't consider 87mb enormous. We regularly run 500mb plus files with no problem. Granted, we run Onyx Thrive but I could rip 6 files at the same time at the size with no problem and i have a 6 year old computer with only 6gb of ram. Something is up with the file. Do what the others have...
  4. 10yr Old Wrap Removal Suggestions

    Does it have to come off? Why not just wrap over the top. Tons of trucks we do have 2 plus layers of vinyl.
  5. Question Océ Arizona VS Agfa Anapurna

    Just got this email! Lol NOTHING is truly a great thing!
  6. Need Help Graphtec stopped working due to static shock, HELP!!

    Yep done that before on my Graphtec FC7000. Main board went out. Turns out the power plug ground wasn't properly grounded.
  7. Question Océ Arizona VS Agfa Anapurna

    I owned a Arizona 660xt for a couple of years. I also own an AGFA Jeti 1224 HDC and an AGFA Jeti Titan HS. These are the bigger brothers to both the machines your looking at. From a production/usability/operator standpoint, if the software on the annapurna is similar to the Jeti's, I'd pick...
  8. Best drill bit for coroplast

    Is this thicker than 6mm coro? We don't pre-drill for this thickness and less. Both hand punches and the automatic puncher go right through it. We do for 10mm coro though and the grommet covers all the burs anyway.
  9. how can i get my cnc to cut leave less jagged edges when cutting foam?

    Most likely problem. I also use this bit and have for the last 4 years strictly on gatorfoam. It still cuts clean, well except two-sided prints,the tip is slightly wore out after 4 years. I have a Zund so the spindle runs at a higher rpm. I run at 50k and 12ips. So if you were to drop that...
  10. Monitor for RIP and Design?

    I wouldn't go 4K either. Onyx doesn't have scaling support. I'm running windows 7 so if your running windows 10 it might work better. Also, I have yet to get job editor to display the correct colors even when the monitor is calibrated. Outside of job editor it looks fine. I'm probably missing...
  11. Handy little pricing book?

    I'm curious how you do this. Do you ask everyone where they live if they call in or is this mostly done through sales people?
  12. Looking for Beta Sites!

    I'm in Ogden Utah. I sent you a PM with my phone number and email.
  13. Service Key for Oce Arizona 550 / Fiji Advance HS

    You'll probably have to go to one of the classes in order for them to give that to you. I think it's like $1,800 and a couple days of training. Annoying thing about those machines. One of the many reasons we don not have our Arizona 660XT anymore.
  14. White flood coat help

    I'd do it one of three ways. 1. Print direct and then back with white vinyl on a laminator. I wouldn't do it by hand, unless you don't have that option. 2. Print on clear vinyl as Tim said and apply to acrylic with laminator. 1/2" Acrylic is expensive and if something happens midway through...
  15. printing onto aluminum - whats your machine?

    We have been direct printing to ACM for 12 years so we have actually been able to see the longevity of many different ways. Which ACM can make a difference too. I didn't read anyone mention sign direction and sometimes it's not always possible to know but I ask whether or not the sign is...
  16. Suggestions New Shop Equipment

    Cutting Edge Finishing Solutions Here is a good article on CNC Routers and Cutters.
  17. What is a more proper description?

    Proper way is WxH. Look at new document creation in both Illustrator and Photoshop. Width is first then height. Also, Onyx lists wxh, as well as my job ordering software. But, that being said, when someone wants an 8'w x 4'h, they'll almost always says 4x8 since its more natural to put the...
  18. onyx 12 Postershop and cut server

    I use Illustrator cc 2015.3 (Latest Release before CC 2017). I actually use Cutting Master 2 (Which shouldn't technically work but i just moved some files around and made it work) because I don't really like Cutting Master 3. Graphtec America: Supports/Downloads - Cutting Plotters -...
  19. onyx 12 Postershop and cut server

    Use Cutting Master plugin for Illustrator. It may be a Graphtec only plugin though. What type of cutter do you have?
