  1. Selling our flatbed cutter - looking at new Zund or kongsberg

    How to Justify $200,000? We had the same thought when looking at the Zund, but now were not sure how we did it without it. It's true, its not a money making machine like a printer is, but we did a $200,000 job all in house right after we bought it because everything with the job had a shape to...
  2. 3M Frosted Crystal Masking

    Does anyone know what type of masking works with 3M Frosted Crystal Vinyl. All the high tac masking I've tried doesn't pull the Frosted Crystal of the backing, you have to bend it and work it to get it off. You also can't see the lettering after masking. Has anyone had any luck with a masking...
  3. RIP for GS6000

    GS6000 Profiles You should also be able to downloaded really good profiles through Epson that they do themselves with Onyx. If not, I'm sure someone on the forum would send you a profile since poster shop can't make profiles.
  4. Selling our flatbed cutter - looking at new Zund or kongsberg

    Zund G3 L2500 We bought our Zund at the first of the year and we can't figure out what we did without it! We cut hairline on almost all of our flatbed work and it's almost always perfect. I also love the 2 slots, sometimes I wish we could have 3 UCT's but for most of the time 2 is good. For...
  5. RIP for GS6000

    Onyx If you don't have Onyx yet I would definitely dive into that. We started with a graphtec print&cut using Flexi and we like Onyx way better! +1 on the Cutting Master plug-in for Illustrator, works great! Jeremy
  6. Zund Router and Cutting Help

    Hey Everyone, We've recently bought a ZUND L2500 Cutter and I was wondering if some of the more experienced Zund operators could help me out with a couple of things. First: I'm trying to find a good router bit for ePanel/DIBOND. I've been using the R114 & R116 but they don't last very...
  7. Onyx Layout Tool question

    You've probably seen this, but just throwing it out there. Make sure your minimum Spacing between Images is set to zero. Its on the Page Tools Tab- Layout tab. On the left hand side of my screenshot. I'm not familiar with Layout tool but I did find this. Hope it works. I'm glad I don't have...
  8. Zund Conveyor Belt Cut Into

    It's nice to know that were not the only ones that have issues with techs and machine installs. But don't you think that when you buy a $200,000 machine and they separate out that you're paying $5000 for training, that your trainer should know what he is doing?
  9. Onyx Layout Tool question

    Do the CET machines not have a nesting program on the machine itself. I just send over one 18x24 to my AGFA 1224 HDC and then nest it at the printer. We also print on 18x24 blanks. I believe the CET machine is a true flatbed right? Can you not do it that way?
  10. Zund Conveyor Belt Cut Into

    Zund Cutter Mat The technician that did the install used super tacky duct tape to tape the back side of the belt and then used epoxy to seal the 1/8" gap on the front side. The guy that trained us screwed up and was messing with the POT unit and cut all the way through our mat, broke the bit...
  11. The cure for cheap Real Estate Agents

    Yah, I agree! Why do real estate agents bicker about price so much. They want to pay like 20 bucks for a sign they'll put in front of a million dollar house that they get 3% on! Oh, and they want it to last 10 years.
  12. Jeti 3150x2 Lamp 1 error

    Talk to Steve Thomas about what they did to my printer. I had a bad connection (J22 I believe but don't hold me to it) on the LCM Board and my lamps would constantly go on and off, sometimes not got to ready, turn off in the middle of print, etc. Took 6 months to find the problem, but I...
  13. Any UV Flatbed printer suggestions?

    AGFA Jeti Line 1224 HDC I currently have 2 of the Jeti Printers. Rock Solid Machines. My 1224 HDC prints production speed all day a little over 500 sq/ft per hour at 480x1200 dpi. My older Jeti I've had for over 5 years and it still runs on a weekly basis. Let me know if you want any more...
  14. Just ordered Signvox! Transition????

    I transitioned to SignVOX about a month ago. Let me know if you have any questions, I could probably help you out with the nitty gritty of it. It took me about 3 weeks to get all my pricing and figure out how everything worked from job flow to integrating with quickbooks!
  15. Need a new computer!!

    Signburst is a little Pricey I think Signburst is good in that they cater to sign industry, and I like they way they setup their computers, components and all, but their prices are about $1000 more when compared side by side to the design machines that I had custom built at a local computer...
  16. Flat bed fun

    Man! I've always wanted to print on a door! Was it personal or an actual job? Did you print it Uni or Bi-Directional?
  17. Flat bed fun

    Agfa 1224 hdc No, its the AGFA 1224 HDC. Much faster than any of the Anapurna series and built like a tank. It was from the Gandi Innovations buy out, and then AGFA did a little redesigning and improvements. It is awesome! I print most of my products on 4 pass at 532 sq ft/hr, about 3 minutes...

    A Few More An old 4ft saw blade. A Longboard. A Corkboard
  19. Flat bed fun

    Thought I'd add a few things I've printed on my flatbed!
  20. Spectra SE/SM print heads

    SE to SM Conversion Hi, I know this is old but why did you change from SE to SM Spectra heads. I'm thinking about changing from SM to SE. Is there a drawback to the 30 picoliter SE head over the 50 picoliter SM head. Thanks Jeremy
