  1. AUTOMATION and WORKFLOW

    Is the bottleneck on communication/workflow in the departments, or is it machine capacity? I've never known those laminating tables to be actually good or efficient, and having 3 r2r printers and only 1 r2r laminator/plotter sounds a bit off. I would look at more efficient...
  2. All of a sudden it says now heating. I have to hit pause to start printing.

    What temp is it set to? I remember a real long time ago we had a Mimaki JV3 that had a similar issue, and the cause was that the room temp was higher than what the printer was looking for. It couldn't cool itself down to reach the desired temp so it kept waiting to print. Once we figured it out...
  3. Need Help Print huge wine bottle label for corrugated water tank on farm

    Go ahead with that test install; sounds like it has horizontal corrugations... And let me know how soon you decide that you're installing a piece of flat polymetal onto it. FWIW, you could just take a piece of tape and go over 1 corrugation tip to tip and measure the length (stretched back out)...
  4. Black Snap Frame Materials?

    I need to purchase some Black Aluminum Snap Edge Frame Material. I contacted & quoted through Outwater Industries, and they said they had plenty on-hand in stock. I placed an order last week for 34 qty 8ft sticks (and all hardware) so I can make 30 qty frames. Received a call today that they...
  5. COMPUTER CUT CHROME

    We have used the Avery Chrome wrap vinyl for cut lettering with good success for years.
  6. Anyone tried/heard of retrofitting a Roland BN20/A so it can print magnetic materials?

    We tried and tried printing magnets for one of our largest customers, and the biggest challenges we eventually ran into were the weight of the roll, and the quality of the material. Even when you printed smaller rolls there was always quality issues with the surface coating. Eventually we came...
  7. How would you make these table style signs?

    Printed or just engraved signs? If just engraving (2-color) these, you could use a product called King ColorCore.
  8. Graphtec FC9000 Changing Conditions?

    No, the values within the one condition only (none of the rest) were completely changed to other values. After we went in and changed them back to what they were supposed to be for that condition everything has been fine again since then.
  9. Graphtec FC9000 Changing Conditions?

    It isn't even doing that much. The settings are to use what the Graphtec is set to "currently" when each roll is loaded onto each plotter. As they load the rolls on the plotters and put them on the take-up reels and find the first barcode they check to verify that the correct condition is...
  10. Graphtec FC9000 Changing Conditions?

    We have never used the CM plugin, we use our Graphtecs primarily with Onyx and barcodes.
  11. Graphtec FC9000 Changing Conditions?

    Yes, we have 6 different conditions that we use here, and they're all set up the same on all of our Graphtec plotters. They all stay the same and no one would ever have a reason to mess with them. The only 3 employees who messed with it on Wednesday/Monday all wouldn't have changed the settings...
  12. Graphtec FC9000 Changing Conditions?

    We have been running our Graphtec FC9000 plotters for a while now, and when they're working great everyone loves them, but every now and then they just seem to do wacky stuff... Today we noticed that everything we plotted on one of them yesterday wasn't cut deep enough (not cut at all) and...
  13. Where Do I Get Vinyls That Look Have Abalone Shell, Pearl, Beautiful Colored Minerals Printed?

    3M DiNoc is going to be your best source for vinyls that appear to be other surfaces.
  14. Credit Card Stolen Number, how did it happen?

    Even "cell towers" can be catching/leaking your information. https://www.efani.com/blog/how-to-protect-your-mobile-from-fake-tower-attacks
  15. Printing A Color Swatch Table For Reference.

    Another very important point to mention when printing these old Pantone charts that used to come with the RIP software is that they were built using very old color values and software (2017 mentioned above). If you are going to print them off for useful reference, you need to open the file you...
  16. Where can I donate a Mutoh Valuejet 1304?

    Definitely worth more in parts than as a whole. Main boards and other pricey repair parts are always hot items on ebay.
  17. Where can I donate a Mutoh Valuejet 1304?

    Might as well part it out to the major expensive components on ebay. Otherwise, good luck finding someone who knows about them to take it in as a donation. If they don't know how to maintain it, have a rip to run it, etc, it'll go bad and then end up in the dumpster in a couple months.
  18. Thrive

    We couldn't see any real advantage of upgrading from regular Onyx to Thrive at our place unless we added a lot more printers. We have three printers currently printing through Onyx, and subscribe to the Onyx Advantage yearly plan for unlimited upgrades as they roll out.
  19. OH Freestanding Lighted Channel Letters

    Thank you, I reached out and they confirmed they can create these for us!
  20. OH Freestanding Lighted Channel Letters

    Have a customer looking for what I describe as freestanding (mounted atop a retaining wall) lighted channel letters, around 4' high letters. Kind of similar to attached image. Would like to buy from US vendor, the closer to Cincinnati, OH the better.
