We're having some problems with the ink fumes... how are you coping with it?

good idea

Grimco canada has had a real horrible phone system for months...

Hi guys, For those of you with Caldera, which profiling target do you print? We're using a iPro2 and it is quite tedious. I like profiling the media, we get good grays and good colour matching. In theory the more patches the better, but wondering what most people are doing. Also, does...

Get some 1/8" acrylic rod and glue that? You'll get a good bond with weldon16.

For something like this I think you'd need something super high tack, which will damage on removal. They might have to live with a rigid board put on with velcro, or if they like a fabric look, why not print on intellicoat poly-satin, put a stiffener bar top and bottom, and attach those with...

3 person company doing $150,000/year? That don't add up either. Everyone is going to think differently on this. But I would say that a person working at a small company is worth more to that company than in a bigger shop. If you are small... say 1-5 people... think about how disruptive it...

I don't know. Glass supplier screwed me last minute couldn't make the deadline, so I ordered a piece from local plastics/cnc shop and that's what we ended up with. 1/4" thick, 54" x 33". If that is not common, then that is good to know. I got turned off to acrylic and have used glass for...

Actually, the piece of acrylic had a bow in it before putting it up. I'm not sure if it was bowed when it came in, but after a night in our shop. From now on I use glass for indoor and thicker acrylic for outside.

6 standoffs should be good. In my experience, I did a 4 standoff job with 1/4" acrylic, almost the same size as yours, and it had a bow in it.

You could do them in glass and not worry about the bowing. 1/4" will bow in my experience at that size You can put some standoffs in the middle and use tape on them (i.e. only use the base of the standoff so you don't have bolt and bolt head showing on the front). I would just use your local...

cool product, would love to try

Yes you can see how straight your feed and take up system is by putting a core on both and using a string (or some paper or vinyl) to measure. Make a loop in your string/whatever big enough to loosely fit over the core. Bring it up to the print area and see where it reaches the cut groove or...

With my S30, I would see this. Didn't happen on everything but it did happen often enough that I needed to watch it. It would go a good 50ft before becoming an issue and just a slight tug on the material near the takeup reel (left or right) would straighten it out. So overnight printing was a...

Not to hijack but for paint booths are most sign shops going with a open faced paint booth? Do you build your own or buy kits?

When printing on clear without white, I just do a double strike. For a lot of colours it works out OK.

If you wanted to be real safe on the redo, laminate the 680cr onto some cast vinyl first and then cut and place?

For me, if it's a pylon sign, polycarbonate. A lightbox that is on a building, and not overly big, acrylic.

I have had that problem even with regular vinyl when maybe it was stored improperly and sits high.. There is a setting where you can increase the height of the blade between cutting: Setting The Tool Up Height - Graphtec FC8000 SERIES User Manual [Page 152]

I think the ink bay needs to be replaced. I had that problem when it was still under warranty and they fixed it. Kind of ruined my floor...
