  1. Choosing a Dust Collector

    Yup! You can buy the knockoff for like $20-40 and just screw / tape it into any barrel if you already have a barrel though. If you're doing aluminum, it gets pretty heavy, so I'm not sure how the cardboard type barrels would hold up...
  2. Choosing a Dust Collector

    Buy a 2 HP dust collector and by a dust deputy and connect it to that. We use it and run our CNC 8 hours a day.... The harbor freight dust collector is actually really good. We've been through 2 though.... 1 died after 3 years, 8 hours everyday use.. the second died within a year because our...
  3. Onyx 24 issue BEWARE!

    Hah... Good luck! It Took 2 major releases for my bug. I had an issue since onyx 21. If you had a cut file where you added bleed via onyx.... It would cut off by however much bleed you added. Or if you added bleed then automatically added cut marks it'd do the same thing. I emailed them...
  4. Onyx 24 issue BEWARE!

    I thought about that and tried that. However it wasn't nesting, or at least it would not rotate to make use of most of the media... Print is individual jobs was taking up an extra 30 ft of material. Print individual is how I do a lot of stuff at work on our solvent printer because it doesn't...
  5. Metallic Decals

    If you have white ink printing on metallic vinyl is a good option, you can put white behind anything you don't want to be metallic and it'll make it opaque. Rtape has a few different metallic option
  6. Onyx 24 issue BEWARE!

    Really feeling it tonight! I have 950" of Decals to print... 15 different decals, between 50-100 of each. Cant just tell it to print 8 FT sheets and hit print... Nope... have to split the 15 files up into 8 FT at a time... and hit print once by one. So now My printers heaters are turning...
  7. Two installs of onyx go+ on same license?

    Don't you have a server? The dongle doesnt need to be on a computer with the software running... You could put it on a server, or just plug it into a cheap $50 computer and keep it on all the time. The new thrive is now dongleless... it's nice as you dont have to worry about that issue (I...
  8. Two installs of onyx go+ on same license?

    I don't believe onyx go allows this... You'll need a perpetual license on onyx thrive. Onyx thrive gives you 4 rips... you can limit it to 2, and then install it on 2 computers, so each computer has "2 rips at once" kind of. Thats over simplifying it... but Thrive allows it, and go /...
  9. Can anyone re-create this whole image?

    You guys are very picky with logos. It's a lawn sign company... Not a graphic design company, their moto is "I want your grass"... Do you expect picasso level artwork? :roflmao: I don't think a logo has to be perfect...especially if its for some small business, but the artwork is stolen...
  10. Onyx 24 issue BEWARE!

    Since we're fixing bugs... I've had a bug since onyx 22 thats still there in 24... On The Epson resin printer, if you load a media and then click get media info / size, onyx will crash. Then when you re-open it... itll get it perfectly fine without crashing. Happens every single media load...
  11. Onyx 24 issue BEWARE!

    It's not the submit pages individually option, I have that one done and I never have an issue with it. Maybe if you don't have a check there's another issue though .. If you tell Onyx your page size is 54 inch by 12 in, then you print 310 in by 50-in tackles so it sends it as three different...
  12. 3M 8508 alternative

    8048 isn't discontinued, it's just not a commonly stocked item... But Grimco can bring it in for you. I like the gloss level of 8048... Its glossier than 8508 is, And it has zero "slivering / Matting" on it. Theres a few people on here who use it exclusively with IJ35/40... Hundreds of rolls...
  13. 3M 8508 alternative

    We hate 8508, even before the change... and Ive heard with the change its more of a matte as well, I expect 3M will see a drop in 8508 sales. IJ35 is a calander... why is grimco recommending a cast?! Wrapcast is nice, however I wouldn't use it on IJ35.... Or for realtor signs. Their...
  14. Suggestions Graphtec Non-OEM suppliers (Chinese) for perf cut stickers

    Buy off AliExpress or eBay... Or Amazon. You can get the Chinese blades for under $1 on amazon... About 50 cents if you buy 100 + from AliExpress.... 75ish from eBay. They're cheap enough that buying from Amazon is 1/20 of the price, and you get them in a day vs waiting months from China directly.
  15. Suggestions Rush fees

    Theres a guy who always goes to trade shows to sell his stuff. He asked me 2 weeks ago how long it'd take to get 2 banner stands, 2 banners, and 2 tabletop banner stands done... I told him I dont stock the table top, so it's 3-5 business days... if he confirms quantity I will order them in to...
  16. Onyx 24 issue BEWARE!

    I've run into this bug a few times too... kind of surprised they havent fixed it yet. I do A LOT of decals, And with a Latex printer its a pain in the ass having it print 4-6 FT, Stop...re-warm itself up, print 4-6 FT...stop...re-warm itself... etc, so "Print by job" doesn't work for me. I...
  17. Cable Wall Systems for photos

    We've bought and installed them in a premium outlet shop - They hang in every stores windows... Theyre great. The wall ones are awesome, but I'd stay away from the floor ones... Half of the floor ones we installed are broken because they ram merchandise / displays into the windows... hit them...
  18. Changeable Translucent Alternatives to 3M IJ63-20?

    You first job isn't translucent I hope.... Translucent printing is a different beast than printing regularly. Whiue IJ3630-20 is technically a permanent product... we use it all the time as a removable. We print dozens of small map pieces on acyrlic with it that get changed out everytime a...

    A lot of people seem afraid to lose a customer.... If it's a huge customer, I get it. But even then... if the customer is always putting in rush's and slowing down your production for everyone else, you're pissing off other customers to meet this customers needs... stressing you, and your...
