  1. Printing On High Visibility Reflective

    I have seen people print on the Reflexite sheeting with success. I'd bet you could with a solvent printer.
  2. Gerber Omega Lagging?

    It seemed to help my computer somewhat, but it had good & bad days before this.... The other computer running the exact same setup is still lagging a lot with no change, so it might not have helped. Also, there are SOME files on your local computer that are. prm files that you do not want to...
  3. flex led

    Neon Engineering sells that. I haven't played with it much but seems pretty similar to the LED strips besides a couple things.
  4. flex led

    Do you have an example of the flex led you're looking for? With LED lighting we normally use SuperBrightLEDs.com or NeonEngineering.com for products. Grimco also has some nice power supplies, but their selection otherwise is mainly for cabinet signs.
  5. Temperature too hot

    We've had the ambient temperature hotter than what is set in the control panel for heating, and a Mimaki printer be upset that the temperature is too hot. Normally it would let you just proceed after confirmation but we would have to increase the heater settings to make it auto-start printing...
  6. Gerber Omega Lagging?

    It actually seems to have helped!
  7. Gerber Omega Lagging?

    I just deleted 15,000 .PRM files spanning the last 29 years! We keep everything on a server so the files aren't local. I can count on 1 hand the number of times I've imported an image into Omega so I'm betting it isn't that. I'll report back if the mass-deletion helps!
  8. Need Help Onyx 10 Color Management and Profiles problem

    We use the newest version of Onyx and keep it current with a contract. If you upgrade, be sure your machines have profiles available. With the newest Onyx one of our older Mimaki plotters is no longer supported.
  9. Do you charge no-show fees?

    We are developing new software for our business and this problem is definitely going to be included in the build. No shows create a real problem in a busy shop. We will be sending confirmation emails on their install appointments, and if they don't confirm the install it'll get moved back.
  10. Need Help Onyx 10 Color Management and Profiles problem

    You need to work this problem out backwards. Get someone in there to create a good custom color profile for your machine & Onyx. That way every time you print you get the same nice colors. A lot of the canned profiles can be way off, a couple hours spent on a tech to profile it is well worth...
  11. Vehicle Templates & Wrap Print Shops

    FWIW, there are regular wraps, and then there are "seamless wraps". Setting up a wrap to print "seamlessly" takes more time to setup and material to print; if they're expecting it to be seamless, then they should be paying more. Seaming along the door pillars are common areas if they're wanting...
  12. Gerber Omega Lagging?

    Anyone else experiencing lagging in Gerber Omega recently? We are running Windows 10pro and running Gerber Omega 6.5 and for the last couple of months it has been running really slowly some days. I notice it mostly when sending to Omega Plot, or actually sending it to plot. Everything else is...
  13. Vehicle Templates & Wrap Print Shops

    We use ProVehicleOutlines and their templates are pretty good. It's kinda pricey at a yearly rate, but we download multiple templates per day so it averages out VERY cheap per vehicle overall. I've been using it for around 15 years now with only a few oddball templates ever giving me issues...
  14. Rush Fees

    Yes, if you're not charging rush fees and you don't have minimum order pricing you're not doing it right. It's those piddly little jobs that eat your time, and most of the time once the client hears of the rush fee the project isn't as much of a rush anymore.
  15. Help with Gerber GS-15 Plus

    One thing not mentioned here yet is the little springs that hold down the bailing arms. They can weaken over time and those don't apply enough pressure.
  16. Suggestions Airplane graphics

    Probably depends a lot on what type of airplane. year/make/model/etc and be sure you're NOT covering any sensors. Only use premium Cast vinyl.
  17. Is anyone running this railroad?

    IDK who runs the railroad, but some people need a visit to the train station.
  18. Looking for supplier for .08 Aluminum Signs with simple perimeter contour cut (no inside cuts)

    FWIW, You're not going to get a one-off routed piece for less than half that at many places.
  19. Epson Surecolor s40600 | Replacement Shield

    We always leave ours up and have never had any issue.
  20. Need help finding storage container

    We store our "ready to install" jobs in the heavy duty cardboard tubes that banners come in. (cut in half). We also have a couple larger shelving units that we custom built to store flat graphics in that area.
