  1. Logo Design

    This is both hilarious and scary. Mind sharing what type of AI you're using for these? Not to get too side-tracked (or is it too late for that?) but how do rights/copyrights work for AI-generated logos?
  2. Looking for a suppler that uses UV ink only for Pole banners

    Incorrect. UV does fade and will do so faster than most solvent inks. I'd say your customer has been misinformed.
  3. Solvent smell on Epson S80600L's

    We have (1) S60600 in a 2500 sqft shop, and when printing heavy coverage/long runs I can taste the ink in the upstairs office, which is almost completely sealed off from the production area. That's with lots of ceiling fans going and an air scrubber beside the printer.
  4. Colour profiling and calibration

    Contacting X-rite might be a good start like you mentioned, see if they have anyone they would recommend. You could also talk to ND Graphics, we had Wissam (from ND) come to our shop for 2 days and help us build some profiles w/ our i1 in Onyx. We ended up spending/wasting almost a full day...

  6. Summa F serie

    This is the first time I've heard this before. Is there a document outlining what should be checked/maintained?
  7. Any Canadians have experience hiring immigrants?

    You could always give these guys a call: https://cdnvisa.com/ They're a customer of ours, I'm pretty sure this is something they do. (Not a plug, just first company that came to mind)

  9. ONYX - add 10mm white + black outline?

    I'm not near our RIP station but you SHOULD be able to achieve this. Add 10mm "bleed" and set it to white. Add trimlines and set to bleed area or something along those lines. That should work.
  10. For everyone thinking of purchasing a Summa, specifically F1612, don't.

    Yeah, same here. We've run all day vinyl cut jobs and it will work fine for most of the day then just start dropping jobs halfway through. Blew one slot on our board a few months back then finally blew the second one just before the holidays. Board wasn't terribly expensive or hard to...
  11. Colorado or not

    Does indeed sound really interesting at that price point/size. I wonder if they have distributors up in Canada.
  12. News Save $ on JetBest Ink

    Haven't people learned yet, that if it's too good to be true..................... 3rd party ink is cheap as it is. You're focusing on the wrong end of the equation.
  13. The longer I'm in this business the more I believe that nobody who runs for office should be allowed to have the job.

    How true/sad is that. Can't say I've ever come across a politician I liked or trusted, in either US or Canada.
  14. _

    Sorry to hear about losing your big contracts, I feel for you guys. We lost our biggest customer when covid hit and they decided to bring production in house. (Not blaming them, or covid. Just a business decision they made) Our sales were way down during covid (mostly as a result of losing our...

    Oh man what a train wreck. Even with all the back-peddling and deleted posts, that was still a brutal read. To the OP - if you're struggling so much with your sales, time to find a new product/market. You're selling copyright decal kits at a "non-profit" rate - what do you expect, seriously...
  16. Replacement Printer

    Good point, reliability and access to support is a huge consideration. We bought our Oce Arizona 10 years ago, sight unseen and knowing there weren't any techs anywhere near us and that they would have to fly out to service the machine. In that 10 years, we've never had to fly out a tech other...
  17. Need Help Mimaki UCJV300-160 - White ink spill

    The printer was installed 3.5 years ago, so definitely not recently. I've already received and approved a quote from our dealer to replace both pump assemblies - they recommended changing both while they're at it to avoid the second one going in the near future. Pretty common apparently as...
  18. Replacement Printer

    We like our Epson S60600. You won't find a straight answer to the question "what is the most popular printer", everyone has their favorites and reasons why. Personally I wouldn't touch HP products with a ten foot pole, but that's just me.
  19. Yellow Ink issues

    Agreed. Looks like ink isn't curing/drying properly at first glance.
  20. Need Help Mimaki UCJV300-160 - White ink spill

    Came in this morning to find a nice puddle of white ink under the printer. We noticed a few small drips on Friday but it's obviously gotten worse over the weekend. I popped the back cover off to find some more large puddles and white ink all over the place. Any ideas what this part is and if...
