  1. gerber plotter HS 15 / non plus /

    Going to be hard to find much info on that old of a plotter, most of that knowledge base is lost to time. You can probably find a used plotter for parts on ebay, probably cheaper than buying a mainboard. We still run HS15+ plotters here and maintain them ourselves, but we don't deal with circuit...
  2. FastSigns and Signs365 and Gemini

    Everyone has customers who get "special pricing". Every industry, including this one. I'm sure you pay a lot different price on certain materials from places like Fellers/Grimco/etc than others on here do and you never even knew it. The more you buy the more you can negotiate your pricing with...
  3. s80600 getting ink smudges on the right side of printouts

    On the media profile you have chosen in the printer, turn down the heat in that area and the prefeed area.
  4. Looking at the Epson SureColor S60600

    Do a demo at your local dealer's between the two models. A 60600 will blow it out of the water with speed and your customers will be more than fine with the color. We print mostly wraps and have no issues matching colors. The extra speed allows you to get it printed faster, so it can start...
  5. Looking at the Epson SureColor S60600

    Get it. We have two and will be adding a third soon enough once one of the older 70600 series printers die. Stick with dual CMYK, they fly and the colors will last. The Non-CMYK colors will fade and you'll hardly ever need white or silver inks. You can outsource that if you need it. We print...
  6. How do you categorize and/or organized your samples?

    If you have a consistent workflow and specific color profiles, then it should be easy to note which color profile/setting/printer you used for the sample. Just put that in an excel sheet or write it on the order. We cut the printer settings notes off the job after it is printed and apply it to...
  7. New Graphtec 9000 Not Ready to go Out of the Box!

    Call Trigon Imaging 513-965-6116 and ask for Eric. He knows these things inside and out. Our new one is running GREAT with Onyx and barcodes.
  8. Back-ordered materials- what are you having trouble finding?

    Just ran into an issue procuring cast window perf material. Going with 3 year warranted calendered for now. :(
  9. 3D Printer for Braille?

    Braille signs have to be ADA compliant, and the "tactile" pieces of the ADA sign are meant to be touched repeatedly by those needing the braiile, so the braille should be done with a certain material (beads) that are made to be touched repetitively and not be rough on the (sensitive) fingers...
  10. Free Stuff For Y'all

    Attached is a Ford Econoline Shuttle Bus template, 10% scale. Enjoy!
  11. No Cast Wrap Film?

    We ordered 20 rolls of 3M 180c in within the past week from Grimco, was able to even score some 48" rolls. It's out there, but you have to call everyone to find it.
  12. Epson Surecolor R5070 resin printer

    I am a big fan of the 60600 series, but honestly I would wait until 2nd generation on anyone's technology. The "resin" isn't much different from the "latex", but with it being new tech I would still not trust it for long-term without proof. I still do not see it listed as a 3M MCS approved...
  13. Vinyl on stainless steel Tesla

    3M Makes a vinyl specifically for stainless steel - 180SLS. We use it on trailer stainless rear panels.
  14. Gerber Envision X axis encoder fail

    I've had to replace the sensor for that on an EnVision 375 plotter before, they can go bad.
  15. How would you deal with a low res logo file?

    We quote the amount of hours it will take to recreate the artwork, most customers miraculously find it after that. If not, they pay for the rebuild. However, on jobs like fleet wraps we can usually just include it in the design fee if it is a simple logo/design.
  16. Back-ordered materials- what are you having trouble finding?

    It seems to come in waves. Had issues getting a lot of materials the past few months but have always managed to get it, especially if you were able to buy 10-20 rolls at a time. Right now our issue is 3M cast laminates. Haven't had an order for a couple months for magnets, but hear they're...
  17. Interesting scam email

    I'm not sure if said apartment "position" involves pirates or porn, it could go both ways...

  20. FC-8600 Help needed!

    Is it talking the correct language (HGPL, etc)? I had an old 8600 a while back and occasionally it would change the language it was communicating through and took me forever to figure out what was wrong with it the first time.
