i like the sign / print shop managing topics. As everyone has a different way of business, Here's my take... There really is no 1 solution to fit all businesses. There's a number of solutions out there, and heaps of people use them. Often not, there's complaints about "software should do this...

im going to do a wild guess that a profile is corrupt. and running 2 of these machines, sure at some point you'd be creating your own profiles?

Really? i never though about doing that.. What are the drawbacks ?

You need to have the kisscut and thrucut named cut paths (whatever you call it) set properly in you file. In onyx cut centre, you need to set up the paths (bottom right) I forget the name as I'm not at the computer. You'll have one called kisscut named exactly as your cut path, and another...

you'll never find software today without bugs. Onyx has been crashing for me for 10 years...

that's what batching is for. Batch the 2 jobs, put one in zone A and the other in zone B Start in zone B first. and that will print both jobs

I don't mind subscription. Yes, you never truly own the software, but it allows the company to get more revenue, which means they get to further invest into the software. more, sooner updates. And what i like, is if you find another software, you can cancel, it and jump ship. I also...

There keeping the perpetual licence. they may introduce a subscription.

I think it depends on the look of your shop. Since ours is a warehouse in an industrial area, people are less inclined to walk in. We're appointment only also. In your case, have a sign "appointment only" At our old place, we'd get people walking into the warehouse, rather than the office. It...

Workflows for specific tasks can be like Always use these tools, we should do this task during these times, because of this reason. Here's a general layout of a process for your whole day (keeping in mind, this is very general) Get to work, switch all machines, let warm up. check emails, get...

By having systems and processes in place. People may laugh at this for a 1 man show, but if you follow a system, it helps. if you ever hire again, you have something in place already. have workflows set up for each product you do. follow those workflows. Don't be afraid to invest in software...

The simplest way i can explain it: the ICC profile is the colour look up table for your RIP to understand which CMYK values your printer needs to hit the colours in the artwork. The media profile is your whole printer & media calibration. This includes ink restrictions, ink limits, print...

Seriously? didn't know that!

you dont want to cut viny with a laser. a, it has fumes b, it'll leave white borders/melted edge.

That's a good amount of volume to justify the Colorado. It's the best wide format on the market. As long as you know the limitations of UV inks. Although the uvgel is a lot more stretch vs normal UV. You'll be using it on Onyx or caldera. I wouldn't be using it on Flexi. All canon techs...

Well the mat will get messy. then you need to vacuum it clean, which gets harder with aluminium shavings. When you remove the mat, there's chances the aluminium will make it to the belt. Honesty, you should get a demo. It will really tell you if it's the machine for you. Out of all the...

No, there's a sacrificial mat you put on top of the belt. If you see the videos. The belt is grey, the mat is green. This protects the belt from getting damages by the router. You put it on for routing. Which means, you cannot use the belt to unload the sheets like you would for coropast etc.

The table is very flat on the colex. It's actually milled by the machine itself. (kind of) They attach a gantry to it and mill it flat and mill the vacuum channels. But if its mostly aluminium, id still go towards a cnc. not that the colex can't do it, its just messier and harder to clean on a...
