Are you talking about normal Aluminium or Aluminium composite?
If it's aluminium (not composite) i would be looking at the shop sabre pro. Not that the colex can't do it, it's more the fact you're doing a lot of volume and that would suite a proper router.
The colex can do the job, but the...
create a blank file with the same size in both Ai and Ps and see if it does that.
then i'd check your quickset you're using. could be importing it and resizing the height only.
Throw them in the bin.
honestly. just in case for what? they need more? They'll pay and receive more. what if there's a slight revision?
besides, they appreciate having spares.
i do when i order high quantities.
& nothing frustrates me more when i order 1000 of something. i get 1000 and 10 in...
Seriously, you keeps 1's and 2's of extras?
Give them to the customer.
We'll print 1 of something, and give the customer more if there is extra space in the area.
If it's small die cut stickers, and they want 100, but to fill up the row it's 120. they get 120 unless 1 or 2 get ruined.
oh trust me, there's no alternatives for some of the stuff that are just win and mac drivers :( I actively look. - I do have multiple ubuntu desktop VMs just to test things out.
Apart from using Caldera, my other hardware wont work.
E.g All my Barberi equipment.
Enfocus pitstop pro, pitstop...
This to me has always been a neat idea. And as there has been some topics on it lately, i'd love to compile a list of useful software one could use to run a small Print / Design shop.
Email Client:
-Thunderbird - has come a long way
Word processing:
- LibreOffice
Design software:
(Raster)

I did mean Windows & Mac, i forgot to add that :p
It really does depend on the shop size, software you run, hardware etc.
I tried to entertain running stuff on ubuntu. it was just pointless.
I even tried to put my laptop on ubuntu. so much software i depend on needs windows. and it's a hard...
To use Linux to run 90% of printing & designing software, you're going to have a hard time.
I've been down there and tried it.
Adobe is windows only. Using Wine or a VM inside linux will be useless and not optimised.
Now this is what i'd do..
format the machine. and install Proxmox. -...
Welcome fellow Aussie :D
Trying to gauge what you're after.
Sounds like you're looking for an all in 1 solution? production system, invoicing, etc?
or want to have seperate software for each that can talk to eachother?
Are you taking orders from an ecommerce site? or all email?
Pretty sure this is a bug with onyx 22 or 22.5.
Because i have the same issue. just need to manually rotate the jobs. annoying but the way onyx goes about their updates. i wouldn't hold my breath of it getting fixed till x24. (which is suppose to be a sizable update)
It's usually because the white is only calibrated to some extent, and not the same as CMYK.
print a circle and a square. 50mm x 50mm or near.
put a white Spot1 to print under it.
either use a vector or do it in illustrator.
See if the white bleeds.
Nice to haves rather than a need to have. If your summa isn't bottlenecked, there's no real point in upgrading. save your money.
focus on removing bottlenecks rather than buying stuff :p
What aspect are you looking to upgrade?
Most flatbed cutters do the same job. only difference is how it interacts with the tools, and the router of course.
I've seen the summa, went for an all day demo.
But i bought the colex.
Summa has some nice to haves like when putting tools in, it...
Better than the metal ones.
No rust.
And you can recycle the banner with the plastic grommets.
Have to remove the metal ones to recycle the banner.
They also look better
