I would prefer to keep it inside illustrator for convenience and speed. And I can have some things with alot of details or group that I will prefer to keep in the nesting like point and accent in letters.
For my prints I use Caldera that has the nesting function but I can't output the result for my laser. This why I need it to be done inside illustrator.
That is exactly the point, I do not have 100k$ to buy a flatbed. I need to buy something ALOT cheaper for now. Sure, if I had the 100k$, I would buy a flatbed right now. But that is not the case. I need something below 30k$ ideally.
I don't ment the colex won't do the job. Just I can't afford it right now. For certain jobs like longer panels, the xy will be faster. So when I'll buy a flatbed, I will keep the xy for those jobs.
Colex is on top of my list with esko. Just can't afford it for now. And for what I'm looking to do right now, the digitrim or xy cutter will be faster.
I've looked at mirua and they seems pretty descent. I just wish they had the auto square like fotoba. We do lots of small quantity, so cutting in two passes for the xy is interesting to us. I also found two Chinese machine with good feedback. But again, no auto square.
Flatbed will be my next...
Oh! Don't worry. I'm looking at fotoba cutters for quite some time. It's just a matter of budget. I would buy a XLA in a heartbeat if I could afford it.
I use a window tint squeegee. Just need to wet the surface to make it glide. I use the same tool for frosted vinyl without premask. It push the water behind the film alot better than any other squeegee.
I've bought this machine around 5 years ago to make labels for HVAC and electrical company to put on machines outdoor. The thermal technology is the most durable I've found (even with todays technology). Since it take 15in wide roll and the print speed is amassing (if you print 1 color), it was...
I have a Gerber edge II printer, envision vinyl cutter and omega 6.0 (with dongle) that I would like to sell. I also have around 24 foils cassettes. The vinyl cutter need service because I have a connection error code (I'm using my summa cutter). But the printer is still perfect. How much could...
Do you have any ''challenge'' with it like the pressure because it's with two numbs, feeding it, etc.? I really like it, but if it take 15min every time to setup, I will look into another model.
