  1. File server question

    I trust cloud over local anyday. If you get ransomware, chances are they hit your Nas as well since your account has access to all the files. You can set it up so it backs up to a folder with no access... But still! With how cheap cloud is, no reason not to have it too
  2. File server question

    Did you guys enable Port trunking to get 2 GB instead of 1? I had to disable mine because the NAS CPU is weak... but my nas is half the specs of yours, so it should work and make it way faster. It's more of a load balancing...so if 2 people are accessing it at once, it'll use 1 port for each...
  3. Need Help Graphtec uneven perf cut

    3m vinyl is one of the best for perf cutting... But anything that stabs material will lift it up when with the blade a bit. That's why I bought 4 extra pinch rollers and use 6... Cheap blades are great for perf cutting. Are you using a CE6000... or 6000 plus? Do you have a channel to cut...
  4. Employee side business

    every situation is different. Not everyone will have the kinda relationship our boss has with us, I get that. But counter argument - I still get sent to tons of training. I got sent to management training, I got sent to all 3 3m vit courses...ppf courses, I've been to Dinoc coursess... In Feb...
  5. Smallest Desktop Solvent/Latex Vinyl Printer?

    If you have a few printers you use less than once a week... I don't think you should look into buying yet another printer that will be used once or twice a week. How far away is this second location? Why not wait 2-3 days, build up the jobs, print them all at once rather than print one decal...
  6. Need Help Graphtec uneven perf cut

    Watch your cutter as it cuts - my guess is the one side is lifting up as it's cutting. I find adding more pinch wheels gives you a good perf cut because it'll hold the material down.. especially if you're perf cutting with a pounce, I find using a normal cut pattern vs an up/down pounce leaves...
  7. Employee side business

    Let me ask you - Whats your fear if they moon light? That they'll become a competitor, that they'll leave faster, and you'll have to hire someone else? Employees owe employers nothing - Think about it... Whens the last time you gave your employee a $5,10 raise? The only way to get ahead is...
  8. Cheap Bulk Stickers - 100 Stickers for $7 ??

    I bought a pack once just to see the quality. They were definately perf cut... You could see the frayed edges. With the laser cutting you can usually see a slight burn mark. Labor in china is cheap .. were talking under a buck an hour. You can buy a roll of vinyl from china for $20 - so...
  9. Putting Gloss Overlays on a Matte finish Wrap...Suggestions??

    Are you using 8520? We overlay on it a lot without issues... If its flat, or semi curved you'll be ok. If you're going into a big recess... it doesnt hurt to primer it. Heck... if you know where the strip is going, you can use Masking / knifeless tape and then primer everywhere the stripe...
  10. Smallest Desktop Solvent/Latex Vinyl Printer?

    I waste maybe 6" on media on my R5070 everytime I print. The ink cost of a BN20, or foil of a Gerber... not to mention specialty cut media... It doesnt matter if you waste 5 FT of vinyl, I'm sure with a wide format you'd still be coming out ahead in terms of cost. Not to mention how slow the...
  11. Discussion Onyx X22

    Every version has glitches. I pointed out a glitch since onyx 12... And it's still not fixed. I finally found out why my queue had "tearing" in it when looking through the preview window though... Onyx does not like 4K And scaling at 150%, which is windows default. I changed it to 145% And...
  12. Personalized stickers

    Pitchprint + Woocommerce... Or if you have your own site, you can API it... but I'm thinking you dont. https://wp.demo.pitchprint.io/product/right-to-left-text/ Heres a demo. You can lock them into only adding certain text. It's between $50 and $200 a month... but you cant customize it too...
  13. Epson Surecolor R5070 resin printer

    I get that. Mines in my un-controlled garage - in the summer its said it was too hot... I kept printing, worried I was breaking it or putting unnecessary tear on it - but I had my garage opened a crack and I blew a fan into my house on one side...and then out of the garage on the other to...
  14. Personalized stickers

    Custom built one, cost is around 15-20k to get something similar.
  15. HP Latex 800 upgrade to Canon Colorado 1650

    3x latex printers vs 1 Colorado? So you're using 3x the heads and now your head price just skyrocketed. .you also have to have 3x the consumables on hand.... Load 3 rolls of material, so the labor is more... 3x the wear and tear, 3x the power requirements...3x the space.... Well, 2ish times...
  16. Epson Surecolor R5070 resin printer

    I've had zero banding on the printer. And no - it's never stopped mid print on me - I was told that currently it doesn't do cleanings while printing... And that's why it "can" band. But that in a future firmware that'd be changed. I've done a few full rolls, and no banding at all.
  17. Epson Surecolor R5070 resin printer

    I've printed a full roll and it was fine. It needs cleanings every few hours or it'll apparently start to band ... I've done full rolls that took 4 hours and it was ok. Our rep also told us the only.issue he knows of with the machine is you can't do long prints... You have to send half a roll...
  18. Epson Surecolor R5070 resin printer

    Curious on the temp changes. What are you experiencing with it? Mines in my garage - it's winter time now so getting really cold. I keep the room heated with a radiant heater, so it still gets pretty cold.... Haven't had an issue with it yet. Colors still match, no length issues,. Etc... So...
  19. Oracal 970RA 908 - Aluminum Needed ASAP

    https://www.rvinyl.com/ORACAL-970RA-Aluminum-908-Premium-Wrapping-Cast-Film Rvinyl seems to have it in stock - Have you tried ngantz? Looks like its a discontinued color... So most vendors likely aren't going to have it... just old stock.
  20. Logistics! Anyone know of a good software that handles jobs / installs / scheduling etc....

    We just use outlook calander. Everyone has it on their PC, and it's shared. So any sales rep can do a quick look and see when we're busy and then if they think we can squeeze something in they come and ask us to schedule the install. Super easy to organize
