  1. File server question

    A Nas will be slower than a PC. They're more energy efficient though. The cpu in your windows 7 pc is probably better than a Nas... We use one and while it works good, there are slow downs when too many people are using it and it's running it's backup / sync tasks. So now we're converting our...
  2. Moving from Onyx to Flexi

    You can use inside crop marks in onyx. We setup all our artwork with crops in illustrator, I don't believe onyx adds bleed and stuff to crops... Cm and onyx canceling eachother out is annoying. Flexi / come are both made by Sai, so they should work together better at least. Flexi isn't...
  3. Delam issues with Avery 1105 1360/1460

    Isn't it the overcoat / scratching that's added into the ink that's the issue, not the optimizer? The optimiser is what makes the ink stick to the media. I know on the new latex printers you can turn overcoat off if you're laminating to make overlam stick better... Makes it really scratchable...
  4. Moving from Onyx to Flexi

    Why do you want to switch? Ive used Flexi and onyx, I paid 3k to get rid of Flexi on my home server because I hated it. Were forced to use flexi for traffic at work, and that's the only time we open it. Onyx workflow is just easier and better. A big part of it is yes, because you're used...
  5. Gassing out Eco solv printed media.

    All kinds of paint - oil based actually takes longer to dry. https://www.glidden.com/advice/how-long-does-paint-take-to-dry-cure#:~:text=Paint%20Drying%20Times%20and%20Factors&text=Oil%2Dbased%20paint%20%2D%20dry%20to,safely%20recoat%20in%204%20hours. We do in house metal fab, when we dip our...
  6. Magnet alternative for aluminum bodies

    Unless he's going out on his own...pretty sure he worked for gsns digital and they've been liquidating all their vinyls. There are other idotmvendors. Neschen makes one and mactsc makes one as well
  7. Magnet alternative for aluminum bodies

    Bigfish no longer deals in media... Gansdigital is getting out of the media business, everything is super cheap to buy right now though!
  8. Gassing out Eco solv printed media.

    Offgassing is a term used in lots of areas... Some just call it differently. Sherwin Williams uses offgassing - while most other paint shops call it "cured". You can do a second coat of paint in a 8-24 hours when the paint is dry to the touch... But every can of paint says you can't wash the...
  9. Gassing out Eco solv printed media.

    I think the argument is dumb. Latex sells a ton of machines because of their instant lamination. Why on earth would Epson / Roland / Mimaki / everyone else gimp their sales by saying you need to wait xx hours if you didn't? There is zero benefit to them telling you that their ink needs time...
  10. Gassing out Eco solv printed media.

    Drytac polar, an air egress high tac vinyl. The part I pushed back the glue feels gummy, and while there is air... If you pop the bubble the vinyl won't lay down, it's like it lost it's stickyness. We've printed since but stuff on the material and it's fine too, so unless there was a bad 15...
  11. Gassing out Eco solv printed media.

    Nope, we only wet install frosted. The only difference is that was printed at lunch time, the other 20ish windows were printed the night before. The material didn't even leave the printer. Both windows that were reprinted are bubbling, not just in one spot either.... The whole window is...
  12. Gassing out Eco solv printed media.

    People always say don't worry about it and needing to offgas is a myth.... Despite the printer manufacturers telling you to offgas themselves. One of latexs biggest selling points is instant lamination.... If you could do that with solvents, you can sure bet one manufacturer would come out and...
  13. Question Graphtec vs Summa for sheets of stickers/which has a "better" workflow using only rasterlink?

    Been awhile since I uploaded a video... Here it is doing the kiss cut over the channel...Then doing the Perf cut over the channel... no need to change the tools or cut into the strip at all. This one is an easy rectangle, then a perf cut rectangle with rounded corners - Doing...
  14. Question Graphtec vs Summa for sheets of stickers/which has a "better" workflow using only rasterlink?

    Just pointing out with my graphtec, Ive never had to change the strip and I do rolls of vinyl every week... :p I've never changed a summa strip -but if it only takes a few minutes, thats not too bad. Our operator always cuts too deep on my work graphtec - And we change the strip often on that...
  15. Question What kind of vinyl for heavy machinery decals and WHERE do I buy it??

    I never understood the thought process of using a high tac, or a thick overlam on heavy duty machinery. When you have a 5000 LB machine brush up against a rock, or building, or anything else really... It doesnt matter if you laminate the thing with polycarb, its going to scratch and get...
  16. Paneling a 20'x12' sign

    Double sided tape. 1" In each corner... Tape it down once its aligned then you can move it wherever you want without the vinyl moving.... We found thats the best way when doing 4x8 panel alignments... So long as you tape it down flat, its always been perfect.
  17. need to calibrate hp l335 after changing ink level sensor

    I mean, you can start with the section "how to get into service mode" since that seems to be what you're having issues with? It's very simple... And if you're having issues following instructions on how to do that... You probably shouldn't be playing in those menus as you can do more harm...
  18. Roland vs Epson for wall murals

    Resin printer is pretty much a latex printer... Just epsons version. Water based, and uses "resins" that get left behind when the water evaporates. Its a bit better quality than the latex printers, but aside from that it's hard to tell the difference between the 2 print wise. It acts and...
  19. Line added in CorelDraw when Exporting Cutline PDF for Roland VersaWorks

    Goto what Coreldraw calls wire frame mode (?) And see if theres a hidden line there you cant see under the color in the original file. The PDF looks like a mess - My guess is its from some POD pack that someone auto traced a ton of stuff in bulk.... So it has a ton of stray lines / points and...

    Can you upload the PDF so we can take a look at it?
