  1. Just as I was ready to buy EcoSolvant here comes Latex

    Get the 60600 and don't look back.Hardly any maintenance every couple weeks. Immediate printing, no wasted material. No head replacement/degradation. Lightning fast.
  2. Epson S80600

    (In Onyx) After the file is ripped you can right click on it in the hold que and go to Edit > Printer Settings. In this window you can adjust passes/density and more. It takes some playing with it and some profiles allow more adjustment than others, so it might take a couple tests to see what...
  3. Bright Colors Epson s80600

    We keep those decals on our work orders. The installers log the VIN of every vehicle we do on their installation sheet for that vehicle. You can't trust a "unit number" as those sometimes get reassigned as vehicles leave/enter the fleet. The VIN gets entered into our system as part of the...
  4. Bright Colors Epson s80600

    We print the job label every time, using small text. We cut one of these off of every run and attach it to the job order form. Then, if we ever have to reprint a panel (damaged/wrecked vehicle) or they order another print to match we know for certain what printer/preset was used.
  5. How do you handle "forgot to tell you" mid project

    In dealing with entities like this, they are used to receiving (multiple) change orders, so your price revision due to an unforeseen stipulation should be no big deal to them.
  6. White ink on Epson s80600

    Depending on your RIP, there are quite a few different ways/speeds to run the white ink at. At first we only ran it on some super slow stock profile, but you can change the passes, etc in the RIP settings and it is about twice as slow as a normal print. One head can print the white and the other...
  7. White ink on Epson s80600

    Epson White on IJ680CR-10 Reflective wrap.
  8. White ink on Epson s80600

    White is as opaque as white ink can be. Which isn't that opaque, more like a translucent white vinyl. Even white print vinyl needs a gray backer/adhesive to be a block-out vinyl. It DOES 100% knock-out reflective though, FWIW. Attachments: Epson White Ink on 3M 8150 Clear Vinyl with 3M...
  9. How do you handle "forgot to tell you" mid project

    We do some work for similar industries, never had them do a site visit to our office, but I know it takes the guys quite a while to get through check-in every time they arrive for install jobs. Lots of tedious paperwork/trail for every little decal also, but not that bad. NDAs will probably...
  10. Onyx resizing files

    Yes, we run into this occasionally here also as most of our prints are tiled. We just ALWAYS check the size is 100% before printing.
  11. Suggestions Printable Reflective & NFPA 1901?

    NFPA 1901 covers both the sides and rear of fire apparatus. IJ680 is NOT compliant for rear chevron use, only on the apparatus sides (striping, etc). HOWEVER, many fire departments still use printed 680. 3M and Oracal both make printable reflective that meet the standards for the apparatus...
  12. Epson metallic color setup

    We have the silver ink option in our s70675. If you only print silver in an area it can look neat, but using it under/over colors just makes it darker to me also. I don't think it is useful at all unless you run decals that would requires spot silver. We replaced our cartridge with the cleaner...
  13. Need Help Applying vinyl logos to fluted glass doors

    I would recommend a vinyl like 3M 480 and using a rolley-pro to install it.
  14. graphtec 8600-130 weirdest contour cut issue ever

    I had a graphtec and it started cutting crazy one day similar to this; it turned out that it somehow had changed the "language" on the plotter. I think I had to reset it to HGPL or something like that? Sorry, it's been a few years.
  15. Professional Development: Who's doing it, and how?

    I am a fan of ever ongoing personal development, not just "professional development". A lot of the time is is learning a new skill that has absolutely nothing to do with business, but keeps the brain learning new things / ways to think about things.
  16. Signla, Mimaki, win 10

    Is it running through the firewire card still? If so the firewire card is recommended to be a Texas Instruments firewire card.
  17. Need Help Help me find a better printing solution

    I think you just need to attend some training from Gerber and stick with the Edge. You might also need a different printer. Some Edges print better (and more consistent) than others. We print a LOT of lexedge here and some of our printers print better than others for different materials and...
  18. Arlon vinyls

    We use the DPF8000 a lot for aggressive decals and it performs well. I have used it for wraps in the past, but not for years now.
  19. what PANTONE / PMS color guide to use?

    We give out the specific charts for our printers to our color conscious customers to help them select the best spot color from what our printer actually prints. For instance we had a customer recently specify the use of Pantone 460. 460 Prints a MUCH flatter non vibrant color off of our printer...
  20. what PANTONE / PMS color guide to use?

    It is a color bridge out of your specific printer. It was provided to us when we purchased a version of a RIP. It says "Simulations of PMS colors" along the top. The fine print at the bottom states it cannot be sold or misrepresented as a genuine Pantone certified product. This was given out...
