  1. EFI 1625 LED, is it worth purchasing used?

    Do not do it. We just nearly gave one away during our upgrade to new machine. Replacement Coolant pumps cost $800. They fail. Printheads cost $4000. They fail. The final straw for us was the -2nd- time a printbhead control board failed. We paid $10,000 for a replacement, ONCE. When it failed...
  2. How to Enlarge shutterstock images for large wall murals

    Gigapixel is magic! We're going to add that to our toolbox. The output was amazing.
  3. How to Enlarge shutterstock images for large wall murals

    The challenge is that our client wants to use their own image, not a stock image.
  4. How to Enlarge shutterstock images for large wall murals

    Well, we're after a 240" x 120" print area using the attached file. A wallpaper size showed the crop zone after choosing the final dimension, so I'm attaching a PNG with the area of the image I chose for output. My email is lreed@abcoinc.com. I appreciate the help!
  5. How to Enlarge shutterstock images for large wall murals

    Thanks for the quick reply. We have a client with his own star photography to be enlarged to 240x120" and the file was 4mb. I need to give them some pointers or resources.
  6. How to Enlarge shutterstock images for large wall murals

    What tips can you share for either selecting or preparing images? We have a 240 x 120 wall and the client's starry sky image isn't good. I need to give them appropriate direction.
  7. Discussion I've owned an HP R1000 since April 2019, ask me anything

    It's a giant leap over our 2015 EFI which was getting more expensive to maintain: $800 coolant pumps, $4,000 print heads....the $11,500 print replacement of two circuit boards is where we drew the line. Also, our morning startups were getting longer and longer, teasing out good nozzle checks. It...
  8. Discussion I've owned an HP R1000 since April 2019, ask me anything

    Full circle, we've now replaced our EFI H1625 LED with the R1000, which complements our Latex 570. Loving it so far.
  9. Cutter marks out of Onyx for tiled graphics?

    Thanks. I'll check this out in the morning. I appreciate the quick response.
  10. Cutter marks out of Onyx for tiled graphics?

    Guess I didn't hit send on my reply: Where is the cut file saved when I select Colex as my cutter? Just curious where I pick up the data to feed into the Colex.
  11. Cutter marks out of Onyx for tiled graphics?

    Just ran into an application that will be repeating, where we need some help: tiling large graphics in Onyx and pairing with our Colex flatbed cutter. In the attached graphic Onyx split up this file into panels with overlap. We trimmed manually and the installer overlapped. We're started to get...
  12. Flatbed cutting latex ink and PVC, weird edges?

    The only stupid question is the one we didn't ask! Questions are awesome.
  13. Flatbed cutting latex ink and PVC, weird edges?

    I'm not certain if my operator tried reversing orientation. I have a leftover printed piece from the job that is waiting for experimentation. Funny thing though: he's just one guy and actual jobs leave little time to just try stuff.
  14. Flatbed cutting latex ink and PVC, weird edges?

    I’m not sure the maximum spindle speed, but it may be 24000rpm on our Colex Sharpcut.
  15. General Formulations...

    Would this product replace 3M 40C? We've used some 3M IJ40C and IJ180 but I'm not sure they're necessary in place of a GF 203 or 285. Still trying to work out what to keep on hand without trying to stock EVERYthing. We do transfer graphics, wall murals with overlapping panels, and occasionally...
  16. Employee Poaching

    Well, the picture is larger than just filling that low wage position. What about the people following the process, paying the fees to GET legal so they can work and pay taxes and have the legal rights and responsibilities that other citizens possess. We should not ignore that law/rule breaking...
  17. Flatbed cutting latex ink and PVC, weird edges?

    We were running at 24,000 rpm.
  18. Flatbed cutting latex ink and PVC, weird edges?

    We just installed an HP R1000 latex printer to supplement our HP Latex 570. We were doing some prints on 1/8" and 1/4" Sintra, aka expanded PVC. Our Colex flatbbed cutter cnc, yielded some not so clean edges. We had to go back and peel away the wavt, stretched edges of the print, or use a razor...
