Are you sure you're putting them in the right way? Sounds like your motor may be going out otherwise.

I would visit your local printer distributor and see what specials they have currently available. You might be surprised and find a brand new or demo printer for slightly more (or even less) than these printers. We've purchased demo printers for as low as $6000. We recently sold used our Mimaki...

There are only so many different thermal (foil) printers, so it should be easy enough to sort out. Still looks like an Edge2 or newer Gerber printer to me (just a close-up image). Possibly an EdgeFX?

That is a very old wrap, I remember thinking of it as "inspiration" when I started designing wraps around 13 years ago. I still like it, it is simple and gets attention. Unfortunately, everyone seems to already have a (horrible) "vision" for what they want their wrap to look like before they...

I'd reinstall it. We've gotten pretty used to reinstalling Onyx here, it seems to crap out every so often.

A couple other nice websites are: http://www.cgtextures.com https://lostandtaken.com/?s=rust&post_type=download

Sounds unrelated. The linear encoder strip or eye sensor only throw the errors for scan widths or carriage disconnects. Still, they are both easily cleaned (with rubbing alcohol) and also easily replaced by most printer operators. I believe these were around the first repairs I ever did to my...

I've ran almost every make of machine out there and a lot of different RIPS so I'll throw my opinion out there for ya. If I had my personal choice setup I'd run an Epson S60600 (dual CMYK) printer on an Onyx RIP, a GFP 563th Laminator, and a Mimaki or Graphtec plotter. I would recommend that you...

Hoard it, like everyone else. It's kind of like how they sell hot dogs and hot dog buns in different quantity packages. ;)

You might have to contact the local representative for the company you're looking at using materials from. We use a lot of 3M, so the rep gets us all the sample books/product we need. Other manufacturers seem pretty easy to get swatch books from also.

I cant say it smells that bad compared to other solvent/eco-solvent printers I've ran or even latex printers. Our latex seemed to smell the worst of all our printers, I think it was the heat baking the vinyl/backer, but it sure smelled bad to me. S60600 does have nice integrated filters on top...

We had Mimaki JV3 printers that were old and slow but dependable. Our workload increased so much that we needed a faster machine. We looked at the machines available then and were undecided between the HP 360 and Epson 70670. HP sold the owner here on the "future of wide format printing -...

It should be a "solid" color, so you should be fine, but it wouldn't hurt to put a base color down first.

From our current vendor we are still paying the 88.93 each we used to pay from A.S.S. for 45m standard color foils. Transparent foils are $103 though.

Those examples are a LOT different from each other as far as style, so you might be better off hiring a freelance artist to just draw them for you in a similar style to either. Have you already bid this job? This can get quite pricey and time consuming. I know a great artist we've used to...

Yes, as stated above, Illustrator has updated the Pantone definitions over time when Pantone updates their definitions. So, older versions of Illustrator are using older definitions to determine the color values. If you open these older-version-created files, edit them, and do "save/save as"...

It should ask you how much is on the roll every time you load it. Measure it yourself if you aren't starting with a fresh roll. https://www.signcraft.com/vinyl-length-estimator/ I wrote a macro of the same thing for Excel that we use to do our year-end roll-over inventory.

Definitely a break room, makes it a lot easier to de-stress during breaks. After that, multiple restrooms are really nice. We have 2 mens rooms and 1 womens room. (14 male employees and 3 female employees) We have a conference room, but really it could be combined with the sales office. The most...

Once you understand what humidity looks like in vinyl loaded onto your printer it is easily recognizable.

I am assuming that by "scuffing" you mean head strikes. Head strikes are either caused by incorrect media profiles, humidity issues, or cheap/old media. Taping it to the take-up reel really doesn't help anything with this series of printer. First, use a quality material. Cheap vinyl...
