  1. Discussion Onyx X22

    Loving it so far - It's a busy work day so I havent got to test much besides ripping... but I love that we can finally drop and drag into onyx. It makes finding random stuff to reprint so much easier. Neat how you can select a preset then drop and drag to a window and it'll use that pre-set...
  2. Discussion Onyx X22

    Looks like it finally got released today... Going to install now, Hopefully it fixes the FC9000 glitches! Looks like 19 and below is now legacy.... They said once 22 is released you can no longer get drivers for 19 and below. Nice of them to release that tidbit of info concurrently with the...
  3. Fc9000. What brand Vinyl does everyone use to produce clean perf-cuts ?

    Tell that to my customers that say fuzzy edges look like garbage... For the most part it's not noticeable. But if it's a full black print, I've had people want to send them back because it doesn't look good.
  4. Printing On High Visibility Reflective

    There are different grades of reflectivity, the kind that is common for vehicles and print is engineer grade / glass beads. It is the lower end of the reflectivity brightness wise. That being said Nikolai does make a high intensity glass bead that is printable, but for whatever reason they put...
  5. Onyx 12.2 Epson S40/S80 drivers

    That one seemed to work, Thanks!
  6. Onyx 12.2 Epson S40/S80 drivers

    Hmm.. unfortunately it doesnt work. I get the error "Following printers arent supported on your hardware key.. s80670, s80680, s8010, s80600, s80650" Which is very weird seeing as how my key viewer says it supports all those printers. If I extract your file, it only lists S80... So maybe when...
  7. Onyx 12.2 Epson S40/S80 drivers

    Never thought I'd be one to ask this.... Anyone have any S40/S80 (I believe both work) Drivers for onyx 12, or 12.2? Decided to sell my solvent and I'm picking up the new Epson Resin, I use the newest Thrive, but the guy I'm selling to has no rip... I found the 12.2 Gamaprint (Thanks bale!)...
  8. Printing On High Visibility Reflective

    Is this for an official traffic sign, or just a normal print?
  9. Fc9000. What brand Vinyl does everyone use to produce clean perf-cuts ?

    You need to play with it more! I've got my Graphtec to cut just as clean as our $80,000 multicam does. https://photos.app.goo.gl/kRFiAFKjZGrJTwyb9 You'll see some fuzzy edges... thats usually when I know the blades really dull, or before I learned how to dial it in properly.. but these days...
  10. 3' x 8' full-color full-bleed digitally printed 13oz banner price?

    We have a guy called banner king who will print at $4 a sqft for under 8 FT banners, or $3.25 a sqft for anything over 10 FT. Hemmed and grommeted... 10% off 3 or more banners...15% off 5 ore more...free shipping on orders $200 or more across all of Canada. So yeah, I get why Im always...
  11. Install sign off or approval processes?

    I've done 1/8' cut letters on drywall. It's not too bad, if it's super small we usually use a perm vinyl to make sure it sticks.. being so small that come off just as easy as removable. I just did a job with letters a quarter inch in size... 10 ft long by 6 ft high, a companies "values". It...
  12. Install sign off or approval processes?

    having a customer sign a form is pretty much telling them if you did a bad job, you're not going to stand by your work. I do tons of installs - 90% Of the time The person whos paying for the graphic is not the on site contact. The on site contact can be a security guard (Busy place where the...
  13. Replacing peeling vinyl in channel faces

    I'd say using a square as a reference and tracing the image is a proven method... Infact I thought it was pretty common knowledge. I learned it on here even! We were talking about getting a perfect contour on a vehicle for some police cars... Some people used chalk and kraft paper, some just...
  14. Replacing peeling vinyl in channel faces

    I mean, Id say it's a safe bet that a diecut out if graphtec would be much more accurate than a guy with an exacto. No matter how good and skilled you are... A human's still a human. It's like when you print and. It 3 ft decal and the white border is 1/16" off... Do you redo it, or is it...
  15. Replacing peeling vinyl in channel faces

    For something like this we'd just put a 12x12 square by it, take a photo... De-fisheye it and trace it. It won't be 100% but neither is hand cutting... Takes a couple of minutes to do and is accurate to the eye (well, the non signmaker eye)
  16. Replacing peeling vinyl in channel faces

    It looks like there is a white gap on the edges - The sun bleached the outside and you can see an outline. If you were to do it without any white outline, it'd be a pain in the butt. I'd probably do it the same way... cut out the letter on a graphtec about 1/8" bigger all around, place it in...
  17. 3m LX480MC or IJ8624 Alternatives?

    I suggest whatever is available! Avery 1405 is a concrete, orajet 3954... Brightline makes one... Honestly, the best bet is to call Grimco or fellers or whomever you buy from and ask what they have in stock. 180 LSE should work. Anything with a high tac adhesive would probably work. In...
  18. Suggestions Best printer cutter for reflective vinyl

    Are you using the correct blade? You need this blade - not from this site... Just the first that's come up for me. And a cb15 holder. It's super expensive, but cuts through pris.atic pretty good. The more pinch wheels you have the better as well... We added 2 to our fc9000. And then there's...
  19. 3m LX480MC or IJ8624 Alternatives?

    The problem is concrete / concrete pillars are like big thernos's. They tend to stay cold, so using 180 on them is hit or miss. We just did a job in a parking garage .. we couldn't get 8624, so we used 180. The vinyl barelly stuck - we heated and post heated and went over everything... Within...
  20. Replacing peeling vinyl in channel faces

    Wet apply it. Rapid tac works best, but you can put a drop or two of babysoap in water and spray it on the face and the vinyl... Drop it into place and squeegee. It'll still move... What we like to do is leave an inch or two on the bottom still attached to the liner. Tape it in position using...
