  1. funny decals

    Apparently they were being applied to these vehicles............I honestly didn't know these things existed but now I want one. https://www.fattruck.com/
  2. laminate or not

    Ah I see. Sorry to jump on you then. Definitely a good idea to do lots of research before you take the plunge, which it looks like you're doing. I know it's not what you asked, but one piece of advice I'd give is to buy the biggest machine you can afford/fit in your shop. Lots of things...
  3. laminate or not

    Those OEM graphics are screenprinted, that's why they don't have/need a pressure-sensitive overlaminate. Yes, you will need to laminate your prints. Yes, you have your work cut out for you if you're going to just jump in the oversaturated market without much background knowledge. I'd be...
  4. Not sure how to go about this................................ ??

    Don't forget Franco-Manitobain, which is probably somewhere in the middle of Parisien and Québécois.
  5. Not sure how to go about this................................ ??

    I'll tell you right now, probably only 1% of our truck drivers speak French, or English for that matter.......:rolleyes: Sounds like you've gotten some offers already. I'd offer to translate for you, but proper French isn't my forté, despite half my family being French and having attended...
  6. Mimaki UV vs HP Latex

    How long have your sign faces been out in the wild? I'm curious how long it takes for these inks to start fading. We wrapped a fleet of cube vans 1.5 years ago and they still look mint from what I've seen.
  7. funny decals

    Printed some of these recently............... :banghead:
  8. canon colorado 1650 ink consumption

    Gee, that's helpful. Maybe they're trying to see how their ink consumption compares to other users?
  9. Best Printer air scrubber

    We got one of these and added charcoal filters. Seems to make a decent difference in our shop. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06Y5HXB3W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I think in a perfect world we'd have one plumbed into every printer to make sure it's scrubbing the...
  10. Print calculator for wide format & Flatbed.

    Is this a one-time purchase? I'd be interested in testing this out.
  11. F1612, double edge knife, plastic guide scratches

    Thanks for this Scott, didn't realize you could edit the feed speed. Will check it out!
  12. I have a project where the client wants 2" depth Aluminium dimensionals studded for install no illumination.

    Channel letters. Nobody is going to mill 2" thick aluminum letters, or rather, no customer will be willing to pay for 2" thick solid aluminum letters.
  13. Onyx 12 Telling me waiting for media size for 54", although tile is only 50"

    Found it! In case anyone else tries to find this: In onyx thrive: Go to File/Manage Cutters (click yes when warned about configuring the server - make sure you're not in the middle of printing any jobs) Select your cutter (click on the line, not check mark), click Configure This will show your...
  14. Onyx 12 Telling me waiting for media size for 54", although tile is only 50"

    S140T and F1612. Would those settings be under cutserver or right within Thrive? (Not near our rip station but I'll check when I'm down there)
  15. F1612, double edge knife, plastic guide scratches

    We took the guards off our double-edge / single-edge knives. Problem solved. :thumb: Sorry just re-read and saw that you tried that. How did you find the cuts weren't as good without the guards? I just figured HD knife doesn't have guards so why would the other ones need it.......but there...
  16. Onyx 12 Telling me waiting for media size for 54", although tile is only 50"

    This is something that drives me nuts with Onyx. We constantly run into this issue where we'll size jobs around 51ish inches and then once cutter is selected we suddenly lose a bunch of usable width. I know the marks run along the side which takes up space, but it seems like it needs an extra...
  17. Print calculator for wide format & Flatbed.

    oops....typing before coffee o_O
  18. Print calculator for wide format & Flatbed.

    I checked out that appsmith platform, looks like a somewhat simplified version of Filemaker with a pretty affordable pricing model. I'm going to play around with it a bit. I like the option to pull data from Google sheets - this could potentially work with your application? That calculator is...
  19. New drying/offgassing box

    Very cool! Nicely done. Ours looks pretty ghetto in comparison lol. Did you put acrylic behind the wood door? What did you use for fans? I bought some cheap (crap) window fan things and they don't move enough air, have a new offgas set up on our to-do list for this year.
  20. Paper Work Orders

    Do you find it's more geared towards fabricating/channel letters etc or can it be customized for more of a large format print shop? I checked it out and watched the demo. Looks pretty cool but it definitely came across as something more geared towards fab/install shops. Cost is also kinda...
