  1. Pricing for a large format printer

    Vinyl or vinyl with laminate is per square foot which takes into account all other expenses. Industrial labels are per square inch since I use VDP to populate info fields.
  2. Question can i print double sided cling on my sc545-ex?

    You're missing a major step which is sub it out and save yourself a bunch of trouble.
  3. Versalift Help

    Don't touch it, if you do it's a potential lawsuit waiting to happen. Bring it to the dealer and make sure you get copies of all paperwork with sign offs.
  4. I'm a Caldera user, should I go with onyx with the new equipment?

    I've never used Caldera but ran Onyx for a while. Stick with Caldera. ;)
  5. Alternative to banners in a school gym?

    "More professional like a poster"...LOL. Since you sub out get this: Matte flatbed print on foam pvc. My in house method: Print on 3640 matte then apply to foam pvc. Nice high end look.
  6. Need Help Mimaki CJV150 Ink buildup behind head on carriage

    Probably normal, clean it up and keep printing. My printer has plastic ramps on each side of the head. Doesn't take a lot of running to get them dirty.
  7. Roland SP540v Banding

    Try running the same print with a canned profile for matte material. Sounds weird but for certain materials it works a treat. Can also try uni-directional. It covers up a lot of head issues.
  8. Back-ordered materials- what are you having trouble finding?

    So far I've been able to get the things I need but it's taking longer each time. Wrap kits are no longer kits. Vinyl from one spot, laminate from another. My last order came from four different warehouses and took almost a week. Not that long ago I could order before noon and have everything...
  9. Electric paper cutters (guillotines)

    Nice, let us know how it works out.
  10. What would you like to learn more about in the print ind?

    Color management and Profiling. Profiling for me is a dark art. Should be completely automated but it isn't. Tweaks by an experienced user are still required to get spot on color.
  11. Panels not centering on media

    Cool. Never thought of that, will give it a shot.
  12. Software to view vector files

    Illustrator
  13. Panels not centering on media

    Sounds like Onyx does the same thing as Flexi. Phooey. Only way around it then is to panel it myself which takes more time than offsetting the print at lamination.
  14. Employees quit after a few weeks?!?!

    Last place I worked for went strictly temp agency for new hires. If you were worth it you got offered a permanent spot. If you didn't work out you were sent packin' with no HR issues whatsoever. Yeah, the temp agency gets a cut, but it's a small price to pay for the convenience of "try before...

  16. Anyone Going to the SEMA Show Nov. 2 - 5

    I don't dare go anywhere near SEMA. Who knows what kind of go fast goodies I would buy then have to explain to the wife.
  17. Panels not centering on media

    54" and I poll size before doing anything. Although normally on 54' media I manually set it to 52" then check the panels. I thought it may have been an artifact in the client supplied file, but it did the same thing with a file built completely in Flexi. Print starts 5mm from right side of...
  18. We're (Trying) to buy a new building!

    Outstanding! 21,000sq. ft. is amazing. I'll keep ordering signs to help pay for it.
  19. Panels not centering on media

    I've been through all the menus and clicked center on media in the general tab and again in the panels tab. Still prints tight to the right margin. I prefer to have it centered then if it skews a bit when laminating the panels are still usable. It's been a while printing wraps but I don't...
