  1. After a decade of Versaworks I tried Onyx....

    Onyx Thrive 422 and I have to say I was expecting way more out of it compared to free Versaworks. UI and rip time is better in Versaworks. 5 print queues in versawork are very convenient. but of course versaworks only works with roland printers. props to versaworks I always though other paid...
  2. New Equipment Day!

    I hated my Summa S2T , glad it broke about 6 months ago. I knew the machine wasn't going to be great after the plastic pinch wheel lever broke after 6 months of use, it worked about 5 years, very picky with the blade settings and seems like 1/5 summa blades were duds and tips would chip off...
  3. Discussion How to handle others' mistakes when outsourcing printing?

    Now are you located in Brazil and the company you are using is also in Brazil? Quality standards can vary by country, I would bet for most jobs banding and ink drops are ok in Brazil. The other mistakes probably shouldn't be happening but I think if you are in Brazil the previous answers don't...
  4. New Equipment Day!

    I LOVE my 4 Graphtecs, about to add another one. I use the graphtec barcodes and loading the files onto a USB for print/cut and it is so easy, you just print a roll and then the graphtec doesn't even need a computer to cut.
  5. Never imagined I would be buying this!

    Are paneling in Onyx? I'm currently paneling in illustrator and with the templates I have set up it's quick but going to try out Onyx paneling to see how it compares
  6. Never imagined I would be buying this!

    My shop is 3000 sq ft and space, while tight isn't an issue when things are organized. I plan on selling 2 of my other printers and that will free up some space. there is a spacious 2000 sq ft if I point the camera in the other direction. I can at least double my revenue out of the current space
  7. Never imagined I would be buying this!

    I didn't have any panel issues or problems with reprints matching with my rolands other that too slow. I printed 3 rolls on the 1650 so far while waiting for training and I'm blown away by the speed
  8. Never imagined I would be buying this!

    Colorado 1650, Installed last week and training this week but I spent all day yesterday messing around with it and got some jobs printed. Super fast. Was a very tough choice between Epson 60600 especially considering you can buy 4+ epsons for the price but went with the Colorado after seeing...
  9. Which Machine to Buy

    I have 2 rolands sg2 (had to get sg2 because vg2 was out of stock) going trouble free 8hrs per day for over a year, 10k sqft each printer each month. 100% trouble free and they paid for a canon coloado 1650 that will be phasing the rolands out starting next week.
  10. How to calculate cutting vinyl time and price ??

    It's a good idea to have a minimum charge, even cutting a couple of circles might take 30 min total time (communication, changing material, etc. What's that time worth to you, $50? $100?. My minimum varies on how busy I am. Most orders I just "eye ball", see the design, size, qty, complexity...
  11. voc air filtration

    I used 2 of these when I printed out of the house: https://www.amazon.com/IQAir-MultiGas-Purifier-Medical-Grade-HyperHEPA/dp/B00069EGA0 The air is so crisp and fresh
  12. Help me understand these specs....

    If you are comparing the Ce7000 to the GX24 these specs are the absolute last thing you should worry about, those specs are useless in a practical sense. The Graphtec is a much better machine
  13. UPS Battery Backup for Colorado 1650?

    Yes i don't think my 1000w 110 volts ups will handle it :p
  14. UPS Battery Backup for Colorado 1650?

    In my shop the power cuts out for a few seconds almost every month when it is raining hard, windy etc. I have all my equipment plugged into UPS backups that keep the printers and computers running in case of power issues. The UPS devices have paid for themselves in the material they saved. I'm...
  15. 10 years down...

    Congrats, I'm about to celebrate 10 years in December, also in TX
  16. Canon Colorado 1650 service plan question

    I'm mostly printing indoor decor, the matte mode, no dry time and no worry about edge curl on full bleed unlaminated vinyl prints is what made me decide on the colorado over the epsons. It was a hard choice, I'll be keeping my rolands so I'll have backups and eco sol if that is better in some...
  17. Canon Colorado 1650 service plan question

    there is a 1 year warranty that covers everything except the heads, the service plan seems redundant in the first year except for getting a discount on heads.
  18. Canon Colorado 1650 service plan question

    Wouldn't stuff like that be covered by the one year warranty? Extending the warranty looks like something I might be a good deal
  19. Canon Colorado 1650 service plan question

    Ok that's helpful seeing they're are people that don't get the service contract. How long have you had the machine? Any idea how long the heads are supposed to last or have you had any head problems since those aren't covered with the one year warranty?
