Should be able to. At school I made a file in Illustrator, added contour cut/reg marks in Rasterlink, printed on a Roland then cut on a Mimaki flatbed. What I'm getting at is you should have either Rasterlink or SummaCut plug ins. As long as you can generate the marks the cutter needs to see...

You sir are correct. 7.3 PSD. Only has 107000 rounds on it. Practically raised it from a pup. I plan to keep it as long as humanly possible. SaaS is bad for students. They shouldn't have to pay for Adobe CC or cloud anything until after they graduate. It also creates version issues as...

What Gino said and :welcome:

Bid the job for what you need to get. Don't worry about buying a foil for one job. Client is paying for it. Nothing is cheap anymore especially when you're dealing with fire apparatus. Been there done that.

Absolutely agree and the trend is worrisome. My belief is manufacturers are going to lock down their products with proprietary code so you will have no choice but to bring it in. Back door way of crafting a residual income stream for the life of the product. My old diesel F350 is still worth a...

Nice. I think there will be more products like this as the right to repair movement grows. I watched a few videos of farmers hacking their combines, tractors, and other farm equipment. Too expensive and too much downtime to bring it into the dealer to hook up to the computer so we can "fix it".

Hand hemmed? I used to do that years ago until I realized there was a boat canvas manufacturer right around the corner.:doh:. Those ladies on the sewing machines are ridiculously fast. Now I use banner tape or sub out if there's more than three.(yes I ran the numbers)

I understand what you're saying but I still stand by what I said. Just because it's new doesn't mean it's more functional or works better. Case in point our Indigo in the lab runs great on Win 7 Pro and that's a $650,000.00 rig so the price of an OS is not even in the equation. I ran Win7...

Rolands like any other solvent printer like to run. You will do more harm with idling than running them 8 hours a day. I would say do some fill tests and see if you get more nozzles to recover. Then run the wee out of it. In the grand scheme if you can get more firing and it bands in...

Darn near the same for me. Order form wise my wife made a user form for me in Excel. Booking a bunch of boats already and can no longer keep track of jobs on a dry erase board. Dad is starting plants from seeds as he's done since Columbus was in diapers.:D(he'll be 95 this year) Said he will...

Hurricanes and 'naders give me the willies. Will never get used to getting woke up by the sirens going off. At least in the great white north we can retreat to our basements.

I run Flexi 12 and haven't had any issues. Computer is older with an AMD CPU and 8 gigs of RAM. Actually surprised how well production manager dealt with huge TIFF files for a semi wrap. Some were near two gigs. I've been around this business a long time and just because it's new doesn't...

YAY!!!!! Love it when things work out.

this^^^

I don't see an issue. The three solvent printers in the lab are in the wrap bay but the huge door separating them from the flatbed is never closed.

I started decades ago because simple vinyl graphics for my truck took the guy six months. That and some other "stuff" drove me to buy equipment. Kept my day job for way too long now I make decent money, get to work on yachts, supply another shop with prints and teach. I also weld for hire...

Nah...it's the lab on campus where I'm adjunct faculty. Not a bad gig as I get to "play" with all the cool toys. We're probably the only college in the world with a purpose built wrap bay.;)

Since you're way farther north than me talk to your HVAC guy about a HRV(heat recovery ventilator). Not sure how the new print lab is set up but I recall something about the air exchange being 6 times per hour.

My lead at school got us some samples of wrap gloves from Italy. Super slick, but expensive. Me? I get the Horror Fright poly cheaptastic no one knows what's in them (probably carcinogenic) bag 'o' poly gloves. They work a treat. These bad boys rat cheer...

Hopefully there won't be any weather related issues in Texas for a long time to come. 82 degrees hmmmm... Ice shanties still on the river here and I'm only 19 hours north.:)
