  2. Needing alil help getting the right stuff for vinyl wraps and stickers

    Sorry to say, but 5-10 (assuming you're talking thousand) isn't getting you the best of much. Might want to put that towards a good computer and online graphic design classes, and see where it takes you. Good luck with your venture, if you did around here you'll find lots of info.

  4. Are the cheap vinyl cutters worth it?

    Exactly. This forum is supposed to be for sign professionals or people looking to get into the industry.
  5. Are the cheap vinyl cutters worth it?

    As much as we're all a little hesitant to help people undercut and undermine our industry, I feel like it's an innocent request. However, I also feel like these new (non-industry) members and threads should be better monitored and blocked by admins. After all, isn't this site supposed to be...

  7. We're using Claris FileMaker to track production internally. AMA

    I would be super interested in this if you ever get to it. (I hear ya about not having time, and I don't even have kids yet!) I'm amazed by what you've created from scratch there...nice to see you've been able to come up with something that works for your needs and keep improving as you see...
  8. Shop humidity level

    We try to keep ours as close to 50% as possible but it's similar to yours in the summer, 55-50%. I did finally run into the issue you mentioned the other day when running calendared vinyl w/ cast laminate. (Pic attached) Had a slight buckle on one side only when it would feed it and just like...
  9. Need Help Onyx Thrive / Cut Server - recognizing tools for different layers

    Just wondering if anyone has any tips to get Onyx Cut Server to recognize and assign proper tools for different cut layers. For example, a decal job that will require a kiss cut for the inside path, and through cut for the outside path. Using the Summa palette (since we're sending down to...
  10. Roll to roll UV printer

    I didn't really either, until we got our UCJV. It's awesome for banners (take it off the take up, go right to finishing without worrying about scratching the inks) and prints that don't need to be laminated. Think labels, temporary decals, etc. We can print on the UCJV and cut on a Summa...
  11. Talk about "upping" your game...

    That's some crazy technology for such a low price point. PS. Why aren't our tools that easy to change out? :)

    Well, that was interesting.
  13. Suggestions Looking for a good media for metallic inks

    Another option would be to start with a metallic base: https://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/1285493O/ij180mc-120-metallic-sample-sheet.pdf I've seen the metallic prints off the Rolands, they definitely don't scream "metallic" to me. Since you also have the white option, you could probably...

  15. Has anyone used Nazdar ink? CET Q series

    We've used Nazdar on both our Rolands for years with zero issues. They've been in the ink game for a LONG time and they're the only aftermarket company I would trust. I wish I could switch our Oce Arizona to their inks but unfortunately the bags are too big. I'd get in touch with them and find...
  16. Summa F1612 tools/questions

    The Kress/AMB router is the model that comes with the "standard" router option. We just had ours installed last week and are very impressed with it so far. We've cut acrylic, 3mm acm and 1/2" PVC and it cuts very well, even using the same bit that came with the uni. Now I just need to...

  18. Summa F1612 tools/questions

    Hey Phil, do you have any customers using polishing bits or that have had good results finishing acrylic edges with the standard Kress router? Got our unit up and running last week and I'm already really impressed with the router (and software that suggests feed rate/passes etc) but I want to...
