As long as theyre in the same directory, it takes about 10 seconds in notepad ++ To enter a directory before the text, as you can enter text via coloumn. But in theory... your web to print software should be able to auto enter this information in an excel file.

Variable window - Windows > Variable Then you import as a .csv file. Text is just "Variable1, Variable2" etc, Images get places as "@Variable3" Etc. heres a quick tutorial. It was added in 2020... If you're not on the newest CC, there is a script called Variable import that works as...

I have a customer that sells caricatures - He does 100ish a week. he exports all the artwork along with an excel file that contains all the customers information / filename of their artwork... I spend 2 minutes cleaning the excel file up (It could be exported the way I need it, however...

Visual... Basic? Wasn't that depreciated 20 years ago? Python + js. Python is super simple.. But js is more powerful. All of the above (aside from marking as complete) is built into illustrator though you can do variable imports, setups jigs...etc. Not sure about flexi... But super simple in...

You can make as many Biden signs as you want. Trump's name is copyrighted though, so if somebody wants you to make a trump sign, you have to tell them no. ;) Jk of course. I recall when Arnold Schwarzenegger was made governor peopleStarted to make Arnold action figures cashing in on his...

You can streal the assemblies of the 130. But no .. The 9000 had a change and uses a new assembly. They said they don't plan on making anymore,.. So unless fit find a dealer with one you're out of luck. From what I hear they were order as needed as well, so no one has stock. I have three...

https://www.keencut.com/cutting-machines/vertical-cutters/steeltrak/ depending on exactly what it is you're cutting and how often you do it.... You could look into one of these, they're great and take up very little space

Grease pens work and wipe off easily. What size and how many? If you're cutting a lot of the same size... Just cut a template out of something else and use it to do repeat cuts

There's a few banner materials we use that look washed out after they've Sat for a few months in our latex. I usually.increase the ink to 100-120% and it looks good again. Not the best solution for cheap banner.... But in a pinch it works.

Helical p wheel = Helical pinch wheel. I've had one break once do to a bad media jam. Other than that nothing... Good to have some on hand just incase. But I doubt they'll be a part of your regular maintenance.

I read paper shredder oil works good. We bought a bottle and have been using it for months and there's no ill effects. Heck... Since its so cheap it's become part of our bi-weekly maintenance.... We clean the rod and relube it. It's probably overkill, but it takes 2 mins so why not...

I was told the pinch wheel assemblies were out of stock and they would not be making more. I'm glad other parts are still available, but it's still pretty shitty you can't get the assemblies on such a new machine.

I'm not sure how much ink is in your tunes / heads. For our flatbed we have to empty the heads... Then when we refill it takes about6% of the 2.5 liter box.... When you think of it, the ink lines run from the left of the machine all the way to the right, and into the heads. So there is quite...

Are your decals in pieces or can you weed and keep it all on a rolled up roll? If you can keep it rolled a roll laminator with a take up reel is the way to go. If you can't... Feeding sheets is a pain in the ass. The corners are never flat, so you have to somehow press.both down before it gets...

If you dont do much mounting you can use the chinese ones off ebay that dont use air. The air makes loading the prints really quick though.... so if you have a dozen or two dozen things to mount, it takes half the amount of time. I get that people have a laminator so they use it. We do a lot...

I know you replace the strip. But when there is no material on the machine. Does it feel like it is higher on the right side than the left? It's pretty easy to tell you just take a piece of vinyl and try to run it through. See if it hits the cutting strip on one side but not the other...

Grab a highway handyman for sign mounting. I never understood why people use a laminator to mount prints... It's so slow / combersome. If you don't do enough for a flatbed applicator a highway handyman works great.... I believe we just paid 2k for a 36" version.

Put in any white media and select the window perf profile, then do a color calibration. Reflective and window perf are unable to be profiled or color calibrated,so hp suggests profiling / calibrating on any white media

Damn...we dont ever even do bucket truck work, but watching that video makes me want to get into it!

Seems dumb to me. What about all the reflective on police cars and ambulances? Or paint on vehicles? Cars are inherently shiny. Or at night with people and their heads lights... Or the million traffic signs that reflect light. I'm not doubting you that it happened. Just that it's such a...
