We have the master file, (EPS with the proof in it, as well as artwork) The rip file (Proof removed, crops / bleed / etc added) , and then the onyx-processed file which saves all the profiles used, color changes, any tiling... grommets, etc. For $15 a month you can get unlimited backup...

Valid point, I guess it depends on what you're doing! We're a sign company... so 90% of the stuff we do is fairly non complex and quick to rip. We've done a lot of high res graphic files that were about a GB each... They ripped pretty quick, even when we had 20-30 of them. Usually we just...

Does it give you an error? In cut server do you see all 12 circles? And does it list the correct size under scale? What happens if you delete the 5 circles it cut and re-send the file? (You can select cut lines and delete them... when it asks you to save the file, just tell it no) If you...

I dont know if corel is the same - But in Illustrator theres a "Preserve illustrator editing capabilities" Which will almost double the size of a PDF... we dont worry about filesize since hard drives are cheap, but if you're low on space... unchecking that in illustrator works, might want to see...

I used to hate PDF because of that. One of our designers loves using guide lines and deleting the line, but not the end points... so everytime I load something in onyx... It'd rip a 200" x 200" file and take forever. every other file she did this... She couldnt wrap her head around how to...

Kind of... I used to charge by the SQFT before we had a Latex at work, we had a solvent and it died on us... They were going to outsource for an insane amount, I did it for half of what it'd cost them... I paid my printer off in a week...it was nice! Now that we have a latex at work... I made...

Our shop is weird... which is why I cant fault HP for it. I hate their obscure codes that could mean anything is broken... but I dont blame their machines for actually breaking down. Last year we had 16 power outages in the span of 2 months. The year before that the same. They did a bunch of...

I'm the onlyone operating the printers So far nothing physically broken. We've had a hard drive die, and we've had the print head pcb board die... Both things had nothing to do with the operator. We believe it's due to all the power outages we get.... So we just invested in a $2000 ups for the...

The 560 has the best loading system in a printer I've ever seen. The new enclosed heating system which makes me waste 10" of media everytime I load on the other hand... I used to not mind the plastic parts... But twice now my printer has had an issue where I've had to replace 3-4 different...

Not sure you know this, but I've seen Your posts in a dozen threads so figured I'd point it out. You're not allowed to advertise your business without a merchant account on here. It's very cheap and easy to do, and no reason not to. It takes little effort to setup - however not doing so is...

They do close to 150-250k business with us each year - they send a lot of work our way, we were actually pricing out doing all their work across the country since we do it quick and fast for them. It's a big national parking company in Canada, so we dont think they're going to go out of...

Theres a company we work with a lot. A parking company... Well, we just did 2 big orders for them, to the tune of $15,000 each for 2 different locations. Covid hit.... The government ordered all parking enforcement to stop, including collection of parking at the hospitals... and now they have...

Roland and Mutoh both call it outgassing. Each have their own recommendation for how long it takes - Most of the newer, low VOC inks are 4 hours - the older models, or less eco models are 24 hours. And it does not take minutes, as you say -...

Be careful of those Promising you that latex does not smell. Latex is a big oven and when you heat up vinyl, the vinyl cooks and you smell the vinyl. Some vinyl is not as bad obviously, but if you end up using some of the cheaper stuff it can smell a lot worse than solvents can.And the cheap...

Agree. It needs offgassing. If you truly believe solvent doesn't need to of gas... Print something and 5 mins later take it off the liner... It'll be gooey. When you put overlam on... That solvent has nowhere to go but the glue - It causes bubbles, or curling. as for the edges on this...

The flutes are thin plastic that just get pushed around.... We've never had luck cutting it perfect with our router. Even the drag knife does the same thing in certain spots. We have a soldering iron we run across the edges that look bad.... The plastic is so thin it just melts off. It's been...

Did you get training on your machine? Not to sound like a dick, but odds are its a setup issue. A lot of vendors will sell you a machine, set it up and they wont train you on how to use it and it leads to subpar results... people hating the machine, and tons of wasted time and material. This is...

I dont know. The 5 phone calls I get from each sales person asking me when their product they just wrote up an order from that same morning will leave the building because it's rush is pretty annoying and evil in my eyes! And then the follow up call asking why the order they put in 2 days ago...

We use our credit cards for all purchases a d pay it off as well. The owner of the cimony has taken his family of four to Aspens and Europe for free just on points. All our sales rep goto pretty much every trade show, all for free. When you're spending hundreds of thousands a month... Using...

I hate our fb500. We never use it now. Even for most real estate signs we just print on cheap media and apply it. I'd kill for a true flatbed... And I dread everytime I have to boot up the fb500. We deal with mainly larger clients. One client could pay off a 170k flatbed in less than a year...
