We have a 30 plus year- old pneumatic laminator, it weighs 2,400 lbs. and I'm pretty sure its fully capable of crushing small finger bones or worse, much worse even. All safety aside though, almost any reflective vinyl will get you to third base with the safety sensors if that is the type the...

Expected exterior exposure of GF 222 is up to 3 years, in the deep south you may as well halve that. There are cheaper options that would have outperformed 222, 222 is a great product for many applications but not exterior signs. Also, you may want to try using matte or satin finish laminates...

If you are in the north half of the country it will last 5 years easy. We have several 10 years out on 3641 with decent lam and they still look fine from the road. If it's heavy coverage let it outgas fully before lamming.

Take advantage of the Epson Rewards program, saved us thousands over the last many years. You can purchase extended service plans at considerable savings.

Contact Onyx Support...I had a similar issue, sorta, everything I cut via barcode would cut upside down but if I manually sent from cut-server it was fine. It took a couple days but they remoted in and dropped a couple files and deleted a couple files and all was well after that.

Wouldn't just printing labels on vinyl and slapping them on the backside achieve the same effect and be a way more efficient process?

Barcodes for print and cut is awesome, saves time for certain. If your running Onyx or Flexi its a pretty straightforward process and will cost you nothing but time.

No pressure settings, same as the two middle rollers you have now but you will be amazed at how much better materials will feed.

I run laminated(cast) reflective around 220 grams of pressure with a 60 degree so maybe your blade is a little deep and dragging causing skewing. At 80" long you need to make sure that sucker is straight. Adding another pinch roller does wonders for feed consistency and is relatively easy to...

+1 for CWT 1640

Being an early adopter of any new technology is risky but as far as that goes we had way better luck with the Colorado than we did with the first gen HP latex machines. I'm forunate that everything we produce only requires me to run about 10 different medias and everything is print side out. I...

-Dont use the tension bar for standard vinyls/banner, if your printing very light material you may need it but for standard vinyls it is unecessary. When starting a new roll I have it advance about 1 ft. in Onyx before printing to avoid hand prints but after that you can start printing in the...

Nodes, thousands and thousands of unecessary nodes is likely the culprit.

I've only been using Onyx since December but have not experienced that yet....you've probably already checked this, but dig deep through all your printer settings in Onyx and make sure files aren't going to a hot folder or some weird place instead of to the Colorado. Are the files showing up in...

If you have a ton of completed jobs in your Production Manager list try deleting them, PM gets wonky when it gets low on memory or disk space.

There is a .pdf attached to post #18 that is pretty informative, and you can definately read barcodes on OPOS standard. <a href="https://signs101.com/threads/onyx-processing-files-for-printing-and-contour-cutting.150067/#post-1404862">Onyx processing files for printing and contour cutting</a>

Use Windows Snipping Tool to screen capture from Flexi showing the transparency and send them the resultant JPG.

The hippies of the 60's have largely been running this country the last 50 years, is it any wonder why everything is a bassackwards greedy mess right now? If we can survive another decade without imploding most of them will be Florida where they belong.(No offense to any current Floridians)

Fire up Summa Cutter Control then go to Actions, click on Camera Control....if you see the image, close it and then minimize Cutter Control and then send your plot file from Production Manager. Cutter Control must be running in the background.

Yes it does, I turned them off a couple months ago and am yet to see any banding of any kind in HQ mode.
