  1. CAN SOMEONE SCHOOL ME ON ROLLING AND PACKING UP LARGE FORMAT PRINTS FOR SHIPPING, any videos or tutorials out there?

    We use a corrugated roll material for large pieces, it helps support the graphics and keeps them from shifting around during shipment. You can get it up to 70" wide, A-flute is best.
  2. I need a little advise using Flexi cloud please...

    If you save after you send the job to the printer/cutter it shouldn't prompt you at the end of the day. Flexi saves all the PM settings with the file, so if you change anything in PM you have changed the file and that is causing your save prompts.
  3. Oce Colorado 1650 heads

    Pre-Covid it was $600 plus travel to move your printer, I wouldn't be surprised if it's closer to a grand now. I would also recommend you verify that you are not voiding your warranty by moving it yourself.
  4. copy and paste from google

    Maybe try Windows Snipping Tool, or Snip & Sketch. You should be able to ctrl-c, ctrl-v a raster file into flexi.
  5. Oracle 651 and Outdoor Backlit Sign

    There are many places on the interwebs that sell cast translucent by the yard.

    it can.
  7. Summa Woes

    What are you using to read barcodes? I find Summa Cutter Control more reliable than Flexi PM, or Onyx for barcodes. I had similar issues to your situation with a T140 CAM unit, I put Cutter Control on a separate PC that pulled the cut files from a hot folder and now it almost always finishes a...
  8. Need Help Reduce Space Between Print Jobs

    It would be helpful for respondents to know which RIP you are using.
  9. Any of your Cities, Towns, or Villages on fire yet?

    I was under the impression that the crime rate dropped like a rock in the late 80's to early 90's due to Roe v Wade.
  10. Question ORACAL 751 070 Gloss Black Out of stock everywhere?

    It's not just Oracal, In 2022 so far I've had back-orders from 3M, Arlon, General Formulations, Mac-Tac, R-tape/Nekoosa, Avery, and a few 'generic' products we use.
  11. Heat Activated Chipboard?

    I've never tried anything from them, but this company produces a full line of heat-activated adhesives....http://www.palmettoadhesives.com/index.php
  12. Heat Activated Chipboard?

    It seems like heat-activated chipboard would be a thing but I don't remember ever seeing any. Maybe reach out to a converter company like Kapco.
  13. Avery Laminate Alternatives?

    GF 242 is a solid product.
  14. graphtec technician needed

    Check with https://einsteings.com/ out of Wisconsin. A decade ago they were an authorized Graphtec repair service, probably still are.
  15. Re: Die cutter for 20mil

    We typically just kiss-cut and then neatly trim and try not to die-cut whenever possible because it eats blades for breakfast and takes days longer. We do batches of thousands at a time ranging from 1 sq. inch to 3'x2'.
  16. Re: Die cutter for 20mil

    I just saw the 150" long part....that's a big ask for a roll-to-roll machine. I typically keep things as short as possible, less than 3-foot linear sections on 54" media are ideal. I really haven't experimented much beyond that.
  17. Re: Die cutter for 20mil

    I cut a 16mil combo almost daily....add at least one and I would recommend two extra pinch rollers(media select kit) to a Summa S2T machine and you'll be a happy camper. The media must stay flat during the entire process - from loading until the end of the cut and you will near a 100% success...
  18. flexi question

  19. Canon OCE Colorado 1650 honest opinion from an owner

    We have a 1640 with 1.3 million sq ft on it, I have had next-day service on almost every call and I'm in the middle of nowhere. I'm not sure what more you could ask for. The service contract is not cheap but it is very much worth it if you need to get jobs out.
