  1. What to charge for installing perforated graphics?

    We would likely charge 4 hours if that job were somewhere in town. So $300. If you do it by the square foot, it's 123 square feet. At $2.50/sq ft that's $307.50. I don't think anyone in our town would pay twice that for installation, since we have guys with bucket trucks that will change out a...

  10. Question Onyx paper profiles

    You add media sizes in the Media Manager. Or, after you've loaded the media, have Onyx query the printer for the media size. Have you had any training on how to do what you are trying to do? These are all basic things that should have been handled in the training you got when your vendor came...
  11. Question Onyx paper profiles

    Try reading the Onyx online help about how to set up the media widths. It's really not complicated.
  12. Epson S50675 error 1A39... New Print Heads needed? New Main Board? Help!

    If the printer had been shut down for 6 months, I wouldn't have had the tech try to revive the heads; I'd have just planned to replace all the ink handling parts. Heads, dampers, capping stations. That said, I've read that people have gotten their printers to clear the 1A39 error by shutting it...

    Use the Onyx Printer and Profile Download Manager to browse available profiles and download and install appropriate profiles for the media types you use. When you use a media with a narrower width than what you were using before, you have to tell Onyx the width of the new media, and then make...
  14. Discussion Any money in feather flags???

    Most of the absurdly cheap ones are being made and shipped from China. Unfortunately these are also sold online direct to consumer, so when you try to wholesale from an American producer, you will find your wholesale cost is higher than the online retail price. So if your customer has already...
  15. Is this possible???

    The simple answer is no. Even on a white vehicle. Black you can come closer because of the nature of black, especially when not in direct sunlight. But because of the nature of paint (pigment, depth, gloss, metallic or not) and printed vinyl (CMYK dots, gloss, lack of depth), you will never get...
  16. Epson s80600 and tshirt material

    We have the S70670 and use print/cut for jersey lettering and for small quantity t-shirt and hoodie lettering. The inks stand up fine to washing. I have a hoodie that after 2 years is starting to show some ink wear. However under friction like a neck brace the ink will rub off fairly quickly. We...

  20. Embossed Aluminum Signs

    A prison? You may laugh, but our prison system has shops which do business using slave labor, competing against regular merchants. Seriously, Google "stamped metal signs" and start calling.
