Our Vutek printed on Alum, Coro, foam, sandstone, vinyl, dibond, and gator. In the two years I was at the store, we did not have a single sign come back for fading/chipping/ink issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I worked at a shop that sometimes did 200-400 piece orders for construction companies. We could produce 100+ signs a day using our UV and have them ready to go the next day if they need clear coating. Most of them where construction signage and we didn't even CC them. Almost all our Coro...

Also, are you finishing your UV ink... clear coating, etc. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ours was loaded into the FedEx truck in such a way that we had to actually unpack it in the back of the truck. They sent him out with a floor jack, when it was clearly loaded with a forklift. The create was also too wide to turn it in his truck to use the floor jack, and too long to for the jack...

Anyone I have ever trained or worked with, I have always told them, "If you aren't comfortable with it, don't do it. Come get me, I'll do it." I think being scared of a machine definitely increases your risk of injury too. However, I would force them to work up a tolerance too. If it was...

A co-worker I no longer work with cut his thumb in half, length wise. Table saw on the ground Blade ALL the way up Standing over the machine Not using a push stick Using power tools extremely hung over. The fact that the dude is still alive is kind of impressive...

I lied we mix our own inks

We are running a pair of 20's. We already had a pair of 220s run to where we out our printer. We just had the breakers changed from 30A to 20A. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right. So a UPS is not necessary. Boss also makes me unplug the machine every night when I leave, if we aren't printing after hours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My argument. However, the previous owners ran their Roland off a huge UPS. The new owner learned everything she knows about signs from them so she has all of their habits, good and bad. We have all the electrical in place. I thought the point of the breakers was to trip should the machine...

Additive question: What kind of protection do y'all run? Do y'all run anything with UPS packs on them? The former owner of this shop ran every electrical device with a UPS... a bit overkill in my eyes, but wasn't my call.

Or you can pay $375 for the 3L. At my last shop, which had a 360, we paid $125 from a major HP vendor in the in the Southern states. My current shop just bought a 570 through the same vendor, so it's somebody that might be under tight HP scrutiny. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So how do you do this?

Does any body run rest plots on a schedule? Monday morning, as soon as the machine is fired up I run a test plot, make sure the heads are still good. I had a magenta go from fine to holy sheets over a weekend. So I just run a test every Monday, while I clean our Roland and wait for onyx to wake...

Testing it just now, looks like your unchecking should work.

I'll create a folder. Copy the file x amount of times to reflect the amount of copies\ Then load the files individually. Make sure onyx is set to "Print Individually" Then I'll set the print to automatically start. Delete the copy folder when you are done. Kind of annoying but it works, also...

We use our track saw for any volume, but don't have orders with enough quantities to ask our vendor to do it. We do have a shear so anything less than 3' we cut on that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a bathysphere. You bring the popcorn? The question was aptly answered several times. If you can wait, wait. If you can't wait, it's a maybe, but not likely. What I have learned in the sign business is that there are truths, but NO laws. This business is insanely fluid.

Fixed the heater issue. However my "remaining time" feature has become wildly inaccurate. :( I had a 2’ x 10’ banner estimated at 3.5 hours. I don't think you can even make this machine output that slow. Also had a “reasonable” time frame for print size, but counts were wildly inaccurate up to...

Dang. Sorry about that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
