Hm, I thought I remember HP touting since the ink doesn't dry without heat, you can unplug the machine / not use it for long periods of time, and plug it back in months later and it'd be fine. A bit of googling does say you're correct though. I suppose that could be it then - I do leave the...

It's a baby Latex 110. There was a headstrike or two when I was learning it doesn't like cheap media like 8 months ago, nothing since though. It's two heads, and it's the black in both. Once I run it through 3-4 cleanings... I can print 50-75 FT of mainly black, and it stays perfect, which...

Still kind of new to the Latex printer, so I'm not sure about this one. If it was the solvent, I'd just think the heads going bad. Whenever I go to print something after the printers been sitting, The black nozzles are completely gone on both heads, Cyan, and every other color is perfect...

When I was in training a put a nice cut into the roller when cutting the sheet off the laminator .First and last time. I still use the knife, but in careful .if it's a cut near the roller I use a $4 Snitty. If someone who's not handling the machine everyday is up helping, they get the Snitty...

Ah! Heres a video I saw, if you're interested - A lot of people are saying it's the "absolute best" way to resize, including better than expensiver software. Again, I don't resize often, so I have no clue... just interested in the tech side of things, and this one was considered a "Big...

I thought the new preserve details 2.0 was supposed to be the best option? From what people are saying, it's even better than the on1 for resizing images. I don't do much resizing / work in photoshop, so I have no real world tests... But some of the demos I've seen with PD2.0 seem awesome.

Not exactly the same, but I do this with the graphtec all the time. Everytime I boot it up... I load the pinch rollers as far away as possible and hit load roll. Then until it errors or I reboot it... I just load whatever material and hit continue, set the home position and that's that... No...

3M 3290. About a quarter of the price as 680. Non removable sticks better and is more tamper resistant. 680 is conformable, meant for car wraps / graphics. 7930/3430 are other options for 3m, they're thicker / meant for street signs, so it's another choice. Even though it's non...

But now you're liable for them. An employee puts something ontop of it that scratches it, or tears a piece... The customer will expect you to replace them free of charge, once he comes to pick them up in a few weeks! For the most part we'll hold onto something. If they don't pick it up in a...

We use a spreadsheet with a few different #'s. First is for internal use... Ink cost / Vinyl cost, Labour hour cost, travel time/ etc So we know exactly what it costs us... This is what I presume OP is doing. From there we have another column... What we plan on charging the customer. Xx per...

Check out pitchprint. Integrates into wordpress / other stores. Free for small files, $50 a month for unlimited size. We looked into it for real estate / other stuff... It's easy enough to do, but in the end we realized real estate people are lazy, they want to give you a name / phone # and be...

We have some shops in the area we do this with. We have a Flatbed, and a lot of the smaller shops don't... So we get a lot of flatbed work from them, and we discount it heavily. There's been times when our printer died, and they've got us out of a jam on deadlines by pushing back their non time...

I'll keep that in mind,.thanks! If you need any newer ones, or ones you don't have let me know. I don't use my 5 free ones much, usually use 1-2 a month. Most the vehicles we do are police cars / other vehicles we do multiples of, so one template lasts us awhile.

Your calculations are correct, if theres zero wastage, no spacing, etc. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IgCmElMc7IfCduBxi8Df1x-KRrmR67vwinHa0Unie88/edit#gid=1108862314 This is a great one to use. You can enter your media cost, add your ink cost... Then tell it the size, how many...

Ah, decaling is much easier then. Did you find a template? I get 5 free per month, and I have 2 left, resets in less than a week so I doubt I'd use them. If you want I can d/l it and send it to you. Templates aren't perfectly accurate though - Theres so many different models and trims. For...

Yeah, I was always told the ink limiting only saves you ink - Theres no point in using 100/100/100/100 (400% ink) when onyx can limit it to say 25/25/25/25 and only use 100% ink (Fake numbers to easily get the point across). I was told onyx will still know how to get the colors it needs to...

Solid color, you don't cut with your plotter. I mean, I guess you could... but theres no point. Plotters are good for window tinting... but full wraps, not really. If it's a solid color thats not directional (Like holo, which I wouldnt attempt until after a ton of wraps) Get some magnets...

When my kid throws a hissy fit because he doesn't get what he wants, i don't throw one back. As the saying goes, two wrongs don't make a right... People generally act out because they want attention, and guess what's been happening lately? I'm not saying don't be offended, don't fight back...

Does ink limits actually.change the profiling color wise? I was under the impression all it did was save you ink usage / prevent artifacting. Our reds are a bit brownish on the dark end too, maybe I'll try limiting the ink a bit more. I'm usually pretty generous with the limiting because ink...

Never seen it in Canada. First thing that came up in Google was "topo Chico Canada" so I guess a lot of people searched for it! I use Perrier once in awhile, mix it with real lemon packs, or fresh squeezed lemons, it's pretty good. Lately I've been buying passion tea mix from Starbucks .Its...
