180 is not a cut film. If your cutting big graphics it'll work perfectly... If you're cutting small text, you're going to have issues. Medium sized text is ok... But you wont get too fine of a detail on 180. It's controltac, and very thin... especially after putting overlam on it, it makes it...

Throw a 24 x 24 piece of 8518 on a window, and throw a piece of 24 x 24 optically clear on a window, step 5 ft back and try to look out. Now imaging only 30-40% of the vinyl being see through while the rest is blocked. We'd never use 8518 on perf... And hopefully after the test you guys will...

Onyx doesn't let you do this. However at least for graphtec, you can use cutting master plugin to add your own crops, then you print it like a normal picture . Roland has its own cutting software, but I've never used it - I would start there and see if that allows it. Or you could print it...

I recommend the HP FB 750. It is a flatbed printer, so when you need to print 6-10 stickers such as that, all you do is load it in and hit print - No messing with a roll. It's also UV, so you dont need any laminate or anything. To get them cut into the shape you would like, I recommend the...

I used to be cheap. I have 2 rulers... I'd wait for the media to get close, shove it up the heater area and it's make sure the media doesn't hit the heater. It might still rub on occasion, but it never caused a jam. Just don't use plastic rulers, they lasted all of one time... Now I just waste...

I have the issue with cheap media. Media specifically for latex, or cast media hasnt been a problem for me. Anything that curls when heated will likely hit. It'd be nice if the heaters were higher... but thatd likely affect drying also. The only way ive found to fix it is to extend the media out...

As mentioned. If you have a graphtec... You set up cut marks within the image. Send them the image... They print it, then when you get it back you can cut it. You'd need 4-5 inches of trailing space on the print so you can cut it easily. Otherwise you'll be taping a runoff to the end so that...

Is your banner media double sided? We have the same thing happening on our Eco-solvent. There was huge diagonal lines throughout the media... We flipped and printed on the back and it worked perfectly. Banner media is really cheap, and isn't made very well for the most part. If we have a roll...

I want your table. I'm tired of laminating / working on a 4x8 table... Thats my new project to get done by 2019 now, Make a table thats at least 60" x 16/24 FT. Shop looks great, good job!

You can do as small as you want. At least on the FB500... I just tell it its bigger than it is, and when it says it cant find media / are you sure its there, you click yes. You may have to manually tell it it's thickness... For that you can do it manually, or load a thicker sheet and just hit...

I don't know how you guys handle it. Moderating a place is one thing, moderating one that refuses any anti spam measures is another. There's a ton of add-ons for xenforo to prevent bots. Ones that aren't even obtrusive to regular users who sign up... It bugs me seeing 4-5 new Viagra threads...

If you go get your car repaired, they'll charge you 150% for a part. You could go to a O'Reilly's and buy the part for 75% of the price. But you don't... Mdo may cost you $20. If you charge the customer $20 then your printer drops a big blotch of ink in the mid of the print... You.now have to...

Why dont you goto a local sign shop? Yes, 99% of the people here can do it - But you're going to be paying a lot for shipping, and wrapping it isn't as easy as you think... I would not attempt it if you havent wrapped anything. Any sign shop in your area can do it, it's a simple print /...

It sounds to me like they're leaving 4-5 minutes early to take a smoke break, before going on their normal break. We had some people like that in my last job. All the non smokers got pissed because management allowed it, and if a non smoker was sitting down at the break table 5 minutes before...

Still back and fourth, huh? I don't think anyone will change anyones mind. Some managers think they're doing you a favor by hiring you, and you owe them everything. Some employees think they're doing you a favor by sticking around, and the owners owe them everything. It's a Mutually...

If I was up watching tv until 5 am and came into work tired everyday, you'd fire me. If I constantly came back late for lunch, no matter the reason... You'd fire me. If I "borrowed" parts or tools and took them home, without at least giving you a heads up... I'd also expect to be fired. Guess...

Go with a 54. It's near the same foot print... And imo, what you really want is a latex. Their cheap $9/10,000 model is a 54. Pretty sure they have a printer and cutter combo for like 11k. If you end up not liking it... You could easily turn around and sell both and make most of your money back...

Part of me feels like all these new posts are troll posts trying to get a response out of people. I'm sure 99% of the population dont know what offset printing is. And every time people start complaining... The "grumpy old timers" get mentioned. Either way... If you need variable labels...

Sounds like you want the printer / cutter for the right reasons. So long as you know the limitations, I'd say go for it. I'd get a Latex - With solvents you need to run them daily / every other day, do lots of cleaning / maintenance... and especially when your learning, you don't want to break a...

Who hasn't called in sick to take a personal day and goto the movies, or hang out with friends? It's not much different, IF she were to do that. It doesn't sound like it's a problem for your business right now. So if it were me... I'd voice my concerns, in a nice manner. Let her know so long...
