  1. Yellotools Demo Videos

    How does it handle laminated vinyl? Or Thick diamond grade vinyl?
  2. Contour cut window graphics

    As others mentioned... You cant really quote on price because you're not doing it in house. You could quote the customer $20, then the sign shop could tell you "No, thats 10x more work than normal, we'll do it for $50", then you're SOL. Get a sample file of what you plan on doing, send it to...
  3. Need Help Onyx postershop 12.1.0.9441 crash on rip/rotate

    You have to e-mail them to add 12.2 to your downloads.. It's not a free upgrade, only if your an advantage member. I just tested and it works fine for me too. Have you tried to reinstall onyx, or run a repair on it?
  4. HP 315 Latex Printer

    What would you like to hear? Cost I can't say... as for reviews on quality... I'm coming from a Seiko H2-74s, a $60,000 printer. I love everything about the Latex... The only downside is I have yet to find a good reflective media thats as cheap as the Eco-solvents that works. The latex can print...
  5. Need Help HP Latex problem with prints

    http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c04721790 Go to page 87. Its hard to tell from the pictures... But it looks like your optomizer is too high, also looks like the heads are a bit out of alignment. I suggest reading from page 85+ on print quality issues. I'd go through all the setup...
  6. Question Perf/Flex cut plotters

    All the summa does is cut over the strip, doesnt it? Is there a reason you can't do that with the graphtec? The channel is an added feature... I don't see why you cant just set our perf cut to use a condition that uses blade 1. You'll likelly cut the strip up a bit, but it should be no worst...
  7. Best way to produce this?

    We just did a couple signs exactly like this. We printed on the back in reverse, then applied frosted vinyl to it. They dont want customers to pick at it? Front piece will be glass reverse printed, or applied vinyl if you'd rather. Cut a second piece of thin plexi, or whatever you want. thats...
  8. Need Help HP Latex problem with prints

    Color bands help make sure all the heads are firing, it prevents drips from heads not being used much / prevents lines from clogging. Works great on solvent... I've never used it on my latex though. It might fix your problem, but I'd still be curious as to why the problem is there in the...
  9. Best way to communicate from laptop to PC (file sharing)

    Lots of picky people! Of course wired is the best option. But the main use of a laptop is it's portable...And the main use of wifi is so you can stay portable. Yes, you will get more reliability and speed out of wired, but Wifi is good enough. If your wifi messes up, and you just NEED to get...
  10. Best way to communicate from laptop to PC (file sharing)

    What router are you using? You don't need a special busines s router... but you'll likelly need a decent one. Is your rip computer connected to wifi also? Or just laptop? I'd connect the rip PC to wired if it's not - If you're transferring wifi to wifi, you're speed gets cut in half since it's...
  11. Changing Cutting Strip on Graphtec or Vinyl Express

    I just replaced mine yesterday. You can buy anew strip for $25... so I don't see why some people use DG Vinyl or other work arounds. Maybe if you do light cutting... But we cut a lot of Reflective DG, and it needs pretty durable / consistant strip, or it turns out like crap. Anyways... As...
  12. Question HP 110/310

    Latex 110 ink - 400 ML at $90 (.225 cents per ML) 831 ink is 775 ML at $135. (.175 cents per ML) in USD of course. Not MUCH more... but still worth it if you do large volumes of printing. the 310 doesn't have a crosscutter... The only difference is the ink size. The 110/310 come in the same...
  13. Any advice for two sided sticker with adhesive on front for auto or store front inside mount

    We'd likely print on clear in reverse, then laminate it with true white vinyl. 3m makes a double sided tape that comes in a big roll... So if you can do double sided printing, that's another option with some sort of poster paper. You'll need a good UV overlam if you want it to last year's and...
  14. Computer Gurus: Did I Mess Up With My PC Build?

    You should be fine then. Windows doesn't care about drive letters. In a system I built at home I have so many drives there are no letters available. I had a couple drives that had to be assigned folders on other drives and that didn't cause a problem. It'd be different if you were using say...
  15. FB700 Output Roller Uneven

    I'll double check tomorrow. We have an fb500, so same concept. I kind of remember it never actually rolling when I look at it... I kind of think it's just there to prevent media from lifting up. So I think it's supposed to be really close, but not exactly touching...at least from what I...
  16. Computer Gurus: Did I Mess Up With My PC Build?

    A tldr; you're fine with it being B. It doesn't make a difference - and if you change it, you're setting yourself up to a lot of problems if there's any applications / data stored on it that's being refferenced in windows. What versions of Windows are you using? I believe only the really...
  17. Graphtec replacement teflon strip FC4100

    Most suppliers don't know what parts for what. Some stuff is generic and re used in most of their machines... I'd always listen to the company who makes the machine than a seller. Glad you got it figured out though!
  18. FB700 Output Roller Uneven

    Does it stay uneven after the media is out? Ours is higher until the media passes a few inches under it... Then it lowers itself. Stupid question, just wanted to make sure it wasn't being overlooked!
  19. Avery Vinyl

    You're right, we use 77 series, slip of the mind! Paper is ok, except for really small letters for us. We just had a job where we had to print small text and apply it to 20 boxes... Our options were spend an extra few hours weeding, or cut a little deeper so we can just tear the vinyl off...
  20. Best place to hire experienced sign people?

    I haven't seen your ad, but if your hiring a manager... $26 an hour doesn't seem like a lot to ask for. Generally good people with experience already have a job. The only time they don't, is if the business they work at went out of business, they moved, or they're looking for higher pay. I...
