  1. Rant Customer Rant

    Not sign related, but I don't have any peers to talk to about this. So a couple of months ago I had a customer reach out about doing a bunch of work through me. It was a great opportunity to have a bigger customer than I normally do and potentially open up other customer referrals for more work...
  2. Aftermarket Plotter Blades

    There are two different sites. Cleancutblade.com and Cleancutblades.com only difference is an S. The UK site states anyone purchasing blades for the US are made in the US so I'm not sure if they are related or not.
  3. Aftermarket Plotter Blades

    I'll give them a shot. I use their 60 deg blades for through cuts with an aftermarket holder and I occasionally get some blades that are just dull right out of the box, but for that price I can live with that. Would prefer to support a US company but if I can't get blades I'll have to go with...
  4. Aftermarket Plotter Blades

    Just wondering who y'all use for your plotter blades. I'm using a Graphtec FC9000 and have been having a hard time getting blades from Clean Cut. Just looking for other options just in case I'm in need of blades before they can fill my order. I know the obvious place is from Graphtec themselves...
  5. Latex Printer in apartment?

    This reminds me of when I was starting in vinyl and wanted to put an SP-540V in my second floor apartment. I'm glad we couldn't hoist it up because everything would've been a nightmare to deal with. I couldn't imagine a 64" and that thing must weigh a decent amount.
  6. Crack and Peel adhesive vinyl

    Not sure if there are other types but this backing is scored. Only matte option I see though. https://www.mactac.com/Catalog/Products/Graphics/Wide-Format-Print-Media/PVS528PW60L150
  7. Crack and Peel adhesive vinyl

    Are these going to be cut individually for handouts? One thing I've seen is putting a tab onto the through cut of the sticker shape and making a kiss cut that splits the tab from the sticker itself that way there is a small piece to grab to help aid in peeling. Can even put "Peel Here" text on...
  8. Did anybody else get a Signs 365 surprise?

    Yes, they are sending samples to customers. I had asked why I was getting a FedEx shipment from them yesterday.
  9. Barcode text changing with media profile change - Onyx 19

    Question about profiles. The IJ40 Profile was one that Onyx pulled from the printer and the other above came from the 3M site. The IJ40 is contone and the 3M download is stochastic. There is a dramatic difference in black screens just from running a couple tests. It's been a long time since I've...
  10. Barcode text changing with media profile change - Onyx 19

    I don't switch between media very often and just stuck out because it was much larger. Didn't think it would affect that, but I get that it might be that resolution change of the profile. They are both 720x1440 although the dot pattern is different between the two and one is HQ and the other is...
  11. Barcode text changing with media profile change - Onyx 19

    Just wondering if this is normal for this text to change when you change the media profile. Didn't think switching to a different media would alter this text.
  12. Die cut decals

    I used to do them on my Summa with a 2-pass cut. I used a 36 degree but a 60 would probably be better. You just have to be very careful to not cut into your cutting strip below. You're pressure will likely need to be much higher if you're going to cut through the backing material. You really...
  13. Question Discontinued - Quickbooks Premier Desktop -

    You can still get a desktop version with the same features I believe, but it comes with a cost versus going to the online only version. My understanding is that you can purchase the new desktop version to be able to keep using invoices paid online or payroll, etc..., but you will have to make...
  14. How to talk to unhappy employee’s.

    Whether it's their job or life that's got them down, I'd say just a chat with them about it is worth doing. Just simply asking someone who may be depressed or feeling undervalued, what can help them or possibly alleviate some of the feelings, will do wonders. I felt like that at my previous job...
  15. Onyx Printing Error with Print and Cut

    That's why I got 10 pre-installed when I bought it. I was a bit worried I might run into some compatatbility issues running onyx 19 on Windows 11. No need to switch to something if the previous one still serves it purpose just fine.
  16. Onyx Printing Error with Print and Cut

    Went through and reset my cutter in Onyx and tested a the quick set that I had printed from to test just printing and did a print/cut and it worked fine. Just a damn hiccup it seemed. I had tested each individually but not with the print/cut all in one. It'll be nice to RIP on a faster system...
  17. Onyx Printing Error with Print and Cut

    I'm trying to get my new workstation setup and running. However I'm running into an issue. I've imported all my media and quick sets to my new install my cutter is connected. When I try to print a job with a print and cut setup it just processes and then drops into the archive area and says...
  18. Cutting Master Five and its gremlins

    Yeah CM4 is still there. Here is the link to it. https://www.graphtecamerica.com/legacy-software
  19. Cutting Master Five and its gremlins

    I'm avoiding CM5 for the moment until until I learn more about it. You can always install an older version of Illustrator that will work with the CM4 plug-in.
  20. Onyx Thrive 19 patches/updates gone

    Nice! I didn't even think to go back and look at that. You rock man! Thanks!
