I had to pay for the upgrade to 22.5, but when the new version gets released this summer I'll be eligible for that because I got 1 year of advantage with the upgrade purchase. You may check with them as they sometimes run deals around print trade shows. I was able to get a 15% discount because I...

Hey everyone, I'm in a pinch and need someone to help me with some UV printed stickers with spot gloss. Size is about 2.32" x 2.5" and they are a custom cut shape. Would just need them cut to shape or the backer can be square. (I was going to print them here on my UV machine, but I'm having...

Ok. Guess I have to do some research on this a bit more. Any companies you recommend looking at? I see SightLine mentioned Eaton and I'm guessing APC make some more industrial UPS systems.

I was just looking for something that will last for about 5-10mins so it gives me time to stop prints and shut them down. I'm just a small guy here in a basement. That's more of what I'm thinking of.

Hey everyone, I was wondering who uses a UPS/surge protection on their printers, cutters, etc.. And if so what are you using for protection on these expensive items? We had a bad storm roll through last week and I was typing on my keyboard and got a shock through it from the lightning...

330 is installed now after the ink mix-up was fixed. However it only ended up leaving me with about 2.5hrs for him to show me how to operate the machine, which is very little. I'm pretty much on my own with the manuals for figuring this out and unless I can get someone else here to help speed up...

I don't know about the 2 liter ink thing. The bottles are 1 liter and that's all I have the option for. Yeah the 330 series they have switched for a felt roll for the wiper portion, similar kind of system that Epson has for their SureColor printers. The rolls look small so I'm curious to see how...

Right now Onyx doesn't support the UCJV330, next update will have drivers so I'll have to learn to use Rasterlink for a short time. Salesman said if I was going to do anything with wet applications they recommended LUS-200 for the white, but of course the 330s are very new and they all have to...

To those that have a mimaki UCJV300. What do you use for blades? The OEM blades are pretty expensive ($130 for 3 blades). Hopefully my machine didn't get any damaged, lighting struck close as I was typing this and I got a shock through my keyboard on my laptop. Was supposed to have my printer...

I'll have to try Inkscape for those. I know I get a an error when opening it in Ai and the text is outlined so it's hard to make text changes. Also it may do that because some of the fonts are exclusive to Canva. It's usually filled with a bunch of bounding boxes that I have to dig through to...

I think this will become more of an issue with more people using AI to generate images for print. I don't see any problem with it unless they have some kind of copyright, but highly doubtful. I've used Midjourney and Adobe Firefly for background artwork for labels I've done for my cannabis...

Sounds like a good plan to me. I'm 45 now and only have been in this for about 6 yrs now so I've got a looooong way to go before I can settle down, but I don't have a storefront. I'm in a basement with my two printers and two cutters and I love it. I think you'll be happier without the added...

I've gotten several files from Canva that a customer designed. My biggest issue is with fonts if they ask for a type change, they have to make a whole new file. Otherwise I just open SVG files and save them out as Ai files or if its a PNG that needs some resolution I pop it into Gigapixel. If...

Everything for my UCJV330 has arrived and ready to get this baby installed and making some money! I still have only seen videos from dealers or trade shows on this so far. Hoping for a smooth install this week and will report back! Only issue I'm having is finding help to get this thing onto the...

Yeah I think websites are just more of a contact point and to showcase offerings unless you're coming up at the top of searches for printing, less likely to generate traffic naturally. I'd say also making a google business profile may help to if people are searching for printing in your area...

I'm in the same boat and have never advertised once in 5yrs, heck I don't even have a website yet. I've been in business for 5yrs and just bought a brand new printer but I'm in need of more clients to keep things running. I'm going to make sample packs of different types or prints that I can do...

I love my S40 It's fast and the print quality is great. Don't really have any complaints about it. I mainly do decals and stickers, but my customers are really too concerned with matching colors to anything.

That is who I probably go with since I have some experience using their software from the offset print world. (Although it has been about 8yrs since I've used one.) I don't use Flexi, I just upgraded to Onyx 22.5 and will get the v24 update when that releases and it'll have drivers for my...
