the engineers in the group will understand. any specific parameter of a custom install will be modified to meet the demands of the customer... a rapid onset powerwall system - like is installed as emergency backup at some hospitals etc, could be used to keep a printer running uninterrupted...

... grain of salt or not, a home battery, like the Tesla Wall, is basically a 2-way AC-DC converter with a battery on the DC side... this is EXACTLY the same thing that a UPS is - just the scale is different. Wiring an UPS is generally plug-n-play as the total energies in the system are...

loosely my understanding is that you can protect from a surge fairly inexpensively, but be careful as the cheap "surge protectors" that are basically 6' extension cords with a circuit breaker do not really protect from voltage spikes.... Something with a full isolation circuit (just not...

what about all the new battery systems for solar arrays? they do not need the solar array to work, and they are basically a huge UPS system... and can make you money buying on the cheap and selling back on the high.... I have neighbors with enough to keep a house in AC for a week (so they...

look at power walls - the solar add on that can store during low rates and feed power back for power outages and or higher rates.... a system that will power a house with AC, freezers, stoves, etc will easily keep a printer running. And the power is WAY less expensive than a normal UPS (and if...

You use vectors in all of the above, I currently use Onyx, but I guarantee the plotter you are using is receiving vector data to make the cut. The graphic you are using is in rasters, forcing anything that plots your artwork to do a trace of the pixels to create vectors - not ideal, design in...

.. simple answer - use vectors.

... this info may be slightly dated, but I have no reason to believe things have changed. A few years ago, close to a decade, my brother was creating some custom code for a POS drawer system for a chain of liquor stores. At least at that time, there was no encryption of any kind between the...

segmented correction is the only way to go on images longer than 18".... but if your image is too small compared to the segment length you selected, the Graphtec will try to skip the segmented correction and start cutting as if the registration mark is the home position and it should just...

well, without seeing your design, I cannot say exactly what I would do, but when I have items falling out like you describe, I generally work on way to try to minimize the forces trying to eject them - are all your rows and columns in-line? I find that staggering rows, (indent a row half an...

yep, on the odd job that must go forward, I rewind the roll... But I have also done well with totally symmetric images - where the end does not matter due to the symmetry you can lie to it and manually start it from the opposite end that the barcode says... do you contour cut and die-cut in...

sorry, I can speak most short things/ or type for that matter, much faster than copy and paste - if you learn and become fluent you will be much faster and more accurate than translation software. If you invest a couple of hours to become fluent in braille, then designing with braille artifacts...

but is should be able to scan either barcode and plot from either end with the same results - if it is not the same result either direction, you should figure out why first. The plotter will know which end it is starting from based on which barcode it scans. If for a specific media, you really...

How big of a deal is it really to rewind a roll? I can do a full 165' manually in under 10 minutes, using anything mechanical can speed this up. However, I just manage most cuts the way the roll is presented - the laminated stuff generally cuts reverse when compared to the non-lam, for the...

it has literally been 20 years since I made braille... but we were re-badging all the rooms on a university campus and I was the roto-graver operator... Braille is a very easy system to learn, it is a simple grid and almost a counting in binary approach working through characters (and the...

I am not entirely sure what gremlin lives in the SPD box, but with all 3 wires, the protector gremlin can dump voltage to neutral or even ground, if need be, to cover a spike in voltage --- think like the voltage regulator on al older car, it was attached to the firewall so it could dump extra...

Tinsel can be very useful in eliminating static, and as such dust... the tinsel he is using does not look like the printer's anti-static tinsel we use. A lot of bindery equipment comes with tinsel, usually a copper tinsel. Folding machines (and a lot of printing presses) can be looked at as a...

for smaller, pro-sumer devices, the Husqvarna machines are very robust. When we have a huge order I send out to someone with a large Tajima. But our District had home ec classes that taught sewing and embroidery, they used the Husqvarna machines with students and they held up very well (if you...

Well, this took a turn... I have seen a 540 with only 1 fuse... it was about a foot long, green, and burned 30sec/foot. Really nice boom when the 540 went to the beyond!

be a little cautious with Brother - at least from my personal experience. We started embroidery with a total consumer level machine (I think 400 series, it was a few years back....) . Well, the machine worked great, we have a 2-color logo that would take about 15 minutes to stitch on a slow...
