Did you get trained on it by the reseller or are you self-taught? I'm teaching myself Onyx atm and I still don't understand what the point of the layout tool is.

I suppose an alternative is to separate everything with a thin black line and try to cut the line instead. The black around the edges will be less noticeable than any white.

When we bought our printer used, it came with a license of Onyx 12.1. I don't much like the UI, but I've gotten satisfactory prints from it. I'm currently going through youtube videos and their online documentary to figure out how to use the program to its fullest. Their self-help resources are...

I feel like this is a newbie question, but is it a good idea to nest images edge to edge so that one cut will basically serve as two? I find it difficult to cut off the sliver of space between images and increasing that will mean more wasted substrate. This is using a roll to roll printer.

If I just need straight cuts (rectangles), do you think something cheap like US Cutter would work? It uses the same blades as Rolands.

Oh that's cool. So I guess I would need two of those given the Latex uses two cords. Thanks. Ya, it's the only thing I really hate about the machines. But a 6000VA "should" handle it, and I did find refurbished ones for roughly $1000-1500.

We are looking at buying one of the 64" Latex printers from HP and we were thinking about getting a UPS for it as well. It's more to protect it from brownouts than anything, but the HP rep I called said it's not needed and that they recommend we don't use a UPS at all. I thought this was strange...

Omg, you are amazing. I don't know how the hell you found that. I've been researching Flexographic printing all day and could not find any examples of it being used on mesh. Now I just need to find a custom printer who will run my material.

It looks like a roll to roll method that can print on mesh material in bulk, but I can't seem to find the technology or equipment for it.

I'm looking at the Aplitapes from RTAPE for this purpose. When I think laminator, I think the plastic envelope that you use to encase copy paper for cheat sheets and study guides. Is that what you are referring to?

Unfortunately the mesh manufacturers would not have the connections or capabilities. I wish I could disclose more about the project at this moment, but a lot of it is still confidential for at least another month or two. It's simply not thought of as a "printing media" because its not marketed...

We need to print a very specific mesh that doesn't come lined. Otherwise you're right, and life would be much simpler. We are considering that for a test run, but we can't make that work financially for full production. The markup is just too much, so it makes much more sense to own/lease a...

We need to print on a very specific mesh that doesn't come pre-lined unfortunately as it wasn't originally made for printing. But we are introducing a new product (we are not a printing company) that requires this particular mesh, and it does print well so long as you can overcome the mesh...

I've been looking for a wide format printer (54" min) that has both a mesh kit (AKA ink collector) and white ink for outdoor prints. So far I've only been able to find one or the other. HP Latex has mesh kit but no white, and Mimaki UV/Roland UV have white but no mesh kit. The only printers...

I need to print on a mesh material that does not have a liner. What type of service or vendor am I looking for who can apply a liner? The handful of prints I've contracted out were lined manually, which made it too expensive. I need a service that can line an entire 100' roll of this material...
