So you’ll pay the premium on the brand new one. Simple as that.

I am here to help. Not to do other people’s jobs for them. Happy to teach anyone that’s willing to learn - not happy to just help other people steal other companies designs - for free!

Honestly all the whining and cussing/immaturity seems to be coming from one place.. very mature for a 70 year old..

Yes, I am 10. I see you are a 70 year old man that struggles keeping up with technology and curses/shouts at 10 year olds on the internet. Go you.

A Vignette may not be intellectual properly but in the post above he’s literally stated he’s copying the entirety of the design. To match the other few hundred signs about town. How would you feel if this guy was asking for free help to steal one of your signs? This forum is great for learning...

One, you’re obviously ripping off another sign shops intellectual property by stealing their design. Why don’t they go get their design from someone who knows how to make their design? And you can print it? Two, you basically asked for this to be done for free. I may not have 40 years in the...

Hi, I don’t know how to do my job. Can someone do my job for me for free please?

Most up to date onyx, summa firmware up to date and already tried reinstalling onyx just in case. As mentioned, same thing happened from engineers laptop with nothing going through our onyx at all. About 400mm between markers and end barcode. As i said, if I turn cut off function to “off”...

Honestly that profile was stuff of legend, it was 4 pass, printed beautifully and never banded at all. Pretty sure it was a 3M profile and we’ve never used 3M in the shop. Easily printed about 300,000 square feet on that profile. Sad thing is it was on rasterlink and we use onyx now lol

So after about 6 months of issues on our summa most of them appear to be fixed. There’s still one persistent error that fills me with rage.. engineer has seen it before but says the guy that fixed it has left the company and he can’t ask him - I am not keen on waiting for the engineer (as this...

Your best bet would be to print a job that’s exactly 1 square foot (or sqm) that’s full coverage and use that data as a base point. Then price accordingly based on the coverage of the job you’d like to price.

What are you doing in acrobat? Is it maybe something you can just script and run PDF’s through that? It has always confused me that you need to add the watermark with 0 opacity before flattening the text will work in acrobat.

Putting individual sheets on the laminator shouldn’t be all that difficult, just get an old roll of backing paper, run that through the laminator then tape the individual jobs to the backing paper. Shouldn’t have any issues with bunching up etc as long as you tape the whole edge down

This is why we went for the flexa miura II when we went XY, the price for the fotoba seemed crazy for the application we needed. All in on the flexa we’re about 18k (we’ve bought a few sets of double cutters since install). Compare that to the fotoba - we got quoted £42k for the machine and...

When we had the mimaki we ran everything on the same profile. Since we switched to the Colorado and onyx, I’ve been creating my own profiles and I can assure you the output and consistency is better. Also when you print from onyx to the Colorado it just gets held in a queue on the actual...

I haven’t had any first hand knowledge with the UCJV but they do look like great machines. Whenever I’ve seen reviews of them they’re always positive and I think there’s a lot more out there than you’d assume, I just think they aren’t very problematic so there’s not as much need to ask...

Runs on both. Though we run about 95% of our jobs through the Colorado. The mimaki is mostly a backup and/or printing HTV. Watching that mimaki do a full roll in ~7 hours is tedious now lol

For our usual runs on “standard” poster paper we buy in a 190gsm semi-gloss and it’s about $0.08/sqft (based on exchange rates). Still very cheap, runs like a dream and the margins are considerable.

Honestly it comes down to what material you’re using. In an ideal world where both materials have the same specs, the cut vinyl will last longer vs printed vinyl so On a single colour job, I’d go for the cut vinyl. (If you have it in stock)

We use that for our colorwave! The ijm801 is 130gsm silk and is around that price. One of the ones they claim they made specifically for the Colorado. 120m rolls too! Definitely worth a try.
