  1. Thinking of upgrading quick books

    So if I understand correctly you are actually paying a bookkeeper to sit in your shop and do your accounting? It is no wonder you don't want to spend $70/m on quickbooks online or upgrade to newer versions. I have a feeling most of us here actually use quickbooks by ourselves, thus not having...
  2. Thinking of upgrading quick books

    I've used QuickBooks online myself for 4 years now. I'll never use the desktop version again. I've had to administer QuickBooks pc version for over 10 years and it is consistently a headache to deal with. The online version has done account sync all the way back then, it works pretty well. You...
  3. Nesting automation program

    I'm curious if your software is manipulating vector data or converting the eps files to raster then outputting a combined raster based eps file. I ask because this is the sort of work I do. I recently wrote software that does similar batching functions as to what yours does. It handles only...
  4. Nesting automation program

    Onyx actually will do this for you. Set to conserve media, instead of a roll, you need to create a sheet size to match your requirements. Once you do that and queue up your files Onyx will nest them and split them up into separate sheets.
  5. Chinese Laminator Advice

    I know someone that has this laminator. He bought it from an ebay seller that handled delivery. It was expensive but they handled contracting the freight. I will give you some advice on this laminator it doesn't work like most of the other traditional brands. It relies on the weight of the...
  6. Trying To Make Oranges Brighter

    I'm not sure on the limitations of the Roland, but a lot of Mimaki machines I've used we had the option to print multiple layers of ink on the same pass and include a drying time. On certain jobs we could print 2x or 3x ink passes to achieve a bright coke Red or deep orange using this method...
  7. CJV300 Who has one?

    Curious if anyone has a CJV300 yet? This is the next version of the CJV150 with print and cut. A friend of mine is looking at moving from the CJV150 to the 300. Mainly the new Orange and Light black ink is appealing along with some of the new print features.
  8. Boat Font ID

    sofachrome is really close to this.
  9. agfa anapurna cyan not curing

    I would speak with Agfa about this. Try to find a knowledgeable tech. I'll be honest 6 years ago when we had the M4F this was one of the contributing factors to getting rid of it. We printed a significant amount of corrugated and ran into this quite a bit.
  10. agfa anapurna cyan not curing

    When we had our Agfa on G1 ink that lamps were the first suspect when cyan would not cure. We ran into it all the time since the machine was used 12-18 hours a day.
  11. Doing some basic web design services

    I think the site looks nice. That slider doesn't use flash btw.
  12. Supplier in Australia - Vinyl Wraps, Cut Contour printing

    I'm looking for a supplier in Australia to print vinyl wraps and large decals (contour cut). Ideally Oracal 3165RA w/ basic 200/210 laminate, however an equivalent product would be ok. Would also like to have the option of a cast product like 3M 180c or Oracal 3751RA / 290 laminate but that...
  13. Mimaki JV3 Color Banding Issue

    Are your heaters actually working? They may say they are on but put your hand on all three to verify. Looks like the heat is off. If they are working are they actually hot enough?
  14. .htaccess Help

    You'll have to determine the path to your public_html folder. If you are on a shared host you should be able to find this path in cpanel pretty easy on the home page section of cpanel. If adding the rewrite rules did nothing then you'll have to see if mod_rewrite is installed on your server...
  15. .htaccess Help

    That line in particular won't deal the MOD_REWRITE extension. That is an apache extension and is separate from php. You should have a block of text to add to the .htaccess file that looks something like this. <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ -...
  16. eCommerce Suggestions

    Magento is really popular and pretty highly regarded also in terms of cart software. If I was in your position I would either migrate to the Open Source version or if you really don't want a headache pay the $50/m for pixafy. Pixafy looks to me like just managed Magento hosting. So with that...
  17. what is a price for a used bn-20

    You would be better served by getting something like a CJV30-60. Much more production oriented machine and suited to something like the picture you posted. The BN-20 is horribly slow. A friend of mine just sold a nice CJV30 for below your budget, so they are out there.
  18. Help choosing inks for Mimaki JV33 SS21 or Eco Solvent

    We've just been sticking with OEM Mimaki ink. I was just dealing with colors a few days ago with the ES3 inkset. In my opinion it is a nice color gamut compared to other inks I've seen. We never switched from SS21, but I'm familiar with the inkset already from other machines. I can tell you...
  19. Help choosing inks for Mimaki JV33 SS21 or Eco Solvent

    What rip are you using? Mimaki provides decent profiles for the JV33/CJV with rasterlink. The ES3 inks will have basically no smell, I've been around them a lot on the CJV30 which is essentially a JV33. The SS21 inks will have a smell. If you are generally printing on vinyl and laminating...
  20. I'm officially retireing from doing race car lettering!!!!

    Thanks, everything is watermarked, but that is just part of it unfortunately. We don't touch/reproduce other shops designs out of courtesy, looks like generally that is the way others handle it here also.
