Gino,
What blade do you find yourself using the most, the grafix blade it comes with or the standard utility blades you can purchase at a place like Home Depot?
Just got my brand new 84" Keencut Evolution cutter mounted to my table -- and have started cutting....
Wow.. what a great solid tool. No more crooked cuts from my employees.... LOVING IT!
Its not hard to become G7 certified but like anything it costs money. You will need something to read the color like an iOne or i1iSis, and software that helps to make the curve, like Curve3 software. You can read more and get a free P2P color target at www.idealliance.org
Grays are always the toughest to hit, especially three color grays. Any shift in the color balance and the gray will swing to a side other than neutral gray. Calibrate your printer and then create a G7 profile. The G7 process is based upon gray balance...it will make your grays look a lot better...
If you end up purchasing something used make sure it is compatible with your operating system. I have a DTP70 and it is a great device, but I upgraded my Onyx workstation to Windows 8 and now the DTP70 doesn't work because there are no drivers for Windows 8. (The DTP70 is discontinued now)...
I'm wondering if its cause I'm trying to print with matte black inks. One the of the color guys from LexJet told me one time that matte black doesn't dry at fast as photo black inks...I think i'm going to make a profile with photo black inks and see how that looks. the only issue is in the...
Hi guys,
I have been working on profiling PhotoTex for my Epson 9900 AQ printer. I go through all of the settings and make a profile. The ink restrictions swatches and the ink limits look good when I'm going through the process. Images look good.
I am running into an issue when I print a job...
Made two profiles so far and they seem to working great. Profiles were for a Satin poster stock we run. Made profiles for my Epson 9800 and Epson 9900 and now both devices are matching very well! Yeah!
I have a question about the ink restrictions of the Color Profiling Wizard. When going...
I have an iOne Pro 2 -- I will check my settings. I may have just selected iOne in the list -- sounds like that might be the problem.
I bought the DTP70 back in 2006 and I know it's discontinued. Was just hoping someone had a magic bullet. I also have an iSis that I can borrow from somebody so...
Working on creating my first color profiling project in Onyx. When I try to scan the color charts with my iOne Pro as a strip it keeps reading the color rows incorrectly. The only way to read the chart is individual patches. When it reads the strips its filling in the color values on the wrong...
Glad I jumped from the Flexi train wreck over to Onyx now. The Mac version of Flexi was a buggy, crash machine, piece of crap... would always crash halfway through a banner for no reason. Lots of wasted time and materials.
Onyx 11 rules!
One more question. How is everyone capturing their employees time? Right now I just have a paper sheet that everyone writes their time on. Would like a better solution. Not sure if I should be a time clock. Would really like something electronic or an app or something that would capture time and...
Had Flexi and HATED it. It would always crash and color management was pretty much non existent. If you have Illustrator you don't need Flexi for design. If you are going to be getting Flexi to drive your equipment I would suggest a different RIP like Onyx or Caldera. We have switched to Onyx...
Thank you to everyone so far.
We started off using outright.com for our book keeping (has now been bought out by go daddy). it has been a lifesaver. We do a lot of online sales. You can link it to your bank accounts so as transactions come in and out it records it for you. After a bit you can...
I kinda have a unique situation going right now. I am still working my full time job (I work for a large commercial printer). The signs and decals we started doing on the side about 4 years ago. My wife runs the business all day. I come home at night and we both continue working until about...
Our business has been steadily growing. Met with our accountant last night and now that we are ready to start bringing on help we have been discussing how to do payroll. For those of you who have employees -- do you do your own payroll, or do you use a payroll service that does all of the...
Here is an article with the details.

What you all think?
I'm looking for a good straight edge cutter. I have done some searches here on signs101 and it seems like some are talking about the keencut. Just curious if anyone has any other brands that they really like.
I have have been looking at a mondocutter and US Cutter Trim master on the US cutter...
