  3. Going to build the Mothership of all production tables.........

    I just built three work tables. Used 1" galvanized pipe for the frame. Was super easy to build since all of the fittings screw into into each other. Also extremely sturdy. Has a oak plywood top and then a 4' x 8' cutting mat on top. I'll have to post pictures later...
  4. How do you guys heat your shops in the winter time?

    Interesting turn of events. The tech came to fix the heat pump and the first thing that he asked for was the manual. Turns out they don't install too many of these. So when he was thumbing through the manual he found that the guy from his company who installed it, installed it wrong. Instead of...
  5. How do you guys heat your shops in the winter time?

    Our shop is a 1000 square foot space above the garage at our home in Wisconsin. When we remodeled it last summer we had a heating and cooling company come out and spec everything thing out. They recommended that we put in a Lennox heat pump/air conditioner unit. Over the last several days the...
  6. Who here started in their garage?

    My wife was a stained glass artist and had a small Roland GX24 cutter that she used for cutting sandblasting resist. In 2009 I started using her cutter to cut decals for people and would weed them on an old coffee table that we had in a 100 square foot room in our basement. I worked for a large...

    I have a customer who would like a similar shopping bag. Would be printed in CMYK on a cloth material. Washable (if possible). Locally produced in the USA (if possible). Attached a picture of a sample that they had. Anyone have any ideas or possibly a merchant member who does something like this?
  8. Where to purchase Epson 9900 Print Heads

    I recently had the opportunity to purchase two Epson 9900 printers. Both printers fail cleaning and I believe that they need new print heads. Does anyone have a source where I can purchase the print heads from? Found instructions on-line on how to replace and does't look too bad...just need the...

  10. Onyx Quick Sets

    Thanks for the feedback. Before I seen the post about running it in Administrator mode I re-loaded the software from the installer CD and then it was working properly. When I right click on the software I see that it is set to Administrator. Somehow when I was setting it up it must've got set...

  14. Installing Printers on Onyx for the First Time

    The issue was the IP address. I purchased these Epson 9900 printers used from another local printer. They had an odd IP address set in the printers that I put into Onyx. I ended up reinitializing the printers IP back to the manufacturer settings -- put that into Onxy and BOOM -- it worked...
  15. Installing Printers on Onyx for the First Time

    Bought Onyx and now I'm working on setting up printers on the RIP. Running Windows 8 and having a tough time getting the RIP to recognize my Epson 9900 printers. I have the IP address from the printers loaded into the configuration setting for the RIP and its set to <9100> for the mode. The RIP...

  17. Onyx Production House VS. Caldera

    So between the two...which would you say is better at nesting graphics? To give you an idea of our workflow -- each day orders come in for decals (we do lots of wall decals). Customers can choose which colors they want. So each day of production we go to our master files and build an...

  19. Am I the only person having problems with Signs 365 Same Day production?

    We have had printing issues from them lately. Transparency and overprinting issues that are very obvious that they are wrong when they arrive. Ordered with plenty of time - but when they come wrong and you have a deadline coming up - then it quickly turns into a Rush job. They have reprinted...
  20. Print Show 2013 Crazyness

    At first the security guards told us that cars are never stolen out of that lot and to go back out and look. We came back and said that is was gone. They never even offered to call the Police for us. We called and sat on hold for over an hour. Then one of the police on the phone asked us if we...
