Onyx is excellent at print-to-cut. Very excellent. x10 is nice, but if you can get your drivers in v7 (which you can), go with it. x10 is a bit smoother and faster and has a few new features, but overall they're about the same. We ran a JV33 and Summa plotter for a couple years with v7 with...

I told them I found them here, which I did (a whopping 1 post mentioned them)...

Now that looks like a much better take-up reel. Did they supply that for free or did you have to pay for it? Is it an Epson part?

Yeah, the site leaves some to be desired, but I've been digging around on the internet and found a bit more info, what I see so far looks pretty intriguing. I especially like the online proofing system that automatically generates work orders and places the job into the system when the customer...

What I like about Signvox over most others is it incorporates invoicing/accounting into it as well. We would have gone with Sign Tracker long ago if it had this functionality, but we're trying to eliminate any secondary programs like quickbooks. Right now, the only truly integrated program that...

Anyone using Signvox for their shop management? I've been researching it and it actually looks like the best all-around solution for what we need and I love some of the features it offers. Curious if anyone here has any experience with it, search didn't turn up much.

General Formulations Concept 203 gloss all day long.

I vaguely remember reading on here that someone replaced the crappy core holders on the GS6000 takeup reel with some heavier-duty ones from Mutoh. Anybody know the part number for those?

I'd do it in house, it's a lot of volume for a low-production machine but if you're not slammed busy, keep your people and your equipment working. That's why you have them...

Been there, done that with Graphtec... Been running our Summa S160D for about 4 years now with zero problems. print-to-cut out of Onyx has always been perfect and smooth for us as well, we're on X10 now, but we've been using it since v6 without any problems. I highly recommend the combination...

I'm a big believer in bright semi-gloss white for shop areas. It reflects light and makes the place look a lot brighter and cleaner, although it's not the most exciting thing to look at... For showroom areas, why not paint some walls a neutral earth tone and then do some accent walls in custom...

Doug, we use a local person for that. I don't know if she'd want to take on a long-distance one like that or not, but we have a meeting with her this afternoon so I'll ask her for you. She charges us about $150 per month (I don't know if it would be more for a long-distance client since it might...

You shouldn't need anything else, there is a cleaning cartridge that's installed in the back of the JV33 on the control panel end. Just go through the menu to the custody wash, it'll let you fill the capping station with fluid from that cartridge (there's a little tube that runs from it down to...

PM me your specs, we do these all the time!

Magenta likes to dry up the quickest on our JV33. Do a couple 99 minute custody washes, that should clear it up. You can also set it to do a custody wash and then power down the machine and leave it sit for a few hours or even overnight, then power it back up and it'll finish the custody wash...

Yup, we have a twitter account and a facebook account for the business. We actually have a company that manages them for us, we feed them some basic content and concepts and they manage all of the activity from there. If you do it right it works, we don't get an enormous amount of business from...

Scored a 3! Woot!

your RIP is recognizing the stroke as two lines (the inside and outside edge of the stroke). Instead us using a stroked line for the contour cut path, change it to a solid filled object with no stroke and it should go away. We used to have this problem all the time with Onyx, stopped using...

The JV3 was definitely a bit more work to keep running just because it had 4 heads instead of 1 like the newer generation of printers. By more work, I mean in our case 15-20 minutes a week worth of cleaning and the occasional head alignment procedure. Otherwise it's not bad at all. Ours was...

I didn't know there was a service calibration to be done. We bought a dealer demo (3 months old) so we picked it up and installed it ourselves, assuming everything was good to go on it. I'll call tech support to see if we can get a technician out to fine tune some things then...
