So I’ve just switched to onyx on our mimaki. Managed to get a job to print and cut but it didn’t print the cut marks - just wondering if anyone can share how they have print and cut jobs set up on theirs? (It’s a CJV30)

So I’ve been creating my own profiles since we switched to onyx with great results. I haven’t had any formal colour management training (and that’s now been postponed due to the worldwide shutdown). BUT, this should give me a bit time to get all my media’s profiled and get a few different print...

Due to the UK financial year ending this month, this is usually our busiest time of year. We’re still relatively busy but March usually takes in 3x any other month with all our corporate customers blowing their budgets. Currently it’s just on par for a normal month. wondering if it’s down to...

I have a summa S2 160T. So I have a 22’ long bit vinyl for a vehicle and I’m still relatively new to the summa for large scale cuts such as this - looking for input as to what the best method is vs how I would do it. It’s a fairly simple shape, not quite a straight line but a slight curve all...

So I’m running onyx 18.5, a summa S2 160T and an oce/canon Colorado 1640. Apologies but I work in mm for all you guys that use inches! basically, on a 54” (1370mm) roll, I can only send cut files that are 1250 wide, after the Colorado puts its marks on, then the summa does its barcode and...

So I probably never explained it right in the subject, but recently (not every time) when I’m loading a new sheet into the summa, it’ll try cut a straight edge using the actual sheet cutter. I’ve no idea why it does it intermittently, but basically I load a sheet, drop the rollers down, then...

So we’re running an oce Colorado 1640, one of the initial reasons we went for it was canons mention of double sided eventually. As per my last conversation with canon, that’s no longer going to be happening and they’re doing that solely on the 1650. However, we still continue to get customers...

Recently we’ve been getting a lot busier with large poster/vinyl jobs and currently everything gets cut manually. Which Hasn’t been a problem until recently as we mostly done signage/vehicle livery's/small scale runs. so we’re looking into getting an XY cutter to automate it. We’ve had a few...

Hi, hoping this is a simple one that I’m just missing. Still relatively new to RL6 but I can’t seem to find an estimated job run time/approximate end time? Where do I find this? They had it in RL5 so assuming it’s here somewhere!

This seems like a dumb question but here goes.. basically, we still run a mimaki cjv30-130 and it works great. Our IT is pushing us over to win 10 so we’re having to switch from RL5 to RL6, I managed to download RL6 and get it going but it appears that it will stop working unless we can get a...

So I recently activated the g performance on our new summa, went online, registered, got the code to input into the summa, done it and it says it activated. But I also got a g performance PLT file, anyone know what that’s for? Just worried I’m missing something. Thanks in advance!

So generally I’m always looking for ways to make my life easier. Even stuff as simple as cutting an L shaped bit of ACM to put on the back our canvases so I can quickly draw where the frame is meant to sit. Cost pennies but has probably saved hours and hours worth of time measuring. Or even...

Hi guys, I made a thread about this but there were a few other questions bundled in but I got a fix for this so thought I’d share. Basically, we have onyx 18.5 and a summa s series cutter. Using the barcode server for automated cutting. When onyx generates a barcode for your cut file, it gives...

So I’m still pretty new to summa/onyx/barcode server but recently I’ve had a few thoughts/questions I couldn’t figure out by just scanning around the menus. We have a summa S class. Firstly, when loading rolls of vinyl with the barcodes etc. The summa only ever seems to cut when I put a “9”...

Hey All, real head scratcher here. Basically I’ve been running an oce Colorado on onyx 18.5 for around a month now, had some teething problems but now it’s taken a full bite! The printer is not networked itself, it’s connected through an Ethernet cable to the pc, the pc has two network...

So we’ve recently switched to onyx (18.5) and I have a few things I’d like to do but haven’t found out how yet! Basically I have a job for 2000 different, numbered decals that need print and cut, onyx wants to just print them all at once, but we don’t have a take up roll on our laminator so...

Hi guys, it would appear we’re set on getting a Canon/Océ Colorado. Basically just looking for any do’s and dont’s for it before install. So any end users input would be great. In before “don’t let them install” lol - I know the reviews thus far haven’t been great on it but it’s not my...

Hi guys, we’re looking at investing in a new printer - we’ve looked at a few but a Colorado seems likely. Just wondering if anyone here has had any good/bad experiences with it. It’s very quick but also has a very heavy price tag considering it’s only 64”. Around the same as a mimaki ujv55-320...
