Long story short, our main printer (Epson S60600) is down, dead in the water, kaput. I've been wasting time harassing techs and anyone I can get a hold of at Grimco (who we bought this thing from 1.5 years ago) as well as any other techs from other local dealers, no one will return my calls or...
This thing is only 1.5 years old, has hardly been pushed hard, and has been maintained properly. 23k sqft printed on it. It's now completely dead.
Started making a loud "clunk" when head carriage returned to capping station last week, almost like it crashed right into the end of the rail...
Wondering how many of you out there have hired marketing companies and what your experience has been like?
I've got a long list of things that I'd like to do (start doing) with our company and I'm starting to think I'm way over my head. Other than having a logo that I'm more or less happy with...
I'm sure I'm overthinking this, but do you guys have any pointers for installing Gemini letters w/ studs into stucco?
Letters are 1" thick, 16" high so they'll have a bit of weight to them. (mockup attached)
Any specific drill bits and silicone/adhesive I should try to use?
Should be simple...
I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but search feature isn't currently working so...............
How do you guys handle rush fees? Mostly referring to B2B sign shops.
Most of our customers are great and reasonable and give us lots of warning, especially for larger projects. But...
Have a customer looking for something like the attached for small (4" x 6") retail signs.
These will be in clothing retail stores and have to look decent.
They said we could have holes in the signs and just attach some sort of wire........just trying to wrap my head around doing a couple...
We're getting more and more requests for ADA style signs w/ braille and tactile.
From my limited knowledge, it seems like laser is the way to go for efficiently cutting tactile etc and I'm looking into a few manufacturers for that.
Where I'm falling short is with finding a decent entry-level...
We've got a project coming up soon w/ a bunch of PVC panels throughout a higher end office.
This portion will be up on a bulkhead and will essentially have (4) panels @ approximately 34" x 34". (mockup attached)
I'll be using 12mm PVC for these.
For some of the smaller (not overhead) panels...
Can anyone recommend a good (reliable, trustworthy, consistent) decal screen-printer that they've worked with for a while? Would love to find someone in Canada, but open to exploring US options.
For now we need a few thousand 3M silver foil decals printed. Pretty simple job, 1 color, square...
Just got some company shirts printed from a local company. Response, attentiveness, turnaround time and pricing were all really good.
Washed a couple shirts (inside out) once and already have ink coming off.
My first impression when we received the shirts was that blue ink didn't cover white...
Just bought a lifetime license to this software for cheap on AppSumo (awesome site btw if you don't like subscription models).

Looks pretty interesting so far... spent the last couple of days playing around with it and I think it's going to come in really handy.
Going to...
I know this has been discussed before, but I wanted to start a new thread nonetheless.
We've been getting more and more requests/opportunities to bid on large volume banner orders and I'd like to eventually add some sort of finishing equipment in house to increase our efficiency. Our...
Any ideas regarding the material in the attached picture? Looks almost like a jersey type material.
For reference, banner is 3' across in the picture.
Bonus points: Any chance of getting something like this that can be solvent or UV printed, or is this generally only a dye-sub type deal...
Has anyone added slitters to their roll laminators? I know some come with them, including our ancient GBC Titan, but for the life of me I can't figure out how we could actually make use of them the way they're mounted.
I figured I could just rig up some kind of OLFA blade on each side that's...
We have a few wall wraps ranging from 3 panels to 14 panels that we were planning on installing this week at a client's facility.
Turns out, when they removed all the obstacles from the wall for us they left a bunch of holes. We had other stuff to do today so in between projects I just hit the...
Long story short - I've just discovered that files that pass through Onyx/CutServer and are sent to our Summa F1612 / GoProduce are being ruined by adding thousands of nodes where they don't belong.
Am I missing a setting in Onyx that says "please ruin my cut files and turn 4 points into 500"...
Can anyone recommend a good option for making ADA/dimensional sign mockups?
I don't need any crazy Auto-cad features and don't need take-offs for manufacturing, just simply want to be able to mockup signs w/ some dimension.
For example, playing around with multi-layered ADA signs and want to...
Came in this morning to find a nice puddle of white ink under the printer. We noticed a few small drips on Friday but it's obviously gotten worse over the weekend.
I popped the back cover off to find some more large puddles and white ink all over the place.
Any ideas what this part is and if...
Wondering if anyone knows if you can technically use larger ink bags on a 318gl? I know physically the ink tray is designed/intended for 800/1000 ml bags, but is it possible to use bigger ones?
This is under the assumption that the larger bags are slightly cheaper than the 800ml ones.... I'm...
Does anyone happen to have install instructions for Carriage board replacement on a F1612?
We blew our slot 3 a few months ago and now just blew slot 2. I have the board and the "instructions" that came with it are just a QR code that leads me to a dead end on a Summa website.
Can anyone...
