  1. Gradient white print out of Rasterlink??

    Until ONYX decides to figure out how to get us printing cmyk+w on our new UCJV we're stuck using rasterlink. I'd like to meet the people that created this software and have a few words with them....but I digress. Honestly it's insulting using this software after using Versaworks for 11 years...
  2. Profiling/Color Management goals

    We have a tech here today and tomorrow to train us on a new Mimaki UCJV300-160 printer and we will also be getting some training on color management using our new i1 Publish Pro. We are using Onyx Thrive 19 and i1 profiler. What I'm hoping to achieve: -Understand the basic steps/concept of...
  3. Hanging Banners - Dowels

    Anyone regularly doing hanging banners (tradeshow, events, concerts etc) care to share how/ you guys set up dowels? Size-wise, I'm talking banners anywhere from 3' x 8' to 8' x 15'. Anything under 10' wide we've used wood, pvc, or galvanized conduit, with taped pole pockets and grommets...
  4. Mimaki UCJV-300 Reviews

    Anyone out there running one of these units? I've searched through the threads and still seems like there aren't many people out there using them. Any success or horror stories? What are you using it for, and is there anything you haven't been able to print with it? I'm seriously considering...
  5. Installing sign/frame to window mullions? Is it possible?

    We've got a customer looking to install a 4' x 8' snap frame that will go across a corner of a skywalk in a fairly high traffic setting. They don't want a base/floor stand of any sort. (see picture/mockup) Found a 4' x 8' snap frame, no problem. Where the problem is, however, is that they...
  6. Anyone want to buy a DX6 head (Roland XR-640) or know where I can sell it?

    Long story short, we need to replace one of the heads on our XR-640. I believe these are the DX6 heads. I can get the shot count and post a picture of the test print if it gets to that. The nozzle check is 100% perfect with the cmyk channels but is missing 2 rows of nozzles on the white. We...
  7. Anyone ever make a portable 4' W x 8' H A-frame/sandwich board?

    We have a project that involves some 4'W x 8'H coroplast signs for a street party coming up this weekend. (Canada Day, eh!) Customer is on a tight budget but we've offered to help/sponsor as much as we can. That being said - we need to come up with something that will accommodate (2) 4'W x 8'H...
  8. Auto-Rotate / Nest in Onyx Thrive?

    Is this possible in Thrive? What I'm looking for is a way to load a bunch of files (in either RIP Queue or Layout Tool) and have it automatically rotate if needed to fit a certain sheet size. Kind of like how Roland Versaworks does it automatically - if one dimension is too large to fit media...
  9. Help with Summa S140 T set up

    So I got a used Summa S140 T yesterday. Put her all together and booted it up fined. Seller mentioned USB port was damaged/not working, so they would include a serial/usb adapter. This was forgotten so I went out and bought one. (For the record I had to get a female/female serial adapter...
  10. Roland / Summa workflow - Do all roads lead to Onyx??

    I've got an opportunity to buy a used Summa S140 T Series plotter for a good price. I've been wanting to try one of these out for a while to help out our Rolands to keep up with shape cut requirements. Looks like it's a couple of years old but seems like a good plotter still. Has OPOS but...
  11. Hockey rink board ads - material used?

    Morning All, Hope everyone had a good weekend out there. Just curious as to what people use for hockey rink board ads in terms of materials/printing method. I've got a good customer that is on the board of a bigger community center and they want to update some boards and possibly re-do all...
  12. Installing dibond signs on chain-link solo?

    I feel strange asking for help on what should be such a simple install.....but I'm curious how you guys install dibond signs on chain-link fences? Any tips for installing solo? I've got (1) 36" x 36" sign to put up and don't want to pull another person out of the shop. It's on a section of...
  13. Discussion How do you stay organized?

    One of my main goals this year is to use my time more efficiently every day. We all know how quickly a 12 hour day can disappear when you're wearing 6 hats and bouncing back and forth between interruptions and putting fires out. I know there is tons of info online about time management etc -...
  14. Need Help GBC Titan 1264 WF - Stuck on full speed

    Our GBC Laminator just suddenly started going full speed ahead, worked fine this morning - none of the buttons/pedal do anything to stop it. Emergency stop does kill it and we've tried rebooting and unplugging it but it's just stuck on full speed. Anyone ever have this happen before? This...
  15. Versaworks - Copying over profiles from one computer to the next?

    I've got Versaworks installed on a new computer and want to get my 3M/Oracal profiles installed that I already have on an older computer. Can I copy and paste from one computer to the other? Where would I find these profiles? Or do I need to go through the download process from scratch again...
  16. Equivalent to PMS 8022 (Metallic)

    Does anyone have a metallic and regular coated pantone chart handy by any chance? Hoping to find a close (enough) coated version of PMS 8022 which is a metallic color. I'll be printing on metallic silver but just need to know what I'm aiming for and don't have a metallic pantone chart. Thanks...
