If I was building a Onyx RIP PC right now I would go with a 7900X3D with 32 gigs ram and NVME PCIe SSD. Right now I'm using a Ryzen 7 5800x in my rip pc and rarely wait on RIP. Can easily build for under 1k or if you live near microcenter you can pick up a ready to go microcenter brand...

Yes in that case 2 grommets on unhemmed edge is the way to go :roflmao:

I'm laminating more than I imagined, working great for laminating. I actually haven't done much trimming on it

Just got this error, I'll be sure to request new tubes

All you need to do is buy some banner tape to make hemmed edges 33 ft banner you will need grommets every 2ft or so, a grommet in each corner of a 33ft banner is not enough to hang that size

Most that do big banners will have pretty huge tables

flatbed cutter would be the way to go for this. Trim banners on flatbed all the time If I did not have a flatbed and had to trim a 33ft banner I would do it with scissors (on a big table, on the floor would be harder). I can glide the scissors pretty straight and would take a few minutes per...

Last week out of nowhere windows defender would identify Onyx as a threat when I click print and would shut down Onyx. Was able to allow the "threat" and back to normal now I have never used any anti virus and haven't had a virus in 20 years after I stopped using LimeWire as a teen

I have a flatbed but most of the transfer tape stuff we trim with a keencut type cutter. Sometimes gotta put the manual work in. Scissors are my go to if it doesn't have to be perfectly trimmed

A step up from ruler/knife would be something like a keencut a step up from that would something like Royal Sovereign Electric Trimmer A step up from that would be a flatbed cutter

C , easiest way to make it and will last many years.

Everyone loves cheap 6 mil vinyl!

Promotional type stickers no, any ink type, latex, eco solvent, UV will last many years without lamination for promotional hand out type stickers.

I've done hundreds of rolls on the laminator now, no issues. I have heat , seems like it's good to have heat

You just create an AI file with overlapping artboards, insert your image and export artboards as pdf. You have ready to print files of each panel

Open the PSD file in illustrator and export panels, I do most of the designing in photoshop too

I used to do with eco solvent without a problem. Set up a good fan on the print while printing and it comes out dry and ready. I do not see any benefit over eco-solvent and added complexity with the heat and optimizer. if the R5070 inks don't dry/cure right on the printer the prints get waxy...

On vinyl there is no difference in scratch resistance between R5070 and Roland ecosol in my testing after 12 hrs. Banner after 12 hrs also the same, Roland TR2 inks On wallpaper type material such as phototex, eco sol has better scratch resistance than R5070. Colorado has by far the best...

It is easy once you learn and set up templates in AI. I do 6 rolls daily this way. It is as easy as clicking export artboards in AI once everything is set up. You can go back in 6 months and reprint any panel exactly how it was on the original print

I tile in illustrator. If you ever need to reprint a panel you have a pdf file of the panel. I have looked at tiling in onyx but feel safer with illustrator as I know exactly how everything will be paneled
