I have about 30TB set up on Synology NAS, (8) 16TB hard drives and any 2 can fail without data loss. Using WD Gold drives.
Also a copy of everything on True NAS at a different physical location but that one is only on 4 drives with single drive being able to fail.
Also everything backed up to...
It is already hard enough to print in a shop with a stationary printer in a controlled environment. Mobile printer in variable environments has too many possible things that can go wrong.
Plus these direct to wall companies advertise this as if there is no competition and you'll be the only one...
I see so many ads for a different direct to wall printer.
I can't even imagine how many things can go wrong trying to print on site directly to a wall.
Printing on vinyl and applying to wall is much faster and cheaper
If you smell something burning and your printer is printing just fine without errors still go ahead and look at the chiller :big laugh:
My chiller had a little incident without any errors. Waiting for new chiller in 2 days hopefully
Took me 30 minutes to find source of smell, didn't think it...
Your computers will need to support 10 gig too if you want 10 gig, will only go as fast as the slowest piece in the chain
I have netgear 24 port 10gig switch, bough a while back was pricey but I think prices are coming down on 10gig hardware.
Newer computers I use have 10 gig onboard, older...
ok sata SSD
nvme might be bottlenecked by 10gig in real world performance but not much in terms of files sizes we deal with in printing
I'm running HDD though as I have too much data to be able afford to make it all SSD, especially fast SSD
CPU processing power has come a long way since 2016 or whenever you old computer is from.
I have 10 gigabit LAN so it provides more bandwidth than even an SSD can fill, no delays ripping on network this way. I do wish the printer was 10gig also instead of gigabit as sending a full roll to the...
If your rip time are that long you'll see a pretty good improvement upgrading computer.
I'm ripping whole file before sending full file to Canon Colorado. not rip/print at the same time
Most of my files take under a minute but the full roll file can take 10-15 min
I think RIP is a linear process and only one core is utilized per instance of Ripping.
The newer VW version can rip a couple of files at the same time and each instance of ripping will use one CPU core.
But the multicore will not speed up a single file being ripped
Onyx will use 1 core per rip if you have 4 rip licenses you'll use up to 4 cores when ripping 4 files at the same time. Any modern mid to high end CPU will work fine.
Onboard graphics will be totally fine.
Ripping big files takes a while, a 6ft x 150ft banner file takes about 15 minutes to RIP...
Make sure the IP address on the printer and Epson dashboard match.
Also try making the print a little smaller for that to see if the clears up the "waiting on media size". Registration marks can make it not fit even if the print is smaller than the media.
Did they give you the minimum system requirements? as in at least (not older than) Gen9.
I don't see why the newest PC would not work if you get get the compatible operating system running on it.
Get a new PC for around $1000 from a major retailer, it will be a huge upgrade and if it does not...
Do you have a flatbed printer? Flatbed would be the way to go.
If no flatbed then print on vinyl and apply to cardstock, flatbed application table very useful for this.
"Perfect registration" will take some practice
or see if it might be better to just outsource instead of figuring out how to...
