In the last 6 months I've went through 6 new hires to do finishing, cutting trimming etc. basic shop help at $15 with opportunity to learn and move up. No one lasted more than a week so I have up on hiring and buying a flatbed cutter which will free up my core employees. I think the labor...

I'm getting quotes on the F1612 and SXC1717, if the price is close which one is the better choice. Anyone have experience with both brands?

Ok that is good to know that I do not have to get the bigger bed versions, the f1612 price is much easier to do that the bigger beds. Are the barcodes / registration marks done in the rip (I'm using Onyx Thrive) or is there a summa software/plugin that will add those (kind of like Graphtec ads...

Do you think your 1612 would be able to cut 5 rolls 60" x 100ft into 28" x 100" panels in a 8hr workday, or how long do you thing that would take?

I plan on mostly cutting wallpaper panels on either a Summa F or a Colex, the panels 100" long on average. Would a longer bed be much faster/better for cuts this size, F1382 vs F1612 or SXC1717 vs SXC1732. There is a significant price difference between the sizes, would the bigger bed be much...

I have a 2 Roland SG2 (same as the VG2 but less printheads) and they have been both printing 8hrs per day for over a year, not a single problem. Great printers other than being on the slower side (but VG2 will be faster).

It has the charcoal filters to be legally within chemical exposure levels and the rated exposure time is 4hrs per day if you read the printer safety sheet. It is definitely putting out some nasty chemicals whether you can smell it or not. I ended up upping my ventilation and adding a 50lbs...

I don't use any of that stuff

Most of the stuff I make is made in USA with USA materials (except for ink made in Japan or Netherlands)

China produced tainted baby formula to boost protein content on tests and you think they will send their finest quality masks here to the USA https://www.scmp.com/business/companies/article/3051808/foreign-brands-still-dominate-parents-do-not-trust-chinas-home

I sometimes get stuff like this if temperature and humidity changes for example cold during the night and then warming up during the day or the other way around. Also using GF vinyl but Orafol seems to be more susceptible to this for me. To fix I unwind a few feet of the vinyl before printing...

Thanks looking there now. The paper has to be self adhesive. I made samples on vinyl but the customer wants paper (even though vinyl was so much better than the label they are trying to match)

Thanks this is close, a little thicker than needed but maybe my customer will like it

I moved a couple rolands in a uhaul van. secure the heads, take off base and laydown on some blankets, padding with more blankets to prevent shifting

While there is some crazy theories regarding 5g, there is no reason not to be cautions and ask questions https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/chd-wins-case-fcc-safety-guidelines-5g-wireless/ CHD Wins Case Against FCC on Safety Guidelines for 5G and Wireless "The U.S. Court of Appeals for...

I haven't been following the 5g information too closely, mostly because there is nothing I can do about it other than maybe moving in the middle of no where. This is where ignorance might be better than worrying. But I think we should all be able to agree all this stuff isn't making us any...

or maybe just grease seeping out from the french fries

I'm looking for 60# (paper) label stock preferably in 30" or greater width without crack and peel backing. All my usual vinyl suppliers do not have the paper type materials. Printing on UV or Eco solvent Anyone have a source for such materials?
