OK, time for a stupid question that has been bugging me, On printers like the HP latex and Epson Resin machines, the print heads are considered consumables and are relatively inexpensive at around $200 each or so, but on a solvent machine like my epson s60600, they are around $3500 each. From a...

What is the general concensus on Drytac vinyl? I like that they are made in Canada, and the price point is pretty good, but the sample rolls I've been sent have shrunk signifacantly on the roll, I printed their polar grip media, laminated it and then sliced through the vinyl and left it, in 2...

OK, after running a digital printer for 15 or so years, you would think I would know this one, but here it goes. What is the meaning of the number before the resolution in a profile? for example in Onyx, I have 360@720x1440 6 pass, I understand the 720 & 1140 are the X & Y print resolutions...

What is the general consensus on the best drywall anchors to use for interior signs? obviously hitting a stud is best, but not always possible. I like the zip toggles for their strength, but some clients get wired when I drill a 1/2" hole in their wall. is there something that is strong but...

Just to give everyone a heads up, there is a known issue in Onyx 24 where printing multiple pages will not generate a cut file for each page. I have a job to print a few hundred safety signs, I'm printing on vinyl then mounting to coroplast to cut out on our summa F1612. i set my page size in...

Does anyone know this one? I've tried all the usual places and no luck. Thanks

Like lots of shops I'm sure, I have a huge collection of designs & icons that I have collected over the years, mostly to do with safety signs, parking signs etc. I'm trying to streamline a few processes and I've realized that setting up any type of safety sign takes a lot longer than it should...

I'm hoping someone can make some recommendations on tool boxes/bags that work for them. I do a lot of vinyl installs at local hospitals, anything from 8"x8" door decals to wall wraps. With hospitals parking is usually not very close and I'm having to haul the vinyl and tools fairly long...

I've been having an issue with our 1612 and the standard router module. When routering sheet goods that require multiple passes, the last pass does not perfectly line up with the other passes on the X axis, it's like the final pass is shifted to the right by a few thou for the final pass. Has...

Does anyone know of a solvent printable clear film that does not have adhesive? Something like a clear acetate? We use it for printing donor names and sandwiching between 2 layers of acrylic.

Anyone have any ideas what the attached font is? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone else have font issues with corel? we have 4 pc's with corel 2018 installed, all our fonts are stored on our network drive that is accessible to all computers, I have pointed to the shared font directory in Corel Font manager but I still have issues with files created on 1 pc not...

We have an older windows 7 pc that we use as a file server in the shop, all working files get saved to it and it's accessible to every computer in the shop. It also gets backed up to Carbonite. It's getting a bit old now and I want to be proactive in replacing it. About 10 years ago I tried...

Does anyone know if there is a weight limit for sheets on the 1612? Ours works great, but i had a job recently routering a 5'x10' of 6mm ACM, it was a straight router job, no reg marks, and the piece cut about 0.5" too short, the issue started at the point where the sheet was advanced, all I...

What is the general consensus for using 3mm thick ACM to make 12"x18" parking signs? I usually have extra space when I'm routing sheets and I thought it would be nice to use some of the sheet up. Would 3mm ACM be strong enough?

Has anyone successfully flatbed printed onto rowmark then laser engraved and cut it? I have a client who makes guitar pedals, we engrave plastic faceplate for him, he wants some that look like rusted metal, he currently hand paints each one but that takes too long. My thought is to have some...

I'm hoping someone can help with an issue I'm having. I have a job where I'm printing a few hundred client supplied pdf files, we are printing, laminating then cutting them out on our summa flatbed. I setup a quickset in onyx 12.2 to automatically put a through cut line around the perimeter of...

Why is it that the smallest jobs usually have the most amount of handholding needed? I just completed a job for a client, a small engraved sign, total bill was $114, however there were 36 emails back and forth about the project, some were small revisions, but most were just general questions or...

Does anyone know of a clear solvent printable vinyl with a high tack adhesive? Doesn't need to be optically clear.

I didn't think the concept of scale would be that difficult for people to grasp, I have a marketing company client who sent me a bunch of images to print, along with the required finished sizes, the images are not even remotely close to the correct aspect ratio, one is currently 120"x36" and...
