  1. Summa S2 T series cutter with Caldera V10 and barcode workflow.

    Can somebody please explain what driver I need to use as well as any specific cutter settings I need to setup on the cutter's control panel in order to use the barcode scanner to have an automated barcode workflow? I can print and cut a job with only reg marks, but as soon as I print the barcode...
  2. Seiko ColorPainter M-64s vs. Roland XR-640

    We are in the market for a wide format printer to add to our existing Durst UV hybrid flatbed. We will be printing on Avery MPI2923 vinyl pretty much exclusively. I've read the forums about some issues with the Roland XR feeding material for about 30' and getting head strikes but also realize...
  3. Caldera buy back option?

    I've read on the forums that some people have been able to trade in their license key for Onyx to save money and use Caldera as their preferred RIP. I'm looking at a Seiko Colorpainter and the sales rep said it ships with the RIP and nothing can be taken off. Does the savings come from Caldera?

  6. Any opinions on General Formulations AutoMark Concept 230

    We had a sales guy visit yesterday trying to get us to switch to AutoMark Concept 230 from Avery MPI2023. We apply to flat surfaces only, so the air-egress isn't a must have feature, but would make application even easier. I wanted to get some opinions on General Formulations before moving forward.
  7. How much would somebody charge to convert to vector?

    I have been given this drawing and the customer wants it converted to vector and colors separated so that it can be screen printed. It looks like it's going to take quite a bit of time that I don't have.
  8. Good small format decal / label printer?

    The application would be small decals / labels on items like cups and mugs. Up to this point, cut vinyl is the only method being used. What are some good small format (20" or less) printers that can print on vinyl or possibly coated vinyl? Also, what small laminators are good for doing this type...

  10. Summa S Class S160 / Caldera workflow.

    I am insterested in setting up a Summa S Class cutter driven by Caldera. What I need to know is how do I go about setting up Illustrator files to be nested in Caldera? I currently work with a Zund flatbed cutter and we name the paths with CMYK spot colors called "Through cut" and or "Kiss cut"...
  11. Seiko ColorPainter

    I was wondering why Seiko doesn't have it's own section on the forum?
  12. Anybody print UL labels?

    My company wants to have the ability to print UL labels that are attached to the equipment we sell. (Mostly just black and white text, but some have color). We currently buy the labels from a sign shop and would like to do them in-house. Since this will be taking business away from them, I'm not...
  13. HP L26500 color shift within same job.

    I visited a print shop the other week and he likes his L26500 but doesn't love it. The main issue he has is that when printing large jobs (like a 53' trailer) the last panel on the trailer looks like it has a bit of color shift from the 1st one. Is this a common issue with HP latex printers?
  14. Anybody deliberately buy 2 different brand / model printers?

    Since some printers are better in regards to certain applications and others excel in different areas, how common is it to deliberately buy 2 different brand / model printers to satisfy multiple needs? For example, having a latex printer work beside a solvent printer.
  15. Seiko ColorPainter reseller

    Who in the Southeast (specifically North Carolina) distributes Seiko wide format printers? Thanks!
  16. I know there's no perfect printer, but help me get close...

    Here's the situation. I have been approached by a large race team to start their own in-house print shop. I currently work with a Durst printer and Caldera RIP. Having a Durst do the printing is out of their budget so it will be up to me to decide which brand wide format printer will be the best...
  17. Suggestions for starting a Roland print shop with Caldera rather than VersaWorks.

    I currently run a print shop for a large company and we have a Durst RHO 800 HS. The Durst came with Caldera and I love it. I have been presented with an opportunity to manage a print shop for another company and it will be up to me to decide what equipment to buy. (They are starting from the...
