  1. Staffing Mix of $2M+ Shops

    I'm curious to know the staffing mix of other shops with annual revenue of roughly $2 million and beyond. My business is a little shy of that at the moment with goals for continued growth. We manufacture and install most sign types in-house except for outsourcing fabricated channel letters...
  2. Ink Erewhere! Split Ink Line

    Has anyone come across this before?
  3. LED Acrylic Letters

    We've done plenty of larger illuminated channel letters but I haven't tried any of this style before. Now of course I need to quickly quote one before I've had time to do any experimenting. What minimum acrylic thickness and routering depth is ideal to diffuse the light and prevent hotspots? My...
  4. Phototex Outdoors Suitability

    Can anyone share whether they've been successful or not in using Phototex S printed with Latex (L26500) in an exposed outdoor position? Laminated or unlaminated? I did a bit of a search here and found mixed responses, mainly in relation to solvent printed Phototex.
  5. Affixing To Fibrecement Buildings

    I'm not sure if the same building material is common in the US, but around here there's a fair number of buildings constructed using compressed fibrecement sheeting and it's always posed a problem for us choosing suitable fixings. Smaller guage button or countersunk screws just chew out the...
  6. FB500 Touchscreen Image Has Shifted

    Has anyone come across this? I turned on the machine this morning and the image has shifted 20mm to the right. The screen still functions fine, I just have to click where the icon 'should' be, rather than where it displays. I've tried restarting numerous times, updated the firmware, pulled off...
  7. FB500 Lamp Hours/Power

    I'm up to 700 hours on my first set of FB500 lamps. It's pretty subjective to tell whether the ink is still curing as best as it could, at what point do others increase the lamp power to account for the diminishing output with age?
  8. Restriction by Chroma vs Total Ink Limit

    I've been on a profiling journey since installed Caldera last week. I've read some helpful info on here today about restricting by measuring chroma which is simple enough in Easy Media. The result however of using peak chroma is that the necessary ink limit breaks Caldera's suggested rule...
  9. 4th RIP in a year! Is Caldera the answer?

    1. Versaworks 2. Pixelblaster 3. Photoprint 4. ? Caldera I've briefly discussed my RIP problems here before since purchasing a HP FB500 flatbed UV and HP L26500 to work alongside my existing XC540s. Naturally Versaworks wasn't going to operate the new printers, Pixelblaster that was implemented...
  10. Photoprint is driving me crazy!

    Our HP supplier provided Photoprint as their workflow solution when I bought an FB500 and L26500 to complement my Roland XC540s (actually they installed SAI Pixelblaster first but that was abysmal). When I had problems with Pixelblaster I was about to pull the trigger on Caldera but our...
  11. Multiple pages to FB500

    How should an FB500 handle receiving multiple pages from a RIP, eg. if I've got three 6x4' corflute sheets worth of nested jobs? 1. Does it appear as one job on the touchscreen and ask for further sheets when one is finished 2. Does each page appear as a separate job/icon 3. Can it not do it...
