For Quoting signage using roll materials it would be nice to have a calculator / spreadsheet Item qty x length x width on roll material Number up equals square dimension for ink x cost equal subtotal and provides length of material x cost of material subtotal addition of subtotals for total...

Hi; This morning while I was out my staff got a Maintenance message. It is asking us to check hoses and make sure door to used ink tank filter is closed. I checked using the computer browser to the printer IP address and it shows the ink tank as 1/2 used. Staff and now I have cleaned the...

Using Quick Books, Casher POS as inventory and accounts receivable, Print Estimator program for printing, a Sign Magazine program on line for sign estimate gudelines plus Excel. My dream is a combined local and on line system encompassing the above, I would actually like something other than...

I have an X4 and X6, I would like to upgrade the X4 but see lots of complaints of X7 issues. Plus X7 probably uses yet another format, If I did go X7 I probably need a Macro so perhaps a key combination would auto save to 6 Alternative might be if Corel would allow upgrade from X4 regular to...

Has anyone tried running a RIP in a virtual server of Windows 8 (or 7)? I went with Caldera as a RIP for its stability, but also have Windows 8, using EasyBCD to choose appropriate hard drive at startup. I haven't the business yet to run the Caldera as a RIP all day so was wondering about...

New to wide format with HP 26500, we are trying Caldera and would also try Onyx if they ever get their demo to us. Anyway we profiled vinyl without a hitch, except its the original 25 feet sent by HP and if this group is correct we won't be using more. Bond as CMYK as well. Now as a...

Here are some inexpensive items I've found links to, what do you think? http://www.imageedge.com/products.html . Not so sure about the track though, any chance the head would work with a saw track track like eurekazone.com track mentioned below? Alternative would be something like...

New latex 26500, supplied HP sample is vinyl facing out on roll. Had ordered banner material and grommets from a different supplier (as they had grommets, machine supplier did not) so banner material is not HP brand - roll has good edge facing inwards, this seems to make a lot more sense as...

A new HP 26500, I've noticed 2nd test out on bond paper to calibrate, item caught going over vacuum area, set that to 3" leader, jammed worse. 4" leader seems to work. Poster paper over 200 gsm - hasn't jammed up but did see a lead edge defect like it caught momentarily. Yellow black...

I don't know too much about signs, coming from the printing end of the world and only previously using a small vinyl cutter so while I'm waiting on a HP 260, I put this together from some used ez-rect Type 1 boltless shelving I had on hand. If it weren't for my experimentation with modifying the...

I need a RIP to run a new HP 260 Latex printer and a separate cutter and intend to try both Onyx(Adobe APPE version) and Caldera, however I don't seem to see recommended hardware if someone cares to point me in the right direction. It seems Onyx is 32 bit, so probably limited to 3 Gigs...

I need a RIP to run a new HP 260 Latex printer and a separate cutter and intend to try both Caldera and Onyx, however I don't seem to see recommended hardware for Caldera if someone cares to point me in the right direction. Is Caldera true 64 bit therefore able to use all RAM, if so and...

I'm interested in HP 260 Latex Printers - however site requirement document shows, no 208V which is standard with 3Phase - 220-240V is required using buck booster or Transformer or pehaps UPS? My electrician is looking into the solution but I'm wondering what others have done. use a booster...

I am just about convinced to go with a HP Latex printer but if so which RIP? Are the RIPs available with perhaps a 30 day trial so one could actually determine the best for their requirements? We currently use CorelDraw a lot for 1 page design so would expect to continue with that but...

I see the spec's include both ink capabilities but mention you can immediately cut with the solvent ink. This leads to the question of how long do you wait for eco solvent ink? What's your preference? If Solvent ink did you buy the venting kit from Mimaki? I see Solvent inks do not...

If one buys a Mimaki CJV30 - can you leave it a day, week, month without it drying up and ruining the print heads etc. Is there an automated cycle where it will do a cleaning line every day, perhaps on weekends when not in use. Is dealer maintenance required or is pretty much everything able...

I was most interested in purchasing a printer with cutter which would be Roland vs Mimaki. However when providing sample art files to dealers the returned items indicated that Rolland is not using a RIP capable of printing transparency effects of the complex file, the Mimaki prints did not have...
