Looking for a Latex 365 for somewhere in the ballpark of $4000. Willing to travel to pick up. Wondering if anyone knows or has anything available?

Wondering if anyone has any tips/tricks on printing braille with a Scitex FB550. Not sure if anyone is doing it and if it's reasonable on that printer. We are considering buying a 3d printer or desktop UV dedicated to braille but we already have the FB550 and wondering if maybe that's an option...

Setting up a Mimaki plotter to print/cut through Onyx Thrive (printed on HP latex, cut on Mimaki plotter, all through ONYX thrive). I've done this many times with Summa and other printers/cutters...but for some reason I can't get it to work with the Mimaki CG160FXII. Onyx will generate the...

So I searched around the Summa forums and I know I saw this somewhere but can't find it now. So I apologize now if this has already been covered. I have a Summa ST160 and looking for the setting to allow it to cut beyond the outermost pinch rollers. I have a job where the registration marks are...

Hey folks, I'm looking for a source of LDF somewhere near Cooperstown NY. I'll be using it for the spoil board on our recently purchased CNC router. I've found some at Atlantic plywood in Farmingdale, NY but that's a 5 hour drive from me and noboby wants to ship a single sheet of LDF. Looking...

Hi Folks, I'm installing ONYX thrive onto a new computer...I've installed the software no problem, but when I attempt to install a printer from the printerinstall file that was created by the download manager I get the attached message. Anyone have any ideas?

This one is kinda directed at you Wild West! I know you're the embroidery guru around here, and maybe the only one watching this forum haha! But anyway I was wondering if anyone had any tips on embroidering large backs of hoodies. I've got it nailed down really well and doing some cool work...

Hello to all! I’m having trouble getting my Tatami fills to close without any gaps. Haven’t had any trouble before but all the sudden its happening on a couple files...I digitize my own stuff in Wilcom and haven’t had any trouble with this until now. I’ve attached a picture showing the yellow...

I have the take up reel on my Summa S Class plotter. And it's been working great for months but now all of the sudden it's having trouble. I used to tape up the job to the take up reel with a leader, get it all squared up and then read the barcode and off it went. It would cut full 150' rolls...

Hi all, wondering if anyone has any experience with Autokarv CNC routers. I just had a salesman in my shop recommending them and my own research shows they are pretty new and not finding much info about them. Anybody have any tales of horror or success to share about them? Thanks for your time!

Hello to all the fine folks here at Signs101! I'm looking for advice on ShopSabre machines vs Camaster....here's a little background... I've ran a Gerber Sabre 408 for over 10 years and just recently moved to a new sign shop without any CNC routers. We are a small shop but serve multiple...

Hello to all the fellow signmakers out there! I have a question regarding my Summa, Winplot, and horizontal copies....I'm wondering how to get the Summa/WinPlot to look horizontally for the next copy instead of just vertically. So for example when I'm cutting small magnets with somewhat complex...

Hello all :-) Just wondering if someone knows of a good company offering custom polymetal cuts. It's pretty simple/basic stuff I'm looking for...just someone to cut 3mm or 6mm polymetal, 3mm/6mm PVC, and the occasional acrylic cuts. Typically I'm just applying vinyl prints to the contour cuts...

Hello all! Wondering if anybody has ever had issues with the image/media sensor not being able to find the user edge of the sheet when measuring? I've cleaned out and around the area where the sensors are located. I did find some dust and cleaned it out but nothing significant. The printer...

Wondering if anyone is using AutoCarve 3d option for Artpath? We have a Sabre 408 and love it, had it 16 years and very little maintenance. Anyway we are looking into true 3d carving options and by the sounds of it Artpath can do this with the purchase of the Autocarve 3d option. My...

Hello all :-) I'm getting an error 58:10 on my L28500. The error is accompanied by a message stating "The printer's color sensor is not working well. Color reading operations may fail." Anybody know how to address this without calling in an HP tech? Perhaps something needs to be cleaned...

Hi folks, typically I use stainless steel screws for all outdoor applications. But I'm always tempted to use a coated decking screw, primarily because I like the aggressive threads and can find them in long lengths (3-4"). Does anyone know anything about coated decking screws? How long they...

Hi folks, wondering if anyone knows of a reasonable source for the media edge holders for my L28500. I've included a pic. I've talked to my vendor who can't get them and says that they are apparently discontinued from HP? This blows my mind, the printer isn't that old. I've found them here...

I have a roughly 6 year old FB950 and the cyan drops out after about 8' of printing. The power supply, e box, and mother board are all about 1.5 years old. The heads are about 2 years old and showing very little issues (barely noticeable weak center jetting on 1 cyan and 1 black head). Here's...

Hi folks! I have a Sabre 408 and the motor is not turning on. This happens about once or twice a year and typically it's the brushes/motor itself so we keep a couple extra in stock and replace as needed. Well this time it's not the motor, I've removed the motor and tested it in a regular...
