  1. Discussion Onyx processing files for printing and contour cutting

    Make sure the lines that you want to be Flexcut are red in Winplot. There is a setting in the output dialog box when you send to cutter that says "Cut red lines in FlexCut mode". You may have to adjust the flex pressure/full pressure and cut length settings on the Summa itself if it is cutting...
  2. What do you use to dust off prints?

    I use the blue roller, but got it on amazon for $26...looks to be the exact same as the $185 from Fellers. Been using it since June and love it. Spray with water/alcohol and wipe off to clean it for reuse. Used to use tacrags and they worked well, but the roller is my favorite.
  3. Vanguard VK300D Manual

    I appreciate your response nate, but not relevant to my current needs. At the moment, I am in search of a copy of the manual and/or maintenance and operational information. I have already seen a demo and have purchased the machine. I have training set up at the soonest available time, and I've...
  4. Vanguard VK300D Manual

    Anyone have a manual for Vanguard VK300D that they could send me? If not, any resources/tips/tricks/videos that show more than a demo? I can hardly find any info on it. Thanks!
  5. Discussion Onyx processing files for printing and contour cutting

    I don't remember the exact errors, it's been about a year since I gave up on it. We tried several materials, laminated and not laminated, and troubleshooted for weeks. The automation never worked at all. If we did get the barcode to read (1 out of every ~5 attempts) it wouldn't move to the next...
  6. Discussion Onyx processing files for printing and contour cutting

    I use Illustrator, but I have called my dealer, Summa, and Onyx and none of them were able to get the barcode system working correctly. I gave up and just use the Summa plugin for OPOS XY Registration Marks and send my files through Summa Winplot. Just sucks that they advertise automation when...
  7. Hp Latex 360 Prints Grainy

    Any updates? I am having almost the exact same issue on my l26500, Onyx 18 is my rip. I'm using a brand new roll of matte vinyl (don't know how long it was in the warehouse) and am about 1/2 through the roll with the problems persisting. This is actually my second roll this is happening on...
  8. ISO HP Scitex FB550

    Can anyone recommend a dealer to buy a HP flatbed (FB550) from? I have one I am talking to, but wanted to see who else is out there. Looking for new, but not opposed to a used one if in good condition. I'm located in Georgia, but don't want to limit it to that region if the price is right. Thanks!
  9. Find my Font isn't helping me

    I've seen both, or at least close, on dafont.com - go to category "Handwritten" - type the text in the preview box. It shouldn't be very difficult to find one similar.
  10. Suggestions Trouble finding stock photos for 8' x 8' display

    Are there any GOOD resources/websites for ultra high resolution photos? I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am having trouble finding images with high enough resolution for an 8 ft x 8 ft trade show display. I need them to be at least 72 PPI, but the higher the better. Everything I've...
  11. Question Back-Layed graphics on Clear Acrylic

    I've printed on clear and backed with white, but I prefer non-adhesive photo paper laminated with double sided optically clear mounting film. It just looks better, crisper, more vibrant to me that way. Some say they can't see much of a difference, but if you put them side-by-side I can...
  12. Need Help Looking for summa cutter help

    I had to email a request before someone would call me from Summa. They gave me the runaround and then weeks later called out of the blue and wanted to troubleshoot for hours. I was in the middle of an install so I asked if we could schedule it for the next day or another time and I basically got...
  13. Suggestions Smooth Banner Material for Latex

    Update: I was going to order the Bantex but it would have taken over a week to get here so I went with the Briteline Roll-Up and it worked perfectly for what I needed to do. Only slight issue is it is very susceptible to finger prints so wear gloves. :)
  14. Kapco Graphics

    Wondering the same but for Kapco polyester film to be used in a banner stand.
  15. Need Help Looking for summa cutter help

    I still have issues with my Summa, but I have found it works best if I use the Illustrator plug-in to add crop marks in the design file then strictly use Winplot that it came with to send to the cutter. Not sure if the plugin works with Signlab, but doing that is the only way I can seem to stay...
  16. Suggestions for Temp / Short-Term Vinyl For HP360

    I know Briteline products seem to be hit and miss, but I absolutely love Briteline Duration X - IM3201X & IM3203X. I'm running a HP Latex and have never had a head strike with it and it's super quick to apply. On the other hand, Arlon DPF 4500GT was the worst thing I have ever touched IMHO. I...
  17. Clear Acrylic with Standoffs Corners Cracking

    We had a similar issue a little less than a year ago. Switched suppliers and haven't had problems since. We think they changed something in the way the acrylic was made, but I'm not sure what exactly was changed. I would suggest a different supplier and see if the problem improves.
  18. Suggestions Smooth Banner Material for Latex

    I've read through the threads, but wanted to see if anyone had a personal favorite for my scenario. I need: Latex printable Can be used in a retractable banner stand Smooth or very light texture Preferably matte Cuts clean (no loose fibers or strings when edges are cut) Blockout Writable (one...
  19. Worth "Fixing" older HP DesignJet L25500

    We have two used L26500s that were sitting for a while before we got them and they have been really great machines. It didn't take much to get them running, and are really easy to maintain. All it took for ours was new heads, ink, printhead cleaning kit and new tubes. It wasn't very expensive...
