You had me at hot crack fill. Maybe boy genius from NYC can design some sweet illegible signs for my buddy's paving company too.

I'm not familiar with cheap Chinese printers, but the other option would be for you to buy a spectrophotometer, learn to use it, and create profiles and run calibrations yourself. This would cost more than $2500 and would take significantly more time, but you would then have the luxury of being...

I would find out exactly how up to date their drivers are for that new printer. When we first got our UCJV300 - Onyx had JUST started supporting it and it took us a full day with a tech to create just (1) custom profile. (At our expense) It gets complicated when you start introducing spot...

I kinda get the impression that the cost would be prohibitive for making signs / design elements on those things.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing. Back to printing stickers I go........... :roflmao:

I personally prefer owning software. Especially when it comes to Onyx Thrive. Every few years when they add valuable features we'll upgrade if we see fit. Last time we upgraded to 22.5, it came w/ a year of Onyx Advantage so I'm hoping that will cover "free" upgrade to v24 when it comes out...

Awesome, glad to hear! I've never used that method before but figured in theory it should work. Tutorial video would be sweet!

Could you not create multiple artboards (one for each window pane) and then arrange them with proper sizing and spacing for mullions, then export all to PDF?

Why not? I edit them all the time. Bring them in to waste less material, change sheet size etc. I've found that as long as you have enough marks you can do whatever you want with them.

That's exciting!

Agreed, but don't forget that new models usually rely on users to beta test them, then iron out the kinks. Faster version of the UCJV300 would be nice. We've considered switching ours over to dual CMYK to speed it up a bit as we barely use the white.

Sweet! When is v24 expected to be available...?

So you through cut the letters on your laser then glue in place onto backer panel? Is there any risk of doing it this way vs hogging out a thicker sheet?

Weird. Never had that issue with the GoProduce plugin for marks, and use it quite a bit. They start off being locked but once unlocked they stay that way. If you're exporting as a PDF it will ignore any locked layers?

My advice is to read the hundreds of threads here that cover this exact topic. Everyone will have their own personal flavor preference when it comes to brands. If you truly want print/cut, you'll be limited to either Roland or Mimaki. Personally I wouldn't buy any of Roland's new offerings and...

Without knowing what you're actually charging for these, if you think you're not making enough and wondering if you should raise prices, you probably should. Factor in all material costs then multiply by 2.5 Factor in your 50 hours of labor etc and multiply by your hourly rate If that total is...

Why use a gloss laminate then scuff it up to make it matte? Why use coroplast for something like this?? I'm so confused.

Similar to what MikePro suggested....you could try masking the whole thing then weeding.

You're welcome. Here's a quick video regarding the workflow: They're using a newer printer and version of Versaworks, but the steps are the same on older units and version of VW.

Care to elaborate? Do you have white ink capabilities? Is a design going to be incorporated or just one solid finish? Why isn't frosted being considered?
