  1. Opinion Name this banner material!

    Any ideas regarding the material in the attached picture? Looks almost like a jersey type material. For reference, banner is 3' across in the picture. Bonus points: Any chance of getting something like this that can be solvent or UV printed, or is this generally only a dye-sub type deal...
  2. Suggestions Adding slitters to roll laminator?

    Has anyone added slitters to their roll laminators? I know some come with them, including our ancient GBC Titan, but for the life of me I can't figure out how we could actually make use of them the way they're mounted. I figured I could just rig up some kind of OLFA blade on each side that's...
  3. Suggestions Installing wall wraps over small patches?

    We have a few wall wraps ranging from 3 panels to 14 panels that we were planning on installing this week at a client's facility. Turns out, when they removed all the obstacles from the wall for us they left a bunch of holes. We had other stuff to do today so in between projects I just hit the...
  4. Rant Summa GoProduce or Onyx Cutserver adding thousands of nodes??

    Long story short - I've just discovered that files that pass through Onyx/CutServer and are sent to our Summa F1612 / GoProduce are being ruined by adding thousands of nodes where they don't belong. Am I missing a setting in Onyx that says "please ruin my cut files and turn 4 points into 500"...
  5. Suggestions Simple/Easy-ish software for ADA sign/dimensional sign mockups?

    Can anyone recommend a good option for making ADA/dimensional sign mockups? I don't need any crazy Auto-cad features and don't need take-offs for manufacturing, just simply want to be able to mockup signs w/ some dimension. For example, playing around with multi-layered ADA signs and want to...
  6. Need Help Mimaki UCJV300-160 - White ink spill

    Came in this morning to find a nice puddle of white ink under the printer. We noticed a few small drips on Friday but it's obviously gotten worse over the weekend. I popped the back cover off to find some more large puddles and white ink all over the place. Any ideas what this part is and if...
  7. Question Can you technically use 2L ink bags on a Canon/Oce Arizona 318gl?

    Wondering if anyone knows if you can technically use larger ink bags on a 318gl? I know physically the ink tray is designed/intended for 800/1000 ml bags, but is it possible to use bigger ones? This is under the assumption that the larger bags are slightly cheaper than the 800ml ones.... I'm...
  8. Need Help Install instruction for Summa F1612 Carriage board?

    Does anyone happen to have install instructions for Carriage board replacement on a F1612? We blew our slot 3 a few months ago and now just blew slot 2. I have the board and the "instructions" that came with it are just a QR code that leads me to a dead end on a Summa website. Can anyone...
  9. Suggestions Creating reports for average invoice amount, total invoices per period in Quickbooks Desktop Pro?

    Anyone familiar with creating reports like this out of Quickbooks Desktop Pro? I'm assuming I could export data into a spreadsheet and create formulas to come up with the average invoice amount and count number of invoices for the quarter/year. Just wondering if anyone has experience with...
  10. Just In Shoutout to Indriani Tia for a new world record!

    This has be be the most spam crap posts I've ever seen in one day. Congratulations Indriani Tia for flooding everyone's feed with your garbage! Any last words before you (eventually) get booted? Admins..............any way to limit number of new threads in a time period? Have new members...
  11. Discussion Using stand/take-up off old Roland?

    Has anyone rigged up an old stand and take up reel from a Roland? We're about to scrap our old XR-640 (anyone want any parts/boards etc?) and I'm thinking of keeping the stand/take up to possibly use with our Summa flatbed cutter... not sure of the feasibility to re-wire the take-up to run...
  12. Suggestions Adhesive for bonding Gator Foam to itself?

    Long story short, we made a few showroom display panels for a client last week....built to their specs. Biggest panels were roughly 45" wide x 83", vinyl mounted to 1/2" thick gator foam. They spec'd a 32" wide wedge bracket/french cleat on the back, and spec'd that it be made out of the 1/2"...
  13. Well that's a first - router bit chewed through dust boot! (F1612)

    We were routing some 1/2" gator foam this morning (anyone else cut this stuff with a router?) and somehow the dust boot jammed when doing a sheet cut and the bit actually carved out a chunk of it. I can't wrap my head around how this is even possible. Other than the boot being chewed up and...
  14. Suggestions Hardware/install method for changeable leasing signs?

    We've got a few of these to build for a customer, who changes their own inserts. We're making 6-ish or so and they don't have very much turnover at all, so they won't be changed often by any means. I'm having a hard time deciding what to use to attach the changeable "banner" part - I was...
  15. For Sale Roland XR-640 parts machine for sale - any interest?

    Just figured I'd check here.... We have a 9 year old XR-640 parts machine, not sure if anyone has any use for it. We had issues with air in the lines then ended up unplugging it....so I'd assume head and all ink train parts are shot. (It's been unplugged for about a month now) Boards etc...
  16. Need Help Onyx Profiling help

    It's been a couple of years since I made a profile, and even back then I was no expert. (I know how to go through the "for dummies" onyx steps, but beyond that I'm clueless. ) We just had an Epson S60600 installed last week and I got right to creating custom profiles. I created this 720x720...
  17. Suggestions Add Canon Colorado 1650/M3 or Epson S60600/S60600L?

    So our daily driven Roland XR-640 is dead in the water and no solution in sight. Our only other roll to roll printer is our Mimaki UCJV. I'm looking at either a 1650 or M3 (CMYK) or Epson S60600/S60600L. Don't need/want white....already been down that road and have other printers for that...
  18. Changes to PDF Portfolios in Acrobat Pro?

    Has anyone noticed any recent changes to Acrobat Pro in terms of how it handles and prints portfolios? A common process we have used for years is to select multiple PDF's (from File Explorer), right click --> Combine files in Acrobat, then print using "Multiple" pages in print options. This...
  19. Need Help Losing details in background when reprinting files

    Long story short, we did some window graphics for a convenience store back in 2021. One window got smashed so we needed to replace just one panel, and thought while we were at it we'd replace panel below it since it was curling a bit. Reload EXACT same PDF into Onyx, print, laminate, install...
  20. Material used for service decals that can withstand being wiped with degreaser...

    Has anyone ever come across a need for service decals that get filled in with a permanent marker/sharpie and then get wiped down with a degreaser? Customer mentioned that the writing wipes off after their techs wipe the units (including decals) down with a degreaser...................... go...
