But it still kinks during handling. Lamination is probably our best bet and would pay for itself.

I appreciate the responses. The printer is an Epson 40600. We tried using PSA vinyl once, but the customer left it rolled up in the heat for a while and said that there were issues with the backer coming off when unrolled and complained. Lamination might be the route we take in the future. I...

We have a new client that has started ordering 4 posters every week that are 60" x 96" printed on Briteline Semi-Gloss poster paper that is about 9 mil. Their art is heavy coverage with floods of different colors which really makes defects stick out if the light is right. We are struggling to...

Much appreciated. I will give that a shot. Most of our poster orders are between 10-50 and cutting them by hand is time consuming. We are using the exact same poster paper.

Interesting. Have you ever tried using flexcut?

That is disappointing. I was hoping it could be triggered with a command in Onyx.

We bought a Summa S2T cutter over a year ago, but never had any training, we just figured it out and read the manual. We mainly use it to cut vinyl, but wondered if it could help us cut down posters. We have Onyx Thrive and I am wondering if we could have it feed a roll of material through and...

We always struggled with the cost of offset presses since they would still be perfectly usable 20 years later, but we always figured on equipment to charge enough to pay the purchase price off in 5 years.

You also must consider the square footage cost of the building it is kept in, which includes any rent, maintenance, taxes and climate control. All overhead has to be accounted for.

Thanks. I thought so, but wanted some reassurance.

We need to print a sign and mount it on the back side of a piece of acrylic. We are going to use double sided adhesive to attach it. So people will be viewing this through the lexan and through the double sided adhesive. Do I need to use optically clear or will clear work ok? I know using...

I had suggested they let us bring it back to the shop and apply it using our laminator at no additional charge to them, but they weren't interested. Talking to them I get the feeling it is less about the money and more about venting frustration with their internal system where one person pays...

I suggested that, but she said the department head was unable to be pleased at this point and said she wanted a different contractor. She said they contacted the next highest bidder, but they said it would be a 3 week delay before they could install. Then today she says that they would go ahead...

It was a good learning experience.

We are a commercial printer that dabbles in large format for a few clients. We rarely do installs, mostly just print and give to businesses who install themselves. We had a University ask us for a quote on replacing a 6x7 foot map screwed to their wall. The previous map was on some type of...

These comments make me think that none of you guys have ever been around when an offset press was washed up. Now those are some fumes. After 30 years of running offset presses, the fumes from our 40600 doesn't seem bad at all. I am pushing 50 and have been around these chemicals my entire life...

Our print shop gets scams all the time wanting to order hundreds of banners that say something like "Cure Aids" or "God Saves". We contact them by phone and start asking details to get a quote going and after going back and forth a couple times they usually disappear. Not sure what their point...

I think it has a lot to do with the material. We have been running a S40600 for a couple years now and some materials scratch very easily, where others are fine. None are what I would call durable, but if something is easily scratching with two swipes of a fingernail, you should be looking at...

Yeah. Everything being worked on is kept on the computers SSD and then transferred to our RAID for storage.

I am running a 12/24 Core/Thread Windows 10 machine with 64GB of RAM. Ripping files in Thrive's output Que seems pretty quick, but if I run things through Layout Tool to resize or edit, it seems slow as molasses and sometimes just hangs before finishing. I always seem to have poor experience...
