  1. Will they have to redo this when quality control comes through?

    I'm staying at Great Wolf Lodge, Grapevine TX which in the middle of a big remodel.

  2. Possible to use colorchange wrap vinyl on inside of glass to be seen from outside?

    I have a customer that wants to use some colorchange car wrap vinyl on windows but the catch is it has to be installed on the inside of glass to be viewed from the outside. Some of these vinyls are only colored/special effects on the from side so the standard reverse cut and apply to clear...

  4. Equipment Redundancy - Bad idea to rely on one printer?

    My Canon Colorado 1650 has been down for almost a week, I'm backed up with about 10k sq/ft to print and repairs could take a few more days. This is the first time I've been down for more than a day and the down time has made me realize it is probably a bad idea to rely on one printer without any...

  7. Summa S3

    Saw an ad for the just released summa s3 Looks like just some minor improvements over the s2, the 2 tool auto change (extra upgrade) being the biggest benefit it looks like. Hopefully this means Graphtec has something coming out soon
  8. Looking for slitter recommendations

    I'm thinking of buying a slitter, so far I've only come across the rosenthal slitter and a company from Spain that looks like it will be more expensive. I need something cheap for light/occasional use. Any other brands out there. Alibaba seems to have some but they look like they are more for...

  13. Tried canon Colorado 1650 max speed for the first time

    After owning the printer for over 6 months I finally got to print on a material with max speed option available. Tyvek Crazy how fast it is in person, quality at this speed can be sellable for the right application, this was uncalibrated and only slight banding which can probably be fixed with...

    I'm trying to print on Prestotex 17mil material, profile supplied by the material manufacturer.

  15. Summa F bed size question

    I plan on mostly cutting wallpaper panels on either a Summa F or a Colex, the panels 100" long on average. Would a longer bed be much faster/better for cuts this size, F1382 vs F1612 or SXC1717 vs SXC1732. There is a significant price difference between the sizes, would the bigger bed be much...

    gone is the 227" (or whatever) canvas size limit in AI v26, now can go 10x bigger to 2270" Found this out by accident and can't believe this is actually true. Just finished my first 1200" mural without scaling and other stupid workarounds the previous limit and all went well. I'm sure others...
  18. After a decade of Versaworks I tried Onyx....

    Onyx Thrive 422 and I have to say I was expecting way more out of it compared to free Versaworks. UI and rip time is better in Versaworks. 5 print queues in versawork are very convenient. but of course versaworks only works with roland printers. props to versaworks I always though other paid...

    Colorado 1650, Installed last week and training this week but I spent all day yesterday messing around with it and got some jobs printed. Super fast. Was a very tough choice between Epson 60600 especially considering you can buy 4+ epsons for the price but went with the Colorado after seeing...
  20. UPS Battery Backup for Colorado 1650?

    In my shop the power cuts out for a few seconds almost every month when it is raining hard, windy etc. I have all my equipment plugged into UPS backups that keep the printers and computers running in case of power issues.
