Honestly, they did a really bad job of announcing the cancellation. The cancellation email was vaguely titled "To All Registered PRINTING United Expo Attendees" after they had sent out an email titled "Why the Show Must Go On" several days earlier. They wrote a whole article about how they...

Hey guys, we just bought an air scrubber for our UV printer, but we're not 100% sure where to physically install it. Right now we just have it set up underneath the "home" station, with the idea that it'll suck up all the ink being misted from the print heads every 5 seconds. I've noticed...

The company that owns miamisignsupply is MSS Technologies, LLC. They filed for dissolution 7 months ago, and they're currently listed as inactive. Unfortunately I don't think you're getting your money back realsignguy.

It's been very difficult for us as well. Here in California, there's an epidemic of people getting hired for a few months and then getting themselves fired to get back on unemployment. So they'll work hard for a few weeks and then start half-assing it until they get fired. Rinse and repeat...

Close the program completely. Right click the program's icon and hit "Run as Administrator." See if that helps prevent it from crashing

Hey GiveUsSigns, We had the same problem with our Summa and our reps had no idea how to fix it. We were trying to use dashed lines as perforations/perforated cuts on our products, but they always turned into straight lines when imported into GoProduce. This is the only solution I was able to...

We had this error with out flatbed Summa. It turns out we had several double lines in our cut file. AKA two cut lines on top of each other. So it would crease the material, and then when it was time to cut it, it would just freeze and give us an "unexpected error has occurred." Maybe double...

I wouldn't go with a recruiter. You'll still get minimum wage-type applicants, but at a premium because the recruiting firm will have to take a cut of the paycheck. On top of that, unless you're working with a specialized recruiting firm that knows about the sign industry, they have no idea what...

Our printer uses Onyx and prints a barcode and registration marks along the X axis. Then we transfer the media to our Summa cutter, it reads the barcode, scans the reg marks and cuts. But we ran into a problem when we started using 4' x 8' sheets for the first time. Our cutter can only read...

Way too steep for me. Plus we've been misled by the Esko salesmen several times throughout the process, so we're going with Summa. Nice! that's good to hear. We're gonna be using it mostly for corrugated sheets, cutting foam inserts, cutting and creasing folding carton, trimming art prints...

Thanks for the info! Are you happy with your Summa so far? We've demo'd both machines and they seem pretty much identical in terms of speed, tools, capabilities, etc. The esko is just ~$25k more expensive.

Hey guys, We're looking to purchase a cutter and we've narrowed it down between Summa F1330 and Esko X24. The sales rep for Esko said something very weird about Summa: He mentioned that the Summa cutters have a frame build out of wood instead of metal, and that's why they're so much cheaper...

Hey Parrott, would you mind giving the price you paid for that X2 model?

The plans they gave us recommended a 12.5' x 23' work area. That seems extremely tight so we're gonna expand that quite a bit as several people here have recommended. Storage of the full sized sheets is the reason why we're considering pre-cutting. It'll be a huge hassle getting those giant...

Hey Gino, this will be a true flatbed with a 5' x 10' bed. It's a Vanguard VK300D.

Thanks for the picture jfiscus, that's really helpful. We've been an offset printing company for the last 20 years and we're just moving into the digital printing world. So we're still trying to figure out the best workflow layout. We're going to pair our flatbed printer with a Summa cutter...

That's exactly what we were planning. A mezzanine for substrate storage on top for easy access with the forklift.

Our warehouse isn't climate controlled, but our offices are. We're planning to build the flatbed room next to the offices and run an HVAC hose to the room.

Well we have an open warehouse, with forklifts moving in and out, lots of dust coming in during the day when the gates are open, and the temps inside the warehouse can reach up to 115-120 degrees F during the hotter parts of summer. We want to create a 20' x 30' (roughly) room to fit the flatbed...

Hey guys, we just decided to go ahead and purchase a high-vacuum flatbed from Vanguard. We have about 8 weeks until it gets here so we're going to build an "indoor" room within our warehouse to house it. Does anyone have any experience in "flatbed-proofing" a room for a flatbed printer? We're...
