  1. Canon Arizona 1300 Flatbed printing

    Hey there Sign makers - for any Canon flatbed printers, does anyone know if "dual origin enabled" mean being able to print the same batched files in dual zones or different batched files - batch group 1 and batch group 2, one in each zone.
  2. Drain ink on HP FB 500 Scitex Printer for dissembly

    Does anyone know how to completely drain the ink from an HP FB 500 Scitex printer? We emptied the waste container but I suspect there is still ink in the lines. Getting rid of the printer and replacing it with an Oce Arizona.
  3. Replacing printheads on HP FB 500 Scitex

    Not sure if I dare ask but does anyone have a good video on how to change out a printhead on a HP FB Scitex printer?
  4. External Monitor for HP Flatbed 500

    Howdy All, has anyone added an external monitor to the HP Flatbed Scitex Printer? The darn touch screen is so small, it's hard to distinguish between files and I have more than once printed the same file twice, whoops.
  5. Blurry edges/overspray? on Window Perf vinyl

    I seem to be getting blurry edges while running Briteline Window Perf 65/35 on our HP Latex 570. I did a printhead clean, alignment, checked ink levels, increased to 16p @ 110 and am still getting soft edges. Anyone experience a similar outcome?
  6. Cutting paper pattern on Graphtec

    Howdy All, Happy Wednesday, Was wondering if anyone has a good "paper or media" recommendation to use on a Graphtec plotter. Occasionally we make perforated paper patterns for flat mount acrylic letters. I'm currently using a Briteline photo paper since that is our stock paper for posters but it...
  7. Briteline 60/40 Window Perf woes

    What the heck? Just when you think you have Briteline window perf dialed in, it chokes on you and you spend the next 2 hours tweaking -and burning through yards of material. Just last month I had no issues with several perf orders, today it's just not happening - buckling, striking, tearing at...
  8. 3M Digital Vinyl Cores and Labels

    Has anyone had issues with 3M Digital Vinyl cores? Over the past year more often than not, I have had the cores bend and crush making it less stable to stand on it's end (even with the plastic end cap). The bent cores folds inward and catches when loading it onto the printer spool end. In...
  9. Dumb Question

    I have a dumbo question, if onyx quits will it cancel my print if I restart it? I just started a print that will run for 4 hours and my boss used onyx to send a different file to our flatbed printer, when he tried to rotate it, onyx quit. He then said, "I'm going to step away from the...
  10. How many continuous hours of printing?

    Hello All, At the moment I'm running a mural print 1080" x 12'. It took 5 hours to run 11 panels, and ended up with 2.6' left from a 50 yd roll. Jeez, cutting it close. I'm curious, how many continuous hours have you all ran your printers in one run? BTW I'm using an HP 570 Latex printer.
  11. Color Calibration

    Two part question: 1) I typically calibrate our printer whenever I run vehicle wraps, murals, long lengths of solid color, customer requests test prints or whenever our HP 570 Latex flags me. I've also been advise by one rep to recalibrate every time we change materials, which could be 4 or...
  12. Tracking a WIP

    Just out of curiosity, how does your production manager track orders? We use Corebridge and I find it extremely cumbersome for tracking orders in our WIP. Because everything is broken down into parts, it will not generate reports sorted by production stages ( Export/Printing, laminate/cutting...
  13. Have you ever?

    Accidentally grab the wrong roll? I just laminated a piece of IJ180 with 3M 8150 (cast digital vinyl) thinking it was IJ8515 cast lam. Has anyone goofed like me? Both are cast, would it hold up? It's for a box truck.
  14. Track Inspiration4 as it orbits the Earth

    If anyone is interested you can track the orbital path of the Inspiration4 crew. Go to N2YO.com and type in Inspiration4. You can even see it at night without a telescope (on a clear night), look up your location on the N2YO site. Super cool.
