  1. Canon iPF81000 for Floor Graphics?

    Hello Hive Mind, I've recently moved to a support role with in a larger company of print shops and I have a shop that is looking to do some floor graphics for in shop use. Normally I'd have no problem, I've done floor graphics on solvent, UV, and latex machines, except that is not what they...
  2. Customer Mask Requirements

    That sounds a bit short sighted, to be honest. I mean, I get to each their own but they're wearing a mask to protect you and your staff. Is there a reason you've made this requirement?
  3. Ricoh Pro L5160

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone had experience with the Ricoh L5160? I know it's a newer piece of equipment, but there are a few good gear heads on this forum so I figured it was worth asking. I'm in Canada and Ricoh Canada doesn't have an active demo model up at their head office...
  4. GlassApeel

    Wondering if any Canadian/Ontarian sign shops have used the white block out on windows? And if so, was it purchased from Grimco? I like them, but I've been having issues as of late and was looking for alternative suppliers. Thanks in advance.
  5. How to make this sign?

    Clear acrylic with full cover digital print on a frosted vinyl, installed with stand offs and caps over the screws.
  6. Designing for signs

    I've been in the sign industry for about five years - my first career after a number of years in sales/customer service at a retail level. I had a background in design that I had taught myself (how to use Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, and some basic gen ed courses taken during a career as a...
  7. how to roll premasked frosted vinyl

    Cut, but DO NOT WEED, the vinyl in question. Premask. Roll losely on a large diameter core. Reverse weed on site. It is 100% more PITA than weeding in the shop, but it's how my installers and I figured on doing something similar because we had so many issues with the traditional method.
  8. How to Determine Pole Depth of Pre-Existing Pylon Sign

    This! Call the municipality and get the plans. Failing that, the land lord would have these on file (legally, they have to, otherwise, the plans are on file at the city and you can get them there, just roll the fee into the service charges if the client doesn't have files - warn them ahead of...
  9. Is Flexi the only RIP for HP Printers?

    We used Onyx at my last shop to run our HP L260.
  10. Help! Onyx 11 RIP-Queue Keeps Crashing

    This is very much what we used to have!
  11. Help! Onyx 11 RIP-Queue Keeps Crashing

    Previously we were able to control the spacing left and right separately, and also the horizontal and vertical spacing between jobs individually.
  12. Help! Onyx 11 RIP-Queue Keeps Crashing

    So a full reinstall seems to have fixed the issues, however, I'm now missing a whole bunch of my settings. Most I can just reload/rebuild myself, but one that I am missing and cannot seem to find is the ability to shift things both left and right. Onys1 by showie posted Apr 30, 2018 at 3:36...

  15. Help! Onyx 11 RIP-Queue Keeps Crashing

    I've been having this issue for the last few days (since my system updated, which... I'm hoping isn't the issue because I'm not sure the last time this terminal was backed up as I'm still relatively new to this shop). We run an HP L26500 with Onyx 11 PosterShop. The RIP-Queue software began...
