  1. Need Help Reading Onyx Barcode on Colex Sharpcut

    Greetings all. We've recently added flat bed cutting permissions to Onyx to give us the ability to tile long mural runs and cut on our Colex Sharpcut. Works exactly as we had hoped. My question is the Onyx barcode and what we need in order to scan at our Colex and automate our process even...
  2. Vehicle Wrap Templates

    Greetings all. For the past 7-8 years w previously purchased a subscription from ImageClub10 where we had access to US and Euro model vector templates, as well as access to stock imagery. We are having difficulty communicating with ImageClub10 to renew our subscription. We're curious to know...
  3. need a wholesale to print me some decals

    I was curious to know which material you are using? I'm in need of 1 yard of a brushed aluminum vinyl for a one-off sign, but I haven't seen one that specifically says latex or uv print compatible.
  4. Does anyone here have experience with type II wall coverings?

    My apologies, we actually used Korographics 'Abaco Beach' product not Dreamscape. I don't know the precise thickness off the top of my head, but it was pretty thick and ran great on the latex machine. We rotated every other panel to alleviate any shading/edge-to-edge color issues from panel to...
  5. Does anyone here have experience with type II wall coverings?

    While at my previous employer, we did a large branding project and ran 30ish rolls of Dreamscape off of our HP365 with no issues whatsoever. We then liquid laminated in-house as we decided it was most cost efficient to purchase the liquid laminator vs outsourcing as it was pretty even from a...
  6. Need Help Lamps on Vanguard VK300

    As it turns out, we have a faulty chiller on the machine which is the reason the lamps keeps cutting out. When the temp gets over 50° C the lamps just shut off. Basically we can run 8-10 sheets, wait 10 minutes or so and start again. Definitely not the best way to get this large run done. We'll...
  7. Need Help Lamps on Vanguard VK300

    Our print operator started experiencing issues today printing .040 styrene on our VK300. The print would be dropped in, start printing as it normally would, then the lamps would cut out, then come back on at the end of the print. We're having to stop every 10-15 sheets and clean the...
  8. Vanguard Flatbeds VR5 & VK300 - consumable tracking?

    I heard from Vanguard today that the only way to track consumables is for the operator to manually do it as they're running the jobs. That seems ridiculous. The HP Latex machines, our old HP550 flatbed, and the Arizona one of our operators has used in the past all had easy access to some sort...
  9. Vanguard VR5D - Lamp Adjustment

    Greetings! We have a VR5D and are experiencing an issue where the lamp timing is off, causing a small portion of the print (3-4") to cure differently, thus giving it a different sheen. Has anyone else had experience with this before? I am sure it's a lamp timing issue, but have no idea where in...
  10. Need Help Tab feature for routing PVC letters on Colex Sharpcut?

    We have noticed that the vacuum doesn't seem to be as strong as it should, and have a service call into Colex to address that issue. Do you know if there is any such feature available within the software to add the tabs?
  11. Need Help Tab feature for routing PVC letters on Colex Sharpcut?

    Good afternoon! The company I work for is relatively new to the large format field. We are a traditional offset and digital printer offering large format capabilities. A team of us have been brought in to grow our large format divisions offerings and we've inherited a Colex Sharpcut. At my...
