Looks pretty awesome, but with a 3,200 price tag it better be.
We have been using various saws which leave a nasty edge and make a huge mess. Also, there is about to be a mutiny if I keep cutting outside on the break...
So I recently discovered vacuum wipe whereby the carriage goes over a glorified vacuum cleaner attachment that sucks extra ink from priming down into a hole somewhere. (a waste tank that I do not know how to empty lol)
This seems superior to the wiping with a lint free towel method...what is...
Bobby has done it again...
Being an impatient dummy I blew a tiny fuse on the main board of our Roland RS-640. I called Bobby up (at 4:45) and told him it was the F1 Fuse on the main board diagram. He called me back in minutes and said not only did he find this tiny thing on the diagram but...
Got a 30-40% clogged/who knows Epson DX-4 printhead...the part cleaner came in this morning already cleaned a huge amount of goo out of my glasses and am cleaning my keys now...just for testing..
Going to finish a couple prints and then throw the DX-4 into the wash...will report back...
May have been just me but my version of cutting master 2 kept crashing and was full of bugs...I had to restart Illy whenever I wanted to Reg Marks on something..
CM3 looks all modern and functions great.

A buddy from another sign shop (2 hours away..) contacted me and wants to pay me very well to come try to fix his Colorspan. Long story short my young family has had a rough beginning to the year and this would really help out.
I know from my short experience with Colorspans that I should...
I have looked into some sources on Alibaba and things like coro and banner seem to be at least half price as we get them delivered from a supplier.
Anyone have any experience with this? Hate to buy 500 sheets of coro to find that the flutes are too small or something.
There is the matter of...
Hello all!
Long story short we are burning through the ink. It is probably my profiles, I am fairly new to profiling.
We are running 6 color, 200 density in the Jeti GUI (probably too much) printing from Illy to Onyx 10.
I am torn between profiling through onyx or through the i1pro 2...
This little 13 dollar deburring tool is amazing. I know some of you already know this but for many such as myself didn't even think these things existed.
For those who don't know this tool smooths the razor/jagged edges of aluminum, alumalite, dibond. etc..after you cut them.
And unlike sand...
We run a Jeti 1224 it has 2 fairly high powered lamps...You can't really look directly at them but are they dangerous to my eyes? Like them reflecting off the media? (I'm doubting skin cancer is a major risk)
I mean I don't stand there and watch it print, but is has me wondering...Do I need to...
This is for a large multinational company and I am thinking we may not have the resources to do it in house...
Any suggestions?
1.2 Million 2''x12'' magnetics with fairly small text...Around 20k per week...
Anyone have any suggestions? Or have one for sale...I have absolutely no experience with a router...I just know we need one....where do I start?
:thankyou:
I'm thinking 4x8 size...to marry to our flatbed
It is just interesting to see how people change over the years, I feel so sorry for Brenda..Its like Frank ran over her cat...for 3 years... Tonya hates you and your phone call
Where or what would you use as a plotter cutting strip? It seems to me that 30 bucks plus shipping for a plastic/nylon strip is a bit much..
For Graphtec FC-8000
I have got our Jeti 1224 profiled to run 600x1200 18 pass for high quality artwork type stuff and 300x600 9 pass for everyday signage...
I'm wondering does it really matter in terms of longevity/scratch resistance...the 18 pass 6x12 really lays down the ink...and I have been leaning toward...
Our design computer fried itself last night and it is time for a new one...only option is windows 8
Anyone have any problems?
I hear it has compatibility options but they don't include XP like windows 7.
I've got 25, 8 foot tall 57 inch wide windows to cover in perf.
I've got the 64 inch perf coming...
I'm thinking go from the top to the bottom and leave about a quarter inch on all sides.
My co-worker which isn't doing the install...thinks I should go to the edge and then trim...I think...
I'm thinking a real thick vinyl that doesn't show the raised letters underneath and has an aggressive adhesive...
I'm sure I'm not the only one that has messed up a board or two with the wrong file or a smudge or something..
I don't know what brand of ink you guys use but It is damn near...
