    Welcome! I have no info about the printers for you, but i wont be using UV for wraps. Use ecosol or latex.
  2. Inventory management:

    Ours is visual at the moment. Its on my list to work our a nice inventory system, but because it's not crucial, it sits on the back burner. The visual system works well for us at the moment as everything has a home, and you can just walk around checking all the boxes if they're full or low...
  3. Need help matching window tint

    I'd probably ask a glazier to come out and check. unfortunately the Usually most tinted glass is the same spec. We just got glass replaced on our factory, 20 years old, the tinted glass looks the same as the old. Pretty horrendous the the idiot behind the phone was useless. should have at...
  4. Adding ecommerce

    Worth the costs, we run it, we started on the basic plan and just kept moving up. Great thing with OPS, if it doesn't work, they'll make it work. Or if it's a feature you want, they'll either add it to the list for the next update, or you can pay for them to create it for yours (if they can)
  5. Bar Code Software

    2 steps back. What do you plan on using to read the barcodes? Mobile phone? Ipad? barcode scanner connected to a PC? Barcodes only store small amount of digits usually 12. up to 48 if using Code 128. So when scanning a barcode, it's usually a single number. When scanning, you need to scan...
  6. Hi, Newb with a software question

    Had a similar convo on another forum, While im not against alternative software brands, sometimes it's easier to use industry standard software. In this case, it would be Adobe Illustrator. Why? Because there's a lot more info out there, and more support. And you can find an older version from...
  7. Separate PC or RIP PC for roll cutter (Graphtec) - Larger shops

    With the FC9000, when using TCP/IP it's connected directly to onyx cut server. The simple operation of the FC9000 is: - load media etc - Scan Barcode (with onboard scanner) - FC9000 talks to cut server, establishes connection, find file and starts cutting. Realistically, user doesn't need to...
  8. Separate PC or RIP PC for roll cutter (Graphtec) - Larger shops

    Yeah more of along the lines where i was going with it. I have a few older dell thin clients i bought recently, i was planning to use that either on windows (if it doesn't struggle) or RDP into a VM on my server running Onyx cut server. But was wondering what else people do. I have others i...
  9. Separate PC or RIP PC for roll cutter (Graphtec) - Larger shops

    Over the holidays, we've moved to a larger place (1000 SQM) and now tools are grouped and spread out in sections / stations. We currently use the RIP Pc with Onyx x22 with cut server to run the Graphtec. What are people doing when running 1 or more Graphtec's away from the RIP PC? I was...
  10. Design with the Actual size of an object

    do it to scale. 1:10 1:20 etc. it's a vector, they will scale with no resolution images.
  11. Software Help RIP Recommendations

    Later versions of Onyx didn't include flatbed cutters. It's just an added licence to use flatbed cutters. You can have as many as you like (from memory) Roll cutters are included.
  12. Software Help RIP Recommendations

    That's quite standard with a any rip. Each printer requires a licence as you need more RIP engines. The RIP engines are adobe, so adobe licences them out to Onyx and Onyx licences them out to the customer. Similar with the flatbed cutrer licence. Not everyone wants or needs it so it's not...

  15. 2023 wrapup

    This use to be us in the earlier days. We had some make shift systems, we used Asana, Trello etc. But noticed we never used it how we wanted and half processed the jobs. At the same time we had to manually enter it into Xero, and anywhere else it needed to be entered. We found when we moved...
  16. 2023 wrapup

    This works best when you doing it for your employees for them to reference how things work. For example, we have QR codes around various equipment etc that link to a page with the essential info. Could be the Graphtec, and it'll show our default settings, which blade holder is for what...
  17. 2023 wrapup

    Changes we made this year: (mostly software for us) - A huge investment into automation software. Our prepress is now fully automated which has saved us a ton of time. - Removed some subscription based software that wasn't essential and moved to self hosted, open source alternatives. Things...
