  1. Question Can you technically use 2L ink bags on a Canon/Oce Arizona 318gl?

    Wondering if anyone knows if you can technically use larger ink bags on a 318gl? I know physically the ink tray is designed/intended for 800/1000 ml bags, but is it possible to use bigger ones? This is under the assumption that the larger bags are slightly cheaper than the 800ml ones.... I'm...
  2. Need Help Install instruction for Summa F1612 Carriage board?

    Does anyone happen to have install instructions for Carriage board replacement on a F1612? We blew our slot 3 a few months ago and now just blew slot 2. I have the board and the "instructions" that came with it are just a QR code that leads me to a dead end on a Summa website. Can anyone...
  3. Suggestions Creating reports for average invoice amount, total invoices per period in Quickbooks Desktop Pro?

    Anyone familiar with creating reports like this out of Quickbooks Desktop Pro? I'm assuming I could export data into a spreadsheet and create formulas to come up with the average invoice amount and count number of invoices for the quarter/year. Just wondering if anyone has experience with...

  5. Discussion Using stand/take-up off old Roland?

    Has anyone rigged up an old stand and take up reel from a Roland? We're about to scrap our old XR-640 (anyone want any parts/boards etc?) and I'm thinking of keeping the stand/take up to possibly use with our Summa flatbed cutter... not sure of the feasibility to re-wire the take-up to run...
  6. Suggestions Adhesive for bonding Gator Foam to itself?

    Long story short, we made a few showroom display panels for a client last week....built to their specs. Biggest panels were roughly 45" wide x 83", vinyl mounted to 1/2" thick gator foam. They spec'd a 32" wide wedge bracket/french cleat on the back, and spec'd that it be made out of the 1/2"...
  7. Well that's a first - router bit chewed through dust boot! (F1612)

    We were routing some 1/2" gator foam this morning (anyone else cut this stuff with a router?) and somehow the dust boot jammed when doing a sheet cut and the bit actually carved out a chunk of it. I can't wrap my head around how this is even possible. Other than the boot being chewed up and...
  8. Suggestions Hardware/install method for changeable leasing signs?

    We've got a few of these to build for a customer, who changes their own inserts. We're making 6-ish or so and they don't have very much turnover at all, so they won't be changed often by any means. I'm having a hard time deciding what to use to attach the changeable "banner" part - I was...
  9. For Sale Roland XR-640 parts machine for sale - any interest?

    Just figured I'd check here.... We have a 9 year old XR-640 parts machine, not sure if anyone has any use for it. We had issues with air in the lines then ended up unplugging it....so I'd assume head and all ink train parts are shot. (It's been unplugged for about a month now) Boards etc...
  10. Need Help Onyx Profiling help

    It's been a couple of years since I made a profile, and even back then I was no expert. (I know how to go through the "for dummies" onyx steps, but beyond that I'm clueless. ) We just had an Epson S60600 installed last week and I got right to creating custom profiles. I created this 720x720...
  11. Suggestions Add Canon Colorado 1650/M3 or Epson S60600/S60600L?

    So our daily driven Roland XR-640 is dead in the water and no solution in sight. Our only other roll to roll printer is our Mimaki UCJV. I'm looking at either a 1650 or M3 (CMYK) or Epson S60600/S60600L. Don't need/want white....already been down that road and have other printers for that...
  12. Changes to PDF Portfolios in Acrobat Pro?

    Has anyone noticed any recent changes to Acrobat Pro in terms of how it handles and prints portfolios? A common process we have used for years is to select multiple PDF's (from File Explorer), right click --> Combine files in Acrobat, then print using "Multiple" pages in print options. This...
  13. Need Help Losing details in background when reprinting files

    Long story short, we did some window graphics for a convenience store back in 2021. One window got smashed so we needed to replace just one panel, and thought while we were at it we'd replace panel below it since it was curling a bit. Reload EXACT same PDF into Onyx, print, laminate, install...
  14. Material used for service decals that can withstand being wiped with degreaser...

    Has anyone ever come across a need for service decals that get filled in with a permanent marker/sharpie and then get wiped down with a degreaser? Customer mentioned that the writing wipes off after their techs wipe the units (including decals) down with a degreaser...................... go...

  16. Keeping CNC/Flatbed cutter parts and consumables organized

    Just wondering how you guys keep your collets/bits/tools/knives etc organized for your CNC/flatbed cutters? Our workbench is a mess and it's impossible to keep track of what bits/collets/settings to use with even common materials. We're using a Summa F1612 and GoProduce so at least I can store...
  17. Composer 4.0 + USB to serial/parallel cables + Windows 10 = possible?

    I recently had the bright idea to upgrade our old computer that basically only drives our Edge 2, HS15+ and Summa D120 machines. Old machine was Win7 and we were running all usb cables for everything and it worked. Tried to install the plotters and edge2 this morning on new (Windows 10)...
  18. What to use for dowels on hanging banners?

    What are you guys using for dowels on hanging banners? (Hoping to hear from anyone that does these on a regular basis) We're about to start a project that will have a bunch of smaller banners (2' wide x 5' high) and a slightly larger banner (12' wide x 4' high). They'll all be hung above high...
  19. Need Help Issues w/ Mimaki UCJV

    We've been having issues with this thing for last couple of months and I'm getting close to throwing it in the dumpster. Print quality went from fine for 2 years to super inconsistent and constantly having drop out, ink starvation and contamination, banding, streaking etc. I replaced captops...
  20. Suggestions Graphics card a must for new workstations?

    I'm getting a new IT company to put together some pricing to upgrade some computers and our network etc and they're asking if we need a graphics card on the one computer we're replacing. Main use will be for Composer/outputting to Gerber equipment, maybe some light Corel (vector) use and...
