Welcome from Omaha!

We love our graphtecs.

We sell about 50% of what we buy in material. So a 675sqftft roll of material will yield about 350sqft of sellable product after waste for various reasons. 95% the waste is from the drop skeleton and webbing setup for efficient use of labor and resources. Load times for full rolls, or partial...

I'll ask about the drop detectors. We do have alot of automation in preflight. The issue is, we can print the same file on our Durst printers with Durst RIP, our Konica Minolta, or Brother Copier, or look at it on any screen, and there is no magenta drop shadow. Only on the Colorados. We're...

We have two persistent errors with all 3 of our Colorado M series printers. We have not gotten a solution out of Canon for these whatsoever. They send techs out weekly with no resolution. Curious if any of you have found a workaround that run these? 1.) Error 11526. As you can see, my...

We run that as our low surface energy vinyl. https://www.firesprint.com/low-surface-energy-gloss-decals/

Ground shipping is free on that order BTW. Thanks!

I use GPT alot. Multiple times a day. I have learned the best way to utilize it is like talking to a pretty well educated intern. All for documentation and written content, no artwork or anything of that nature. My process often starts with me asking it to create an outline of the idea. Then I...

This is going to be unpopular, and I’m not condoning it at all, but 99% will be ai generated within the next couple of years if the current trajectory continues. It will be nearly perfect as well. The little errors and issues will get resolved one by one until you can’t hardly tell the...

I agree with what others have said, but don’t undervalue yourself here either. Working with you and being appreciated at that level isn’t something he’ll find at a company with full benefits (in most cases). I have people working for me that I don't deserve either. A growth mindset, and a...

Yeah, the service contract is nuts. Hard to justify unless you are really running them.

Interesting. I'll have to look into this. We have pretty good airflow in the shop in general, but we have not noticed any smell hardly anything noticeable at all around the printers. We do have regular air quality inspections, but not since the M5Ws, so we'll have to check again.

We have 3 M5Ws. We have a tech here twice a month on average with some downtime. Definitely have to get the service contract. They're great, but they honestly have the highest downtime of any equipment in our shop. We've gone about a month recently without a tech visit which is the longest we...

Welcome!

Welcome! Run it every day if you can. Printers want to run. That’s my advice!

Sprint and Fall are our busiest times. Summer is steady. Winter is slower.

This is temporary for us, we're working on bringing it back with a switch to a better material for this. Likely late February!

Welcome!!

As others have said, you need an SDS drill. Like a bosch bulldog. We have the Bosch bulldog, and also the Rigid 18v SDS. Both work really well. Either one is about 50x more effective than a standard hammer drill. This isn't an exaggeration. Not cheap, but a lifetime tool, and good bits will last...
