  1. Versa...Works or VersaVacation?: Why Is My Print Head Wandering Like It's on Vacation? Versaworks - versauv leaf - 12i and leaf2 -200 - unacceptable t

    Are you sending both print 1 and print 2 in the same 'image' to the printer.... or to the printer is it just receiving 1 large graphic to print? I have seen our 700w do what you describe when I send multiple posters in the same image - but if I let the printer determine the gap between images...
  2. Can't see eps.?

    if you get it to work, I recommend opening everything and saving in a current format (if you still want things from the CD)... 12 years is getting a little long-in-the-tooth for a CD, not to mention the slowly changing formats...
  3. Rant Summa GoProduce or Onyx Cutserver adding thousands of nodes??

    I use Onyx a lot... I haven't run across this yet. But there are a lot of settings and you can tell it how complex to convert the curve into a cut path... I just tried to duplicate anything resembling your problem - no luck. But I have had really good luck talking with the Onyx team - they...
  4. Looking for Guidance on Sign Permitting in New York

    1) (from Google) " In New York City, a sign requires a permit if it's larger than six square feet in total area or if it's not painted directly onto a building. Signs must also comply with the NYC Construction Codes, the NYC Zoning Resolution, and the Rules of the City of New York. Here are...
  5. Summa S One D120 vs. S Class 120T for High-Detail Contour Cutting?

    the physical world has not changes - mechanically a 10 year old plotter can in-theory be just as accurate in cutting as a new plotter - HOWEVER, what small wear items have warn in the past 10 years that no one ever thinks of changing? Though for 90% of all plotting jobs, the 10 year old plotter...
  6. Epoxy Resin OVER Latex

    I'm not sure about the much larger pours - but I print stuff on the HP700W that my wife uses in resin jewelry... both UV and and regular resins... she has never had an issue with delamination from a graphic. I think it sticks to the latex just fine. A bonus is that you will not have to let...
  7. Summa S One D120 vs. S Class 120T for High-Detail Contour Cutting?

    No matter what you decide, the biggest area where you will see increased accuracy is in the operator - using tips like the final blade adjustment is always in the extend direction, even if you need to retract first so the net is a retraction. (think about the way helically inclined planes mesh...
  8. CM4 - hairy tabs on one side of sticker

    ... you can also add stability to the cut image by staggering the rows. (indent the even rows by half a sticker) this will give a lot more stability to the perfed media....
  9. CM4 - hairy tabs on one side of sticker

    ... there is nothing special here - if you are using the perf cut you will get tabs as you are not cutting through the paper there. ANY perforation after tearing will have some artifact. That being said, you can reduce the tab quite a bit. a lot is based on your patience and how meticulous...
  10. I've been thinking about including these with all printer orders as a gag. What do you think?

    I like the humor ---- I have one of those cables on a mail meter. I am not sure exactly what they are doing with it, but it connects 2 units that are also bolted together... looks like a normal USB-printer cable, but only about 6' long. (between the Chinese made laser and the Oce's we run...
  11. Should we transition to a dedicated RIP (Onyx vs. Caldera)?

    we setup cut-only jobs through Onyx all the time - just treat it like a print job and the cut file is created the same. Now need to actually print. pm if you need more details.
  12. Should we transition to a dedicated RIP (Onyx vs. Caldera)?

    the workflow will be much smoother, the switching between layout, in-position, cutting, color matching functions.... just about anything from the same platform - no switching programs, no making sure you can move the needed file between programs... just take the artwork into Onyx, get it...
  13. More then us -- problem with Latex 630????

    you didn't pay them in full did you? we do not sign off on payment until a device is printing to the advertised specs for a set amount of time (operating for 1-4 weeks depending on device- if all else fails, the net30/60 gives excuse to hold funds).... we let them know in the original contract...
  14. Best Canvas that doesn't need Laminating

    ... just sayin' ... with the latex you can put an overcoat on-top of the image. I have not seen a solvent printer that does this... maybe not as durable as an actual laminate, but absolutely more scratch resistant than the aqueous on the required substrate.
  15. Should we transition to a dedicated RIP (Onyx vs. Caldera)?

    ... so are you an amateur or are you a professional? the freebies seem to be best for the amateurs... though occasionally you find a tinkerer who works professionally as a sign maker and wants to tinker with the freebies - Onyx is very good, (so is Flexi). Get a good subscription with enough...
  16. Best Canvas that doesn't need Laminating

    I liked my old Canon 7300... it was aqueous and awesome for canvas prints - but they were not super durable. the coating to allow the aqueous ink to work will eventually fail. But I have some nice family portraits that have lived inside behind glass that still look great at year 13..... We...
  17. What wide format material do you use for product labels?

    What label are you trying to duplicate? the best and most intricate labels I see around here are for the Wacky Tabacky groups - they seem to use vinyl and a textured laminae... not really thin. printing to a cheap 2mil vinyl will give a thinner feel... Some labels are printed on a paper...
  18. New printer advice

    ... the 700 and 800 HPs have better color consistency that the older latex - something to do with the better/longer curing area. Keep heads fresh and calibrate often. And these still have the benefit of no off-gassing - straight to laminating.
  19. What is your experience with the HP latex printers

    We LOVE our 700w. We have had a 700w for 2 years now. It was a bit rough in the beginning as supply issues caused some 800 parts to be used in 700s -- at least that is what HP told us when it kept blowing out printheads. Within 2 months they had everything worked out on ours... (and I am...
  20. how to make this effect with flexi or adobe

    How is your airbrushing? all this new digital stuff can work an make it quick and very inexpensive but you lose a lot of the sweat and soul that used to be in the graphics - besides, if you brush your own original letters, no one will be able to find the digital font!
