Nope. Still unplug and reboot when it happen.

We do our own ''frosted vinyl'' with our white ink capability. We tried almost everything that is optically clear. Most manufacturer will use pet film, the inconvenient is if there is a crease in the material, there is nothing you can do about it. From all the material we tried, the 3M 8150 is...

I have a HP 700W. If the image on the second surface is not exactly the same you see the print on the other side with the sunlight. We have tried the 5 layers print with the black in the middle but it take way too much ink and time. Drytac make a blockout vinyl with a clear adhesive. We print...

I'm in Canada. I use Voicemeup.com but almost any IP service will have those options.

We have an IP phone service with a virtual assistant. Every calls are recorded and could be sent by email to save it in the customer folder and CRM. Each person in the shop have their extension and the call is send on their office phone + the cell phone at the same time. So I don't give my cell...

I like the idea. In my case, it's just cut vinyl. I will give it a try.

I have a keencut. I cut faster with knife and ruler. Did not use it for 2-3 years now. The royal sovereign electric trimmer is cool. I played a couples hours with it and did not like the inaccuracy. I have a fotoba digitrim, but it does not work for this application. Flatbed cutter, I wish...

I would like some recommendations to cut premasked vinyl. Right now, I just do a weed box around each decals and use this to cut with a ruler and knife. It work well but when you have over 200 units to do, it take a lot of time. Is there any way to do it faster?

check in onyx if you have a pressure set. If so, it will override anything setup in the cutter directly. I run with caldera and my setup is to whatever the setting directly on the cutter.

Welcome from Montreal. I've also started from my home over a decade ago. I've bought a house in a rural region and had large enough space to build a shop (we don't have walk-in). Not having to commute to work is a very plus.

Depending of you intent of use, drytac polar chrome is pretty cool.

We just did a temporary window 30ft wide X 14ft high. Cheap removable vinyl with lamination. Price was at 2.40$/sqft (material only) and we almost lost the job.

If it's an interior wall, we are at 7$/sqft including material and install (design is extra). And we lost some jobs at that rate. I'm in Canada and material is more expensive here compared to the USA.

Summa if on top of my list since I'm already used to how they work. So I assume the learning curve will be simpler. Could you elaborate on why the summa is better since you have both of them?

Flatbed cutter is on my future list too. But I still wanted a roll cutter. For the flatbed, colex is on top of my list. But kongsburg seems interesting too. But that is for 2-3 years from now.

I use caldera. Workflow with my current summa d160r is perfect. I was told few years ago the camera was not compatible with mac/caldera. I'don't know if it's true.

No camera then. I have white ink capability. So I can print white for the mark if needed to. The take-up seems a good feature tho. I don't have time to stay in front of the cutter to pop the vinyl.

If you don't mind sending me a quick video of your workflow with diecut (I want to see the speed and final result) and a video of the take-up, I would appreciate it. I use the cleancut blades for years now and really like it. If you have absolutely no problems doing diecut, I think I will stick...

I'm looking to change my summa d160r for a new cutter that will mostly be used to make diecut stickers. Since I already have a summa, my instinct was to go with the new s3t with maybe the camera and take-up. The graphtec seems to be a good option too. So what do you recommend and why?

I can't do either. Pads are already a couples years old. So I don't think direct print would hold up. If they were brand new, I would check to sub-contract the direct print.
