  1. Thrive

    Either I'm doing something wrong, or my license is messed up then. If I have onyx open on my PC, and go to install it on another PC... They zero it out to 0 rips during install and wont let me change it. If I close onyx on my main PC, re-open it on my laptop, it goes back to 2 rips. I...
  2. 700W owners: White alignment problems?

    Dumb question but have you done an alignment? I know it doesn't ask to do one when you put your heads back in, but things could go off. We find that every few weeks of putting them in / taking them out, we have the same problem and running a new alignment fixes it.
  3. Thrive

    There isn't really a difference, that's why I don't think upgrading is worth it. If you need to use it on two computers, you have to limit one computer, or you have to make sure you close it before you open it on the second computer... Very situational. At worst it should be that there is a...
  4. Thrive

    Interesting - I'm guessing they didnt discount it though, so its probably more than the upgrade to 221? Do you know the cost to upgrade from 221 to 422 roughly? I wish I had more than 2 rips because I constantly rip 100 files at once... and my CPU barely gets past 2% usage, having more rips...
  5. Thrive

    How much is the upgrade? Last time I checked...they wanted 4K to upgrade with 1.7K off...so it'd end up costing us 2.3K To upgrade to the newest version / convert to Thrive. Then our "Newer" license we did a convert from Flexi to Onyx...and that was only 1.9k. Cheaper to convert from flexi...
  6. Thrive

    The only downside is you split your rips for each computer. So having thrive 221 for instance...you can install it on 2 pcs, but then each PC is limiting to ripping 1 file at a time... massively slowing down ripping if you're ripping multiple files. In theory Thrive is good, but their...
  7. Need Help Graphtec Not Cutting in some areas deep enough but can cut deep enough in some.

    As mentioned, The cutting strip is probably the issue... Especially if you're cutting through the material it is cutting into the strip and not leaving it smooth. I find on the 9000 series it's a pain in the ass because the glue gets left behind. Buy strip from graft-tech, or grimco, remove...
  8. Aircraft graphics

    I was curious so I looked. It seems like many a years ago faa said you can put decals and logos on your plane, but you need approval for full wraps.... at least that's what 50% of the people who read the guidelines say, the other 50% point out it refers to "shrink vinyl" which is different, and...
  9. Aircraft graphics

    We do it all the time. We supply the vinyl and the aircraft company puts the vinyl on. They use a permanent vinyl - non air egress, and they never have a problem. We've probably done 100+ fire prevention planes with huge 6 ft by 10 ft decals.... on propeller planes, and jet engine planes...
  10. My 3D printer saved me $500 on my L360 power switch.

    When ours broke on our 560.... we needed a whole new screen as well. It was under warranty so we got it for free.... and had a backup screen incase something happened to ours, so I'm not complaining! I can see why HP decided to sell the part by itself... I bet they lost more on warranty...

    Throw down a piece of masking tape over top of the mark, grab a ruler and draw.

  13. Epson Support is TERRIBLE!

    It's always sad to see you guys down south posting about tech support. Things are different here - The companies (Epson, and others) Tried to take the techs / support away from the dealers... but that got shut down fast. Over here Grimco services all the machines they sell... So do all the...
  14. HP 630

    I asked about the enhancement kit, and I was told its being slowly rolled out and only being allocated to machines with problems right now... That was about 3 months ago. We have an Epson Solvent printer we print everything critical on, so I havent pushed it too much. I had the beta firmware...
  15. HP 630

    I still don't buy the length consistency being a product of high heat. . You throw some 3m diamond grade material in and it won't be constant either.... and there's no way in hell heat will stretch that material. We still can't use our 700 for wall murals with complicated patterns because...
  16. SAi license scam

    Try using it. It's just a wrapper now.... so zooming in and moving around is a pain since its emulating a mouse. I think it changed 6 months or so ago? Sort the Appstore reviews by recent and you'll see thousands of 1 star reviews of people complaining they destroyed the all. I used to be...
  17. SAi license scam

    Google chrome remote is garbage on phones now. It used to be great when it was a real app... Now that its just a wrapper for their website its garbage :( I haven't found a good replacement though...so Im stuck with it. It's great PC to PC though. Had to rant when I saw the chrome comment...
  18. SAi license scam

    Cant you just cancel your sub, and re-sub and not pay the $200? I had a PC die and had to reinstall it on a new one - But I couldn't.... because it was already installed. Well... I had an audit that needed my Flexi to work... so I thought I was screwed. I called in, and luckly someone was...
  19. Just In New Coloured Screws For Signage

    The only pre-painted we use is White. 99% of what we do is full graphics applied to aluminum, So silver edges dont matter. We use white when we're screen printing directly to the metal, but thats about the only pre-painted we use - And the customer supplies their own screws for those...
  20. Just In New Coloured Screws For Signage

    Robertson is the best. You cheap Americans don't want to pay the royalties to use it .. :p I hate Philips. It always strips, doesn't hold the bit as good so it cams out.... I try to only use Robertson's or torx, but it seems like torx isn't used for most things... so I'm stuck with...
