  1. S80600 Users: Do you print Red and Orange ink for outdoor use?

    We've had an s80600 for about 8 months now, great machine. Because of mainly reading on here about poor durability of R and O ink outdoors, we use an outdoor profile that omits R and O ink. I'm wondering how many shops do this, and how many shops use R/O for outdoor. And how have the R and O...

    Looking for the font for the tagline, "Delivering a..." Can't find a larger example of it either.
  3. looking to buy a new laminator

    We have a Kala, got it mainly for the ability to lam full rolls with awesome tracking, and also be able to trim off the margins with the optional slitters. Hands down it laminates and tracks perfectly, full 150' rolls. But the slitters are designed all wrong and don't work good at all. We...
  4. What's your swatch setup?

    Awesome, thanks for the info. Definitely will test out the other color spaces.
  5. What's your swatch setup?

    We are using sRGB color mode. Are there any settings in Onyx I need to pay attention to to ensure onyx is honoring this?
  6. What's your swatch setup?

    Here's an example. Have a good customer, probably 50 vehicles per year, and lots of different signs/decals. This customer really is 4 or 5 business, all different names/logos but use the same colors. Colors are burgundy light gray and black. When we got this customer 8 or so years ago, they...
  7. What's your swatch setup?

    But how close are they actually when holding them side by side. I totally understand that customers mostly wouldn't notice... With some test printing we can get them a much better match. Just would rather not spend the time dialing in all these colors if there is a better way.
  8. What's your swatch setup?

    1/2). We design in RGB and use onyx rip. I will check with the print tech tomorrow to see if the rip is honoring. This reminds me a another issue print tech brought up to me. He says that sometimes the rgb values will change on him when opening in the rip? We thought it might have something...
  9. What's your swatch setup?

    We have done this, but we found that the printed colors with their values don't really match up that well to the actual cut vinyl colors. With tweaking we can get them better or even an exact match. But if we are going to go through all the colors we want on a pallet and test print to our...
  10. What's your swatch setup?

    Looking to build a color swatch/pallet for illustrator that incorporates our go to colors for printing. Goal being easier more consistent workflow. Typically how we handle artwork is this: Any raster images: print as is, adjust in photoshop if necessary for brightness/color. Vector artwork...
  11. end of support for windows 7

    So I have to very similar machines, a few years old. I was able to successfully update the slightly older one to win 10, went smoothly. The second machine, got to the checking for updates like you mentioned, and blue screen errors galore. Got it back to win 7 without data loss. Unplugged all...
  12. Shopvox Down???

    Have been getting 503 errors for the last half hour. Not cool.
  13. Trouble Flex cutting (die cutting) on Summa S2T160

    Could you explain in a little detail how you are setting blade depth? Are you doing test cuts at 300 grams or full force to determine if it could cut all the way through? To answer your question, we are looking to do a run of about 1,000-2,000 per week for now. When justifiable we will...
  14. Trouble Flex cutting (die cutting) on Summa S2T160

    Thanks Phil, really appreciate the lengths you go on these forums to help everyone out. We tried the suggested settings of 1mm, 0.5 mm, and the cutting did seem to track better. But the finished edge of the decals are now, almost serrated knife like. You can feel and see the little ridges...
  15. Trouble Flex cutting (die cutting) on Summa S2T160

    Trying to dial in the flex cutting on our summa s2 t160. We are wanting to do larger runs of die cut stickers. Mostly smaller decals, 4"x3" on average rectangles with rounded corners, about .125" radius. We have no problem flex cutting these decals if the rectangle shapes have square corners...
  16. Epson S40/60/80 - Best reds and black

    That's good to know. We did something similar, printed test pieces and put them on a flat roof. Was only a few months ago though. I'm not even sure if the hysteria over short life span of the red and orange ink was more of a concern with the older generation of sure colors (s70)? Or if it...
  17. Epson S40/60/80 - Best reds and black

    Coca cola red, what are you all using for input colors to get your best deep red like coca cola red? Having trouble hitting this on our s80 without using red ink (we don't yet trust R or O ink for outdoor applications). Can't get that deep red look. Also curious what others have found to...
  18. Font ID Please

    Not sure if it's a garamond? Pretty close to bold condensed, but the bottoms of the letters and some of the serifs are wrong.
  19. Font ID Please

    Anybody know this one. I know I have this but brain not working today. Thanks,
  20. Best setup for high volume signs/decals

    Is this with adding a clear coat or liquid laminate?
