  1. Colorado or not

    Does indeed sound really interesting at that price point/size. I wonder if they have distributors up in Canada.
  2. News Save $ on JetBest Ink

    Haven't people learned yet, that if it's too good to be true..................... 3rd party ink is cheap as it is. You're focusing on the wrong end of the equation.
  3. The longer I'm in this business the more I believe that nobody who runs for office should be allowed to have the job.

    How true/sad is that. Can't say I've ever come across a politician I liked or trusted, in either US or Canada.
  4. _

    Sorry to hear about losing your big contracts, I feel for you guys. We lost our biggest customer when covid hit and they decided to bring production in house. (Not blaming them, or covid. Just a business decision they made) Our sales were way down during covid (mostly as a result of losing our...
  5. _

    Oh man what a train wreck. Even with all the back-peddling and deleted posts, that was still a brutal read. To the OP - if you're struggling so much with your sales, time to find a new product/market. You're selling copyright decal kits at a "non-profit" rate - what do you expect, seriously...
  6. Replacement Printer

    Good point, reliability and access to support is a huge consideration. We bought our Oce Arizona 10 years ago, sight unseen and knowing there weren't any techs anywhere near us and that they would have to fly out to service the machine. In that 10 years, we've never had to fly out a tech other...
  7. Need Help Mimaki UCJV300-160 - White ink spill

    The printer was installed 3.5 years ago, so definitely not recently. I've already received and approved a quote from our dealer to replace both pump assemblies - they recommended changing both while they're at it to avoid the second one going in the near future. Pretty common apparently as...
  8. Replacement Printer

    We like our Epson S60600. You won't find a straight answer to the question "what is the most popular printer", everyone has their favorites and reasons why. Personally I wouldn't touch HP products with a ten foot pole, but that's just me.
  9. Yellow Ink issues

    Agreed. Looks like ink isn't curing/drying properly at first glance.
  10. Need Help Mimaki UCJV300-160 - White ink spill

    Came in this morning to find a nice puddle of white ink under the printer. We noticed a few small drips on Friday but it's obviously gotten worse over the weekend. I popped the back cover off to find some more large puddles and white ink all over the place. Any ideas what this part is and if...
  11. Hello freinds , best wishes for 2024 !

    I have a suggestion! Read the rules and get a Merchant Membership if you're going to sell yourself. That is all.
  12. Mimaki UCJV RIP CMYKWWCLCL ICC profiling

    No problem, I hope you're able to achieve what you're looking for! I find Onyx has an odd way of recognizing the spot channels and behaves quite differently with the UCJV than it does with our Oce Arizona flatbed. They obviously spent a lot more time and effort with the drivers for the Oce...
  13. Mimaki UCJV RIP CMYKWWCLCL ICC profiling

    Not exactly what you're asking..............but we have been able to successfully create custom profiles for our UCJV CMYKLcLmWW for Onyx, using an i1. Took a tech a full day to get a layered profile to work (cmyk+w or w+cmyk) but since then it's been working fine. I would imagine/hope it's...
  14. Question Acceptable size for banner

    Good call - I'll have to give that a shot. I find it's mostly Corel-built PDF's that always have a .05 margin or so, have never figured out how to eliminate that. I'll have to do some experimenting.
  15. Inventory management:

    I'm in the same boat, need to come up with some sort of SIMPLE inventory management system that doesn't create a part-time job to maintain. For the most part we keep sufficient inventory levels for our most common materials, but since covid the whole "just in time" approach has bitten us in the...
  16. Question Acceptable size for banner

    Yeah quicksets are great. We've got one similar to yours. One issue I find is that a lot of times (even our in-house generated files) PDF's have a hairline white margin around the print file, which ends up being included in the Onyx-generated bleed. Have you come across this/found a workaround?
  17. mimaki eco solvent uv direct print on HIP vinyl for docks on lake

    Why not? Laminating (especially in this application/location) would be the logical thing to do, regardless of if it's direct printed or solvent printed.
  18. Is this an Arkansas thing?

    That's just cruel! It's like hell froze over here. It's been -40 with the wind for last few days, even colder in Alberta. (I think it even hit around -75F there recently) Finally got our first dump of snow last week but it's been too damn cold to go out and play.
  19. Onyx not showing job in preview window

    Weird. Can you compare all the IP addresses on physical printers match what they're set to in Onyx? Possibly some kind of firewall issue blocking communication between RIP station and printers? Just throwing ideas out there. Have you tried calling Onyx support? They're usually pretty good...
  20. Media for subsurface acrylic application

    We've used 3651 clear backed w/ 651 white for hundreds, if not thousands of panels and have never had an issue. You would think being more economical/calendared films they wouldn't work that great but they do. Only time we ran into an issue was with glass plaques mounted almost horizontally...
