  1. Roland vs Epson for wall murals

    I have the standard. I've only.ran out ofmink while printing once... It just paused itself and asked.me to replace it, then it resumed printing. So I'm sure worst case, you could hit pause, put new ink in and resume. Not sure if it's like the 700 where you can just eject and insert mid print...
  2. Named Color Replacement to PMS in Onyx Thrive

    So, you should always be working with Pantones. As much as I hate Pantone right now...a referenceable color system is god like in our industry. This first way will always replace a pantone you tell it to. In onyx, Click Setup > Rip Configuration, color matching Table. Click Print Mode...
  3. Roland vs Epson for wall murals

    I've had it about 7 months now. I primarily do stickers, and canvas wall vinyl. It's my personal printer for my side business, I've done about a dozen wraps / vehicles with it..but most of it is stickers and 8 ft x 10 ft wall murals. My work got a latex 700 and I was going to purchase one to...
  4. Named Color Replacement to PMS in Onyx Thrive

    Not exactly what you want .. But you can create a spot color called "HDOrange" and then tell onyx to always change hdorange to a particular cmyk value. Same with pantones.. you can color match pantone 032, then tell onyx to always use those values for pantone 032. That's the "proper" way to...
  5. Roland vs Epson for wall murals

    https://photos.app.goo.gl/FCAuig2zALFg4SNV7 The resin is almost as much of a color gamut as an s80 I'm told - higher than latex and s40. Everything I've printed has come out fine and vibrant, and my blacks are pure black. We run an s40, 700 and the resin, so far the resins the most versatile...
  6. Roland vs Epson for wall murals

    Is the only thing you don't like about the hps the color shift? Look into the Epson r5070. It's epsons version of latex called.resin.... while the heads are user replaceable, they last 5 years and aren't meant to be a consumable... So no color shift and panel size is always perfect. Big fan...
  7. Which Flatbed Printer would you get with a extra $50k?

    According to their YouTube channel an 18 x 24 takes 3 mins to print on its fastest setting... So my guess is outdoor, not so great quality. So 100 sings would take you 300 minutes at the minimum - 5 hours to print 100 signs. I can print a 4x8 in 6 mins on our flatbed, so 6 mins for me to...
  8. Which Flatbed Printer would you get with a extra $50k?

    For 25k.... You can't even buy a Roland desktop flatbed. You'll have to look used for that price... And even still, finding a decent flatbed for 25k or under used will be hard. Flatbed printers range from 75-150k for entry levels
  9. Question sandwiching mdo with aluminum faces

    Why not just print on .081 aluminum? It'd probably be cheaper than .041 and a piece of mdo... And last forever. Your sign is only as strong as the weakest link... Which would be the spray on glue. Gluing wood to aluminum isn't always the easiest. If you want to go that route.... Sand /...
  10. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    I went to usa this weekend - still here as I'm typing! It seems like inflation has hit you guys really really hard. 12 packs of coke are on sale for $8.... 12 reg price. I came out of Fred Meyers with 2 bags of groceries and a floor mat and it came to $275! I used to be able to fill the back...
  11. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    30 years is how long the term is. The first 10 or so years is pretty much paying off the interest. You sign up for a 30 year with a bank - 5 years is the contract at whatever percent you agree to. Then after 5 years, you can stay with the same bank at the new interest rates... Or shop around...
  12. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    So the terms are usually 25 years. And so long as you don't keep missing payments the bank will extend it. But every 5 years the rate changes - for the past 15 years variable was the way to go... I always went fixed. This time I went variable. I'm going to lose money, but at least it's only...
  13. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    I don't think 30 year is possible here. 5 year is standard and you keep renewing it for 25 or 30 years
  14. frosted vinyl

    We just pull the whole frosted off the backer, sorry it with baby soap, the. Attach it to the window.. no hinging or pulling back. Super easy... We do 10 ft by 4 ft panels that way, then you align the top / left to the window and only need to trim the bottom and right. With the right mixture it...
  15. About to buy the HP 700w

    I will say this .. if you've had a latex before and saw what a pain it was to remove the leftover vinyl glue from the curing chamber... The 700 is super easy.. The whole bottom portion comes out in 6 screws. Traffic vinyl has a really thick adhesive that gets left behind, same with the high...
  16. Gans digital giving up on their media division...

    I did a search and didn't see this mentioned anywhere - anyone else hear about this? They reached out to us with some really good clearance prices saying their shuttering their media division. Kind of sad.. they had some great stuff at super cheap prices, and some unique stuff. UV Laminate...
  17. Inflation Versus Interest Rates

    You guys have long mortgage periods don't you? Over here we have to renew every 5 years. For the past 10 years I was on fixed, about 2 years ago I decided to go variable... Lucky me. I was paying $800 a month and now I'm at $1,300 a month.. so $500 increase. In a way I'm glad I'm on...
  18. About to buy the HP 700w

    Ah, so I'm supposed to waste 5 ft to tape it to the take up reel, then another 3 ft of printing to make sure the panels will print evenly... 5% of a new roll every print? :roflmao: sometimes it feels like they want to be kicked for their solutions... I haven't had a tech in to look at my...
  19. About to buy the HP 700w

    I saw it just today! I dont run the printer much as I changed positions... I only play with it when I'm bored. I just checked... and it looks like the other operator only did an update via the firmware menu, so while the printer says its up to date, its on 26.22. Just downloaded 33.22... I'm...
  20. About to buy the HP 700w

    To be fair the Epson Resin takes just as long to start a print as the Latex does. And while the control panel is more responsive... I find it more glitchy. Run out of ink during a cleaning? I put new ink in and it just gets stuck on please put more ink in... only way to fix it was to reboot...
