All machines are meant to be running 24/7. They go into their own "sleep" mode where they don't take up much power - but it allows them to run critical operations such as cleanings. Doesn't even matter the technology... UV needs to stay on for the pressure vacuum / cleanings, solvent for...

Keep it on. You may want to cry when you see all the cleanings it does between prints, and its just spitting all that ink into the waste bottle... but would you rather waste a few hundred bucks in ink a year, or have to buy a new $3000 x 2 head? Thats the downside to solvent printers - It...

680 is easy to remove. It may leave behind some glue if it's a year old, but you can spray some glue remover in it and hit wipes off. We do full police car removals in under an hour when it's 680. 2000 was what we order minimum for free shipping... But I got it mixed. It used to be $500 but...

I already uninstalled cm5. I haaaate it compared to cm4. Cm4 took a bit to get used to... But I feel like cm5 is such a huge change for the worst. Unless a illustrator version comes out that cm4 did working for, I'm sticking to cm4

You can buy direct from nikkalite... I believe it's a $2000 minimum order, and you get it at like 75%, or even less the cost of other suppliers - Ours was half... We may get a bit steeper discount since we use 10-20 rolls a month, but you'll still probably save tons going direct.

Nikkalite is good, we use tons of it. However I'd never use it on a vehicle wrap - it's non removable.... And if you ever need to do a repair, or remove it, it'll cost ten times as much as you saved by not using a removable vehicle grade vinyl. We do 12" x 12" decals for one customer - it's...

You can use expired ink without worrying too much too. I wouldn't use something that's 6-12 months past expired... But I've known people who have and it didn't do anything to their machine. Look at the 260 - hp stopped supporting it a (few?) Years ago. You can still buy after market ink and...

I mainly use Vector magic. As mentioned...it does do some weird things, its not perfect. I only use it for the clients that send me a shitty image, get advised their shitty image wont look good blown up to a 4x8, and tell me to just do it - I figure a quick autotrace makes it a lot better than...

I installed CM5 on my art room PC... not ready to install it on my production PC (2023, with CM4). I get an error when trying to open it up.... I can open it from the program itself, but the illustrator plugin throws an error. I hate the new look from what I can see of it. It feels like...

This is what I did when I had the CM4 time out error. It fixed it - I was on windows though,so its a bit different than what the video shows... but you can likely figure it out pretty easy following his mac steps.

https://www.graphtec.co.jp/site_download/cm5/cm5_en_w.html CM5 supports 2023. Didnt know CM5 was out... installing now!

Have a photo? It comes apart really easy. I had to do a ton of removal for the take up reel setup, nothing tricky... Just unscrew it pretty much.

We have a recycling facility every other block. You can bring paint cans, ink containers it whatever you want to them, it's convenient. We do the 55 gallon barrel thing because we do a lot of screen printing and other chemical stuff - so we fill one up every year and just call it in. IIRC...

So, how do things work down in america? Over here Grimco / ND graphics / etc, the people that sell the printer and products have their own tech's and service the printers. Which is nicemmm because since they want to sell you media and ink, they make sure your printer is up and running as fast...

Yup. I've worked for small companies, and companies that employed hundreds of people - At every company they realized losing employees is part of the business. We've always paid for training...with a Caveat of if you leave within 6 months, you pay back the cost of the training - by the 6 month...

I trust cloud over local anyday. If you get ransomware, chances are they hit your Nas as well since your account has access to all the files. You can set it up so it backs up to a folder with no access... But still! With how cheap cloud is, no reason not to have it too

Did you guys enable Port trunking to get 2 GB instead of 1? I had to disable mine because the NAS CPU is weak... but my nas is half the specs of yours, so it should work and make it way faster. It's more of a load balancing...so if 2 people are accessing it at once, it'll use 1 port for each...

3m vinyl is one of the best for perf cutting... But anything that stabs material will lift it up when with the blade a bit. That's why I bought 4 extra pinch rollers and use 6... Cheap blades are great for perf cutting. Are you using a CE6000... or 6000 plus? Do you have a channel to cut...

every situation is different. Not everyone will have the kinda relationship our boss has with us, I get that. But counter argument - I still get sent to tons of training. I got sent to management training, I got sent to all 3 3m vit courses...ppf courses, I've been to Dinoc coursess... In Feb...
