I know it wastes media.
This is what i do for light weight stock. i have a pre set size of banner and i tape it to the stock before loading it.
Only difference is that have the media profile set so i can open the lid and remove it.
If you use something like 250gsm PET film for pullup banners...
There is an easier solution.
Use a "leader"
If you open the draw, there's instructions with numbers from 1-5. that shows you how to how to put a leader on the stock.
this is for "load weak media"...
Simpy use another stock.
Then again, all the top brands all have white backing paper. I've never seen clear vinyl on clear backing material.
Only clear i've seen and used is clear PET film, but has no backing paper, so the colorado would have issues with it.
Yes you can, if you have onyx (not sure how to do it on other RIPS)
Well the easiest way is to print in HD mode. that's a fixed drop size at 6 or 7pl (the lowest)
You can manually configure the drop sizes in onyx but there's not enough density on 6pl at any other print speed.
It obviously comes with Onyx, but you have to pay if you need another licence if you already own onyx.. a little annoying.
They'd only encourage that is because their techs will know onyx better or they're onyx resellers which means they all specialise with onyx.
But Onyx & Caldera are both...
The problem you'll have is getting integration to work on all platforms.
You'll need to search online for print fulfilment software or something, get demos and ask questions.
Keep your $50k and outsource to a real trade printer like FireSprint.com.
Flatbeds are expensive. Maybe it'll cost you 50k for a cheap one, but maintenance will add up, running costs etc all play a part.
What? Of course you can talk to a human. I do all the time when i need help with something. They'll even call you to help resolve it quicker.
The chat has the option to talk to someone after the bot tries to help.
The colorado is on another level compared to Latex. Seriously apples and oranges.
It kills latex in every way except no white ink. that's all.
But we love ours. it runs daily, it'll do 16hr shifts etc.
Most problematic parts are your white ink pumps. once they're swapped over to a modern brushless version, they'll never need to be changed.
other than that, ours has been a tank.
Thrive is a network licence.
So you'll be able to plug the dongle in 1 PC and use it on any pc on the same network as long as the RIPqueue is running on 1 pc at a time
If what Balstestrat said is true that all new Thrive comes with 2 printer licences (4 RIP licences / 2 per printer) and 2...
I dont want to sound nasty or anything but have you seen what the running costs are for the machine you want?
ink cost?
maintenance? daily / weekly / monthly / yearly.
stock cost
stock waste
ink waste
etc
Well you won't beat offset quality on a 4k machine, let's put it that way.
do a search...
If this is a business.
Do the math.
Yes it might be fun doing it yourself, but it'll cost you more, it'll take you forever making any return from the machine + all that maintenance you'll need to do. It'll cost you more to run than you'll make on the stickers.
Outsource,
build your customer...
