Depends what you need it for. We have about 4 different combinations when it comes to floor graphics. We have basic stuff, that’s used for hard floors, this is the cheapest, doesn’t need laminated and still has an R12 slip rating. Lasts ~6 months with moderate traffic and we’ve had a few...

Yeah nobody is gonna do that for free. Honestly this should be a very basic thing to draw yourself.

This. Canon made a big thing about being able to print 159 sqm/hour on our Colorado but I haven’t even bothered to make profiles for it on anything other than cheap banner. The print is horrible and washed out looking. Not to mention crazy banding. (Could probably fix the banding but no point)...

I only asked because we have a Colorado that can literally print 16x faster than our old mimaki but still use the mimaki every now and then for small jobs while the Colorado is doing larger runs

Worth asking; does it print well at any quality? Can’t it be in operation as an overflow printer? Or find a different use for it?

I’d go for an XY cutter as previously mentioned, we got one a couple months ago and I’d say it’s cut somewhere between 10,000-20,000 posters/vinyls/signs/banners so far. It’s done the work of about 8 employees in a fraction of the time. As far as fotoba goes, think of that as top of the line...

Sounds like you either need to just bite the bullet and sell the printer, take the loss and move on or you need to lawyer up and prove that the printer doesn’t work as advertised.

The problem is this will vary from customer to customer. Even ordering business cards (we do all our digital printing in house) on our online ordering system they always go for the cheapest option (300gsm uncoated) and then wonder why they aren’t shiny etc. Had someone complain about a banner...

Sounds a lot like a reprint to me unfortunately

As i said in my post, we have a (free) script for indesign that does this. Seems they can do it all in indesign

Sounds a lot like you can automate pretty much all of this in indesign. If you set up the file correctly you can merge photos/text into the file. there’s scripts that will fit the text to your text box size maybe a master page for the cut marks? Depending on the marks they should be on the...

Way too many variables here; if it’s not our materials, we don’t offer a warranty as we can’t guarantee the materials used are any good and can’t even go back to the supplier to resolve any issues.

member since 2014 and still don’t know you can’t advertise without a merchant membership?

I’ve always found slowing the speed down a bit helps but have also found this is a problem. I take it buying extra pinch rollers isn’t an option?

I haven’t tried but if there’s not a Mac version of summa cutter control then I’d guess there’s your answer. Have you looked at their website?

Yeah canon gave us 211 with our Colorado

We had the canon/oce version of thrive and it wasn’t. Dunno if that’s just a canon specific thing though

Depending on the actual licence you have, your licence may not support ICC profile creation. That happened to us

Wide Image Solutions really trying to master the art of being a merchant member without actually being a merchant member..

It really depends on how much you were running the machine but when we figured in the costs, we could have bought a new print head every 4-6 weeks with the money we were saving on OEM vs third party inks. We’re still on the same head since the switch but it saved a LOT of money. Enough money...
