What type of printer is it? What rip? What print settings? There’s a whole host of things this could be. Is it intermittent Or does it pause for the same amount of time each time? some details would be helpful..

The ones on the onyx media and profile download manager are usually good, plus they give you a preview at the different print qualities available. That being said, creating your own media profiles is naturally going to be a better option. The canned ones I’ve found are usually a bit more...

The advanced lessons start with witch and which witch is which

up next is your and you’re!

Pretty sad state the world is in that we need to highlight the differences between they're, their and there.

Try third party ink companies too. Even if you don’t get the ink you can still usually get cleaning fluid, swabs, alcohol and so on

Just making sure; are you using your own profiles? I’ve always found that my own profiles handle gradients much better than the canned profiles.

Yeah probably need a little more info, that and I converted it to £ and worked out my rough material costs so there may be some differences there. Even with vinyl on Coro my material cost would be ~£0.80 for that size, and with current £ to $ the $1.80 = around £1.50. So without vinyl and with...

My guess is that individual job is likely to be “profitable” but absolutely not worthwhile. The good news is, if they keep offering prices like that you’ll eventually get a cheap flat bed once they need to close up.

I don’t run an Arizona and haven’t run into this problem on a wide format personally, but whenever there’s problems with gradients on our digital presses and I’m feeling lazy I just rasterise the gradient and throw it back in. Seems to work fine. I take it the gradient is vector based?

Dunno if my way will help you but it saved me a lot of time before we switched from rasterlink 5 and couldn’t step up any cut jobs in the rip. so I save a CSV file with say 2500 boxes filled with a space (so they remain empty, just put a space in the first two boxes then duplicate as...

We’ve been getting a lot of HUGE quotes in for businesses running promotions when things start opening back up. Even if we get 1/10 of the stuff we’ve quoted I’ll be a very busy boy.

I’m from Scotland, I can assure you the Loch Ness Monster has Prime. Just like everybody else. back on topic, we buy third party inks for our mimaki, the company also sells cleaning fluid, alcohol, swabs etc and it’s MUCH cheaper than the proper stuff. I think the cleaning fluid went from £40...

Erm, what software are you making it in? Might be a little extra step but id probably step it up in indesign, I usually use data merge for that, even if it’s the same artwork but you can step it up manually. so make your desired sheet size, drop one artwork on, step it up as desired. Select all...

Try a firmware upgrade on the summa? That’d be my first test

I always found you had to save as SVG, open it up, save artwork to bounds, then resave for it to work. That’s In illustrator though (we don’t do many cut only jobs on that cutter so haven’t done it in a while)

Off topic but are you using summa cutter control/barcode server? Saves a lot of time! Assuming the job pictured above is a cut job and not a print and cut?

+1 for it being dodgy SVG files, had that happen to me a couple times

What jobs are you doing that need to be within 0.2mm? As you stated, it looks like the 0.2mm is within the accuracy parameters that summa stated so I can’t see there being too much that can help. In all honesty, if they gave me a cutter and said it’d stay within 0.2mm I’d be pretty happy...
