  1. Summa Barcode Workflow - Cutoff After Each Job

    I prefer cut off because I can deal with the job as it’s being cut. I am however toying with the idea of getting a take up for the summa then cutting the labels into *customer sized* sheets on our flexa cutter after. Though it wouldn’t be set up for that so would likely need to be taken back...
  2. Vinyl on Corri board

    Going to assume it’s corrugated plastic? We use some pretty cheap vinyl for this stuff and have never had issues with it peeling at the edges - probably an application error?
  3. 3M Prioritizing N95 Masks Overseas

    Also, the UK death figures ONLY count people that died in hospital. We don’t count people that have died in care homes, at home etc so I’d guess the real numbers are pretty gruesome.
  4. Summa Barcode Workflow - Cutoff After Each Job

    Probably won’t be too much help but it’s definitely achievable in onyx so should be around there somewhere. what may be of help, is it isn’t on the cutter itself or even in the summa cutter control. It’s in onyx cut server (so essentially it’s part of the cut file? It has to already be...
  5. 3M Prioritizing N95 Masks Overseas

    The UK and USA were both a bit late to the party. Which is ironic as now we have two of the steepest death curves - as countries were fully locking down the UK actually had the idea of herd immunity and just done a bit contact tracing. Also, we weren’t monitoring any incoming people and still...
  6. Mimaki cjv150-160 black dusting printing

    Have you tried printing unidirectional?
  7. 3M Prioritizing N95 Masks Overseas

    Imagine the scenes if the UK and Canada were diverting the masks to themselves. The twitter man would have a meltdown
  8. Need Help Mimaki CJV150 Missing 1 Nozzle

    There might be a page about that in the maintenance manual. You’ll need to flush the machine then I believe there’s a part you need to lock the head In position. I believe it’s fairly straightforward
  9. Mimaki cjv150-160 black dusting printing

    Could be a bit crap under the head (fluff etc) that’s wiping as it prints? try turning it to uni directional instead of bi and you’ll be able to tell if it’s an alignment issue
  10. Summa S160D Read all marks then Cut

    Yeah. As frank said, there’s the option to read from barcode to barcode, read 2 marks or read 4 marks then cut. It’s worth switching around sometimes depending on job length. We use the opos panelling for the larger files so it doesn’t need to track through the entire sheet in order to check...
  11. Need Help Mimaki CJV150 Missing 1 Nozzle

    Try just doing an over night nozzle wash, set it up, then once the head is soaking in the liquid just unplug it. Leave that overnight. I take it you’re following the correct maintenance daily/weekly? Is there any sign of some fluff etc on the head? One missing nozzle shouldn’t really be an...
  12. 3M Prioritizing N95 Masks Overseas

    To quote the orange man; "We need the masks, we don't want other people getting them” The whole America first thing may prove popular with his following but I cant imagine this will help with his standing in the international community in the short or long term.
  13. Question how to automate cutting paths on a vector image

    I probably wouldn’t even do an action for that, takes about 30 seconds. The results will be quicker but you’ll still likely have to go in and screw around with the nodes on some joins
  14. 3M Prioritizing N95 Masks Overseas

    Everyone’s in the same position internationally. Scrambling for the scraps of PPE and ventilators. I just hope next time there’s such a crisis the world is better prepared. I do however feel (I’m from the UK, If that helps). That these items should be dealt out in the order that they were...
  15. How low will it go?

    First time I’ve seen it below £1/litre in the UK for AGES. Gonna stockpile that next to my TP.
  16. Need Help Finishing out mesh banners

    If you’re buying mesh banner with liner just print, peel the liner, hem as usual and eyelet. Only extra step is peeling the liner.
  17. We don’t laminate our signs. Thoughts?

    Actually I’m from Europe, and my company prioritises quality over cheap materials. You don’t get it. If you try compete with these online companies and make pennies per job. That’s on you when you’re working flat out and struggling to pay the bills. Work smarter not harder. As Gino said...
  18. We don’t laminate our signs. Thoughts?

    The reason these companies can go so cheap, is they bulk buy EVERYTHING and they run industrial machines, which are generally cheaper to run. Hell even a flat bed means it’s just material and ink instead of material, ink, vinyl, laminate. Then they mostly have automated systems and ordering...
  19. Latex 335 won't go to sleep

    I had the opposite problem on one of our machines (not a latex). It had a wake up/turn off procedure set for when we were likely to be in, but every time it turned on it’s internal clock got knocked out a bit. so I’d turn it on, wait for it to head up. Then if I forgot to send stuff it’d turn...
