  1. wash your hands

    now you’re just baiting me! Lol
  2. Onyx not recognising CutContour text layer

    I believe if you have between a 0.1mm and 1mm stroke set to the centre then it works as intended with no double cut - has worked for me for a year or so since switching to onyx - perhaps that’s a terminology thing? I know not to convert strokes to outlines or you’ll get the double cut either...
  3. Onyx not recognising CutContour text layer

    So, we do loads of jobs that tend to have unique numbering. This particular job is a run of 400 labels that are essentially two parts, the bottom part is the same throughout all the labels, the top part is a unique strap of text comprising of numbers and letters. I do the setup part in indesign...
  4. wash your hands

    But then what will I have for lunch?
  5. wash your hands

    Everyone’s been washing their hands vigorously since I said I’d wash their hands if they didn’t. Weird
  6. wash your hands

    Here’s the one I threw up in our shop. Good to get a nice picture of someone washing their hands to remind people to do so!
  7. Sending a print *then* cut job in onyx (with marks)

    It’s more of a backup than anything else, most of the jobs we run through the mimaki now are just print and cut, but in its old age it’s sometimes temperamental. I’d love to run these through the summa but the summa barcode basically means we’d only get 3 up instead of 4 as it needs about 1/2”...
  8. Sending a print *then* cut job in onyx (with marks)

    Got all that, not new to cutcontour, just new to sending a print and cut file in onyx to a printer/cutter. Been running a Colorado and a summa on onyx for a year or so using the barcode server so haven’t had to print and cut a job in one swoop lol. currently managed to get it to print and...
  9. Sending a print *then* cut job in onyx (with marks)

    So I’ve just switched to onyx on our mimaki. Managed to get a job to print and cut but it didn’t print the cut marks - just wondering if anyone can share how they have print and cut jobs set up on theirs? (It’s a CJV30)
  10. Thoughts on degassing

    What printer are you using? We ran a lot of 3551 on our mimaki - I followed at least a day outgassing (mainly because it took about a day to print a roll lol). But we did a fair few last minute signs that had minimal time before lam and never had any issues. There are a lot of factors that...
  11. Funny Video

    I just read on sky news (take from that what you will) that there’s a fair bit of social unrest brewing in Italy. Italy has a big cash economy of unregistered workers, a lot of which won’t qualify for any of the help the government is giving. Once they start running out of money things will get...
  12. Time for my morning rant. Terminology!

    This isn’t even an America thing, worldwide standard is width then height. I had a customer send in an 183cm x 100cm sign (exactly the same as they’d ordered before, just different dimensions) So I changed their layout, which was landscape anyway, saved the file to PDF, then had the file...
  13. Just don’t get this essential thing...rant

    It all depends on how the testing is implemented. Germany has a really low death % simply because they have tested anyone who may have it. Here in the UK we only test people that need medical treatment so our numbers are probably a lot lower than the actual figures. With the USA the confirmed...
  14. cov19 business owner liabilities?

    In the UK there’s section 44 of the employment rights act. The main part of point out being; “provides employees with the 'right' to withdraw from and to refuse to return to a workplace that is unsafe” Assuming if your employer can’t make sure you can remain safe at work (I.e. follow social...
  15. Just don’t get this essential thing...rant

    I’m keeping to the “is this job worth dying for” train of thought. So far not much has been so I’m currently in bed eating pizza
  16. Just don’t get this essential thing...rant

    I really don’t get it, the less people adhere to the rules the longer this will go on for. There is absolutely no chance of anything returning to normal until AT LEAST may. USA is now #1 with confirmed cases (albeit China has likely massively fudged the numbers). This will get a whole lot...
  17. What goes bad in a print head ? DX7

    Different profiles with the exact same results seems highly unlikely, that’s the whole point of having different profiles; as all media’s are different. try download some new ones and see how that goes, or bite the bullet and get a spectro. Probably cheaper than a new print head! (I don’t...

    No wonder we’re all short on tables, Gino has them all!
  19. Need Help Service/Maintenance manuals: obsolete Roland and Mimaki

    Is the $1 worth the chance? Usually eBay is your best chance for these things.
  20. What goes bad in a print head ? DX7

    Do you use the same print profile for all your media? (Assuming you don’t build your own). Have you tried switching profiles and checking the difference? Or even go to the manufacturer and see if they have a profile for that particular media?
