This fade was after a year using an Epson 70670 with all inks in the profile. We started noticing fading and Epson just said "sorry our inks are not warranted for any certain period" and left us high and dry. I believe the newer 80600 inks are "better" but I sure as heck am not going to trust...

YES. The additional inks fade a whole lot faster. Different pigments used and are NOT warranted against fading by anyone.

I agree with the comment above to put a black border around the edges. Or, just do this one in paint instead of a print.

Posting the face's image might give us some ideas on how to better produce the end product.

Definitely print that on 3M IJ 680CR-10 then.

Reflexite comes in larger sizes and is a great bit easier to work with than the 3M Diamond Grade material. Does it "HAVE" to be that level of reflectivity? If not, 3M IJ680CR-10 works a lot easier over surfaces like this.

We primarily print on 3M IJ180c or CV3 (cast vinyl) here.

I'm going to bet that it is the media. When I've ran cheaper media in the past I've seen results like this before. We get ultra smooth crisp prints off of our Epsons.

Yes, we are laminating primarily 3M self adhesive wrap vinyl. We also run other things and even signs through the laminators to mount them. We run at 110 degrees with heat assist and get no silvering at all, you can run without heat assist and get very minimal silvering. The laminators go higher...

We love them here. We have three now. We run roll-to-roll all day long. Quick to learn and easy to set up. We haven't had any issues out of ours other than eventually you will have to replace the heating element, or maybe that's eliminated now... I think they got us a "upgrade kit" when one of...

Here's a 53ft Tanker template, 10% scale!

It all depends on your target market. If you're doing a bunch of non-commercial one-off stuff like motorbikes, I'd say 80600 as it does hit a bit wider spectrum of color. It is a bit slower, and the colors will fade over time but that isn't as important for non-commercial work. If you're doing...

Whoever said it was headstrikes, you need to talk to their boss. Look at the right one it has a "recessed square" in the top area. The middle one has little "holes" in the bottom center. Yeah, definitely caused by heads trikes.

Looks to me like the thin face of the head is collapsing inwards. I can't really tell from that photo where your nozzles are in relation to those lines but I'm betting there is something like the damper or ink pressure that flexes that part of the head and weakens it over time.

Awesome! Wish I lived/worked somewhere they were at!

We do not use Thrive, just regular Onyx (ProductionHouse?). But we have had to patch it TWICE in the past couple months as they release patches/upgrades, no versions older than a few months old should work well if at all; ours certainly didn't. Graphtec just recently started working with Onyx on...

If you're looking for an intricate stamp for leather, I believe finding someone with a fiber laser is the way to go to make the stamp face.

We mainly route plastics on our CNC. Look around at your local plastics suppliers on google, we have a lot to choose from here but it took us a while to find them all. Once you find them, stop in and talk to the sales guy. Get catalogs and or chip samples if you can. Ask if they have any...

Call Onyx directly, if you have the support agreement. I'd say you probably do, if you're running the latest version of Onyx (required for this to work correctly) and it was just released within the last month. If you're not running the latest version of Onyx, that is your problem unfortunately.

If it is not reading the barcodes there are a few things it can be, heck maybe even more, but try these: Check the scan level, if it is not reading it on level 1, try level 4. Are you sure it is the correct barcode coming out of Onyx? Are you SURE you're positioning the scanner at the correct...
