3M has no plans of getting rid of any of their product lines (besides their sandblast materials). Their current woes are the same as everywhere else: materials availability/delays (some of their resins come from overseas and other suppliers also dealing with issues), and low labor availability...

We've had to mix media brands with the current shortage, as in putting 3M lam on Avery product or vice versa. But we've never put one brand's panels next to another brand's panels, I do not think the white points and print quality, and air release pattern would ever match up that way. We have...

We really love the roll-to-roll cutting with barcodes. It has improved our workflow tremendously versus someone setting up the cutter and sending each individual cut file on each roll. It really does the work of an employee, freeing them up to work on other tasks.

FYI, The Windows 10 (automatic) updates have played hell with our Onyx/Graphtec communications. Beware of when it updates, we have had to roll back a couple updates to keep them communicating.

Here is a MotoEV Electro Transit Shuttle (9 passenger, hard door) that I just drew up. 10% Scale.

Are you able to pay more for an extended warranty? We like to keep our printers under warranty as long as possible as it results in faster repair times and less downtime. We're a printing company, not a printer repair company. If it's not printing, then it's not making us money today.

GCI will take care of you!

Purchase the Topaz Gigapixel AI and run it through that. Nothing else comes close, and it's only like $40 IIRC. You can now use a variety of settings / AI models to greatly improve your final image output.

Might want to replace those ribbon cables also, might have a little kink in them somewhere.

You will love it once it is set up and working correctly, but until then it'll be a nightmare. We almost returned ours before we got all the software (Onyx, Windows, Graphtec) to cooperate but now that it works it's amazing compared to our other plotters.

Fast food business has really changed since Covid hit and this recession started has made it even worse. I have two daughters currently employed, one as a manager (both also already put their two weeks notice in to quit) at a local TB restaurant. They get notifications on a crew app about...

We have Epson S60600 printers here and our most common rolls to print & cut are 54" rolls. We do print on larger 60" rolls often, but hardly ever print/cut them. Files that are larger print/cuts can usually be separated into if it is necessary to print them to fit a specific cutter. FWIW, we...

We also have a lot of defects in materials. We primarily print on 3M 180c-10 (unless 3m is out and we have to switch to Avery temporarily), and have a lot of damaged media and imperfections in the media. We have been using a lot of the SSU (non-latex) materials due to availability and the print...

You'll never miss that 1 nozzle. However, before your warranty is up you'll want them to replace the head.

What is your file built in? Spot colors or just cmyk?

Here is a template for a pull-behind food truck/trailer. 10% scale.

It's not in the same tab as the tiling, it is in the last tab. It is a checkbox that says something close to "Submit tiles as separate jobs". Also, our Onyx here is not trustworthy to edit a job's output size after you "submit/rip" it. We always re-rip the job if there is a size change, as...

In all reality, no two machines print exactly the same. Thankfully you have Onyx and with just a color scanner/eye you can go through the (less than a couple hour) process to modify and create your own custom profile for your machine. If you're used to using canned profiles, then you should only...

I think a lot of this is going on in our particular industry, which in my area is going through a huge boom right now. If we had the employees here we need we would probably be able to double our business this year, right now we just have to schedule projects further out and use a LOT of...
