Something like this? We use something similar for glass. Except ours are double sided and padded. We made ours, but im sure some fab shop can put one together very easily.

That's entirely you choice how much you markup outsourced work. For example, we don't do labels. but now and then we'd get clients asking for labels and they're long term clients. So we'd put 10% on it and call it a day. All i did was ordered online which took me 5 minutes. labels came and my...

i wouldn't think so. (someone will know more than me) but look at it this way. The client is getting the exact same product for a different price. cheapest price will win. But the client doesn't know you're both outsourcing the work. So the client may just want the cheapest price and if your...

No experience with either. But as long as it can output an LAB colour value, it'll be good enough for out in the field type of work. As long as "out in the field" means quickly getting a colour reference to take back to the shop and match. I wouldn't rely on it for printer profiling though.

You can try. But there's machines out there that can do this. https://www.flexa.it/en/products/cut/roll-slitters/tge

I don’t think he does. Seems like he posts in any printer thread recommending something from the stratojet lineup with no regard to the topic. No updates for me. Colorado is running great currently, but Karibu S will likely be the upgrade.

some interesting reply’s so far. Everyone has different needs so it’s always great to see what people would lean towards. Myself, I’d go for a swissqprint nyala3s with white ink. It would cover everything we do.

Do you always have the need to spam post about stratojet? even in topic such as this one that has nothing to do with it? A lot of us are getting tired of the same post on every thread.

IMO, your approach is wrong. a well colour managed shop doesn’t have these issues. if client asks for sample to make sure colours are okay, well print their sample with their file. If client needs PMS colours, well print off a with a range of colours and use a spectrophotometer to pick the one...

This is just a bit of fun… If money was no object, What single printer would you buy for your shop and why did you pick it? Rules: - It needs to be able to run you’re shop for the next 5 years - your old/current printers cannot continue to operate.

Goes both ways. Windows scaling isn't great. But these days, most software works with the scaling just fine. only the odd, lower budget software may have scaling bugs. There was also a time this wasn't an issue when higher PPI monitors didn't exists.

Right click program icon - properties - compatibility - change DPI settings - select "override high DPI scaling behaviour - select "system" or "system enhanced" if system doesn't work. This solves 99% of all scaling issues. which is what OP is describing with flexi 21. Same issues presented...

What is your monitor resolution? It may or may not be a scaling issue which is a common issue with programs.

It would take forever. When i was in one of the UV printing groups (and discovered it's full of desktop uv printers) some would do braille on their mimaki JFX. would run 10 or more prints / pases over the stock using a 3 or 5 pass mode. same as running 10x boards on one of your slowest print modes.

That would make sense, But i was more thinking of the paper stock products.

4-6 weeks? Wow. if your turnaround times are so poor, those companies should be investing in better, faster or just more equipment... or people. or both.

Barely 2m of waste using the 2nd roller. it's about. 1m - 1.5m max waste. but you said if you're switching out media a lot? that doesn't waste anything when you're switching between stocks. Calibrating the stock... big deal. do it while creating a media profile - It's apart of printing. Full...

Not sure why you're answering a year old thread.... And also, where do you see material waste with the colorado? when it literally starts printing right at the start of the stock.

Your budget is tight. I would second using a Trade only printer to get started. This saves you money and saves you from buying crap equipment. Then you can see what equipment you need to invest in. In that time your budget will also grow. And also in that time, you can do further research in...

Even if you do managed to find one. Their not plug and play.
