  1. How should I do this?

    That’s what I referred to in my original post. You can set how often it prints it’s continuous marks (I’ve chosen every 500mm). Then you get an option of having it read all the marks then cut the entire thing, read 2 marks then cut (panneling) or read 4 marks. It cut the first two then just...
  2. How should I do this?

    There is on the passenger side but driver side is the full 22’. I take it you’ve tried to get it to scan 2 marks and cut, scan 2 then cut etc? No joy? Funny watching it slowed all the way down for a change!
  3. Supply Chain Issues

    Today is the first time more new cases got reported internationally than from mainland China. I’m in the UK but there’s a good few European countries that have it now too. Thankfully we just switched supplies to one that makes their stuff in the UK. No worries here! Lol Wondering if it’s time...
  4. How should I do this?

    I have a summa S2 160T. So I have a 22’ long bit vinyl for a vehicle and I’m still relatively new to the summa for large scale cuts such as this - looking for input as to what the best method is vs how I would do it. It’s a fairly simple shape, not quite a straight line but a slight curve all...
  5. Need Help Colordao 1650 - Who has one and does wraps?

    I shall have a look tomorrow. What are you on?
  6. Need Help Colordao 1650 - Who has one and does wraps?

    honestly it’s mostly small stuff. My biggest grievance is that switching between wind and cut after each copy doesn’t quite work every time. Once I’ve printed a roll, hit pause. Switch to cut after each copy, load the roll then let it print. It’ll not wind and not cut after each copy. (I don’t...
  7. Printing Flags on Mimaki UCJV300-160

    We’ve been offered UV flag fabric for our Colorado loads of times. Never bothered testing it though but I know it’s out there!
  8. Need Help Colordao 1650 - Who has one and does wraps?

    Yeah I saw with the demo that the 1650 ink is more *inky*. We got the 1640 then they released the 50 about two weeks later. Naturally we were pretty p***** off as we’d have preferred the 1650, not to mention the value of the 1640 dropped dramatically once the 1650 came out.Still, the 1640 does...
  9. Curious how others would've handled this order/customer

    If I go to the shop and buy a tshirt then wear it 1-2 times a week for 5 months, Then it starts fading, I don’t go back to the shop and demand a new one for free, I throw that one out and buy a new one.
  10. Need Help Colordao 1650 - Who has one and does wraps?

    Is that US only? When we looked at switching our 1640 for the 50 they told us the ink was the same cost; or does it just use more ink?
  11. Need Help Colordao 1650 - Who has one and does wraps?

    Canon do like to charge extra then just say they give better service. I wonder where they’ll go next with the UV gel tech. They either have to go smaller or bigger, can’t see them getting too much faster very soon lol our tech hinted that they’re looking at making a smaller one when he was in...
  12. Curious how others would've handled this order/customer

    5 months is a whole lot of time to wait before coming back. Fair enough after the first wash but you’ve no idea what they’ve been doing to them in the 5 months or how often they’re worn/washed. I’d be telling them to pound sand. We don’t do DTG so also wondering if there’s any specific care...

    Any of you actually buy canon media? One of their sales guys told me recently that we buy in our material cheaper than they buy theirs lol
  14. Roll laminators vs flatbed

    Definitely need both. Simply put you need a laminator for laminating and a table for mounting. I’m not saying you can’t do either with both. Just the laminator will laminate 10x faster and the table will mount 10x faster.
  15. Need Help Free sites for vector graphics

    There aren’t any that are “free” in every sense of the word. A lot of the “free” sites aren’t for commercial use and you’ll get lawyered that way as per post #2. even the free font sites such as dafont, 95% of those fonts are for personal use only and you need to email/contact the creator for...
  16. Roll laminators vs flatbed

    Table is for mounting substrates but can be used to laminate, would only do that for small runs and there’s a lot of extra work. I can laminate a roll of vinyl (we’ll say 50x 38” signs) in what, 15-20 mins on the roll to roll? That 20 mins wouldn’t even be your prep for cutting out the laminate...
  17. Question Is my 360 a lemon, and should I buy another HP?

    To reiterate, you should go with a new HP simply because they sell them. :rolleyes:
  18. What equipment can you not live without? When to buy it

    We’re not quite at the stage of needing a flat bed cutter but are awaiting delivery of an XY cutter for roll stock. Can’t wait. Looking forward to never manually chopping a poster job ever again! Based on the rough speed of an employee cutting posters vs the XY, this thing will be like having a...
  19. Screen Print Yard Signs

    Fair enough a new member but it’s already been stated about three times in the above posts that you can’t sell anything without a MM
  20. Any used flatbeds? Fb500/700?

    I may be wrong but hasn’t HP set an EOL on these printers? Get one cheap now but the costs could skyrocket once inks and parts stop
