    I would like to integrate a design feature into the new website I'm building for the business. Are there any recommendations that you all have? I've see Realtime Designer, and InkXE online but haven't requested a demo yet. The other option is to hire someone to code it for me. Thanks for the...
  3. Old HP L25500

    Is anyone parting out their old HP L25500's for parts? Is there any value there and is it worth the hassle? I was going to sell the unopened ink and heads on ebay and just get rid of the machine.

  5. Meals on Wheels Subaru Wrap

    I just got back from a local body shop and they have a Subaru with a Meals on Wheels wrap campaign. We will need to replace on door. Before I recreate the art does anyone know who produced the original run? The car is a 2018, so it may have been a few years ago.

    Forgive my ignorance. You are saying that you have bought third party routers (Kress AMB) and have it running on the Summa F Series. These routers interface with the control board I'm assuming to adjust speed and the like?

  9. Photo Library Recommendations

    We've been in business for some time now and always struggle with a good way to organize and store our photos. We've used the basic windows folders and labeled them into categories. We've done the same with Dropbox and even tried Google Photos and attached key words in the hopes we can easily...
  10. Caldera Barcodes and Summa Cutters

    That’s not right. You should be able to get it done without an additional PC. You may need to purchase a bar code reader as we did. However we are using Graphtech plotters I don’t know if Summa has on board readers. I’d be happy to walk you through our setup if you like.

    I'm getting ready to round file my L25500 that has been taking up space in the shop. If there are parts anyone needs or ink and heads please let me know. It would be nice to recoup some of the cost of the ink on the shelf.
  12. Sandblasted Sign referral

    Several years ago we stopped producing our own sandblasted signs and outsourced them instead. The company we used was spot on at first but now leaves much to be desired. Can anyone please recommend a wholesale sandblasting company? West coast would be nice due to shipping but not a deal...

  15. Black vinyl on Large windows

    Installing on the outside of the window will not change the heating effect and seals can damage. Window tint with a metallic finish to refract the suns heat is really the only safe option for when trying to black out the windows. This is used on skylights often. That said we have had...

  18. Question Do you use dedicated rip computer?

    Keep them separate. It will cost you a lot of money when the computer sending a project to the printer crashes during a print. I agree with all the above, hot folders are the way to go.

    We use Avery DOL1360Z. It's also what we use on most of our printing so we don't have to stock an "Optically Clear" lam.
