I actually like this idea. Never occurred to me to just embed the PNG file I sent her already.

The discussion is as old as stone and I generally give my customers files if a.) a good, i.e returning, customer b.) it's good practice and I generally charge a design fee anyways... Here's the new-to-me (34 years in this industry FYI) scenario... A new customer had a fairly involved t-shirt...

Same... I fought an Epson based "solution" for months. DON'T under any circumstance go there unless you have business lined up and get a machine that's been developed to be DTG with white ink from the ground up. A great way of making small runs (for me anyways) are Plastisol transfers. DTF or...

Thank you. I'll have to give it a whirl. I recently did a job with a cutting mat... kiss cut & contour cut - you can imagine the agony.

This is all great info. May I ask you... What do you do to prevent the stickers a.) From falling out in the cutter and b.) How do you keep the skeleton material stable enough so it doesn't get chewed up in the cutter? I'm assuming you work with plenty of margin, or fake some sort of flex cut?

What are the specs, besides being double sided? I letterpress coasters, which might be an option, depending on graphics...

I came across the Intec LC-600, the company is in GB with US distribution and availability. Small footprint, great functionality and performance. I think this might be it. Still no word from Summa, or Airmark.

The Summa contraption is so new that the vendors don't even know about it yet... stay tuned.

I have a couple of Heidelberg Windmills for old school die-cutting & there are quite a few advantages to the digital route. I'm mostly interested in making this process more efficient with automation.

It's my first UV machine – although I've been milling around in this industry for over 30 years by now and have seen everything, or so I think. I use the machine every day & have printed some really, really cool stuff on it. I clean the capping station and wipers after use EOD. This printer is...

I have done all sorts of labels on the Xerox, mostly paper. Neenah Estate label No. 8 is my house paper stock and then some Spinnaker, Milcoast waterproof poly, eggshell labels, Kraft etc...

That's perfect - I'll look into this, this way I don't have to change much of anything... Thank you.

I've had my my Mimaki 3042 MKII for a little over two years and absolutely love the machine. Everything is just superb and well thought out in my opinion. Print quality, engineering and the software (a lot of people seem to hate Rasterlink – I think it's very functional and logical in my world)...

hi all – I have generated quite a bit of business with small-ish run custom contour cut stickers and labels. Some printed on a Xerox, some printed on a Mimaki UV machine, all OPOS registered and contour cut with a Summa D60. Works a treat and is pretty damn accurate and satisfactory. EXCEPT -...

OKI printers with white toner are crazy versatile - I have a 8432WT and use it all the time with white.

I recently came across this website and have created a bunch of unique boxes with a laser cutter and UV printer https://www.diecuttemplates.com/

Oh yeah, I have everything I use on a daily basis in multiples...

Bingo! That's what I have. I'll just get an additional die to keep the paper ones in perfect shape. THANKS!

While I have access to a large router at a friend's shop, it sometimes seems overkill to just round the corners on aluminum dibond signs. I'm thinking a corner die cutter might do the trick? I really only want a small corner to take the sharp edge off... I have something like this for paper, but...

Jeanene? ha! small world. thank you! I'm having a blast with my UV machine.
