The HP printers are sensitive to voltage. We had to put in a buck boost for our HP 360 and HP 570 after the third board replacement. Power here runs 240 with regular surges. We haven’t had an issue since adding the buck boost. That was a few years ago and they didn’t check power at...

2 things to check. The temperature could be too high and drying ink on the nozzles. It could also be the head height is too high and overspray is collecting back on the heads.

We usually run better material, but with supplies they way they have been recently, we have run low end material with the hairs because it was all we could find. So far no issues with the heads. If you run it, keep an eye on your prints because the hairs will get stuck on the carriage and drag...

We haven’t had any issues ordering direct. We are under a service contract so there may be a difference in priority.

We get best results with the stiffest blades we can put in the tool.

We package it, add a decal with job number and put it on a shelf in Will Call.

Call Onyx. Initially we had some issues with getting Colex and Onyx to work together. Onyx support was very helpful in getting us running.

Yes, a standard table saw, or panel saw will cut ACM just fine. If you use a blade designed for cutting aluminum you can get a clean edge that doesn't need to be de-burred.

Suppliers keep saying the ships can’t get in to unload. Backlog of cargo ships plus shortage of dock hands. Add that to the shortage of containers in China and the shortage of hands in the delivery chain and you get shortages. Maybe the government could help by paying people extra to stay...

We use Corebridge for shop management. It has a system for sending questions between departments and with customers. The records stay with the job. We supplement that with Teams for inter office communications on more general topics.

Great machine and a bargain at that price. Wish I had room for another one.

Check with FireSprint. He sells wholesale and mentioned a large stock pile in a recent post.

OKI still shows printers on their website that print that size. https://www.oki.com/me/printing/products/colour/graphic-arts/index.html Maybe I misunderstood the type of printer you need.

Glad you found the issue.

How many are you making? If it's just a few then all the suggestions above could work. If you need more you should look at screen printing or pad printing them.

Check into the cloud based programs. They will do all the things you mentioned, plus being cloud based you can access from anywhere. It is a monthly charge, so definitely more expensive than Estimate. The two I know off the top of my head are CoreBridge and ShopVox.

The times I posted - 40 beds per hour on a Digitech TruFire - are true production times including board changes without the auto-unloader. This includes the operator removing boards and either flipping or placing new one. We routinely run a full pallet of coroplast in a single shift.

Our system touches the bit to a button placed on the cutting surface so it sets the mat height and blade length to match. We just graze the mat without really cutting into to it. Our old router doesn't have that and we had to learn how to make underlayment adjustments and blade length settings...

When you put the mat on top of the belt you need to adjust your zero point on the Z axis. The bit should just touch the mat. Our current mat is 3 months old and we expect to last at least 6.

We are Canon direct too. No issues with inventory so far.
