We like our Epson S60600. You won't find a straight answer to the question "what is the most popular printer", everyone has their favorites and reasons why. Personally I wouldn't touch HP products with a ten foot pole, but that's just me.

Agreed. Looks like ink isn't curing/drying properly at first glance.

Came in this morning to find a nice puddle of white ink under the printer. We noticed a few small drips on Friday but it's obviously gotten worse over the weekend. I popped the back cover off to find some more large puddles and white ink all over the place. Any ideas what this part is and if...

I have a suggestion! Read the rules and get a Merchant Membership if you're going to sell yourself. That is all.

No problem, I hope you're able to achieve what you're looking for! I find Onyx has an odd way of recognizing the spot channels and behaves quite differently with the UCJV than it does with our Oce Arizona flatbed. They obviously spent a lot more time and effort with the drivers for the Oce...

Not exactly what you're asking..............but we have been able to successfully create custom profiles for our UCJV CMYKLcLmWW for Onyx, using an i1. Took a tech a full day to get a layered profile to work (cmyk+w or w+cmyk) but since then it's been working fine. I would imagine/hope it's...

Good call - I'll have to give that a shot. I find it's mostly Corel-built PDF's that always have a .05 margin or so, have never figured out how to eliminate that. I'll have to do some experimenting.

I'm in the same boat, need to come up with some sort of SIMPLE inventory management system that doesn't create a part-time job to maintain. For the most part we keep sufficient inventory levels for our most common materials, but since covid the whole "just in time" approach has bitten us in the...

Yeah quicksets are great. We've got one similar to yours. One issue I find is that a lot of times (even our in-house generated files) PDF's have a hairline white margin around the print file, which ends up being included in the Onyx-generated bleed. Have you come across this/found a workaround?

Why not? Laminating (especially in this application/location) would be the logical thing to do, regardless of if it's direct printed or solvent printed.

That's just cruel! It's like hell froze over here. It's been -40 with the wind for last few days, even colder in Alberta. (I think it even hit around -75F there recently) Finally got our first dump of snow last week but it's been too damn cold to go out and play.

Weird. Can you compare all the IP addresses on physical printers match what they're set to in Onyx? Possibly some kind of firewall issue blocking communication between RIP station and printers? Just throwing ideas out there. Have you tried calling Onyx support? They're usually pretty good...

We've used 3651 clear backed w/ 651 white for hundreds, if not thousands of panels and have never had an issue. You would think being more economical/calendared films they wouldn't work that great but they do. Only time we ran into an issue was with glass plaques mounted almost horizontally...

How useful would all this equipment/supplies be for screenprinting signs and decals? I saw you mentioned you had frames for coroplast signs. I don't have any interest in getting into garment printing but have always wanted to toy around with screenprinting signs and decals.

I wouldn't use GF 201 in that case then, won't want to come off after a week if it bonds properly. I'd probably just go with something like 3M 40c or similar depending on how small the text is.

Have you tried toggling back and forth with the placement strategy? Sometimes changing from "Conserve media" to "Print jobs together" (or whatever the wording is, I'm not near our RIP station) will get the preview to work again and allow you to hit print now. Also, selecting/deselecting the...

We do most of the time, our flatbed cutter can cut banners faster and more accurately than a person can. In this case though, center 36" banner on 38" media and call it a day. No marks needed, just cut it off the roll and fold your 1" on each side in.

Talk about a blast from the past! Nice work. Are you still hand-lettering?

Yep, this is what we do as well. I'd love to have a talk with the genius engineers that designed these things to move slower on blank areas than printed.

Yes silvering will normally go away over time. The added pressure and/or heat from laminator rollers generally reduces 90% of the silvering so once you upgrade to a laminator it should no longer be an issue.
