  1. How to add cut line & bleed to existing design

    Hi all, Drawing a bit of a blank here as it's not something we do regularly, but we need to add some bleed and contour cut line to a small design we've been provided by a client. Since there is a drop shadow, adding a couple of mm of bleed and adding a cut line isn't as easy as first thought...
  2. What is low, medium and high use on an Arizona?

    I think CMYKEngineering can convert the UV lamps to LED.
  3. Wanted EPSON SURECOLOR 80600 LEAK - REPAIR NEEDED

    Are Digiprint still having issues after the Lexjet takeover? I would have assumed things would have been on the up. We haven't had to order from them in a while so unsure of current conditions.
  4. Bleed not holding in Onyx 12

    Did you have the correct roll width set before print? We had this issue on one job last week and turned out the roll width was off by about 5mm so it wasn't printing the full width of the loaded media. Lucky it was just an outline and we could easily trim it by measuring the bleed out with a ruler.
  5. Covid silver bullet? BS?

    Oral sex demons have been around since before COVID started. Check this out for some amusement:
  6. Think of it this way....

    NZ - 4.2 million visitors / 268,000 sq. km = 15.6 visitors / sq.km USA - 77 million visitors / 9,834,000 sq. km = 7.8 visitors / sq.km This very lazy math, but the "spread out" argument isn't holding much water. Honestly not trying to spin anything, just comparing raw numbers I'm finding on...
  7. Think of it this way....

    Quirky fact: NZ gets approx. 85% of their population worth of visitors every year, USA gets approx. 23% of total population worth of visitors per year so I feel they would somehow be more vulnerable on a per capita basis.
  8. Why no Onyx forum?

    I think it would be nice to have it separated to its own sub. Will make future searching a bit easier than having to navigate through a bunch of unrelated RIP issues. +1 for adding it please.
  9. OCE Arizona 365 GT recommended material cleaners?

    100% agree with peeling off in one continuous motion. Any stops and you will get a faint line there during print (lighter colours mainly). The rolling idea works well as Bly mentions. Other than that, 99.9% isopropyl alcohol is what we buy by the drum for cleaning absolutely everything...
  10. How to correctly maintain UV printer?

    Never heard of a protection fluid. Our UV machine only came with flush and the option of also using isopropyl alcohol to clean the heads. We will swab on some flush if the printer will be left for a few days to keep the nozzles moist so there's less chance of a blockage next time we print.
  11. Is my Summa a lemon?

    I don't own a Summa so will just ask a generic question... how is the power quality in your area? Would it be worth installing a UPS to shield the machine from any fluctuations which can sometimes cause "weird" behaviour in electrical devices?
  12. Melting ink cartridge?

    This used to happen on our VS540 as well. Sold the machine before solving the issue.
  13. ICC Profiling in Onyx tips

    Epson workflow skips individual channel restrictions and linearisation. It uses onboard RIP to work it all out on its own (or so it was roughly explained to me by our supplier). The most control you have over it is giving it a total ink coverage percentage. Around 80% seems to be the sweet spot...
  14. ICC Profiling in Onyx tips

    The Epson workflow is half the work of the Onyx workflow. We have a new media we need to get profiled this week. I could document it if you're that interested.
  15. Question Anyone used a WOOD CHIPPER to grind up coroplast drops?

    Coroplast = corrugated polypropylene

  17. Onyx issue with Windows 10 2004

    Let's hope I remember this when it comes to bite me down the track... Thank you for the warning.
  18. Mimaki CG160FXII and ONYX Cut Server

    You can import SVG files into CutServer to do regular cut jobs. Nothing needs to be printed first.
  19. Printer's drivers for Onyx 11

    Bert, this no longer works for versions prior to 12.
  20. How to correctly maintain UV printer?

    It's an Oce Arizona. Here is the official maintenance guide: https://dgs.cpp.canon/PrinterSupport/Arizona_400_Customer/Documents/Poster/Arizona%20Care%20and%20Use%20Poster_Rev-EN-3010120949.pdf
