  1. Possible to apply Braille and tactile lettering directly to the wall?

    Pretty sure that would be for the visually impaired to know where to run hands (standard height etc). F^ck architects, run from ***award winning architects.
  2. Equipment Redundancy - Bad idea to rely on one printer?

    I think you owe Mark a beer.
  3. Epson 9890 Print head DX6

    I buy the Piezography inks direct from the states, but I think they have an agent in France, who'll be likely to have slightly lower shipping costs (but is a bit of a nightmare to deal with). I've only got about 200ml left in stock for maintenace on a 7880 that we run purely for printing digital...

  5. Need input on which kind of Computer is the best to use for Designing.

    You're gonna upgrade form a powerbook! You'll lose the user replaceable battery.
  6. AUTOMATION and WORKFLOW

    Production control. I'd argue that you're now at the stage where a smart person could help you with software to book, log, track production, and foresee bottle necks. If you know you have Xnumber of Ytype orders, and only Zstaff/machines/space, then swapping production of orderB for orderA...
  7. Epson 9890 Print head DX6

    If you're working on Aqueous heads (9890), get a litre of Piezoflush from Inkjetmall. If anything will revive the head, this will. Load it in a reusable cart, or feed it into lines. Soak the capping station in the stuff, and let it sit for a day or two, then repeat. print a grainger rainbow, to...
  8. Need input on which kind of Computer is the best to use for Designing.

    If you get files like some of the ones I've had to deal with, close the layers panel in Illustrator! Had to buy a new graphics card to handle one job. Still have times when I need to quit everything to not have the rip crash, but this is a very aged machine, and Iook forward to updating it (and...
  9. Storage of Vinyl Upright

    50m of face mount adhesive (damned expensive) made their way through the control panel of a printer. Was aked who I was swearing at - was talking to myself. Started making wheely racks. Need to make more. 45 rolls is just painful to imagine witnessing.
  10. S80600 or?

    Spanner in the works - just seen an HP360 asking for £3500. Has had 3 maintenance kits installed, so is up to date on service, and needs to move from its current home, so a replacement can fit in. Fewer channels, but cheaper. Used, so no warranty. Self callibrating (but that's not really an...
  11. Storage of Vinyl Upright

    I knocked up a poor-mans version of https://www.image1impact.com/products-categories/media-racks/hd-mobile-rack-3-core. 1" ply 18" square, some wheels and 12" lengths of 2x2" screwed into the ply. Less than an hour, and simple to move. No more dominoes.
  12. S80600 or?

    That's good to know - we have various clients who like options - I'll look at how to price accordingly.
  13. S80600 or?

    Thank hybrid, that all helps a lot. Nice that you can program in cleaning - I can see a real use for that for unattended overnight runs, as well as for the fabrics.
  14. S80600 or?

    Thank you - I'd figured it might be a speed related feature. Could it be of benefit for drying / out gassing for for high inkload runs? Nice that you can drop white or silver in, if needed; I'd imagine there is a fair amount of cleaning fluid used to take it back to 9 channel. Colorado would be...

    Only if you can handle a relearning of beats international When I was a kid, there was grafiti in on a garage wall, that my (kinda Buddhist) mother loved. Walk easy Step Lightly Stay free. And I did a really bad lino cut of the album cover for O'Level art.

    Bit late. Getting chilly here.
  17. S80600 or?

    Thank you. Currently don't have a sales team, and limited post production support (looking at bringing on a couple of apprentices), so speed isn't too much of an issue. Quiet is good for me. Any issues with loading larger rolls - I'm starting to feel my age, so heavier logs of media, I'd...
  18. S80600 or?

    Thank you, that helps, and is what I do currently, but further questions... Posters, as in on a paper matt, lustre, gloss; is this at production speed? I have regular print queues that I could run overnight with a pass delay. I see there is a dryer option on the 60600, wondering if this would...
  19. S80600 or?

    So, a (loaded) question set. I'm looking to expand our production, and am mildly fixated by the Epson S80600. Looking at the setup guide, it asks for 145.5" in front - is this regularly needed? All benches and machines are be on wheels, so will, if needs be, have the option to shift stuff...
