  1. cutter is shifting cut lines

    Is this the first time you’ve tried this? A roll to roll cutter will not handle something like this well at all! Even with perf cut you’ll tear through your cutting strip
  2. Need Help Do you loose quality when scaling raster image in Illustrator

    If you’re exporting it at 1/20 then scaling in your rip, then it will likely look horrible.
  3. Mimaki Print Vinyl

    Anyone selling you a printer should know a great deal about the associated media’s so there’s a red flag. As far as using the media is concerned, you don’t usually get any great stuff that’s not covered in logos so I’d assume it’s not tremendous. Your best bet would be to find yourself a...
  4. Thought you had no money?

    Happens to us every year (though it’s march in the uk). Basically people just telling us their budget and asking what they can get! As far as the budgets are concerned, they’re dealing with it all wrong in my opinion. Which warrants the needless spending. We have schools, hospitals etc...
  5. Onyx/Oce Colorado communication issues

    Couldn’t agree more with this. Once I get a roll on and it starts printing, it’s a dream. It’s everything other than that, that still feels a bit sketchy. A few things that should have absolutely been sorted prior to release, the ink levels on the machine, engineer told us not to trust them at...
  6. Onyx/Oce Colorado communication issues

    Yeah I had a canon guy remote in and do all that generic stuff but I’d already cleared the “work” folder, it was definitely going to the Colorado and not printing to a folder etc. We eventually got it working today, reinstalling a generic 1640 print install file (that we had already tried a...
  7. Onyx/Oce Colorado communication issues

    Haha, tried that! Had the machine, the pc and them both off at the same time (just in case). In the case of the pc updating, it wasn’t connected to the internet when I left it (our onyx has been a bit screwy since the start, works better when I disconnect it from the internet). So I doubt that...
  8. Onyx/Oce Colorado communication issues

    Hey All, real head scratcher here. Basically I’ve been running an oce Colorado on onyx 18.5 for around a month now, had some teething problems but now it’s taken a full bite! The printer is not networked itself, it’s connected through an Ethernet cable to the pc, the pc has two network...
  9. Production Manager freezing

    Might not be super helpful, but I’m running onyx and it freezes ALL THE TIME! I think this may be an issue with our IT as whenever I unplug the ethernet cable, it runs fine. I’d maybe try that? Even if it gets the cutter back that should help!
  10. Onyx newbie

    Forgot to reply to you in the above. If that’s not what you’re after, let me know. The summa guy left a few pdf’s In his install folder so could get those to you if necessary.
  11. Need Help Mimaki CJV30-130 Head issues

    I would be much more worried about what looks like ink contamination on your yellows. A lot of black that definitely shouldn’t be there
  12. Onyx newbie

    Do you mean get the cutter to find the barcode then cut the file on each sheet without having to go back to the pc and hit “cut now”? We have an s class 2 160T (not an OPOS-CAM either). Basically I hit print, laminate said print, put it in the cutter. In the cutter menu, I go to actions -...
  13. Onyx newbie

    Thats exactly what I was after! Thanks! I knew there had to be an easier way!
  14. Onyx newbie

    I ended up splitting the PDF into 10 different PDF’s with 200 pages then dropped one PDF into the quickset shortcut, print, drop the other one in, print, and so on. Just felt like there should have been a quicker way to do it lol. Can you batch them in onyx or did you mean the way I done it/a...
  15. Onyx newbie

    So we’ve recently switched to onyx (18.5) and I have a few things I’d like to do but haven’t found out how yet! Basically I have a job for 2000 different, numbered decals that need print and cut, onyx wants to just print them all at once, but we don’t have a take up roll on our laminator so...
  16. Discussion what's everyone's hurry????

    What do you mean you can’t do it right away? You’re just sitting there hitting print then dwindling your thumbs! :banghead:
  17. Streaks Around Design

    Is it rasterlink you are using? 100 designs seems a lot; try backing up some of the ones you don’t need for now. Clear house there and see if that helps?
  18. Question Onyx paper profiles

    It should be possible to just create a custom paper size, as others have said just have a look at a few videos online. Should be pretty easy to get to grips with
  19. How to Print true CMYK ???

    Going to go out on a limb and assume that you’re using an RGB monitor, maybe just the case that your printer can have a larger gamut than an RBG screen showing cmyk values can show you? Could very well be talking nonsense though!
  20. Streaks Around Design

    This may be a very silly question but have you tried a different file that worked before? Had a quick scan though the replies and you haven’t explicitly stated it’s not only this artwork lol. Besides that, try switching the USB cable that goes from the computer to the machine, I’ve seen that...
