We could, but realistically throwing away around $100 per roll of media adds up fairly quickly. The resulting ~15" would be useless for anything we produce. Thanks Bigfish! I'll shoot you a message. There are probably more than a few media types I need to run by you to see if we can find better...

So the shop where I'm working has been using Fix-On optically clear mounting film to mount graphics printed on polyester blockout film to the back of acrylic sheets. Just called to re-order some film and found out that they no longer make it in 36", which is our most used size. We would have go...

I would escalate the issue and see if you can get a much better discount. You are not at fault for running an older version of their software, especially since some newer versions have reliability issues that the older versions did not. I would give them 3 options: 1.) Provide you with a way to...

The crop mark placement is automatic when printing with flexi. Yes, you need to create the cut path, but how is that different than using illustrator or any other program? The contour cut tool in flexi at least lets you define offset and corner type while you are at it, so that saves some steps...

Thanks everybody. Deleting the files located in the 'work' folder did the trick.

I'm running into a new situation with Onyx RIP-Queue 11 crashing the instant it finishes loading. I loaded some print files (23x 4.75" solid color cubes with text and small logo. Very small files) The print profile being used is 1440x1440 stochastic (stochastic being the only dither pattern that...

I would just use Flexisign or Cuttingmaster. We use Onyx to print and CM4 here. Very simple to set up automatic cross cutting. Should be identical in both programs.

210 is the problem if I had to make a guess. Give it a try with 290

Made graphics for a Buffalo Wild Wings. Something about the paint they used made it impossible for anything to adhere. They had this issue with Fatheads also, so I knew it wasn't just us. No idea on what kind of paint it was, but I guess it was designed so that BBQ sauce would wipe right off...

Draw a box on top of the 2x12 magnet, mask the image with the box, scale to 2x12, unmask? Sometimes nice to use photoshop to do a lens correction first or remove any distortion from being slightly off angle.

Sounds like a good time to sell them a pylon skirt for $2900 since they want it so badly.

Yes, it is set up as dual CMYK. The white is disabled, as there was some issue with it... no idea what. My next goal is to get the owner to purchase an X-Rite (maybe the new i1Studio if it is compatible) so we can properly build profiles instead of working off of supplied profiles or generic...

Sorry yes, Print quality. I only have sample prints since the machine stopped working before I was hired, but as we print large trade show booths and interior graphics, brand colors and fine detail are critical. I'm hoping we can upgrade to a newer machine in the next year with a wider color...

Thanks Unclebun, The diagram in the PDF makes it look like they use both. Now that I know the loading is done correctly, I can try to dial in any other issues!

After reading the PDF manual, I'm seeing some differences in how I was told to load the media than how Epson says to do it, or their wording is slightly confusing. How I have been told to load media: #1 - Printing Opaque media - High pressure rollers moved off to the far edges not contacting...

Thank you ColorCrest! I've been working with Roland machines for about 10 years, but have zero experience maintaining the Epson machines. I got about half an hour of 'here's how you clean it and load it' from the guy whom I replaced, and in general the machine has been fantastic in printing. I...

Yes, this does have the heavy duty feed and take-up system. I wasn't aware of that disc, I will see if I can find it. I've only been at this new shop for 4 months and I was told when I was hired that the machine did not print accurate length.

ColorCrest, I've confirmed that the print calibration is done only on the machine, not in the rip software. I will see if setting it through the RIP is more accurate / consistent. The calibration was done using the same media from example 1. VanderJ, Thank you for that math, I hadn't thought to...

I can't really find much about these printers. I don't know if there aren't many out there, or if they all run so perfectly that no one posts about them. I'm noticing print lengths that vary slightly, but not in a manner that can be adjusted for. Ran the print length calibration and it was out...

Depends on the theme. Most new ones are. Themeforest has some good ones in the $50 range.
