Hey All, Anybody had success edge to edge printing on 48" material with any of the Epson printers. We set our gutters to OFF and our margins and spacing to 0 in ONYX (Postershop 12) but the machine is auto sensing the material width and prints 1/4" away from the edge regardless. Any...

Curious what measures everybody takes to maintain a clean print/production environment? What tools, equipment and procedures to you follow to try and prevent contaminates ending up in a print/sign? We're moving to a new shop in roughly 6 weeks and one of the things I want to do is control...

Hey all. We've been looking at adding an FB550 to our shop. In recent discussions with our main technician he's really not a fan of the current generation of FB models and suggested that we look at the previous generation FB500 for higher print quality. I wonder how much of this is his bias as...

We're are moving locations shortly and will have room for additional equipment. One of the things we are fleshing out is whether or not a laser cutter/engraver makes sense as a way to increase our services offered. There is at least one other laser engraver in town. They are a...

Hey all, We're moving shops in Feb/Mar. We'll be moving from a 2300 sq/ft facility to a 5000sq/ft facility. We'll be eating up a bunch of that extra space with a finishing table and a flatbed printer but would like to know what types of things other shops have purchased as far as shelves, floor...

This is a little ongoing debate we have at the shop. Us old salty dogs who grew up on Composer are trying to educate the youth on sign specific tools that are just missing in Illustrator ;)

I've been having intermittent issues with Composer files not being properly ripped in ONYX Postershop and the colors come out muted. In the past w/Composer 5.1 & 2.6 we would reboot both computers and the issue would go away. We recently upgraded all our Composers to 6.5 and the issue has...

We rarely use foamcore as we never get requests for it but I have a project where the customer will not accept any other substrate substitution. Having worked with it in the past we always had challenges getting clean cuts. Didn't matter how sharp the knife was, how fast or slow the pass was...

Hey All, We've been casually looking at adding a flatbed (FB550) and/or a finishing table (Kongsberg X24) to our lineup for the last year or so but more and more it's feeling like the flatbed at the very least is a necessary investment for us. A little background. Our main bread and butter is...

We recently purchased some assets from another company that closed their doors. They had an EDGE FX setup so we were able to upgrade from our EDGE II setup and are now selling it off. Both our EDGE II and the Envision have been close to bombproof for us. We bought them in August 05 and replaced...

Hey everybody., Long story short I had a file that was deleted from my desktop and put in the recycle bin and then the recycle bin was emptied. I was able to use some data recovery software to locate the file and recover it BUT now when I try and open the file it says it's not a Gerber .PLT...

Having issues with head strikes on banner material on the s30. I've raised the platten gap as high as it can go and turned the heater down to 30/30/30 and still have the same result. It seems the issue is caused by puckering at the rollers which is causing the material to rise up to the head...

I was told not to post heat on a fiberglass boat by another installer but just watched the 3m boat install video and they recommend post heating to the same temperatures for regular vehicle panels. Anybody run into problems post heating on fiberglass panels or hulls?

My Edge II was intermittently showing this message on power up for a couple weeks and is now will not ever boot up properly on any power up attempt. Rev:XXX BOOT:B1 DOWNLOAD... Anybody come across this error before and able to resolve it? We talked to our local Gerber dealer and they are...

We're doing some routed letters with 1" thick ComaCell that are going to be installed on corrogated tin outdoors. Just curious what sort of hardware options guys are using so there is nothing visible on the face of the letters. We've used 3m high tac double sided tape in the past for indoor...

How's it going everyone. Full service sign shop in Prince George predominantly doing commercial and industrial signage but expanding into the home decor, vehicle wrap and recreational vehicle decal kit areas as well.
