Hello! I'm still relatively new to learning about color management, icc profiles, and everything that goes along with that and looking for some tips to get the graphics on my illustrator artwork to print true. We had a color expert come create a couple icc profiles for us so we at least have...

We are in the market to buy a laminator and I’m hoping someone can chime in to tell me if we’re making the right choice. Regarding roll vs flatbed, I think we’d like to start with a flatbed as we have a 4x8 flatbed printer so we can 1. Do flat media 2. Still do some roll media just in parts, and...

I am still a newbie trying to improve our workflow and trying to figure out how to make it happen. I think it's easiest to explain by an example. Monday morning I come in to say 50 online orders, say all with 50 different skus. Each sku matches a filename of the job including size, and finishing...

So we just got our Vanguard a few months ago and when I was searching the depths of the internet and forums for a good uv flatbed, I never even heard of EFI. I would had loved to invest in something that truly had no smell to it, I'm sure these fumes aren't good for us. At the time I was...

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll look into these!

Looking for suggestions for the most efficient solution to run air filtration by our Vanguard UV Printer. After printing a couple boards it starts to get fumey inside. By the end of the day it's borderline unbearable. It's a 1600 sq ft room so keeping the fumes contained is one challenge. I saw...

Another vote looking into the Mimaki 2513-ex. We actually bought that machine then cancelled it because shipping kept getting pushed back. We should have waited. We then decided to spend a bit more and thought what we would a better machine with Vanguard vr6d-e. Have had a few problems already...

We've had a Colex flatbed cutter for a couple months now and just this week got a new flatbed printer that uses Onyx. I am brand new to all of this and am trying to figure out how to set up barcodes so that we can print a barcode and then have our colex cutter read the barcode and know exactly...

"The people who buy these things", "maker moms"... You pretty much just insulted our target market and also any mom who is a maker. I came here for material advice, not business advice and if whether what I'm trying to sell is profitable. It doesn't always comes down to the dollar. While I won't...

Can anyone suggest a roll canvas for making scroll signs? It seems there’s different types of canvas and I’m not sure what I need. I want to be able to cut it, and not need hemmed. Here’s an example of what I’m looking to do Canvas scroll sign Also I see a lot of people making door hangers out...

This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

The problem is I need several tables and I don’t have any free time in my schedule to make one let alone many.

Looking for recommendations for quality large , ~4x8’ work tables, preferably on wheels and with some type of shelf or drawers to make use of the space underneath. Just wondering what other people are using, I like to buy based on recommendations. Thanks in advance! Edit: I do not have time to...

Thank you for the reply! I've steered clear of looking into the HP's because of some of the replies on this forum, I believe mostly regarding support or lack of. I will add it to my list to consider though because no smells are very important to me. Good to know about the license, I've not heard...

I'm about to make some BIG purchases and would greatly appreciate any feedback to help steer me in the right direction! I've scoured the forums for a few weeks now to get to this point and would be very grateful for any advice. I currently have a 3'x2' Logojet and am looking to upgrade to a...

I’m going to be upgrading to a UV 4x8’ flatbed and also wanting to add a cutter and looking for feedback regarding the best combo. I’m primarily printing and cutting 1/4” foam core. My UV flatbed searches have me narrowed down to a Mimaki JFX200 2513, I like that the inks are green guard...

Thank you for the suggestion, this is more in line with what we need I think. I see the largest one they have (I think) has a table space of 70" x 48" (the CF2-1218). Would this mean we'd need to cut a 8'x4' sheet down once some other way to fit on the bed? Sorry I'm really a newb when it comes...

We thought about getting something like that but wasn't sure if there was a better way. Could you by chance suggest any specific flatbed cutters? I'm not sure of the best search terms to find them, but upon briefly searching, the Summa cutter was the only one I came across but it's a bit out of...

We currently cut down about 20, 4x8 sheets, per week, which takes a couple/few hours depending on size of cuts. Since getting a larger printer would about quadruple our production, we'd be looking at wanting to cut down maybe 80 sheets a week, which using our current method would take someone at...

We are planning to upgrade to a 4x8 UV Flatbed, and in doing so, would like the ability to print multiple signs onto a piece of 4x8 foam core and then cut it down. I am wondering what is the best way to cut a 4x8 sheet of foam core down, with good result (ex. minimal tear out). We currently...
