  1. Nesting software suggestions?

    I was just quoted $1440 for Griffin Desktop. This is an annual subscription. Price is not all that hefty for what it will save in material over a year. Waiting for a demo still and wondering if I am missing something or if this is a different version with less features? Price is from Enfocus
  2. Nesting software suggestions?

    Thanks, I will have a look at this sounds like there are not a lot of options in reality then, as I am basically just asking for demos of the same software, just one not as limited as the other. Have requested demos from both will see who answers first
  3. Nesting software suggestions?

    So I am demoing Onyx TruFit, it is still available and active. I requested a demo through the website and got it next day. We are also switching over to Onyx Align and testing out Onyx Thrive (RIP). - I am currently using a demo of Onyx Trust and there is indeed a 20 file limitation to Onyx...
  4. Nesting software suggestions?

    We are looking to add some nesting software. I was demoing Onyx Thrive and like it, except it seems to have a 20 file limitation. Not sure why they have this limitation but it is there. The only other thing I can find in google is Enfocus Griffin. I have a request out for a demo, just waiting to...
  5. Weeding small labels

    Thanks for all the suggestions. The guys we have in production have been doing it for a while so are skilled with this, I was just stunned that there was no automated way of doing this. It turns out there is, but it is pricey and you would need serious volume for this to be worth it.
  6. Weeding small labels

    I am relatively knew to the sign and decal world. Grew up in offset and digital print. We are weeding by hand, which is not a big deal till we get to smaller labels, then it really becomes a chore. I can't show the actual label as it is for a soon to be released product. Label size is 6 x...
  7. Ghost Reflective - Dark Gray Truck

    What printer are you using? We have had trouble with grays because it is printing CMYK. we use Caldera but are contemplating switching to Onyx for their RIP as well as Align. when you print on a reflective stock doesn't it diminish the reflectiveness of the vinyl? For this specific order...
  8. Ghost Reflective - Dark Gray Truck

    How is the reflective quality when printing on reflective silver or white?
  9. Ghost Reflective - Dark Gray Truck

    I have a client who wanted "ghost reflective" on his dark grey F-150. I have never dealt with this before and am trying to find information on how this process is actually done. From what I have found it seems like the option is finding a coloured vinyl reflective that is as close to the vehicle...
  10. How do you pack extra large decals?

    How do you all pack your extra large decals? We have some products that are kiss cut and premised and can be 120" ish x 40" ish. Any tips or solutions to pack these up safely for shipping to clients?
  11. Zund Design Center rendered preview slow on Mac

    It is the latest, we just had our Zund put in and got our access to the 1 year of Design Centre. It is painfully slow when trying to do previews. I don't have access to an X86 computer as the M1 Max is my work computer.
  12. Zund Design Center rendered preview slow on Mac

    We just had a Zund installed and I got the Zund Design Center installed on my M1 Max MacBook Pro with 32 gigs of ram. I am running latest Illustrator as well as latest Mac OS updates. Going into this software with no training or using anything like it before. I watched a few tutorials from...
  13. Epson 9900 aftermarket inks?

    I have an Epson 9900 at home as a personal printer, using an EFI RIP. Kept the machine when we merged our family print shop with another company. I don't use it a whole lot, do some posters and custom print pieces for nieces, nephews and god kids as well as family members. Ink is pricey for the...
  14. Hi-Viz reflective Red stock in Canada

    Thanks, I will reach out to wri and see what they have to say. It would not need to be the exact same thing, just close. We priced and showed them a sample on a red reflective we had in stock and it was not what they were looking for. They sent back a picture of the material they got from a...
  15. Hi-Viz reflective Red stock in Canada

    Do any Canadians here have a source for this high vix red stock? We are working on something and have a reflective red vinyl, but client wants material like in the image attached. We are located in Ontario. ND does not carry the red.
  16. Backing that looks like Wax Paper

    Very bizarre request. The real request should be for the label itself not what backer it is on. This can come from basically any label stock and I don't know anyone who buys a roll of label, or sheets of label based on the backer itself. Those are kiss-cut labels, basically they get printed and...
  17. Colour profiling and calibration

    Thanks! I did not think of touching base with ND regarding this. I might start with them as we order from them already.
  18. Colour profiling and calibration

    I completely agree with the analogy of a tuning instrument. I also understand we will need to be able to "tune" ourselves with the right tools after. This is all something we are looking to talk to a professional about to go about this the best way to achieve a balanced colour profile with all...
  19. Colour profiling and calibration

    Thanks, I am hoping to find someone in Canada, specifically Ontario.
  20. Colour profiling and calibration

    We are looking to get our printers profiled so we can have some colour constancy. We have 2 Epson R5070's and a SwissQ Impala 4. I come from a commercial print background, somewhat new to wide format and signage in which our shop is now focused on. I remember some years ago when we bought an...
