    1st largescale tiled wall mural

    Not sure mate. We only use Cutserver to send cut files to our Summa vinyl cutter. Maybe ask Onyx support or your dealer? We have a Zund flatbed cutter which has it's own software. Pretty sure lots of sign folk use Colex cutters so I'm sure there's a simple solution.

    Arizona 1260GT - Does it need periodic calibration?

    We've had Arizonas for years. They are reliable, stable printers. They can need calibration if you start to notice blurry or out of registration prints. Sometimes this happens after a head strike or similar. When this happens it's an Oce technician who performs the calibration, not the user...

    1st largescale tiled wall mural

    In our version of Thrive it has the option to add the marks for a Colex Sharpcut in CutServer. Maybe that works. Note before printing you need to select the cutter in Job Editor or Rip Queue.

    How are custom folders produced?

    I doubt a cutting plotter could cut them. Even if it could cut through the card once you have cut through part of it the sheet starts to fall apart. We have a Zund that could do these easily but they are big bucks.

    Roland vs Mimaki

    Lowest cost per Sq Ft

    I'm not a big fan of HPs so haven't really researched them but I believe those latex printers with the bulk ink do have way cheaper ink/ml. They do cost more for the printer so you need to put a large volume through it to make it worth the extra upfront cost. If you can get one used for a decent...

    Color management/correction

    Inkjets usually need custom profiles. Buy an i1 spectro and learn to create your own profiles. It's quite easy in Onyx, not sure about Caldera.

    Lowest cost per Sq Ft

    Looking for recommendations on Large Format printer

    We have a Colorado 1650 and are very happy with it. Prior to this we had several HP latex and everything Mike Adams says about them is correct. We also have an Epson 60600 which is colour and length accurate but the inks need time to dry and are too soft to send out unlaminated.
