  1. Need Help jv300 plus 160 weird banding

    That’s exactly what I was thinking. The slant and stagger needs adjusted by a good technician. If fees compensation can be dialed in on either head. It not both at the same time, there is a positional issue with the head itself. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Need Help jv300 plus 160 weird banding

    Hard to say with this source image. Get some really good “known” art to work with to get a better baseline. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. accidentally printed on auto mark film question

    It will be fine. Auto mark is a calendared film and your lam will be a calendared film as well. You can put cast lam on calendared but you can’t put calendared on cast. The lam will shrink and pull up the vinyl. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Question IS GRIMCO LIKE THIS WITH EVERYTHING?

    They have been this way ever since I have been dealing with them. I usually know what the price is what I want from somewhere else and when I call them, I ask what they can do. If it’s close, I let it go. If it’s too high, I give them the price of the competitor. In some cases, they are paying...
  5. Looking for Roland Tech in the Central Florida Area (Orlando) for Roland VP540

  6. Mimaki JV300 160-Plus Ink Chips & 3rd Party Inks

    Do yourself a favor and order the circuit board from Ink Control. It is a billion times better than dealing with the chips. I was fighting with permanent chips and 1 use chips and things and it was a huge pain. Ink control will emulate whatever ink set you want and make the printer work. Also...
  7. Never imagined I would be buying this!

    Nice! I had considered one I these for our shop but I’m in the same boat as you about the pressure to keep the machine full of jobs. I am debating pulling the trigger on a Digitech flatbed soon at a cost of $250k. Scary but I’m sure that once I get it, I’ll wonder ho I ever loved without it...
  8. Vinyl that won't curl

    If you print any vinyl with solvent and don’t let it outgas long enough before cutting, it will curl right off the backing paper. The higher the ink load, the worse it will be. I have even seen this happen with high ink loads of latex. No problems with UV cure inks. If you let it outgas long...
  9. For guys with digital cutters, a question.

    My Kongsberg cutter has camera registration. All I have to have is a minimum of 2-1/4” dots to do a location registration. If I set the software to compensation, I need more dots most likely ( I usually have several throughout the art or at least along all 4 sides of the art) I can put the the...

  12. JV150-130 Not printing

    You may be in for a meeting head if it has been sitting that long. I would put cleaning solution in it and have it soak overnight. The trick is to start it for 99 minutes and then switch it off once it starts counting down. I would attempt a few ink fills as well as different levels of cleaning...
  13. Can white ink be used as opaque last pass? (Windshield stickers)

    Don’t expect it to be fully opaque. It doesn’t need to be.once you get a decent layer on there and put it on somethjng, it will look great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. New owner UCJV-300-150

    There is a plug-in included with the UCJV called finecut that works directly with Corel or illustrator but isn’t necessary for regular print and cut. All you need to do make a color as a spot color and name it “CutContour” with no quotes. It must have the capital C in it and be 1 word...
  15. Discontinued ink for my flatbead

    Leave the Rolands alone. Their newest flatbed is a rebadged Ricoh. The older rolands are good print quality but super slow. HP R series is super overpriced and one of the most expensive for inks/consumables per sq ft. Depending on budget, the best, in my opinion from seeing the machines in...
