So we've all had problems with perf. I've been in business for almost 13 years and NEVER had an easy road with it. You can't get away without laminating it for an permanent projects and therein lies the problem. We have most recently (few years) been laminating the edges down (lam strips) but...

10 Years in the business and I STILL don't really know what to do about this. We get these vehicles in from time to time that have horrible oxidation and we tell customers that they need to find a body shop or we're able to make it work by really cleaning them really well when it's not that bad...

anyone have any northeastern US suggestions?

So I recently sold my JV150 and I put in all the solvent wash cartridges (aftermarket and compatible) and I hit Custody Wash and it won't allow me to select the wash. I can do display wash and everything else but not Custody Wash. It's not greyed out or anything, it just won't allow it. I'm...

We have a Mimaki JV-150-130 Eco Solvent Printer for sale. This machine has very low hours and we have owned it since new (2015 machine). Everything is in 100% working condition with zero issues. We are a 3M Certified and Endorsed company and our equipment is always well cared for. This machine's...

So....after 10 years in business we're buying our own building. We're in city limits and don't have quite enough space that we'd like but we're still happy. We're going to build lots of custom storage but would like ideas from people for storage of print media, laminate, and cut vinyl. Also...

I posted this in vehicle wraps because I know most of you folks have experience with textured surfaces on SOME level. We have done plenty of brick walls but never anything this big. Here are some of the details. outdoor application only needs to last 1 year we are doing the removal (so it...

So I have a latex machine but want another eco solvent machine. I had a mimaki for 10 years and had SO much lock with it and really enjoyed the consistent color and dependability. I have a high production shop (5-6 wraps a week) and we already have an HP 560. I just want another machine that is...

Hey everyone - I'm printing on Ultraflex C220 6.7oz Polyester and I used to be able to tape it down to the take up roll and be okay and now I can't get enough pressure from the takeup real to not have this stuff bunch up and cause a carriage jam. I would have to physically stand there and...

HP 330 So I'm trying to print this lexjet/york wallcovering material. It's a thick canvas that has a linen texture to it but for some reason I keep getting banding on one side of the material. (the far side away from the "capping station") So I switched to 12 pass instead of 10 and it helped...

so we've had our jv33 for 9(ish) years and even though it's a little old and tired this things really runs like a racehorse. We bought an HP 330 2 years ago and hate it. Can't get consistent color to save out life. We've just been fans of the mimaki and its dependability over the years and...

I have exhausted the onyx vs caldera discussions and read through everything. I just want to get an opinion on what you guys/girls think is best for ME. So we use flexi right now (current version) and have been having crazy color issues recently. HP tech has been out 3 x's and we're actually...

So I've had this 330 for 2+ years and I'm really all thumbs. I want to put a disclaimer out there and say that we're not the shop that makes custom profiles. In fact, we usually stick to 1 profile for all vinyl, 1 or 2 for textiles and 1 for banner and thats it. We'll do the print tests and...

All of a sudden yesterday my guys are telling me the machine is tracking to one side. We thought he MUST have just been feeding it in crooked. So i came in today and re fed the machine and got the same results. I was just extra careful and re fed the machine again.....same results...

We just bought a wall saw (used) and we want to put the best general blace in there possible. 2 Questions.... 1: What IS the best blade for all types of substrates? We mostly cut omega bond and varying thickness of PVC - occasionally Acrylic and Lusterboard 2: Can I get something that will cut...

Anyone have any experience with this?

HP 330 - I'm just curious how many passes you guys are printing for solid colors. I know that the darker, richer colors are hardest like reds and blues. I just feel like 8 pass was plenty good when we purchased the printer and as time went on we've needed to keep upping the passes. Yes we...

I wish that someone would have told me before I bought this printer...."Hey man, the colors on this thing look like crap!". Everything is just washed out....I mean, the blacks look good but everything else seems to look flat. I know the inks are more matted than my solvent machine but I just...

So I've had a 63" GBC Acrtic Titan for about 7 or 8 years and it's really been good to us. We're at the point now where we're running about 600' per week through the thing. It's really been taking a beating over the last few years so I decided to give it some love a year ago and had them send a...
