  1. Mimaki JV33 Cyan Printhead....in problem,

    Printheads available online? @coreyaaron Hey, we just found out our service contract for our JV33 will no longer cover printheads (including the dreaded Cyan mentioned in this thread):frustrated:. At the risk of hijacking the thread, are replacement heads available online any cheaper than...
  2. Gatorboard Trouble

    Update: Switched to Ultra AND Alcan is visiting! Hi Guys - followup: Alcan Rep is coming tomorrow to visit an installed site with us to see the problem. Stuff we have had out in the field is still having this problem from time to time. We have since switched to Ultra boards with good...
  3. Dura Trans

    We do these all the time We make alot of "Dura Trans" for one of our accounts that is nationwide, for backlit use above the doors on walk in coolers. Print them on our HP5000 Inkjet or one of our Solvent printers on SIHL media. Works great, color pops, resolution no problem. If you have a...
  4. Here's a Stumper

    Just got a job to take a brand new barber pole and redo the rotating cylinder inside to different colored stripes from the traditional red, white and blue. The cylinder is blank (white) at this point, the idea is to apply a translucent set of stripes to the cylinder. Thing is, it is all wired up...
  5. Gatorboard Trouble

    Has anyone noticed any change in Gatorboard over the last 6 months or so? Been in business and using Gatorboard for years. We have used it with digital inkjet on adhesive vinyl for about 5 or 6 years. In the last 6 months we have been plagued with prints peeling off the board. All are laminated...
  6. replacing sacrificial boards on a 408?

    Yes, but I still dont understand... Sorry, call me thick, but I am still not understanding - I have a Gerber 408, we have replaced the spoilboard once with Sintra, works fine. EXCEPT when I try to rout wood products, plywood or OSB for example. They slide all over the table like it has been...
  7. Outside jobs with CNC

    TCC, I am curious, do you use a vac table or clamping for holding down material? I am a sign guy trying to make cabinets (!) for my shop (and maybe a new kitchen at home) and find that often a sheet of cabinet-grade birch plywood will shift on the table when I get some thru cuts into it. Using a...
  8. Art path .PLT to Enroute?

    Good ideas Tnx guys- I think I will fire up the old PC and pull off the .PLT's then try sending them to Typestries - can't hurt to have 'em in AI format anyhow. Thanks again and Happy New Year!:smile:
  9. Art path .PLT to Enroute?

    Asked another way... OK all valid responses, but don't really solve the problem - so let me try asking another way: Anybody have copies of the Mill files for the sacrificial mats on a Gerber Sabre 408 in ENROUTE 3 format, and that they would be willing to share? :cool:TNX
  10. Cure Time????

    Let it Dry/Outgas We always wait at least 24 hours on heavy ink coverage jobs before mounting or laminating, especially on white films for tradeshows since these are almost always rolled into the exhibit case. We try to print them at night, let them dry the entire next day, and do finishing...
  11. Art path .PLT to Enroute?

    No go with Import Nope... Seems the ArtPath .plt format is not equivalent to the HPGL .plt that Enroute understands.
  12. Art path .PLT to Enroute?

    Anybody here ever converted an ArtPath .PLT or .RTP file to Enroute? Specifically, we upgraded our PC and put Enroute on it, abandoning crappy old ArtPath. Now I want to mill my sacrificial mat, but the .PLT files don't load in Enroute. Can't connect the old PC and run the mill file either...
