Thanks! I was sort of assuming the same about the Or inks, I'll look out for some printers with those machines and set-ups.

Thanks for the replies. My client is pretty adamant about the color match on Pantone 1505C. Does anyone happen to know a wholesale printer that will run accurate color matches for your files and ship them? We just tried using signs365 and asked them to color match and the results weren't much...

Hey Everyone, Im working on a project currently where the client is looking for a graphic using Pantone 1505C. I run a Mimaki JV300-160 with ES3 inks and Im having a hard time getting any vibrant oranges. I have a CMYK setup and im starting to wonder if my setup is capable of hitting that...

Hello everyone, I have a question about my RSC 6500H laminator with heat assist. We've been running it cold for awhile now and I was curious to try and use the heat assist elements. The heat coil as already been installed into the top roller but when I select Heat on my control panel the...

Thanks, i'll have to look into re-installing tomorrow morning. Thanks for the quick reply!

Hey Everyone, I got back to my RIP computer after printing all afternoon to find it had restarted. When I tried to re-open Thrive RIP-Queue I got the message: Invalid settings file 'C:Thrive19\Server\cfg\MimakiJV300- 160.SET' in config file! Server will shut down! I've cleared my work folder...

Thanks for all of the advice everyone. Went ahead and pealed it back up and cleaned and laid it back down, seemed to be working more consistently. Appreciate it

Hey Everyone, Was wondering if anyone has run into any issues after putting on a new plotter strip and getting uneven cuts. I've switched out to a new blade and the strip looks to be put on evenly without anything obscuring it. Im pretty much scratching the laminate on the left side and...

We definitely use 751 cut vinyls when able, especially dealing with small lettering. Anything id consider a partial wrap we're using wrap/cast vinyls throughout as well. 4600 is mostly getting used for basic lettering/window graphics. Was just curious what everyone was using currently or if I...

.... stuff (one more for good measures) yikes

Appreciate it. We've been drifting away from 3M stuff but still use IJ35 a bit for indoor stuff. Our wrap guy likes his Avery, but I know what you're saying about the cut stuff and backing.

Hey Everyone, Just checking in to see if anyone is using a material they really like for cut vehicle lettering/graphics. We currently use Arlon DPF 4600 for our vehicles, it hasn't been bad but it does get a little difficult to work with for smaller lettering and I dont really love how it...

Thats a good rule of thumb to know. I've not messed with the UV intensity on the machine yet. The ink is adhering to the substrate enough that a fingernail won't affect it but a hard edge will easily take the ink, so I'm wondering if the UV intensity is too low or diminishing. Its really...

I was curious if the blanks were missing some sort of promoter also since it was a new shipment of blanks that we got in that seems to be scratching no matter which Rip software I use. I always clean with ISO before print as well but trying some degreaser may help. Like a mentioned before, we...
