Look at the x and y where the objects are located, they are negative values. And look at the overall size of the objects. They are the same and 393700 inches square. That's 32,000ft x 32000ft.! I deleted all open paths which also included weed borders and ALL images in the file and you...

Hi Neil. The thing is there is nothing in the sign blank. You cannot see any vectors or images on the screen no matter how much you zoom out. If you go select all, it shows you have objects but you cannot see them. They show up in the layer viewer. And if you go select by object, size, etc...

Hi everyone. Been working on this file and was getting to print and cut. I saved it then went to another file to get a color then went back to the file and there's nothing. It shows 115 objects, and total is 393700 tall. I zoom out and nothing. Rulers are also not visible but are turned on...

I use Sign Tracker. I believe the price is $300 per yr. I'm a one man shop, but you cannot put a price on organization and not losing your notes on your jobs. And quoting looks professional. I like it. Tech support is phenomenal too! Within 15-20 you get answered. It's done thru the...

chip acted up. printed 5 90" panels then now it's saying error 627 re-insert cartridge, then !Can't PRINT/CARTRIDGE, NOW WRONG INK IC. Will try another brand and see what happens. Dealer did say they were having issues with the chips on the Rite Media Mimaki ES3 inks. Last time they actually...

Did all that. Haven't checked firmware updates but I finally got in contact with ND and since Winplot is no longer supported, there wasn't to offer. So I suggested the problem could be with Optimize curves and the tech agreed. I removed this and there were no more tabs. It was never doing a...

Already did all that. Checked the software Summa Cutter Control and the panel on the cutter. I think It has something to do with Optimize Curves. Although the last job run cut fine and didn't leave any snags. Thanks for the suggestions. I will pay more attention next time if Optimize Curves...

I know that. What I am saying is that the equipment and software is set to kiss cutting but it's acting like it's doing a flex cut. The cutting head is moving then stopping then moving. Leaving little tabs. I do not want to Flex Cut. Somewhere for some reason the cutter is doing a Flex cut...

Hi Everyone. I emailed this question to ND Graphics tech and it's been over 1.5 hrs with no email back. I was told it could be up to 3 hours. I have printed media in the cutter and 3 out of 3 jobs it cut on Flex mode. I designed in Illustrator, then sent to WinPlot. Color is set to Black...

Is this the regular 3M 5100 series or the IJ version you are talking about? The IJ version was just over $1800 a roll.

Hi. I did try the 3MIJ680CR, but largest width is 48". Yes it installs well but very pricey. I like the Oralite 5650RA because of the width of 54" keeping me to only stock one width of laminate and it prints very well. Installs well also and never had any issues using it on emergency...

Hi Wes70. Is Nikkalite 4800 printable with digital printers? It only says screen printing. 1. INTRODUCTION Nikkalite™ Brand 48000 Series Flexible Engineering Grade (ELG) retroreflective sheeting is a product manufactured for use as fleet marking, vehicle markings, stickers, decals, etc. which...

Hello everyone. I used to use a 3M 3200 reflective to make outdoor reflective signs. It was inexpensive and worked fine even if it wasn't meant for inkjet printing. Now this has gone thru the roof in pricing and heard it was heading to be discontinued??? I tried another product, METAMARK...

Hi Forty One. I don't print enough to warrant a bulk system as I'm a one person shop and do a lot of outside installs so not here often. Bu I would be interested in acquiring permanent chips. I do throw out some ink as the dates on the give me sometimes 3-6 months to use them. Sad because...

Hi everyone. I have a Mimaki JV150-60. I am using Rite Media Procolour inks and have been for a couple years, maybe 3. Used Nazdar before but prices creeped up. Anyway, been noticing chip read errors lately. From incorrect ink levels to being empty when the cartridge is full. Now the...
