  1. Printing with white on clear?

    Jv3 Our Mimaki Can Print White on Clear, we seldom do it but it can be done. Changing the ink from CMYK over to 6 color with white is pricey. Which is on reason we don't do it often.
  2. DIY Rip Station...any suggestions??

    Opterons I just used the 256 Opterons (3ghz) in our TurboJet RIP. They are fast, also playing with RAM Disks since the files are copied to the turbojet before they are printed. As far as Mobo's go I like ASUS and Tyan. Below is a list of what I have Used. CPU...
  3. DIY Rip Station...any suggestions??

    Colorburst We have colorburst on an old rip server for our Vutek 2360. It had Xeon procs and I can tell you the Opterons are alot faster. We've been looking at Flatbeds we just don't get enough work on them to buy one just yet.
  4. DIY Rip Station...any suggestions??

    Our RIP servers We have 3 RIP Servers, all custom built by yours truly. All are dual AMD Opterons, 4GB RAM, 4 10Krpm Raptor Drives. We use Onyx 6.5 so your program may require different specs, but these work great for us. The Raptors don't put off as much heat as you would think. So as...

    Check NewEgg I picked up an Extension Cable for our Mutoh with an Amplifier, 26 feet works perfect.
  6. First post: information and question....

    Mimaki JV3 Get a Mimaki JV3 you won't regret it. We also use a Mutoh Ultima 1400D Cutter and it works great too. Onyx 6.5 is the RIP we use and it's been very easy to dial in as far as color profiles go.
  7. Trying new vid cards! got quad + 2 gigs!

    File Size We Create and Print alot of Billboards and Buswraps. Some are huge even before they are ripped. After they are ripped some are now 4, 6, or 8 files containing the color separations. Our Printers are file mode printers so the press operators drag the files into a program after they...
  8. What kind of computer do I get!?

    Just my 2 cents I have built many machines over the years. We have 3 RIP Machines that run Onyx Production House, two are Dual Opteron's with 4 gigs of RAM and the newest is Dual Dual-Core Opteron's with 4 gigs of RAM. The single cores are 5 times faster than our old RIP machine which was Dual...
