We have had three Mutoh 426's here before going to the Mimaki. The Mimaki is superior in a number of areas, but without the primer, ink adhesion is not good. We run mostly cast acrylic with gloss finish, and without the primer the inks can be easily scraped off with a finger nail. I am just an...

Thanks for the reply. We are running an 8 bottle setup, all LH-100 except the Primer which is PR-200.

We have a new 6042 UV Flatbed installed last October. The dealer talked us into the 1000 ml inks, even though we are a low volume user, because they burn so much during the install. After the install the tech said Mimaki must have changed the firmware because he used only a fraction of the ink...

Thank you for your reply's. The dampers are clear (translucent), look to be of molded nylon. There are no markings of any type on them. We took a chance and ordered a set from Amazon from a vendor with a decent reputation that promised Roland OEM parts. They cost 25% of what the MUTOH parts...

Looking for a source for OEM quality replacement damper. VJ-1614 is Mutoh part number and is cross-referencing with a Roland part VS-640/RA--640 making it look like Roland is really the OEM. Cost for the Roland part is about a quarter of the Mutoh. Seems like these dampers are used for both...

I would like to thank everyone for taking the time to read and respond to my question. Please keep the input coming as I am still a ways from making a buy recommendation to my boss. Hands on opinions from fellow sign makers are far more valuable than all the salesman talk in the world. I spend...

Yes, the $64 question. Based on the amount of use it would get here I would think 10-15,000. Our last two equipment purchases were in to 20-25,000 range, a second laser and a UV printer, but this machine will not get the same level of use that they do. Don't mean to be evasive, but he is not...

My boss has asked my to research the purchase of a CNC router for our shop. We had one many years ago, a simple 48" X 48" but the electronics were damaged by lighting and he felt it was too old to bother repairing. We have two Co2 lasers, but it would be helpful to have something that could cut...

With the help of Wild West & Techman I was able to solve my double cutting problem. I was cutting from an outline, which is what I am used to doing in other software. I deleted the outline and filled the object/vector with a color and it worked perfectly. Thanks for your help! Dave

If I could break into this "Ping" contest for a minute with a CoCut question. I just got it barely up and running, learning to cut straight out of it first, then will learn the Corel plugin. It is cutting the image two to three times right on top of each other. I have checked the drawing...

Thank you to all who have taken the time to reply to my question. I have a couple of suggestions to investigate. I have been able to download the drivers from Roland and cut(print) directly from Corel X7/Win 7 Pro. It works and I must admit I have not put a lot of time into learning its ins and...

Evan, Thanks, will give it a look. Dave

I have an old Roland Camm1 Pro CX400 plotter that Roland no longer writes drivers for. We have gone through havinx an XP dedicated machine for it but we need to move on to Win 7 & above without pitching a perfectly good plotter. I have heard that third party software exists that will have it's...
