  3. Opinion What’s the perfect printable media for putting onto garments?

    Hi there Thanks for your response, yes have been getting that from Xpres, they sold it to me as their biggest selling media for workwear printing onto garments a couple of years ago when I bought my Mimaki. I liked it as it had a very hi tack backing sheet which was great for weeding on, but I...
  4. Opinion What’s the perfect printable media for putting onto garments?

    I am currently using a product called solvent dark turbo which has great weeding and is a 5 second press hot peel. I find that after about 5 months of wearing and washing and probably tumble drying that et can start to cram and split and becomes quite brittle. Just wondered what other...

  7. Need Help Mimaki cjv150-75

    I have a Mimaki Cjv150-75, had it for 2 years now without any problems. I went to cut a run of Biltong labels 2.75” in size and about a 700mm long print run of them using crop marks and intermediate crop marks too.

  10. Help with perf cutting on mimaki cjv 150-75

    And with the limitations of where you can put the pinch rollers, if the punch roller falls over the artwork, would that be ok given that it might roll over the cut decal and potentially buckle that decal, and then if that decal come out it will roll in the empty gap and cause a problem? Also...
  11. Help with perf cutting on mimaki cjv 150-75

    Also i tried the different crop marks in Raster but wasn’t getting any extra decals in the job frame?? I have attached a pic of a job with registration marks which will give me 7 stickers across with a 5mm gap all round between each one, and the same without registration marks. If I take...
  12. Help with perf cutting on mimaki cjv 150-75

    Hey Myront thanks for giving me a contact number, I am in the UK so when would be the best time to give you a call? In the meantime I will try the other registration marks again too in the rasterlink just to see out of curiosity how much more decals I could fit in.
  13. Help with perf cutting on mimaki cjv 150-75

    No these decals aren’t laminated the customer didn’t want them laminated. I did try slowing the cutting speed down to 5 but it still did it. I am wondering if the size of the sticker being cut 6” meant there was more “flex” in the vinyl, as opposed to the small 1” stickers? That artwork...
  14. Help with perf cutting on mimaki cjv 150-75

    Would I be right in thinking that for small stickers I could get away with just 2 pinch rollers, but for 6 inch stickers you would need 3 pinch rollers? I always have my outer pinch rollers set to high and the inner to low, is that correct? Should I leave the artwork to dry for a while before...
