Arthur To find the Holy Grail African or European?

Never ran a Mimaki but, if it helps, we get this on our flatbed if one color has an air bubble or if negative pressure needs adjustment. On our Roland Soljet XR640, if we get this then we run again at High Quality with Unidirectional on.

I would cut circles to size in black and white and put on top of them. We spray paint them sometimes too.

3951RA or ProSlide would have been a better choice than 3551 for this job. But when laying something like this you have to squeegee differently. No up and down or the material tunnels and has no where to go. Center hinge can work to position and start, but you only wantt o do a few inches in the...

Nicely done. Enjoy your retirement

JDS Sign Supply carries General Formulations Rainbow Holographic vinyl. Really nice material. Just search 'Holographic vinyl'. https://browse.jdsindustries.com/main.php?r=frontEnd&view=search

We UV print on reflective coated aluminum panels all the time. Most colors still reflect. Personally I prefer the look of Solvent printed reflective vinyl, but both work. As far as not printing on mirrors, the main thing is don't look at the light reflected out while printing - that can blind...

We like to off gas for two hours. That said, we have been pressed before and what we have done is let the print air out until the position marks are no longer tacky (black, so has heavy ink). Have not had a failure yet.

If I understand you, I think you are trying to do away with overlapping cuts. If so, when you send to CutContour, go to the third tab, the plotter knife with a + symbol, and select the box that says "Eliminate line segment overlap."

We have a 20 year old 30" Graphtec that is ugly, basic, but so reliable (it outlived the Roland plotter that replaced it) and can still cut small text like a pro, that we bought a 60" Graphtec a few years ago when we added a wider format plotter. I don't think the issue is the plotter brand so...

This line of thinking makes the most sense when you don't see the whole picture or when you understand the engineering behind the machine and the inks. Worth asking to learn more, and in some cases a company that services the brands in question may be able to tell you what inks would work and...

The back doesn't look bad at all - assuming you use wrap vinyl to change the color. But remember, you will need to clean this really well to have good results - about half the time you have it - I would windex it first then hit with alcohol or Rapid Prep twice. I think you can do this in 2 days...

Glad to hear you are up and running. Sounds to me like an air-bubble (which happens from time to time) - bleeding the line for Cyan would be the way to work that out. Other than that, I would have looked at negative pressure. We find we need to adjust negative pressure about twice a year. These...

We have a Roland XR-640 and it prints and cuts. At one point we thought about adding a second to handle increased volume, but we ended up add a Graphtec 9000-160 plotter instead (was less money and we definitely needed another plotter). The end result was increased capacity as the printer could...

And this is why we make proofs... as a general rule, we do not alter the logo layout. But I can think of cases where a mirror image layout was preferred and used. So exceptions. One thing to remember is that flags are to be mirrored on the second side so they always face the same direction.

We have used both. Briteline WrapCast vinyl is actually Arlon and is comparable to SLX. That said, I think there is a slight reduction in quality - few more pits in the vinyl and somehow feels a touch thinner (though that maybe my imagination)... As far as using it, it work well and we have...

if your lead edge is not cut straight I have seen this. One solution is to simply not use the basket.

We use "Graphtec 4 Points Type 1". It sounds like that is what your plotter is looking for...
