  1. Mimaki ends relationship with Grimco

    We use both Mimaki & Triangle inks in our JV33 & JV3. We get them from Advantage but their closest location to you is PA. Be careful with the Triangle ink for the JV33. We had an issue with the black clogging our nozzles. So now we run OEM Black, Triangle Magenta Cartridge, and Triangle bulk...
  2. How do the big guys print on the backing paper?

    We print a grid on the backing of our Instant Granite. We just feed our 5110-g which is comparable to the 651 with the backing paper up and print 51 copies of our 3' x 3' grid. We set the profile on fast print, 4 pass, and we are able to turn off the heat. Super easy. Takes about 2 hours to...
  3. Beer Label Design

    I think it looks great and I knew immediately that it was a hop as the football though if it's a Colorado beer, it could be confused with a bud which will only help with sales.
  4. Help A Loyal Employee

    done.
  5. Custom Vinyl Release Liner / Swapping Release Liner

    We just print our Instant Granite logo and grid on the backing paper. While it adds to production time, it prints very quickly and uses minimal ink.
  6. I see the ad and had to ask..

    Right now we only have the one calendered laminate. Our customers pair the cast laminate they usually use with our cast vinyl. We do not recommend using our laminate with the cast vinyl.

    We are getting our next shipment of 1000 rolls next month and the end cap issue will be resolved. We have switched to better caps so the material should arrive in better condition.

  11. Tubes for shipping rolled graphics - Recommendation needed

    We prefer the UPS tubes over FedEx because they are an inch wider, sturdier, and easier to close and UPS will send us 200 at a time while FedEx will only send 60. We ship about 150 orders a week. 50% in 3" x 42" tubes and 50% in UPS triangular tubes. We ship the UPS tubes via FedEx and USPS...
  12. OEM 3rd party inks for MIMAKI JV5 - 160

    We switched to MSS on our JV33 and had an issue with the black. So we kept the ss21 Black, and used MSS M,C,Y. Then we switched to JVV M,C,Y bulk and were unhappy with the Magenta. So now our silly arrangement is ss21 Black, MSS Magenta, and JVV C & Y bulk. However, with the MSS, the tab...
  13. printing on vinyl backing paper/liner

    Why? Does anyone flip the vinyl over and use the grid on the back. I got some samples of the lam and it has the grid also. Seems like a waste to me. Even cheaper vinyl or a grid on back.... I'll go cheaper. Also your backer is a lot more paperlike then say a 3M IJ35C which has a lot of poly...
  14. printing on vinyl backing paper/liner

    For our Instant Granite products, we print a grid and logo on the backing paper of our Air Release Calendered vinyl ($130/roll) with no issues. We print the backing on a JV-3 & JV33, using both OEM & Triangle inks, with a generic profile. We keep the heat at the lowest setting and usually...
  15. HELP PLEASE! Mimaki JV33-130 Issues

    What kind of ink are you using? OEM? We had a similar problem caused by Triangle Black Ink which is "chemically and color compatible." Even though Triangle picked up the warranty on the print head when we switched to their inks, they found contaminates in the nozzles that they said was not...

  18. Which vinyl-short term wrap

    This application is perfect for Instant One Media. At $130/roll, it is Air-Release, removable, and gray adhesive. It handles rivets beautifully, I had a customer say: "It goes on like butter on a biscuit." This may not mean much to you in NY, but it is a good thing. PM or call my cell...
  19. Mimaki jv33 ink contamination

    We just had an issue with our 6 month old Mimaki JV33 print head not dropping black correctly. We switched to triangle about 1 month in, and started having issues around month 6. Since we had the warranty switched over to triangle, we turned to them for the solution which was a new print head...
