  1. heat sublimation to acrylic?

    1.) If you want to sublimate on acrylic you need to buy special acrylic coated on the back for sublimation. This is not that common and the printing is not opaque, it's kind of translucent. The example you sent it not sublimation. 2.) To do what you're showing in the example you need a...
  2. Grand format banner pricing?

    $3.75 sqft sounds good and I’d just mark the install up slightly and be clear that you’re subcontracting it out. Your client will appreciate not having to find an installer and there won’t be any confusion on who is doing what. We charge $3.50-4 depending on the number of banners. For big...
  3. Sawgrass VJ 628 Lan problem

    Hi, I have a vj628 as well but I kind of doubt anyone is going to know much. Can the company you bought it from help? Are the tcip settings correct? I’m hoping to turn mine into a dtf system or sell it. It’s almost brand new but we just use our large format printer more…
  4. Scan Motor Error 0010 SP300v

    I'd be willing to bet a new scan motor is all you need. That being said I've replaced the bearing block in our Rolands a few times. I have a used Scan motor that came out of a low mileage VP540 for $75 shipped if you want. I think I have two of them both out of VP540s. Personally I used to...
  5. XC-540 Service Mode

    start plugged in but powered off then u press : Down , Right , Left , Up , Right , Down , Left and after this u press these all AT THE SAME TIME : Left + Down + right + power button It's what they posted before but you need to kind get a good rhythm and smoothly enter the first sequence...
  6. CJV150 & JV150 - Horribly Inaccurate Colors - Don't know what to do :(

    Hi, it looks like you’ve got some experts on this but did the printers ever, at any point in the past, give you a good output? If you print test prints with solid cmyk colors do they look correct?
  7. Finecut 9 / Illustrator 2022 incompatability?

    Wait, finecut works in AI 2221?!? We're using a hacked version of AI 15... we could never get it to work in anything remotely current and it's driven us nuts as the hacked ai is a pita to install so we only have it on one of our workstations and it's hard to generate print files from home etc...
  8. What is the machine that can do this process? UV 3d labels? not a sticker?

    Wow, I'm definitely going to try this. We have a LEF-20 that we used to use for awards for running events and triathlons but with Covid it's just been sitting there... We usually use small pieces of removable double sided tape to hold sheets of film down to the platen since we don't have a...
  9. enduralam 2 bu-1400zjy-b

    Sorry to slightly hi-jack this thread but does anyone have a contact for Enduralam or US Tech? Trying to find out the specs on a transformer that shorted out in ours. Thanks! Tai
  10. US Tech / Endura Laminator Contact / Parts

    Hi, By any chance does anyone know a contact for US Tech or Endura laminators? I've searched the forum with no luck and searched online as well. Looking for a power supply or just the amperage spec for the power supply for a 55" Endura that we have. Purchased it new but second hand from...
  11. General Formulation 222 - Thoughts?

    Gf222 is great stuff for stickers. That or the gloss equivalent Bigfish, is that your new line?
  12. MIMAKI CG130FX

    Hello, we have the larger cg160fxii and it is a very good cutter but we have been very frustrated with the finecut software and even using it with onyx. We wish we had purchased the graphtec
  13. Mimaki JV300 160-Plus Ink Chips & 3rd Party Inks

    That or lavaink sells chips. Had better luck with theirs than many others we tried on our jv300. We had a ton of defective mimaki chips (sb4 dye sub ink) so we always had a stack of aftermarket chips to pop in as it was easier than dealing with getting replacements from mimaki each time
  14. I think i may have made the biggest mistake ever buying a new Mutoh

    Hi, bummer on all the problems. I think what a lot of people are hinting at is that it’s likely that the lack of profiles isn’t the main issue. It sounds more like your machine has adjustment/alignment or encoder issues. You already got the bi-directional alignment done which was probably a...
  15. Textured wall wrap tools

    I have the geek wraps big boy and it’s a great tool although I haven’t tried the heat gun mount if there is one for it. Wish they weren’t so $$ so we could buy a few more. We bought a big 40+” wide tennis court roller the other day and used it to install a 1000’ sqft floor graphic and it was...
  16. Mutoh VJ-628X Help

    Hi Tomi, I would figure out where you're going to buy ink from and contact them about parts. As I mentioned it might be hard to find the body panels but it seems like you're okay without that. It's a nice little printer but we are running sawgrass dye sub ink through it which costs way to much...
  17. Mutoh VJ-628X Help

    Hi, I have one these as well and I would suggest trying to see who the original seller was and contact them for parts. Is it set up for sublimation or solvent? If it’s sublimation I’d guess that you’ll find a number of dealers, coastal business, conde, etc who might be able to help. I’m...
  18. DTG printing advice

    Hi, the dtg will open up a lot of printing options but be aware that it will be the most complicated part of your print offerings. The epson and brother are both refined machines but will still have issues and pretreatment + printing + drying is really slow even compared to dye sub. There will...
  19. Printed Windscreen?

    It could be sublimated poly mesh banner. It's like a higher end and much lighter and more flexible than regular mesh banner. It's used a lot for foldable fencing at events and such but does cost slightly more. Sorry, I don't have a source I can share but it's got to be fairly easy to find.
  20. Laminate material help

    We've had very good results with Oracal 210 series laminates gloss and matte. Before that we used General Formulations and like the Oracal better even though we use GF for most of our printable media. This works well for large format products, vinyl, pvc, etc and we've only used it without...
