  1. Should I buy this saw?

    I have the same one and it works great, although as mentioned they are messy and you need to clean up after using it or you will find ACM bits everywhere.
  2. I don't think this fell off from any car wash

    A driver for a customer I have done numerous vehicles for came in a few weeks back telling me the vinyl is coming off the vehicles. I went out and looked at it and it is coming off all from the top and the glue is left exposed. First thing out of my mouth was that this was hit with a pressure...
  3. Mimaki JV150-130 just shut down

    Been a week so far..tech found that one of the power supplies was not giving out the proper power. He said it was 280 to replace and I said to proceed. I knew in the back of my mind that even though it might need replacing, we were not going to be resolved and now we have to replace the IO...
  4. Mimaki jv3 130 spII runs out of ink but no low warning!!!

    When they run out of ink...the printer should stop
  5. Flexi view command shows something I never noticed before in a file

    The weird thing is that I made a cut line outside of that, sent a proof and was approved...I guess the client is unaware too. The reason I made my own cutline is that what looks like black on the outer edge is actually a dark grey then the blue dieline, then black, so one has to wonder why the...
  6. Mimaki JV150-130 just shut down

    I had just got back in the print room and was sitting at my desk reading an email and then the printer made a beep and these messages appeared... I also turned off the main power for about 30 minutes but she's dead. any idea what these mean and how much it's gonna cost?
  7. Flexi view command shows something I never noticed before in a file

    I received a file from a client (pdf) and opened it in Flexi, made my changes to get it ready for print and then I went into view filter and I see this one element and the view filter is calling it a dieline. I am curious how Flexi determined this. It really is not the dieline but a thin blue...
  8. Sharpie on laminate

    try a dry erase marker over the sharpie. I have heard it works, but have never had to try it
  9. Air Quality By You

    I'm just a little north of the Toronto boundary and yesterday started off hazy with the smell of a doused campfire...as the day went on it was extremely hazy and the smell changed to burning garbage...not nice..Today is pretty clear with no smells in the air
  10. How to tell the difference in Vinyl's.

    Tell the production manager to stop doing that... outside of that you can pull a corner and see how much it stretches to determine calendered vs cast
  11. New to Flexi, former Onyx user

    You need to download profiles off Flexi's site and then fiddle with them to find what works best
  12. Multi color vinyl production

    If you supply them pre cut and pre applied then will you not have issues with application from the two layers having air stuck between where they meet on the vehicle? I have experienced this in the past and never found a work around
  13. Flexi not plotting everything, just stops...

    I too have experienced this with my Summa S2... It usually happens on cuts involving a lot of cutting. I just send them out now in smaller groups and it seems to cut 100%. I wonder if it is the USB cable losing info...never liked plotting from those.
  14. Print Quality Question

    How do you choose the grey? I find if the file came from somewhere else than there is a good chance the printer does not seem to print the colour correctly. It's good to have colour charts printed off your printer so you can choose colours that your printer can print cleanly.
  15. Has Anyone E V E R Gotten................................................................

    I remeber reading that a write on erase marker will remove sharpie...never tried but you never know
  16. Arlon wrap material will not print properly with Arlon profile

    I think I may have figured this material out. I lowered the heat settings down to 38 / 43 / 48 and it is printing fine. I guess it was so hot it flashed off the ink... Makes me wonder why the profile was set at such high temps to begin with
  17. Drag knife landing?

    How far out is the blade exposed?
  18. Arlon wrap material will not print properly with Arlon profile

    Picked up this Briteline vinyl from Grimco. prints almost as bad...same sort of ink starvation issue in certain colours. I wonder if it is a heat issue. My printer prints great on all 3 mls and retractable banner material and I used to get Oracal wrap vinyl and always printed great as well. I...
  19. Arlon wrap material will not print properly with Arlon profile

    I have used most of the roll. It seems to print OK with solid colours although I still can see in odd print that ink starvation look. I have about 10 yards left on the roll so I called around and see that prices are through the roof. 3M quote for a bundle was $1900!!! I don't do vehicle...
  20. Arlon wrap material will not print properly with Arlon profile

    I'm trying to source a new roll of Oracal or Avery and the prices have gone through the roof on this stuff...no wonder the Arlon was a deal...it sucks lol
