Ever have a wide format before? You won't get photographic quality like you do with desktop printers. They're designed for speed and wide material. They print great quality... Just not what you're used to! I suggest asking your dealer for some samples. If they have no demo units... Hp is...

What are you going to be printing with it? Solvent is grainy as well in certain colors. No printers are perfect - the newest latex is much less grainy... There isn't a perfect printer. Why rule out the Epson r series? Latex technology with almost as good print quality as their solvent...

Make your own profile. The Epson takes very little heat compared to a Latex, I've printed on a ton of material we couldn't print on with our latex - Even cheap $100 rolls print fine...you just need to make your own profile. Latex / Resin is different from solvent, you cant just use 1 profile...

You're going to wrap a truck eit permanent calandered vinyl? You do need some help! Anyways. What profile are you printing with? Did your tech not go through how to use the printer with you? My guess is you're on the wrong profile and it's using too much heat. I can print on cheap $100...

All machines are meant to be running 24/7. They go into their own "sleep" mode where they don't take up much power - but it allows them to run critical operations such as cleanings. Doesn't even matter the technology... UV needs to stay on for the pressure vacuum / cleanings, solvent for...

Keep it on. You may want to cry when you see all the cleanings it does between prints, and its just spitting all that ink into the waste bottle... but would you rather waste a few hundred bucks in ink a year, or have to buy a new $3000 x 2 head? Thats the downside to solvent printers - It...

680 is easy to remove. It may leave behind some glue if it's a year old, but you can spray some glue remover in it and hit wipes off. We do full police car removals in under an hour when it's 680. 2000 was what we order minimum for free shipping... But I got it mixed. It used to be $500 but...

I already uninstalled cm5. I haaaate it compared to cm4. Cm4 took a bit to get used to... But I feel like cm5 is such a huge change for the worst. Unless a illustrator version comes out that cm4 did working for, I'm sticking to cm4

You can buy direct from nikkalite... I believe it's a $2000 minimum order, and you get it at like 75%, or even less the cost of other suppliers - Ours was half... We may get a bit steeper discount since we use 10-20 rolls a month, but you'll still probably save tons going direct.

Nikkalite is good, we use tons of it. However I'd never use it on a vehicle wrap - it's non removable.... And if you ever need to do a repair, or remove it, it'll cost ten times as much as you saved by not using a removable vehicle grade vinyl. We do 12" x 12" decals for one customer - it's...

You can use expired ink without worrying too much too. I wouldn't use something that's 6-12 months past expired... But I've known people who have and it didn't do anything to their machine. Look at the 260 - hp stopped supporting it a (few?) Years ago. You can still buy after market ink and...

I mainly use Vector magic. As mentioned...it does do some weird things, its not perfect. I only use it for the clients that send me a shitty image, get advised their shitty image wont look good blown up to a 4x8, and tell me to just do it - I figure a quick autotrace makes it a lot better than...

I installed CM5 on my art room PC... not ready to install it on my production PC (2023, with CM4). I get an error when trying to open it up.... I can open it from the program itself, but the illustrator plugin throws an error. I hate the new look from what I can see of it. It feels like...

This is what I did when I had the CM4 time out error. It fixed it - I was on windows though,so its a bit different than what the video shows... but you can likely figure it out pretty easy following his mac steps.

https://www.graphtec.co.jp/site_download/cm5/cm5_en_w.html CM5 supports 2023. Didnt know CM5 was out... installing now!

Have a photo? It comes apart really easy. I had to do a ton of removal for the take up reel setup, nothing tricky... Just unscrew it pretty much.

We have a recycling facility every other block. You can bring paint cans, ink containers it whatever you want to them, it's convenient. We do the 55 gallon barrel thing because we do a lot of screen printing and other chemical stuff - so we fill one up every year and just call it in. IIRC...

So, how do things work down in america? Over here Grimco / ND graphics / etc, the people that sell the printer and products have their own tech's and service the printers. Which is nicemmm because since they want to sell you media and ink, they make sure your printer is up and running as fast...

Yup. I've worked for small companies, and companies that employed hundreds of people - At every company they realized losing employees is part of the business. We've always paid for training...with a Caveat of if you leave within 6 months, you pay back the cost of the training - by the 6 month...
