  1. SP300i - Can't access wiper blade carriage

    IIRC while in maintenance mode you need to push the down arrow button. That moves the carriage out. If you're replacing the wipers you will also have to reset that in the maintenance menu. Otherwise it will keep chirping saying they need to be replaced.
  2. Question Prints have “overspray”

    Clean the encoder strip then try it.
  3. Covid Sick Time?

    Check with DOL regarding FMLA for Covid. As far as abusing "Covid leave" that's a real issue. Here is a "hypothetical": Unless it was convenient to go to class many students claimed they had Covid/close contact and stopped showing up. These same students also claimed they couldn't get a Covid...
  4. New 1324x!

    Yeah, keep a close eye on the barf bottle. Mine was filling up in a few weeks with the factory defaults. With the way I have it now it takes a long time to fill. I emptied it yesterday, previous dump was May 20th. But I do use a lot of cleaning solution. You will need to keep the lines...
  5. New 1324x!

    I'm assuming a 1324X is the baby brother to my 1624X. If so here's how it goes. 6 hours is the default leaning and will run 1 liter bags dry in a hurry. Been there done that. Timer starts when the machine is powered up. First thing to do is set it to short cleanings. Use the right hand...
  6. Indoor Blade Sign

    https://lmgtfy.app/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fduckduckgo.com%2F%3Fq%3Dsign%2Bbrackets%2Bfor%2Bwall%26iax%3Dimages%26ia%3Dimages Had to do it. Weird how many people come here asking for stuff and not giving specific details. It also seems they have no idea how to use Google or any of the other search...
  7. CJV150 & JV150 - Horribly Inaccurate Colors - Don't know what to do :(

    Hmmm...that's a tough one. With my Mutoh there are times I run an Orajet 3640 720x720 profile on Arlon 6000XRP material.(works a treat) Reason is with certain colors I get ever so slight banding. Never bothered the clients, but they don't seem to be as picky. We are our own worst enemies...
  8. Eco-Solvent ink fades easily

    Probably has something to do with the dollar a gallon ink that came with the printer. Either that or it's aqueous ink which has the lifespan of a gnat, which is 18-30 days in case you were interested.
  9. CJV150 & JV150 - Horribly Inaccurate Colors - Don't know what to do :(

    This semester we may be training students how to build profiles for our Mimaki roll fed printers. If we do I can share the profiles with no guarantee on improving your current situation. Can't promise anything since I don't know if we're going that direction. Odd thing with your issue is...
  10. CJV150 & JV150 - Horribly Inaccurate Colors - Don't know what to do :(

    There are some profiling gurus on the forum. Might be worth spending the money to get your system dialed in. As far as profiling a Mimaki printer that is doable. Any printer supporting ICC framework can be profiled.
  11. How to increase workshop productivity?

    Can spin it any way you want but it's his business, his rules. Maybe the workers should have read the fine print of the employee handbook. It also has nothing about making money off of employees backs. Someone F'ed up, didn't admit it and the whole crew got punished. Can you say peer...
  12. Things I did when I was younger & dumber

    Like an extension ladder on top of a 20 foot tall scaffold on a truck? Yeah, I would never do that..:rolleyes:
  13. How to increase workshop productivity?

    Not sure at this time. I've been out of that environment for over 15 years. I would think a private entity would have more flexibility in that regard. e.g. A shop owner doing high end restorations was finishing a Rolls Royce. One morning he came in to do the final prime and blocking...
  14. New Print Business - What Equipment Do You Recommend

    LOL yup, but absolutely no complaints with the gorgeous prints though. The powers that be still won't let me print direct our doors, or on t-shirts, shoes or...well you get the picture. dangit So much untapped potential.
  15. Flexi sign and print 19 to 21

    My question is why upgrade? If my copy of Flexi 7.6 pro would have driven my new printer I would still be using that. I'm running my paid for Flexi 12 right now and that should take me into and past retirement. As far as design software I have but rarely use anything Adobe. Started to lean on...
  16. New Print Business - What Equipment Do You Recommend

    I run a JFX 200 in the lab and while it prints beautifully it ain't no speed demon. Once I show students how to load media and get it running we walk away. 600x900 print mode. Standing there watching it print is like waiting for paint to dry. But maybe that's just me. YMMV Of course that...
  17. Contour Cutting Window Perf

    I only print at my shop so no colored vinyl. Got out of that mess of carrying 80 to 90 colors and a client needing something I didn't have. All cut vinyl gets subbed out to a local shop.
  18. How to increase workshop productivity?

    The "B" part is simple. Employees buy all their own tools and take their own tools on the job. Expensive specialty tools are bought by the company and signed out by the crew leader of that job.. If it goes missing it comes out of their paycheck. Same thing in the shop. You sign out a...
  19. Contour Cutting Window Perf

    Possible, but too much left to chance. As weird as it sounds it's faster to cover with vinyl and Sharpie in new marks.
