  2. Offshore Boat wrap designs?

    Why not hire it out to an experienced designer?
  3. How to be profitable with eBay pricing?

    FWIW - you don't know what the real deal is with something like that. Could be a guy that's working 3rd shift at a print or sign shop by himself and is making these banners and taking them home so the boss don't know - so the only thing he has in it is the shipping. Or could be he found a free...

    Awesome stuff!
  5. Summa WinPlot Issue Help

    What is your emulation mode in Summa Cutter control under User Configuration set to? I know we've had some weirdness where it has switched between AUTO and HP/GL and thus causes weird communication issues on our Summa D140. I think we always leave ours set to auto, but once in a while it...
  6. Need Help Mutoh ValueJet 1614 print colors skewed

    I'll be honest, we don't use Flexi here - so I probably won't be of much help with actual application support or tips on how to tweak it... Disregard what I said about ICC profiles - that's more a factor if you're setting up files in actual print software like Adobe Photoshop or...
  7. Need Help Mutoh ValueJet 1614 print colors skewed

    And BTW - after looking at your pics I notice the Black, Cyan, Yellow and Green all look pretty close, but your purple and magenta are off. This leads me to believe you have an issue with the magenta channel not printing with all nozzles firing -OR- you have an issue with your file/profile in...
  8. Need Help Mutoh ValueJet 1614 print colors skewed

    If you're new to printing realize there is a LOT to learn and know in order to understand how to get good colors and consistent output. I've been working in prepress and digital printing for over 20 years and I still am learning...below are some thoughts that are just the tip of the iceberg...
  9. Brand New GFP Installed - Tips and Tricks?

    Just got ours about 3 months ago and have been very happy with the machine itself - though the takeup reel we purchased is another story.... Anyway, if you watch the videos on Youtube they tell you as you lower the rollers down, feel the tension go slack once the rollers touch and keep...
  10. GRIMCOOOOO!! ANYONE ELSE HAVING PROBLEM WITH THEM?

    Went from a poor relationship with Grimco to a great one about 4 years ago with a new sales rep they hired. She was fantastic, called me a couple times a month and usually stopped in at least once a month to check on me and see how I was doing. As such, she took away a lot of business from...
  11. Need Help Is Oralite 5600 eco-solvent printable?

    Exactly right - you can print on a variety of films that say they are "not printable" but you must wipe them down with alcohol first to remove any fingerprints, oils, etc that may contaminate the print. Been doing this for years with good results...
  12. Got to thinking................................

    Worked residential construction summers when in high school, and also for a few years out of high school. Learned how to do basic carpentry, masonry, a little bit of electrical and plumbing and a whole lot of crap work. Went to a tech school for graphic arts, then got in the offset printing...

    Yes, I've ordered supplies from them and had no issues. Solvent inkjet would be another good choice to use as well.

  15. Suggestions Mutoh Bad Colors

    Go to 3M's site and download their profiles for intermediate matte and gloss as well as premium matte and gloss - those will handle most intermediate and even some wrap vinyls. We run them on many different stocks and sometimes merely tweak heat for other materials. If it doesn't print well...
  16. Suggestions Mutoh Bad Colors

    OK, so waayyy to many variables to nail down a simple answer, so lets start with the basics; 1. What software are you creating your artwork in for printing? 2. Are you designing in RGB or CMYK or other? If CMYK, are you using Pantone spot colors, or CMYK values? 3. What file type are you...
  17. Just In What's that radius? Check our our Radius & Circle Center Finder Tool ($1)

    That would work as well. In my situation I can usually figure out the radius the old fashioned way, but a pre-printed guide would be slick! Again, you guys get these ready and I'll buy at least 2 from you, lol.
  18. Mutoh 1324X 54 or MIMAKI JV-150-130 54"

    We've had nothing but Mutohs in our shop since I opened in 2009. That said, I would strongly suggest looking at the 1624x instead of the 1324x. Both have basically same head, same print quality but when I had a 1304 I found that even though it was a 54" printer, some 54" rolls would not fit...
