  1. Mimaki CG-STii plotter won't read crop marks - ideas appreciated pls.

    WOW! It works! At last - after 2 years of owning this beast! I thought the sensor must have been near the LED, but after buying the service manual, I saw the sensor was actually right at the BACK of the carriage head. Being only 2.5mm gap, doing anything was hard, in the cleaning department...
  2. Mimaki CG-STii plotter won't read crop marks - ideas appreciated pls.

    Thanks, Andy, I'll go and recheck, but as far as I know it was exactly that which you had. 10mm long, about 0.5mm thick, type 1, four of them, 5" from the leading edge, 3" from the nearest side, Myron, thanks, I did get a service manual, and i see the sensor if much further back than I...
  3. L25500 hard drive upgrade

    P.S. what did you pay for all that? I could have sold you the lot, off one machine, as we have two L25500s here! And 6 or 7 new heads, and 10 or 14 ink cartridges, unopened. But yes, in the service manual is the steps for geting the HD to be happy. I don;t have the manual on this PC. I may...
  4. L25500 hard drive upgrade

    Phew... what a mess! I made the mistake some time ago buying a latex printer in which the seller has removed all 'expendable items' is all ink cartridges, heads, waste bucket, head cleaning tray, etc. and despite me buying new ones, it simply would not handle the fact they'd been taken out all...
  5. Mimaki CG-STii plotter won't read crop marks - ideas appreciated pls.

    Thanks, yes, we auto-created the crop marks/reg marks in Finecut, just like that, too, before exporting to PDF and printing on teh L260. The plotter itself cannot seem to find the marks though, when it is told to look for them. The head moves as if it is all happening correctly, but then the...
  6. Mimaki CG-STii plotter won't read crop marks - ideas appreciated pls.

    Thanks for both replies. The black marks are nicely black, to me - as good as 100%K as I'd like, and are about 10mm long x 2mm wide. I can try and go over them with a felt pen, but I'm not sure it'll make any difference. Using the console on the plotter to search for crop marks (via the...
  7. Mimaki CG-STii plotter won't read crop marks - ideas appreciated pls.

    I found a service manual & parts manual on Ebay. We'll see what it divulges... after I get the download link. Thanks for the idea.
  8. Mimaki CG-STii plotter won't read crop marks - ideas appreciated pls.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm using the normal ones like four letter L that stick out past the boundaries. I've forgotten the type number, (1 I think) but it is correct for the type I use. I used Finecut to set them in the original file, before sending the PDF to the HP Latex printer. Service...
  9. Mimaki CG-STii plotter won't read crop marks - ideas appreciated pls.

    (P.S. That should be CG-SRii, not STii, but it won't let me edit the title) Firstly, it's a lovely plotter, and Finecut, operating from Win 7 was great too. (problems getting Win-10 to load Finecut, but that's no great issue- we just use an older PC instead.) But we bought the plotter with...
  10. Enroute, Vcarve Pro, or Aspire

    I started with Enroute 3, then 4, and other than a bit of a learning curve, I really like it. 2D, 2.5 D & 3D. I can't say I've had a problem at all that was due to ER, other than operator error. When you understand how it works, it's good - and surprisingly powerful. I've not used the other...

    HI, you mentioned that getting Win-10 to work with Finecut was an easy Macro fix. I'm interested in knowing how that happens, or how it is remedied, please. When I fun Finecut (the win-10-64 version) it says "Installed Corel Draw Not Found" installation terminating. Thanks, Ian Stewart-Koster
  12. First time PVC user - Can I flat glue small pieces to wood signs/ exterior

    PVC has a much greater expansion/contraction rate than timber, as temperature changes during the day. It is generally regarded as unsuitable in many exposed/sunlit situations like that, if you want it to last, glued, without falling off. You might get it to work, but you will be in precarious...
  13. FineCut 8 cannot find installed CorelDraw

    I'd appreciate knowing, thanks. Our Win10 PC would not accept X5, so I put Corel 2019 on it. No problems. Then I installed the Mimaki finecut USB #1 & #2 exe files, and tried the CG SRii driver - no go. I ran the most recent version of Finecut, and it would have installed, but gave me the same...
  14. Finecut 9 Software CD request

    Didn't you ever watch Mission Impossible? "This message will self-destruct in 15 seconds.....Boom!"
  15. Finecut 9 Software CD request

    (but it's a secret, so you'd better not let-on you know!) ;)
  16. Finecut 9 Software CD request

    There is a very simple workaround I discovered when we accidentally broke the middle of our FC cd taking it out of the silly plastic container. Luckily I'd saved the contents long before, though. But all you need to do is take a blank cd, and format it or burn it with the CD label being the word...
  17. Need Help How many passes can I use

    1000 signs? How big? Is screen printing them an option?
  18. SignLab v5...

    Email Matthew Thomas at precisionpackaging@bigpond.com in Brisbane, Australia. He has a dongle and CD for Signlab v.6 for sale. (He uses Corel entirely, hence does not need Signlab)
  19. Looking to sell - HP Designjet L25500 - Any Ideas?

    Hi, I got your message. I'll reply properly by email with the age and colours; but I had a quick look and for the L25500, there are 10 unused, unopened, 789 cartridges of varying dates, mostly 2017, and 6 heads, unopened, unused, dated mostly 2017, and 2018. Plus we have 7 partly full cartridges...
  20. Looking to sell - HP Designjet L25500 - Any Ideas?

    Where are you from? I'll part with the 25500 inks and heads- but I'm still using the 260s.
