We had a Mimaki and although a great machine it was too slow for us and we had to find something faster as our demand kept increasing. Very easy to run and maintain, and it was very dependable. To print a 4x8 it took almost 17 minutes printing CMYK though so if you have high volume or expect...

Look into the Vision engravers. They have a 12" x 12" table that I believe you can integrate the braille pen in the machine to insert the beads. We have the 1212, Max Pro and the 2550 from them.

If latex is a must either the HP 560 or 570.

If ink is dripping out of your head I would say its time for a new head. I never touch the head on our Mutoh just clean around it.

Is the head as ancient as your printer? Could be the head going out and you might be getting droplets building up on the head and dragging. Can you see ink starting to drip out of the head?

Look up Yello Tools Timber Max. I can apply 4'x8' sheets by myself just hinge in the center.

not sure what -30% is. We print backlit signs all the time. We print color white color with the front color being 100% color then white then the back color at 50% to avoid washout when the lights are on.

Solution get rid of the 1625 and go with the 16h. We had nightmares with the 1625 the first 1.5 years. EFI agreed to do a machine swap and we then did an upgrade. 16h is way better with minor hickups.

Zund all the way. Yes they are at the top of the price range but it will last forever and finishes everything amazing. Very easy to use. We have had ours 3 years and not 1 tech visit. No need and buying a lower end model to have to eventually upgrade later.

Trial and error. I would imagine you will need to go to the top of the bottom aluminum layer to get a good clean fold to where the edges match up well without gaps.

Juki 1560 Double Needle with .5" needle spacing. I used to heat weld but stitch everything now.

Depending on the material being printed on you could have a bad batch. Try an adhesion promoter and see if that helps. Are you cleaning the material before printing? We have been running a 6042 and 3042 for about 7 years and have not had adhesion issues except on some glass at times. We are...

What are the UCJV Printers costing? We have looked into selling our EFI 16H and going true roll to roll but it sounds slow. The max print speed is 277 sqft/hr where the max print speed on the EFI is 976 sqft/hr. Why the big difference is my question. Going to go to Printing United show to...

a quick run through Vector Magic and about 15 minutes of clean up and you will be good to go.

Pyrosil Flame treatment is recommended by a lot of manufacturers. We just got some stuff from Kolorcure. Have not tried glass but their metal adhesion promoter works well.

Its not going to completely die out but it is very limited these days. Most people now want a pantone color instead of a stock color vinyl. Yes many brands now have pantone colors but why stock all that vinyl when you can have a single roll and do a print/cut.

Not sure what your unhappy about I ran a JFX200 using those inks for 6 years and never had any problems. I would stay away from China inks.

the larger companies will run their machines on a faster profile. They are looking to get them out the door as fast as possible. 98% of the time we run all of our signage at showroom quality even yard signs. In doing that we have a lot of return customers as they don't think about these signs...

You have to stick to your guns. There is a shop in town that prices UV printing so cheap at times I wonder how they are staying open. There are only 2 companies in town that have a cutter/router with us being one of them. I get bids on projects all the time and they come back and ask if I can...

Mimaki will make it almost impossible for you to do on your own. When we sold our JFX-200 the buyer wanted to flush the machine himself before moving instead of having a technician do it. The instructions he found were not very clear. Basically you need to flush out all the old ink, change...
