  1. Silly Question ... Spray Bottles

    I got a EasyPump from Yellotools and will be ordering more. Continuous spray with it being pressurized. Dont think it will break easy.
  2. Discussion Why is this so common in most threads concerning costs........................??

    We turn down jobs left and right because people try to haggle our price down. When a customer comes in for a quote but then say swell billy down the street was X amount cheaper than you can you match his price we say no way. We have our materials and substrates that we know will produce a...
  3. Moving a Roland LEJ 640 ft

    We just sold on of our flatbeds. They were going further than 2-3 miles so we flushed the printer. We loaded it onto a standard flatbed gooseneck trailer and strapped it down. They covered it and went on their way. When they had it re installed at there shop they had zero issues with it...
  4. Mimaki jfx200 uv printer

    I would expect clogged nozzles. The printer should have performed it’s scheduled maintenance since it had power but after not running for that period of time hopefully you can run enough cleanings to recover the nozzles or you may be looking at new heads. I would also make sure the ink is not...
  5. Mimaki JFX200-2513 collecting fuzz or fibers from somewhere

    I would say it is a static problem. Try running a humidifier. We were having problems at certain times of the year and that solved it for us. Running a lot of plastic I would just plan on cleaning around the head every so often since that won’t take up much time
  6. Need Help Mimaki JFX200-2513 print durability outdoor

    I usually say 2-3 years depending on exposure to elements. Then the customer is happy if it last longer
  7. Need Help Mimaki JFX200-2513 cut edges ink chipping

    Is the material your using UV ink acceptable. I ran a JFX200 for 4 years and never had a problem with that. We printed/cut Coro, aluminum, ACM, aluminum and acrylic
  8. Need Help Ordering a Mimaki JFK 200-2513, Good Move?

    I ran a JFX 200 for many years. We had one of the first 9 that came to the states. We took a risk on word from our Mimaki rep and bought it without seeing it run. This is a great machine. I know the printer is supposed to change the filters every year but we never did and had the machine for...
  9. Graphic Tracer

    Will have to check it out. We have been using Vector Magic and it works very well. https://vectormagic.com/
  10. Printer to direct print to Coroplast, Mutoh 1638UV didn't work

    We had a Mimaki JFX200 and it printed coroplast no problem all day. We now have 2 EFI machines 16H Hybrid and 24F Flatbed. I can print 1 side of coroplast in about 8 minutes. All we do is clean with isopropyl alcohol and print.
  11. When does a vendor become a competitor?

    I personally will not spend any money with a vendor if they are also in the business of selling printed goods. They of course will be able to out bid me on any job since they will be getting the materials cheaper.
  12. Dealing with bowed material

    why not get 4'x8' sheets and cut them yourself? You would save yourself money and have control over the process. I buy hundreds of sheets of 040 aluminum and 3mm Palight PVC from Grimco and run full sheets no problem. A good sheer large enough will only run you a couple thousand, but will...
  13. 4over just cost us a major client

    Creative Banner or Showdown Displays. They are the same company just branded differently. We have used them for the feather flags and banner stands. Although we print the inserts in house to control that part we just use the hardware. I have never had a stand come in that has not worked and...
  14. RUST - Files -

    skepple.net Not sure if they have any files to buy but they do a lot of rust wrap designs.
  15. Need Help Two-sided banner EFI Pro 16H

    2 sided printing on this machine will be tough. You will need to use the fence to line it up to make sure it starts in the exact same spot on the feed. You will also have a hard time getting it lined up exactly centered on media. if you are not exactly centered on the media when you flip it...
  16. What kind of PC do you get for large format files .tiffs and such

    Do not go cheap on a design or RIP computer. We spend right about $3,000 on all design computers and $1,800 on RIP computers. The time it takes for a slow computer to process things is a pain and frustrating. We have ours built by a local company. If anything goes wrong they will have it...
  17. Recommendations for printer/cutter configuration

    I am going to go against the HP Hybrid UV Printers. They are good for most stuff but the EFI 16H has far better quality prints. I am saying that as I print stuff on our 16H for another sign company that has the HP 550 Hybrid machine. As far as a true flatbed not having enough speed that is...
  18. Printable "indoor/low tac" vinyl

    Avery 2611 is what we use all the time.
  19. Routing Ultraboard foam speeds and feeds smooth edge

    That yellow sign does not look like UltraBoard Foam Substrate. It looks more like a PVC to me. On foam products we knife cut them on our Zund.
  20. S50675 - Pantone Colors not matching. Cyan especially

    changes in the environment(temp/humidity) can change the colors. Might not be the problem but I notice it here mainly with humidity.
