  1. graphtec issues.............

    I seem to remember one of the firmware upgrades changed the default line type to a pounce type. Look in Function1/pref line type. Line type no. should = off.
  2. JV3-160SP Pull Battery to reset Date?

    Well Mimaki themselves have seen fit to extend their short expiration dated carts by way of hacking their own firmware. This has obviously been brought about by people refusing to purchase the short dated inks. Case in point: I bought a brand new CJV printer/cutter in June/July which came...
  3. JV33/CJV new firmware to extend ink carts

    As the topic title says, I've just had new frimware installed on my CJV which will extend the expiry date on cartridges for up to 6 months. This is obviously in response to people complaining about getting ink with short expiration dates and sending them back. Apparently now when it shows up...
  4. FC7000 MK2 or Mimaki CG 130SR2

    Roadrage, the OP is asking about the CG-SR model. I'm not sure if these are available in US but they have been released elsewhere as a kind of "bottom of the range" model. This is not a CG-FX cutter - unfortunately. It's like it's been built down to a price. Over here it's half the price of a...
  5. FC7000 MK2 or Mimaki CG 130SR2

    Well I have the FC7000 here and had the CGSRII here for a few weeks. (sent it back) I can tell you without doubt that the Graphtec beats that Mimaki model hands down. Build quality - the Mimaki looks like a cheap ebay plotter, plastic and lightweight. Speed - The Graphtec is twice as fast...
  6. JV33 default settings

    Did you get back up running yet? Some of my inks will expire soon so I'll have to either try the chips or remove the battery. More info would be appreciated. BTW, I contacted my tech and he said something about being able to extend the expiration time but hasn't got back to me yet.
  7. Mimaki Profile Master II Software

    You could try contacting Mimaki's Australian distributors at dgsmimaki.com.au. I enquired about getting it with my new printer package but they weren't too keen either for some reason. Then they told me the price - over $4k AUD - so after that I wasn't too keen either! I'm using an i1 with...
  8. JV33 Head Issues

    Interesting, I didn't realise they had valves which needed to be opened first. If, say you wanted to only work on one color, could you just open that valve? In other words if you have Cyan nozzles out or you wanted to do a Cyan ink fill, could you just select to open the cyan valve so you're...
  9. Installing New profiles to colorChoice

    I had that problem with my FJ50 and an older version of Colorchoice. I was able to successfully use my own CMYK profiles, but it didn't recognize my CMYKLcLm profile.
  10. Stop me from streaking!

    Really? I prefer CMYK cause it's more like mixin' paint. My custom palette consists of mainly CMYK colors, along with some RGB oranges and reds. Kinda weird that this is only happening with a straight cmyk color though. I'd like to hear from other "streakers" to see if we can find some...
  11. Stop me from streaking!

    Hi all. I gotta report I'm getting the same streaking on a job I'm trying to print with my new CJV30 through Signlab. The color is dark blue C90,M70,Y10,K20 straight CMYK with no colour correction. I've tried 8 pass, 16 pass, hi speed, normal speed, unidirection all have the streaks. Also...
  12. cjv30-130

    Hello Gurupreet, I've just bought one of these too so would be happy to try to exchange info and ideas as they come up. Regarding cutting, I can't imagine trying to cut through a banner and not sure why you'd want to?? For cutting vinyl I use the following pressures: Vinyl only - 50g Vinyl...
  13. Graphtec 5000 or 8000 whats the difference?

    Hey Jase how much did you pay for your 8000's? I asked Anitech here in Adelaide and they wanted nearly $14k ($AUD) for the 54" model. As to the original question - I have the 7000-75 and it's a great cutter and the ARMS works perfectly.
  14. Cutting the contour cut out of Signlab v7.1

    There's probably a different driver for ones with and without ARMS. You could try loading a graphtec driver - should work. I have the FC7000 working beautifully for print & cut.
  15. JV33 Banding

    What part of the profiling would cause banding?? I ask because I've just made a profile for Signlab which is every bit as good as the Rasterling profiles but I have more noticable banding with mine. It's like a lawnmower effect - printing Bi Dir the up pass looks a different color to the...
  16. JV33 pros and cons

    I think that's what you get at one of those manscaping day spas. Goes along with the back sack & crack wax!:omg:
  17. JV33 pros and cons

    Hi all, I have a CJV30 now and am still wondering about the interval for sleep cleaning and refresh settings? My tech had no idea what to set it at. I'm thinking every 6 hours for both cleaning and refresh. This is using Eco HS1 ink which I think is similar to SS21. What do you guys recommend?
  18. Cutting the contour cut out of Signlab v7.1

    Is this a printer or cutter or both? Anyway, assuming you have a printer and cutter installed and the cutter has reg mark sensing... Select the graphic to be printed and contour cut, make sure it has a contour cut line (dashed) around it. Select print & cut. Click ... next to...
  19. Some advise needed

    Thanks Mike, I figured you would've noticed when removing the stuff. I bought the 203 and a roll of their clear 102 for less than the price of a roll of 3551. The clear works well - we printed some large window graphics in reverse on it. Although the backing paper is thin and curls easily. I...
  20. Some advise needed

    Lots of good info there from Insignia as usual! Just a question about the Concept 203: I've just bought a roll of this to try and I cut off a piece to play with/test out and noticed that the adhesive wasn't very tacky. It feels like Avery EZRS - the slidable adhesive. Anyway I stuck it...
