    Talk to your 3M rep and have them get you a 3M Wall Test Kit.
  2. Anyone knows how to do cutting prior to printing in the Mimaki CJV 150?

    You will still have the same trouble cutting before printing. Actually, I bet it will be worse. You HAVE to wait until the decals FULLY outgass before you can plot the vinyl. I assume you're not laminating or waiting (on the solvents to outgass) to laminate either?
  3. Need Help Just brought home (to business) a used Mimaki JV3-160S and no main power

    Check your outlet is working. Check your cables are firmly plugged into the machine. Check the power switch on the REAR of the machine is "on". Check the power switch on the front of the machine is "on". The next steps require you to open panels on the machine and check fuses.

  8. Need Help Has anyone Purchased the new S60600 printer

    I think you are referring to the 80600 series. We have seen it demo'd and it looks even more awesome than our current generation 70670/70675 printers that we love. We run Onyx 11 here and do a LOT of large prints/runs. Tried latex and wasn't happy, so we went with Epson and love it.

  10. Head scratcher weeding issue?

    Check your blade with a loupe, it probably needs changed. Ours get "mysteriously damaged" here occasionally, I think a bit of grit gets picked up by static off the floor sometimes and the blade tip gets chipped off. However, if taking the blade holder out and re-seating it "helps" then your...
  11. Anyone printing clear decals? What Printer is best for you?

    The printers I am talking about above are Epson SureColor S70670 and an Epson SureColor S70675. We also have Gerber Edge Thermal printers which do a fair amount of printing on white also.
  12. Anyone printing clear decals? What Printer is best for you?

    We do a good amount of prints on clear and also use the white ink for other things. We use Epson SureColor Eco-Solvent printers. They do a great job for us. HOWEVER, we still have yet to use the (other, optional) metallic ink for any retail job.

  14. Question Is There a Clear Vinyl for Textile Use?

    No idea what "textile vinyl" is. There are tons of "clear vinyls" of different degrees of clarity. Optically clear vinyl might be what you want, but it has to be applied wet.
  15. Variable data on decals

    Variable data is also built into InDesign. Make your single-up file in InDesign and run the variable data program to generate your new doc of all the "finished" data. Then export that into a PDF and then place those into a new IN or IL document. Protip: Put the "CutContour" spot color in the...

    Sounds like there are a lot of options, we use Onyx RIP to drive multiple printers/plotters here.
  17. Looking for a printable, plotter cutable, prismatic material

    Reflexite by Oracal "SHOULD" be cut-able, but not for small pieces, I know it is solvent printable. Avery also just came out with some new similar reflective vinyls, I only have some small samples of them though so I have never tried printing on them. Either way, you're going to have to do a...

    You can use just about any no-curl banner. You can use any matte laminate, if you want to be fancy use a floor laminate. No one is really going to scratch these up. You can hand cut new "hanger tabs" from thin sintra/plastic/pvc stock if you have an original as a template. You can buy magnet...
  19. Why no love for 3M vinyl?

    I think I've tried most brands, and I almost exclusively use 3M products whenever possible.
  20. data matrix generator

    Be careful using online generators, as a lot of the time they go through a "proxy" of their own to get you to the info and track you. Also, if their proxy/site ever goes down all your decals are now junk. A customer of ours had a hot air balloon "printed" with a QR code they made through an...
