  1. Roland BN2 - Can you set up a timer to print once a day while I'm away?

    Okay thank you for the information, there are some unnecessary fear-inducing articles out there regarding not printing for three days.
  2. Roland BN2 - Can you set up a timer to print once a day while I'm away?

    Hi, Currently looking at purchasing a BN2 and while it's desperately needed for my business, it obviously can't be left for long periods of time without printing. So is there a software, or any settings on Versaworks that has a timing that makes the printer print a file once per day at a...
  3. Mimaki UCJV 300-160 - Refurbished nozzle check - Black bleeding into yellow is apparently normal?

    Okay thank you. How can I check the system pressure - is there a specific name for it when searching the manual? How can I check the cap top is sealing and draining properly, and how can I check if the wiper is making good contact? Are there subsystems I can go into that give me this...
  4. Mimaki UCJV 300-160 - Refurbished nozzle check - Black bleeding into yellow is apparently normal?

    Hi, I'm buying a refurbished Mimaki UCJV 300-160 and the tech who was showing me the machine showed me the nozzle check, and apart from the obvious problems he told me that on "these" machines the black always shows up in the yellow nozzle check. Is he correct, or is he just lying? Thanks.
  5. Canon Pro 2100 for stickers and decals.

    I'm selling to people who put them on all manner of different things, waterbottles that go in the dishwasher, snowboards, bumper stickers on cars, so when you say that they are calendered materials do you mean within a year they will be problematic or longer?
  6. Canon Pro 2100 for stickers and decals.

    Contrary to my name, i'm only a boy when it comes to stickers. I'm doing about 200 stickers a week in individual sales and I'm happily using the Mimaki UJV 100-160 at work to print some ludicriously good looking stickers. They are illustration based stickers, vibrant, and come out waterproof and...
  7. Mimaki UV Inks LUS 120 v LUS 170?

    Hi, i've been doing some research before coming here but unfortunately either i'm poor at it or it's all very generic marketing material without much substance. What are the differences between LUS 120 v 170? I have an option to install a Mimaki UCJV 300-107 with either Mimaki LUS 170, or to...
  8. Mimaki UCJV 300-75 Moving from one location to another 150 miles.

    Okay great, thanks for your help. It doesn't seem to be as difficult as I first anticipated, one more question and i'm finished: In the manual: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1481533/Mimaki-Ucjv300-75.html?page=128#manual What term do I need to search to find how to lock the printhead in...
  9. Mimaki UCJV 300-75 Moving from one location to another 150 miles.

    Hi, it's currently out of warranty, and it's time dependent. I'm moving it from Manchester to Birmingham so a fairly long-ish drive in a transit van. Is there are checklist of things for me to do to the printer before unplugging it and driving it for two hours down the motorway? The plan at...

  14. Trying to settle on a printer for home production decals.

    TLDR: Need printer for vibrant cartoon stickers, 1000 a week, printed on 100mic self adhesive roll, printer needs to be okay if left for couple of weeks at a time, would prefer ink to be water resistant/scratch resistant but can laminate if necessary, budget is up to £11,000, but would...

  17. Mimaki CG-FXII Plus 160 cutting 0.6mm Magnet Rubber and it keeps slipping/moving

    Hi, The magnetic rubber is 0.6mm thick, 360mm across and 650mm in length. I set up the cutter so all 4 pinch motors are across the cutting sheet for maximum hold. I put the levers up at the back so it has maximum grip on the sheet with the rollers, as per the manual. When I set it to detect...
  18. Discussion Plotter/Cutter of Choice?

    I'm using a Mimaki CG-FXII Plus Series and I always have trouble setting it up to die cut stickers that have been printed by our Mimaki UJV 100-160 printer (UV). Do I need to fiddle with the blade height for each different sticker, because the UV ink sits ontop of the vinyl and makes it a tiny...
  19. CJV150-130

    Thanks for the reply, is the CJV150 (SS21) an eco solvent ink or solvent ink? Does it smell when you print, i'm currently in a small office for the moment and the printer is only 5 feet away from me.
  20. CJV150-130

    Are there any known issues or inherent problems with the machine? What are some tips for me as I'm getting the smaller brother Mimaki CJV150-107 Print and Cut soon. I'm doing stickers, is it worth adding an Orange ink to the machine?
