May be not fair to compare basic OEM software to Standalone software, But you shouldn't buy a printer because of the software it comes with.

Agreed. Onyx and other standalone RIP software (caldera etc) are heaps better than the entry level printer RIP software like mimaki, rolland, Mutoh etc.

pretty crappy photos, but id clean it up a little and have it in the showroom. people still use old mechanical presses like that. check out these guys https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG6iX9x6JzHg-PF1EJHC2eA

or they're simply using canned profiles so the colour output from the printer is already off.

ha, no light weight paper is easy to work with. i'll have a look for it. thanks for this! i haven't ran uncoated though the colorado yet, but i have ran some thin media before. i believe in matte mode, it'll cure fine though.

One thing people don't realise when it comes to flatbed is bed size. They come in all sorts of sizes. The best size for a small one is 1200mm x 2440mm. (4'x8') so you can print one full board. Now if you get a bigger one, say 3m or 3.2m or something like that. make sure it's at least 2.4m...

What is the thinnest, might light weight media that's available for printing? Sub 80 or even 60 GSM. Im just trying to look for the most light weight media available.

I agree, i think Robert would be able to help him out. Also being 21, a young age to take over a business would be hard as you're still new to the outside world. I started printing about 22, 29 now and it took a bit to realise how some things worked. Having a website doesn't mean 100 clients a...

I would not be annoyed receiving this email. very polite and at the same time you're trying to help them.

Not acceptable. The printers should be calibrated at least. and without colour matching, they should be pretty close to one and other. Even if it's not perfect, it would still be better. It's usually the ones that dont care or dont know about colour matching or simply profiling their printers...

Sure. I just pulled up a profile from the mimaki JFX 200-2513 EX. and one of mine from the arizona. Arizona on fine art has a Ink gamut (256) volume of 500365 VS 330781 (12 pass 1200x1200) Spot colour accuracy is 81% vs 67%. The Canon arizona1300 has UV LED inks and that gamut is even larger.

Oh yes i understand service is a huge deal. This is also why we love canon in Australia. Same day or next day service. Most of the time you don't need a service key. only if you do the print heads really. but i'd rather them come and do that. Overall though, the Oce is a better machine. The...

Geez what a downgrade. Would rather get a new Oce/canon Arizona over a mimaki anyday. FYI varnish is a waste unless you plan to use it a lot. Our Arizona runs flawlessly every day The arizona can do the 2.5D stuff too. which i believe is where those types of prints started from. i believe it's...

Some people are not helpful what so ever. Printing is not just about vinyl wrapping peoples cars and what not, although it's what a lot of sign shops generally do. You can get into any printing aspect you'd like. you can get into banners, building signage, posers, fine art printing etc. Look...

Do the ship print. There's square boxes that print boxes with cyan, magenta, yellow and black. That will show you which head is not aliened and in which direction. As long as you type in the exact media height in the printer. As for aligning it yourself. if you don't know what you're doing, i...

Hot folders. Put them on your desktop and drag and drop. so simple. when you map your network drive following the link above, just crea RIPs should be on a standalone pc dedicated to ripping and colour management. That's where hot folders play a huge role It could just be you, or you and a...

low as you can go? you mean you're typing in the media height on the printer? if for example your media is 0.2mm and you're putting in 0.2mm? Do the "ship print" from the printers onboard screen. and take a photo of the alignment boxes.

Is the media height correct? As said, that shouldn’t change just like that.

what alignment. You need to be a little more specific.

get a generic profile that has a lot of the print modes and test them out on a media and see what they produce. i could be wrong, but the extra passes might be for a higher density. the first number i believe is suppose to be the resolution according to my little desktop epson.
