Nope not rollin in the dough yet unfortunately. The Rolands were at my last job. The Mimaki at my current one. OH and to stop the VP from cutting I believe you just have to lift the lever for the rollers.

You guys are freakin vultures today! lol It used to happen on the SP-540V and the VP-540. The VP was bought brand new...If anything it was the profiling, because the owner wouldn't shell out the cash for proper colour management. We used to get a line where it would stop when it ran out of ink...

Good thing I'm using a Mimaki now.

Thats not crap...What are you talking about? It leaves a line in your print!! So let me re-phrase that. IF you are picky about your prints, then it could kill your print. If you don't give a crap then just wait for the beep and don't plan ahead ever.

When the ink runs out. lol Unfortunately the VP only has 4 cartriges so when it runs out it could kill your print. You can check your ink levels, so say your magenta is really low and you are about to run a very red print, you may want to change the catridge before you start printing. As for...

I know when I was in school for Graphic Design I was never taught about anything other than the print industry. There was nothing on large format digital printing at all. Really though, it only takes a quick call to your sign guy to figure out proper file set-up. Its not complicated at all...

Hey Gabgoo, I tried that actually and it is still streaky. I'm thinking it is the material actually. I've never used this Avery MPI1005. I tried it on 3M material and it is printing 100 times better. I'm calling my supplier now to see what is up with this Avery vinyl.

Hi All, I'm running a Mimaki JV33-130. Everything has been running smoothly until today. I have to print some decals that are Pantone 540C. There seems to be a lot of banding as well as streaks of purple. I'm printing on Avery MPI1005 vinyl. Played witht he heat settings and profile with no...

I've used the font viewer Curtis mentioned its pretty good actually.

Turn the 'Softening' down in the bevel options. I don't think your drop shadow is helping either? How are you gonna pull that off?

Thanks all. I'm now up and running and I gotta say, I like the Mimaki a lot better than the VP540 I was using at my other job. I'm sure the JV33 is more equal to a Roland XC price-wise? but as long as this thing doesn't band I may be a Mimaki fanboy in the making. lol On another note, what do...

I used to use flexi at my last job. Had all the errors listed above. I don't doubt it was a hardware problem as the computer was crap. Anyone tried Flexi for MAC? I wonder if it would have the same issues seeing as you can't really blame the MACs hardware. lol

Oh sorry, the machine is a JV33 that I"m going to be running...and yes solvent ink is the main difference that I've noticed. Although Eco-Sol is just a mild solvent correct? Do the JV33's have a reader/encoder strip like the Roland SP machines? Where you have to clean it pretty damn often or...

Hey All, I've just been hired to run a printer and do design work for a local sign shop. My last job (my introduction to the industry) was a similar situation but we had a Rolands. First the SP-540 then the VP540V. Basically, what I want to know is if anyone has used both and if there are...

Thanks! I will try that out.

Hey All, I hope I am posting this in the right section? I figured LXI is pretty much Flexi. I'm having problems importing .ai files and EPS files from Illustrator...I won't get into PDF's. lol I've tried saving them as Illy 10 versions with no luck. When I import, I either get an error while...

Holy...finally!

use the white cursor instead of the V cursor

Oh AutoCAD!...If Illy and Autocad combined that would be the perfect graphics program imho.
