bump... sorry guys, this client is wanting this PO by the end of the day. OR... how does (132 square foot project) $32 per square foot for cut etched vinyl (very simple graphics) and $11 per square foot for application on to 3/8" glass panels do those numbers seem high?

i've got a client that i've proposed a glass paneled wall behind the reception area. i'm assuming it would be 3/8" thick, tempered, with poslished edges. all the prices i've got for the glass has come to around $1k. i've presented the project to a guy that i did a past project with and the...

...what is the service worth? well on an inexpensive machine, usually the issue is "you get a machine but for this price that's all you get". if you could get a machine that you know you can affordably keep running for six years, and over those six years keep adding upgrades to make it as...

no, i didn't see the flora... after standing right in front of so many flatbeds, you get the idea of how extremely similar they all are. like cnc routers... with a machines that has a learning curve, touchy maintanence issues, the very possible "oops" i think i crashed the head in to...

i just got back from the sgia and my favorite flatbed options were first both CET's. the hybrid was very well designed, great price, great visibility, small footprint. the CET flatbed was awesome too. $85k entry on both, and you can upgrade the speed as your shop's needs for speed increases...

remember if your boards aren't absolutely square at the edge. other wise if the boards are say off 1/16" at a corner, you chain of boards could start climbing or falling in an arch. and then you have no walking or shifting of the previous board which can compound issues.

when you say "light colors" you mean lm lc, right? if that entire head just quite printing than i doubt you have a blown head. do a search on this board for "data swap" you will have to transpose there's a diagram about how to do one on a mimaki. you will have to transpose the diagram. or...

you can do the north south and left right flip. but to avoid getting that continuous even spacing of the image, mix in half flips, 1/3 flips etc (mirrored up down left right). such as take a quarter of the left side flip and match it then take a third of the right side flip and match it. then...

in rasterlink pro II it also has an option called "fast print" it is available or goes gray depending on how many passes are chosen. if you give it more than the minimum, and choose "fast print" the head carriage goes into full speed.

720x720 8 pass bi dual cmyk.

sorry...bad reading comp' i am dreading the trip. every day since i committed to the trip, i've been additionally slammed. it's a production suicide mission to go. but on the other hand, i'm finally doing presentations for a partnership with some investors. they are warmly accepting needing...

not sure about the nature of your mathing issue. keep in mind a few things. if your monitor is well balanced, in photoshop you can create a gradient of white to a dark gray. then lay the color over that layer and put the color you are matching set to "multiply". this will give you a good...

thanks!, suz,,, don't worry about the english. it's a million times better than my vietnamese. couple of things to look at. make sure your caps are targeting the bottom of the head to be perfectly centered. most capping stations can be moved in x/y direction and tightened down. to see if...

send us a pick of the overspray. even though it's their responsibility to get your printer running, being able to discuss your issues in the right terminologies and have some basic understanding of what may be occurring will give you a better chance of them taking your seriously. if you were...

i like to use 1 1/8" mdf seal it with deck stain (indoor sign, will still warp over time if it's not sealed). then after cnc i stain the interior edges with black wood dye. the mdf will soak up copious amount of pigment/paint. but one pass of black wood dye and it's pitch black for good.

when you do the test prints, do the lines move around or does every test print look almost exactly the same nozzle for nozzle?

if it's a brand new head and it's missing nozzles in the first day or so, that's not terribly uncommon. you probably have some vapor lock in the head that won't go away for a few days, or you can pull a vacuum at the waste line and still it may take a while for all the nozzles to have ink in...

but what ink...? 6 color SS2? or... rasterlink pro II does plenty for me. i can't imagine just needing more control over color than it provides.
