DX7 in VS series. Are you using 3rd party ink? I know someone who prints day and night and he needs to change PH every 2 year.

VinylMaster Cut has your plotter and it's almost free ($59)

on fiverr.com they'll redraw it for almost free

I don't know the law out there but even in a shitty country like mine you can return any machine for 14 days without any explanation and they need to take it back for no cost, and this is exactly what they did. Don't be faint hatred it's a lot of money for them too and they're in the business...

Check ebay oftern, they sell rasterlink6 from time to time for around ~$1000

I had the exact same problem when I bought my SG540, tech came ~10 times and calibrated the hell out of it without ANY improvement. In addition mine had banding too on some colors. So I returned my machine and bought a mimaki cjv150 which is perfect for my needs. (Oh, and cutting was also off on...

If you wouldn't turn it off you could have inserted the new cartridge and continue the job where you left it. When the machine says the cartridge is empty there is still 10% ink. I usually use a large syringe to pull the ink from the 'empty' cartridge and insert it into the new one.

The software is shitty with Mimaki, you need ignore what it tells you to input, you need to use your numbers: Never mind what numbers your printer tells you to set, just set one of the axis at -2 and do a real test cut with your own design. See how it looks. Now try with -4 and check if its...

Another customer with returned SG-540 here : Banding on mine was present no matter how many steps I set, technician spoke with the Japanese ppl and they couldn't find the problem either. Bi-dir was also ugly all the time. Buy mimaki cjv150, it's cheaper and better or buy VG 540 it seems that...

The only really important thing is an SSD drive to handle large files. Try to get as much ram as possible (8gb is ok) and a dedicated graphics card (any dedicated one will do the job).

my cjv150 cutting is off by max 1/36" on 120", it was something wrong with your settings.

Not always, when my design is not simply an oval shape or rectangular/ circle I use to make a contour cut and then a little larger perf cut as the perf cut leaves a messy finish in tight corners.

240 decals that takes 1 minute to weed takes you 2 days of work? Boy either you suck at math or you work 2h/day. When I have batch orders I always offer two solutions, one is convenient for both of us like printed decals for $0.50 contour cut, and one inconvenient for both parties like die-cut...

You need to set up half cutting on the printer. On the computer you just proceed as you'd do with normal cutting. After 50-100 decals I just bought an old roland cx24 to make half cuts not that the cjv wouldn't do it but I don't want to put too much stress on the mechanic parts.

Just ask the client to get a cmyk version from the designer and grab a coffee and let him explain why it looks like that.

I hit enter twice but it looks like I cannot delete my own post... just update... whatever

I do have an online store, I use ebay to draw customers to my own shop where they can buy a bit cheaper and I can pay less fee for money handling as paypal and ebay both take 5-5%. The scammers are not looking for $5-$10 decals, they go for high value items like phones, jewelry etc. I would say...

I sell decals on ebay, have more than 500 designs and I earn $300 monthly, about half of it is profit so obviously it does not worth it, I do it so I can advertise my own website sending out cards and flyers with the purchase.

upwork.com - you can hire freelance designers to draw them for you. Expect $50-80 / character or $100-120 / scene.
