  2. Digitizing Logo

    Not calling it auto digitizing but auto conversion, I mean sweetlordjesuschrist, you take things very seriously, don't you? Sorry didn't read all the text, it's just too long.
  3. Digitizing Logo

    He was giving me a speech about why I advise you auto-digitizing when I was advising him earlier a cracked version of a high priced software. Well the answer is that manual digitizing is always good, but there are cases where auto-digitizing can produce good enough results. Not sure about the...
  4. Digitizing Logo

    How big does it need to be? If it's large enough (4 inches ) you can use simple auto digitizing, if it's smaller or it need to look more professional you need to redraw the lines one by one and use satin stitch to make it follow the direction. If you have more complex logo that you'd like to...
  5. Roland ColorCAMM Pro Printer/Cutter w Table

    I'd totally buy it for $25, even $100 just for an emergency cutter if the current one dies suddenly.
  6. Need Help Siser ColorPrint Easyweed not coming off onto Mask

    Haha, I gave you the solution but it looks like you just ignored it, well good luck with the 'lower the blade pressure' and such advices :)
  7. Cut vinyl prices peeling after 1 month

    I have multiple brand print vinyl in my shop, avery is the worst, prints yellowed and shrinked ridiculously in a couple of months. For cut vinyl I use Oracal 651 and had 0 issues over 10y. When you clean the surface make sure you use rubbing alcohol as window cleaner what some may just consider...
  8. Need Help CJV30-160 test print all wrong, prints randomly off to the side

    It wasn't meant to be a preach, just an advice. It looks like the magenta is missing completely on the left side. Try to do an overnight head soaking (start a maintenance cleaning when the head moves out of the way so you can fill up the capping station with cleaning fluid, then unplug the...
  9. Need Help CJV30-160 test print all wrong, prints randomly off to the side

    Hi Devo, Leaving an eco-solvent printer lick itself for months and wondering why all the nozzles are blocked is like 15 y olds having unprotected sex and wondering how they got pregnant. These machines are meant to be used once a week at least, if you use it less than that you don't need this...
  10. Canon ipf8000s

    Your machine uses aqueous ink, you can find special vinyl coated for aqueous printers. It's not cheap and it does not last outdoors. You can print some decals for temporary use, but you cannot do car wraps as it'll not last more than one year outdoors even if you laminate it.
  11. Printing Wrapping Paper

    Of course it's a great idea, if you do something trendy you can have great success on etsy or similar sites. People forget that art is an added value and custom made wrapping paper can be really popular on such places. A $5 tee + nice design sells for $15 all day long, why would it be different...
  12. Printing Wrapping Paper

    I have no idea, I just know that second hand large format dye inkjet printers are dirt cheap. Dye ink is somewhat water resistant too. With eco -solvent you can print to coated paper only which make it expensive and thick. You want something lightweight and cheap.
  13. Printing Wrapping Paper

    If I were to print wrapping paper I'd buy a second hand inkjet printer like a canon ipf610 or similar and with a 3rd party bulk ink system and 3rd party inks you can print day and night for like $0.01/ftsq instead of $0.25
  14. Embroidery software

    Digitizing softwares are waaaay overpriced. I don't mind paying for something good, but they are all rubbish and poorly made. Just buy a cracked Tajima 14 if you need something half decent for $100. Once again I'm happy paying a small monthly fee for PS and illustrator, but paying $10.000 for a...
  15. Need Help Print length problem

    What really bothers me is that I cannot understand why is one side longer than the other (left side vs right side of a 24" wide print) . If it'd be equally long or short that'd be a thing, but why does it randomly decide which side to push (pull) harder?
  16. Need Help Print length problem

    That's a clever idea but unfortunately it's random which side is gonna be longer or shorter
  17. Need Help Print length problem

    So I try to print wallpapers and I get inconsistent print lengths with mimaki cjv150. Some rolls print perfectly while some print are longer on one side or another by +- 1.5mm (1/16 inch) This error is on 2.5m ( ~100" ) and the funny thing is if I print 2 rolls one after another sometimes they...
  18. Mimaki Banding and yellow.

    I use 50ml syringes to draw ink from 'empty' cartridges and push it into the new one. My machine leaves about 30-40ml in the cartridge. If you try it be sure to make the cartridge mouth look down otherwise you can poke a hole on the bag when inserting the needle. I also make sure not to insert...
