  1. Thoughts on the SGIA show from those who went....

    Were there any 3d printer manufacturers there this year?
  2. Aqueous material on solvent printer

    probably not, what material specifically are you asking about?
  3. Fume Filtration...Suggestions? Anyone want to sell me something?

    I was getting on here to ask the exact same question... we run Mimaki Solvent inks and are getting ready to move to a new building where venting them outside will be nearly impossible. Who does everyone here run for fume scrubbers?
  4. Weird vinyl issue. Has anyone ever seen anything like this?

    Are you SURE that is the sign that you printed? To me it looks like a screen printed sign going bad but the image is pretty small on here so it's hard to diagnose. the tails of the recycling symbols (red arrows) not being gradients looks awfully odd to me compared to the other.
  5. Thoughts on the SGIA show from those who went....

    SEMA was also this past weekend, and I know Fellers was there; sometimes I guess they have to pick which show is going to be the best profit resulting show. I wish I could have went, the owners here went and said they really liked the HPs and that GFP has an even better laminator coming out in...
  6. Looking for a Service Manual for a SP 300

    I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but I've never heard of heads recovering after that amount of time. However, if it does work, I would be overjoyed to know that it is possible. I have one myself that I bought after sitting 6 months and thought the heads to be shot from sitting...
  7. What to do with old non fully working printers

    I always look on CL for deals on used printers, but don't remember seeing your Mimaki? Can you PM me details on it and what you want for it?
  8. let's pretend...

    I think that is the Canadian BMW logo there, due to the square tires used in Canada.
  9. New Machine Purchase coming soon, but which one?

    We are going to have to add another machine to our production department here due to our increasing workload. We currently run two aging Mimaki JV3s with a million miles on each (but they still run all day every day) and have plenty of plotters so we don't need a print/cut solution. We were...
  10. Best place to find used Printers?

    Craigslist always has some listed. Do the nationwide search at http://www.searchcraigslist.org/ for more than what is local for more results.
  11. Pricing a Half Wrap

    you're coming in high, a full wrap would run only slightly more for a ford van. your print provider may be charging you more than the average also.
  12. font help please

    don't recognize this one...
  13. HELP! Prints cancelling

    Add another hub (only between the two of them) if the run is too long between the rip & printer. Keep everything else off of this hub.
  14. Which one is the best

    gfp
  15. Interior Sign HELP!

    Looks like a regular (gloss laminated) print applied to a piece of sintra, and wrapped around the edges like a gallery/canvas wrap.
  16. Time to replace the print head?

    I'm no Mutoh expert, but to me it still sounds like a bad capping station. A capping station should only run a couple hundred, and is something you have to replace every so often anyways.
  17. Is an old JV3 still a useable machine in a modern sign shop

    Do you have a link on how to configure it like this?
  18. Why we cant have nice things in our area.....

    I think it is all about the funds at each individual school district. Most districts around here have ZERO extra to do nice things. But then again, we do work for one school district that must have either struck gold or oil when building their new "campus" as we've done probably 50k+ in signage...
  19. Opaque Foils....

    I am not understanding your question. Most Gerber foils are opaque, unless noted otherwise as transparent. Some have varying levels of opacity so sometimes you have to apply a flood coat under them to achieve the correct color if printing on a colored vinyl.
  20. Is an old JV3 still a useable machine in a modern sign shop

    I assume this is the 6-color JV3-SP. I have one of those at home. The JV3s here at the office have 4 heads and run CMYKx2.
