  1. Mimaki UCJV-300 Reviews

    Hey Scott, smell isn't horrible. All UV prints have a pretty strong smell, and this one is no different but once the prints are fully cured the smell almost completely goes away. Much better than our Oce flatbed prints, you can smell those even after months of being printed. It does smell...
  2. Discussion ROLAND SOLJET Pro 4 XR-640 3RD PARTY INKS

    We've got a 5 year old XR-640 and have switched to Nazdar inks just over a year ago. The ink does smell different and has a bit of a different finish, but works very well. Our printer does seem to clean more than it's supposed to (we have auto-cleaning turned "off" yet it still cleans every...
  3. Mimaki UCJV-300 Reviews

    Just thought I'd post an update after having this unit for about a month. Learning curve for running a Mimaki and using Rasterlink was a little steeper than I expected! I've been on team Roland for 10 years and always assumed they would be very similar. Lots of differences both physically and...
  4. Gradient white print out of Rasterlink??

    Thanks for this! Gives me another route to explore. I'm not super familiar with the Adobe halftone filters but we did have a tech show us how to create some cool halftones in Photoshop recently. I think I've made some progress.... If I create a gradient in Illustrator using yellow as the...
  5. Gradient white print out of Rasterlink??

    Until ONYX decides to figure out how to get us printing cmyk+w on our new UCJV we're stuck using rasterlink. I'd like to meet the people that created this software and have a few words with them....but I digress. Honestly it's insulting using this software after using Versaworks for 11 years...
  6. Tips for keeping crud off prints when laminating?

    As I'm looking at pricing for these $200-$300 "sticky" rollers..........has anyone ever tried lint rollers before? I definitely feel the OP's pain. We've been mostly printing on clear vinyl and mounting to acrylic for the last couple of weeks.......no matter how clean things look they really...
  7. Tips for keeping crud off prints when laminating?

    Thank you very much sir! Will get one ordered.
  8. Tips for keeping crud off prints when laminating?

    I think we need one of these. Do you have a manufacturer for these by any chance? Thanks.
  9. Are all General Formulations Vinyls all becoming incompatible with Latex?

    That's too bad that it's not working for you with latex anymore. Love 201HTAP and use tons of it on our solvent/uv printers. Hope you can get it sorted out or find a replacement.
  10. Taking delivery of our new Summa F1612 next week, what else should I know?

    Congrats on the new toy! I've been eyeing these up since they first came out. Keep us posted with the progress once it's up and running!
  11. Question Shapeoko benchtop CNC. Anyone else using this?

    Man, that's impressive work you're putting out!! Top notch. How was the assembly? Was it hard to get it producing accurate results like that? For that price it definitely seems worth checking out. Thanks for sharing!
  12. Review Impact librairy outlines problems

    I'm not familiar with those templates, but I'm wondering if it's possible that you're using US templates and not European? That size not only seems off on scale, but shape.
  13. My flatbed is to slow, so looking for tips on screen printing coroplast campaign signs with uv ink

    Good luck. Don't be too surprised if you don't get too many people willing to help an accountant cut out real sign companies...
  14. CorelDRAW-generated SVG files not working in Onyx Thrive Cut Server

    I don't believe you need to use cutcontour or any spot colors for cut only to onyx cut server, do you? http://www.onyxgfx.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/ONYX11_1-Cut-Only.pdf I've also had no success using this workflow out of Corel. Not sure I tried Illustrator yet though, I just gave up.
  15. How do you manage your color match

    I'm loving this so far with our i1. It's saved a ton of time and produces some pretty accurate results even on the first try.
  16. Suggestions Decals, I want to know each and everything about it.

    Who knows where this troll is from. His website links to an established looking company from NY so I'm pretty sure he's full of chit either way.
  17. Suction Pump - Oce Arizona 318

    Hey Dale, sent you a PM but here it is in case anyone else needs it: We do order our parts direct from Canon (Canada) but here is what I have listed for that part: Part number/item number: 3010105366 Description: FTG-ELB SWIV 3/32 BARB 1/8 NPT
  18. Upgrading to Rasterlink 6

    I'm trying to be patient and keep in mind that it's just that I'm used to doing things differently.........but I just can't the hang of a few things. Especially dealing with "special plates" and "compositions" and all that nonsense. After a while I think I'm making progress then sure enough...
  19. Upgrading to Rasterlink 6

    I can't imagine paying for Rasterlink. I've been (painfully) trying to get used to it after using Versaworks for 11 years and onyx for 5. As soon as we get some profiles built in Onyx for our UCJV I'll be done with Rasterlink! Sorry, I know my rant isn't really helpful, just venting really...
