We run Onyx 11 here on our mimakis and really only have like 3 profiles that we ever use. Tweak a basic profile until it is good for your printer. There is a LOT of difference between our two mimakis here. The "conserve media" option will group your jobs together, set your individual qtys in...

I love the GFP laminators. Gee Eff Pee!

I know, we use a lot of 8520. I was inquiring about a matte 180c material for other reasons.

Can I buy 3M 180c-10 in matte? My supplier is really dragging their feet in getting back to me, so I am guessing not. I thought I had heard that you could. (I assume it would be called 180c-20?)

I am not that familiar with that Mimaki model, but I will try to help. Post up a picture of your capping station please, I think I see your main problem. Also, did you just buy this printer, did you verify the nozzle check beforehand? Or, was this printer operating fine "yesterday", and now...

I would assume with laminating prints the same day as you print them that your business thrives on quick turnarounds, so look into making an outgassing chamber to put your prints into for a few hours at least. There are a couple threads on here about making them. We always wait 24 hours in the...

I did it a few years ago, seemed like it worked good. Now I don't have to do my installs, and my installers do the regular install of cutting and dropping in.

I know the font is hideous, but I have to match it as they have used it all over the rest of their truck. Anyone know what it is?

Thanks for the post, I am part of a team bringing a different 3D printer to market right now. We have not decided on whether to try kickstarter or not still... Everything seems to be working itself out at the moment!

At the last place I was at an installer found an EPI pen in an ambulance compartment... by the pointy end. He said he felt a bit off for about 24 hours after that.

I don't think it can be done... http://www.signs101.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-120700.html

tiki, you are AWESOME!

Can't recall ever seeing this one before.... anyone else know it? (or something close I can modify) It HAS been a long week!

When you are just printing an area like a fender only: You can create a clipping mask in illustrator and save a new file as "front curbside fender" and just print that file. Or in photoshop you can flatten and crop the document size to that area only and save a new file. If you are printing...

Pro Vehicle Outlines has a GREAT set of templates, but try to take some actual measurements and photos of the real vehicle whenever possible as the vehicle is not 2-dimensional like the templates are. major problem areas to verify on templates are overall lengths/heights, any rear/front window...

I think you're on the right track with how you are setting them up now,. However on your first couple wraps, before you hit print it may be worth your time to send the files by someone with more experience in making/printing wraps that work. (like hiring a consultant) Have you installed any...

I know you have your issue solved now, but I have recently had some CRAZY Onyx issues the past couple weeks... Contacting them today to see if they know what is up with my print/cuts cutting crazy shapes or incorrect locations. (A reboot will fix some issues, but some problems aren't making any...

There is a product called "Ghost Off" for this, the cowboy sells it I think. (probably others) I have used it with pretty decent success on older trailers to remove the oxidization/ ghosting. You have to use it more concentrated than is stated and you have to really scrub the trailer. Just...

Under Print Options in GSP Plot there is an option in the top right that says Conserve Foil. Make sure that box is checked.

Those are monochrome bitmaps that you can add fills to. Illustrator supports creating bitmaps under Effect>Rasterize. Photoshop creates them also, once you have your image created change the image mode to grayscale and then to bitmap. You can place that bitmap into other programs, etc and add...
