Congrats to you, and to us also:-) Bought brand new JV3-160SP with 6 color + white- tested it at the seller's place, got training on it, now waiting to get it into our shop! PS- The white print is amazing! Now we have a Summa DC1 for sale... And- Yes, they had to flush it again first...

I looked into it, found lots of neat ways to get into trouble! I am sure we will appreciate the tip on how to use inks after the expiry date:-)

The 160S? I dunno... Guess we could, is there any other differences between 160S and 160SP than the extra print head? Used 160S's are a lot less! We are hoping to use the Mimaki for a long time, and don't know if we need the extra print head in the future, at least it will be good as a...

Now I'm very intrigued- How DO you get into service mode?

Good luck! We will probably order a JV3-160SP next week. Tried to find a used one, but could only find the S, the SP's for sale were close to just as expensive as a new one! Which ink did you get? SS2? Are you going to try the white ink? We will definitely get 6-color, the extra speed...

One more thing- I agree with Mike- get both. We started with the Summa, but needed photo quality, and bought an Epson 10600, which is great on paper, but useless on anything else, so we're buying a Mimaki JV3, keeping the Summa for stickers, some signs etc, getting rid of the Epson, and...

I thought you could (legally)use FlexiSign Pro on all machines on the network with 1 dongle, as long as it was plugged into one of the machines? Anyway, I'm not much of a dongle-fan either, it's a hassle, just wonder if the 8-dongle is the same as the 7-dongle?

I'm looking to pay $500 to upgrade from 7.6... Will you take $10?

We have an older Summa DC1, print cost is high, so if you intend on printing 24/7, go with something else. If printing 1 day/ week, small stuff or pictures on sides of 18-wheelers, not for close wieving, Summa is great. Spotcolors bring down print cost, that's about the only advantage, as a...

2 kr worth... Well... You asked for an opinion... The Epson water-based printers are not built for making outdoor signs. Great for indoor use, photo quality, need special media, expensive prints. For outdoor use, get another printer, don't sell something you're not sure will deliver...

Actually I printed and thermally laminated, put the sticker on the back of a car, laminate did not stick to the coated vinyl, got water in between, tore off the laminate, 6 months later it still looks fine... Anyway, the Ultrachrome ink is longer lasting than I anticipated, but I do not sell...

Not sure if this is your problem, but we've had some problems with things getting cut off when close to the edge in winplot, the document size "shrinks" to biggest design. I added a bigger rectangle around everything, sent to winplot, and deleted the rectangle. If this does not help, it may be...

We use an Epson 10600, un-laminated vinyl is not scratch resistant. I am, however, very impressed that a sticker I put on a car a year ago still looks good, unlaminated, and the stuff we have put outside with laminate seems to last very good. You cannot compare the Ultrachrome ink to the stuff...

Hi. Log on to Summausa.com and download the latest cuttercontrol software, It now cuts the same direction as you see on the screen (I think).

I don't know if I should go there, but... We're also new in the business, about 2 years now, and have made many of the mistakes a lot of people on this site are warning others about. One of the first things I learned in school / life a couple decades ago, was; if you can't do it right, don't...

Did some decals today, that were printed on clear, to be applied to black background. We can't find an option to print white first; without having to line it up again, so we did the following for 500 2" x 4" decals, 4 colors: 50% cyan, 100% cyan/40% magenta, white, and black for the OPOS-marks...

Horray! I found Summa Durachrome colors in Flexisign! Can now design in Flexisign, save it, then rip / print it with the Summa Colorcontrol! Happy New Year to all of us!

Thanks to all of you for insight! Flexisign is pretty unusable for this problem, as it has no support for our printer, we do not have the spot colors available in Flexisign (white)... Our project involved using the same image on both sides, we lined up the vinyl, printed the image, with...

Thanks for replies, I guess no easy way. Easiest is probably to first print on clear, then print on white Oracal 751 (white cackside, as opposed to the 3M grey backside), and stick it on top. Looks good, but is expensive (Labor and material). The white print is fairly opaque, and quite enough...

To Madisonguy- I just tried to print from FlexiSign once, it came out bad, so instead of spending time finding out why, or finding the right profiles, we just went back to ColorBest, not because it is better, but because it works... We have Flexisign 7.6.2 Pro, it came with a bunch of icc...
