  1. URGENT!!! Source for Mimaki JF1631 Yellow Ink...being told on back order

    Mine was plug and play for both Bordeaux and Triangle. They say you may get a slight color shift when it kicks over to the new cartridge, but 90% of what I print is short term signage, and that wasn't an issue. Never saw a shift, and all I've done is not waste as much money on inks.
  2. Do printheads wear out

    I don't know about on that machine, but over time, on my Mimaki's my print heads have worn out. You don't notice it so much on the big stuff, but on the really detailed stuff you'll notice it on mine.
  3. 3rd Party Ink Dealer- Triangle Inks in the USA

    Fellers sells it, and Advantage handles a couple kinds of Triangle. I used to get my JVV cartridges from Advantage till they stopped carrying them since I was the only person using them. Fellers normally has to ship them from far away for me to get them, but they have them.
  4. URGENT!!! Source for Mimaki JF1631 Yellow Ink...being told on back order

    Bordeaux is good stuff. I switched to Triangle when I got a new printer cause the company didn't carry Bordeaux, but both have been fine for me, and saved a ton over OEM. I ran Bordeaux over 6 years before upgrading printer.
  5. Poster paper "no parking" signs

    I'd try to convince them to use Cor-X on this, (I was able to for our town) but if they insist on something posterboard like, I use Sihl 3686 Tri-Solve. For short term outdoors, it works. I think they call it a 3-6 month outdoor material. Doesn't mean you'll get that if it's crazy snowing...
  6. Can you do something? How much? How soon?

    When they ask me how soon can I have it...I normally just say how soon do you need it, and how much were you willing to spend. Generally if they say "tomorrow" and they only wanted to spend $15 (which is the norm for stuff like this, because they think since they think it's funny, that we will...
  7. Wholesale printing?

    I use Signs2Trade, Insignia, and Signs365 on a fairly regular basis. All good to work with. Signs2Trade makes me a rockstar.
  8. Customers are so ignorant...

    Yep, I'm with you, you gotta just let these go. Had a lady come in and just want me to cut her a sheet of Cor-X down to two 4X4's. I said that'll be Xamt, and she said, "oh, that's too much, I can't spend that much." I just looked at her and said "OK." That was it. We stared at each other...
  9. Can you identify if this is a Gemini font?

    I need to match this font and want to make sure I can get it from Gemini. There's a few that are close and I just wanted to see if anyone knew for sure. My only other option to be sure is to just order all new letters for the additional words going on here.
  10. shop thoughts

    I came from being in the country where people intentionally came to you for stuff, and now I'm in town where anyone walking by that wants dumb stuff for their car stops in wanting a price. If I could do it again (and I'm sure I will some day) I'm looking for some kind of an industrial setting...
  11. printing over night mimaki jv33?

    You are preaching to the choir on this one. Had it on my JV3, so I got me a JV33, and now anything past a couple feet that's solid ink, it's starving it. Get's really bad banding. Wish I had the solution. Buying a latex is my solution I guess cause I'm not getting anywhere with the current...
  12. I sure wish someone made an 18" X 24" small substrate printer...

    I don't have a ton of room a full size substrate printer, but man, I've done like (50) 18" X 24" signs in the last day and it would have been way quicker to not have to print and apply. Seems like there should be something small on the market that could do something like 24" X 24" size and be...
  13. Printing a 40ft banner run

    I have tried this a couple times, and everyone tells me it's a heat setting. The last long banner I tried to do, I had a head strike, destroyed my ability to do nice printing, and was almost to the end of the banner and had to throw it all in the garbage. My tip now...Signs2Trade if you...
  14. Are there any merchant's that print and contour cut vehicle magnets

    It helps if you are willing to do the job. PM me if you are, and I can get you the specs on it.
  15. Are there any merchant's that print and contour cut vehicle magnets

    Yep...but it won't be as good as a computer cut one. This guy is extremely particular, and he doesn't mind spending money to get stuff right, so I'm still looking for someone that can do it.
  16. Are there any merchant's that print and contour cut vehicle magnets

    I have a customer that has a pretty amazing setup for a car show, and he's got a "set" (truck and trailer rig) that go together, but he wants to be able to drive the truck separate, and if the graphics are on there permanently, it's labeled pretty weird for just driving around w/o the trailer...
  17. Today I sold out my design morals for a hunk of cash.

    Normally I line item that as a PITB customer when it's 3X extra.
  18. decommissioning for holidays

    I think I left for 14 days once and didn't even give it a thought. Just cleaned good before I left and good when I got home. Only had to replace the pump and dampers in the 6 years I had that machine...it was amazing. I'd say even if you do nothing you should be fine.
  19. Jv33 won't boot up after head replacement

    Yeah, they were worthless with what was in the bible. All it says is see video.
  20. Does ANYONE have Mimakie JV33 Head replacement instructions?

    Awesome! Thanks so much.
