No. The machine just needs the main power to be left on standby. Don't fully power the machine off and it will clean periodically on it's own. No need for vinyl to be in it for the auto cleaning.

I do a lot of die cut stickers and I started on a Summa D140 and it was great for doing kiss cuts, die cuts were a bit more work to setup though because you have to be careful of the cut strip. I got a FC9000 a couple years ago and I love it. The cut channel makes doing anything with cutting...

Can you manually cut that on a flatbed by just registering the marks, instead of throwing the whole roll out? It won't be automated but would save you from reprinting.

Yeah I already found this out after I printed 1/4 of a roll. If you print the sheets one at a time it gave them individual barcodes, if you queued up multiples, they all got the same barcode. I also noticed that my Graphtec FC9000 was not handling jobs correct and doing a cross cut at the...

Mine only notifies me about once a month to do a head cleaning. It should be doing an automated cleaning every so often, not sure of the time cycle on that though.

These ELUAs are getting out of hand. They are using this is a very devious manner and this absolutely needs to stop. I don't have hope that the government will do anything about it though.

Yeah I tried printing on UV but it's not nearly as transparent as solvent inks. It may be a last resort if I need to. I had previously don't gold stickers for them a couple of years ago but I can't get that same material anymore.

Been looking for some thicker holographic or metallic gold vinyl 4mils or thicker. No sign vinyl as I need it for stickers. I want to run them on my UV printer and not laminate them so ideally something 6mils would be perfect, but I can really only find a regular holographic in 6mils.

Yes, I do have white. Only reason I had quoted that job for them so I can put some use to my UCJV330. Just need to find a material similar to this 3M.

Pardon my lack of experience with some prints here. So I have a sample of what I'll be doing because they wanted a similar material. Material is a 3M controltac not sure what spec, but it's obviously removable adhesive with a white back. So my question is how was this done? I'm guessing clear...

These are going to be reverse printed for placing on the inside of a window to face outside.

I'm doing a wholesale order to a offset printing company and I think they want to know the weight because they will be shipping these to the end customer with other pieces of a job. I think I can probably just get away without knowing, but it would be good for the future.

About 872sq ft. But the weight would be different depending on the material. 3mil material would be much different than a 6mil material. If I had the materials I could just cut some out weigh it and figure out the weight with square area. I just do a lot of small jobs so I have always included...

Have a larger customer looking to get a shipping weight of a job I quoted them. How do I go about calculating the price on 3000 decals on material I don't have for quoting?

I just looked this up on Grimco and it's a lot more expensive than the price list I was given from them.

I'd think if you were printing 8pass or 12pass unidirectional you should be able to get a really nice print. I do small stuff like that all the time with my S40. The design must be pretty intricate.

https://www.glassapeel.net/ You order direct from them it seems. I ordered a sample roll yesterday and they sent me a price sheet when I emailed them for info about it.

Ordered up some a sample roll to try. :) Anyone ever used any Lintech material? That was another brand recommended to me by a guy from Mimaki.

I'll have to ask them about that, my best guess it's either fall or winter since those are the next seasons to come up. I'm in Maine so I'd definitely have to take into account the colder weather for clings. Should also mention these will be applied by the customer and not myself.

So I've started getting other jobs to quote and have a job of 3000 - 6" x 6" window clings signs for banks to put up for some temporary signage. (Think it's for a holiday) I've never printed on static cling and just did my first job with clear and white on my UCJV330 which worked fine. No issues...
