i just printed some mesh banner for myself and if I do it again I would probably give it a double hit or print at 1440 x 720 due to the holes. Looks like window perf, al ittle washed out

I was told 6 - 8 weeks. I have 4 blinking right now and they are not close to being empty. I use my machine every day but when I purchased the inks back in december they were all dated for april, when I enquired as to the shortened date I was told this was the way Mimaki was going to do things...

oh you heard about those guys too?

if its one colour I dont mind going 15 feet, but multi colour as stated above is to dangerous if something goes wrong. I would keep it under 8 feet.

I too use that profile for printing on everything and it works pretty good from what I see.

my problem is that I bought abunch of cartridges in december to avoid a price increase and I still have a cyan cartridge which is dated for April 09.WEhen I phoned and complained that the due date was not far enough ahead they told me that this was some new sort of policy from Mimaki and that...

I was told from my sales rep that they have moved up all the expiry dates on ink as it should not sit on the shelf to long and I believe I had seen here on the forums the same story. I just got back from picking up a ss2 magenta cartridge and the date is july 29th................2010...

thats what I figured....so why do they make it like that unless for liability reasons.

I was just staring at my printer and reading the decal that says " do not open this cover during printing. the carriage will stop and ruin the print". Seems kinda dumb to keep it shut especially if you need to check the media adjustments during and after hooking up to the take up reel? I know...

I think all design schools should be giving appropriate time to students to understanding the production side of the business. Good file manipulation should be mandatory in being allowed to graduate. I have had my share of young green designers and hey they need to be given a chance to learn but...

thanks...I keep my eye on it

I was doing a routine cleaning tonight andafter wiping the capping station rubber doeys with a foam tip I drop in 5 drops of cleaning fluid in each cap. The cyan and yellow just held the solution and it did not drain. I then let the head go backand then reopened and the liquid had been sucked...

ok heres the scoop... The original file or the gradient was done in illustrator but the final setup was done in photoshop. The designer who rents an ofice from me went back and deleted the gradient ,flooded the area with a solid grey and then used a large brush and featherd it using a series...

I have a file that is only 11.5 x 17 inches it gors from a medium grey to a white. It was set up in photoshop and in Flexi it looks fine, but when we print it on the Mimaki jv3 ht egradient comes out as a series of sections changing colour rather than a smooth transition. How should I have a...

have you printed this colour before? Is your machine maintained? nozzle washes every week? i have the same printer and find blues always print streaky but I suspect that theres something wrong with my cyan head...possibly a minor head crash, but good enough. Why dont you try putting the...

I know 300 is high and usually 150 is what I would do, but still why does the final size in Flexi only come in at about 1/3 the size? The prints look good even after bringing them up to the final size, I was just curious. As to bringing them directly into the production manager, I am an old dog...

A customer brought me files for 8 banners 4' x 10' he saved them as a cdr file. I opened them and they are fine and at full size. I am trying to export them as a tif file at 300 dpi full size and 1:1 when I open the file in flexi it isabout 1/3 the size. How can I get it to send out size as

I tried contacting them and never got a response, but i believe they take all the leftover ink and repackage it for sale. Looks fishy to me

I live by my colur charts, without thenI would be lost. Heck I take the big chart outside when matching a specific colour.

also I would add if it is going to be a print for outdoors, definately run samples and get them outside to check.
