  1. google +

    I think most people I know have it, but none of them use it, because it doesn't have EVERYONE on it like FB does. In my community it's not taking off yet. Still pretty stagnant. You hear about something on FB everyday, I haven't heard anyone say the Google + word yet.
  2. How do I clean the back side of the heads?

    I did for the first three years, then I got out of rhythm and nothing ever happened to cause me grief till now. It's weird...I printed one banner fine, now somethings rubbing or something causing marks getting rubbed across the print on my 2nd one. It's like the head isn't all the way up or...
  3. How do I clean the back side of the heads?

    I just printed a bunch of vinyl no problem...now I moved to banner material, and it's dragging lines across it again...I don't get it. I'm starting to get annoyed. I'm gonna drop it down to the other end of the printer and clean the heads and see how that goes.
  4. How do 3rd party inks ruin your printer?

    I paid out the nose for Mimaki Inks until my manufacturer's warranty was well over. As soon as that was over, I made the switch, and haven't had any ink related problems. I'm probably four years or so into Bordeaux inks, and my machine is 6+ years old and still going strong. My fellers rep...
  5. How do I clean the back side of the heads?

    I'm not sure how it got there...I'm not generally an everyday cleaner, but at least a once a week at minimum on weeks that I don't print much. She's been like a tank so far, but now I'm starting to have to learn a lot about fixing it and troubleshooting things.
  6. How do I clean the back side of the heads?

    I don't think I need to get to the "doctors surgery" with a knife yet...but we'll see. I've got a few more things to print...I may be making headway w/ it. But I'm gonna scream if it drags one across my banner prints again!
  7. How do I clean the back side of the heads?

    Wow...I've NEVER noticed that before...but I'd been moving the head back and fourth...just never noticed the clean out area...I'll do that now! Thanks. For the love. You'd think after 6 years w/ the machine I'd have noticed that by now!
  8. How do I clean the back side of the heads?

    Tweezers couldn't get it, I clean them as good as I can every time w/ the swabs, and I put them in the solution yes...but I can't get to this one. I'm gonna print some "less critical" stuff that doesn't have to be perfect and see if I can get it to fall off just by printing some more. I've...
  9. How do I clean the back side of the heads?

    I have this thing...for lack of a better term "dingleberry" of inking hanging on the back of one of my print heads. I've soaked it for 10 minutes, tried cleaning w/ swabs like 6 times, and I just can not get it off of there. I've ruined a banner four times printing it because it'll start...
  10. Have you replaced your JV3 recently?

    I bought my JV3 6 years ago and still going strong. The only things I've had to replace are one damper, and I've put pumps in it twice. I don't know what normal printers do...but I'm happy w/ my setup and would probably buy a Mimaki again.
  11. T-Shirt Design Questions

    I use Sign Amigo for most of my stuff. He always exceeds my expectations.
  12. Business card printer?

    GotPrint is awesome. Use them all the time. This subject is beat to death though, so just do a search.
  13. Gerber vinyl.. anyone sell it?

    Yep...I got some from Advantage a couple months ago.
  14. ADA braille signs - need help

    C&C Engraving in Arizona. Used to be a MM here (or at least advertised here, cause that's how I found them), not sure if they still are. They do that stuff all day long. Talk to Gene...he's gone above and beyond for me on a few jobs lately. Great work.
  15. Good thing I didn't need that $200 - yeah right

    That blows! I once did two yard signs in 3M air release, and I hated that enough! I bet ya never make that mistake again though.
  16. Fred: VIRUS ALERT

    Yep...just got the same thing by Norton that it blocked something.
  17. It's 11-11-11!

  18. Lowballers!! Aaarrgh!!!

    Yea, anything I print in house (or even have to sub out) is generally around $4 for anything 4X8ish or bigger. I used to get $7 w/o batting an eye, but then we had a lowballer show up and I couldn't sell A THING, so $4 is the standard here, and I feel lucky to get that sometimes.
  19. Didn't go as planned this year.............

    It's like Tommy Boy all over again.
  20. Tip on how to apply vinyl to Christmas balls?

    I'd say find the biggest balls you can for that.
