We had a seamstress make one for a customer once. It was a sweetener to get the deal. She sewed it from nylon and it turned out well. Just give the seamstress the dimensions and she should be able to figure it out.

Interesting. The only water based ink that I see kill heads fast is Dye sub but the pigment based water inks seem to let the head last forever. It just goes to show how finicky these heads can be. Everyone has a different experience.

What did Mimaki say when the error popped up after install? That should have been taken care of on warranty. What did the dealer do for you when this started happening? Ink supply errors pop up when the sub tank doesn't fill all the way. This can be a simple as a bad sub tank float sensor but...

Piezo heads are the more refined technology. They print higher resolution and usually at higher speeds. Thermal heads are much more of a consumable and if you do the math, a lot of the time the cost of running each head comes out to about the same over time. Also, the Epson based Piezo heads...

I would go into the RIP and check what your rendering intents are set to. Usually the default has CMYK and RGB interpreted differently. I would make the CMYK rendering intent the same as he RGB one and see if it changes for the better.

Ink starvation almost always means there is air getting into the system and that usually happens at the damper area. The damper also has a filter that can clog and cause starvation. The reason it doesn't just continue to drop out is because the starvation is not enough to completely drop that...

You might want to have the guy double check that he sent it because that bar is over $200.

I have heard through the grape vine that at least 1 Flexi sales guy has moved on from the company because they tied his compensation to the subscription plans and they didn't sell nearly as many as they thought they would. I'm not surprised based on people's opinions on signs101. Subscriptions...

They are called FFC cables for a reason lol. Flat Flexible Cable. Fold them how ever you want.

The quickest and simplest fix would be to re-save the file as a PDF and then in the compression settings make it so any image above 300dpi gets down-sampled to 300dpi. As long as the file is already at a 1:1 ratio, this should have no affect on the output quality but reduce the file size...

Every cutter will be different based on the machine manufacturing and the wear on the blade so no one will be able to give you exact numbers that will be of any use to you. That being said, on almost every brand of cutter I have used, 30g to 50g usually cuts 3mil vinyl unlaminated and 50g - 80g...

It has to be electrical or corrupted Firmware. I would upgrade the Firmware to it's latest version first and see how that affects it. If nothing changes, I would put my money on bad main board. When an encoder strip or sensor goes bad, you either get motor over-current errors and the motor...

I have installed 100's of heads and I never flush before installing. In fact, I have seen more problems from pre-flushing than not. It won't hurt to flush the ink lines first though. You never know what ink was in there and how it settled.

I looked through the Service Manual and the user's manual and can't find anything on why that would pop up on the screen. There really aren't any sensors that detect ink leaks either so it shouldn't have anything to do with that. I would also make sure your firmware is up to date. Then call...

Change the head cables first and clean the terminals that they plug into. You basically have a short in the system and it usually happens in the cable or the terminals. If that doesn't fix it, you probably have a bad head.

Have you checked the bottom of the heads? They might have a bunch of ink build up that needs to be cleaned. Also, how does your nozzle check look?

It is usually in the RIP and the printer. Sometimes it's called "Logical Seek" but I am not sure what Roland calls it.

Call Mimaki and they will hook you up with your nearest dealer.

Illustrator files are not considered production files and your client just doesn't know what they are talking about. Tell them to save it as an EPS or PDF instead.

PTF is an older way that Flexi used to do profiles. They have a function in the production manager that converts it to an ICC. Check around the menus. I believe it's called, "Convert Legacy Profiles".
