  1. Mimaki cleaning kit question

    No point in being cheap about the cleaning kits, afterall I would rather spend the money on the kit than a new head. Secondly the kits come with the useless q-tips, I am not sure why Mimaki actually gives you those as they are horrible. I bought a pack of 500 foam swabs...sure they cost about...
  2. Basic Sign Making question?

    we find depending on the ink usage that the vinyl is very soft and can stretch. If it is a 4 x 8 sign we have used soapy water and they come out fine.
  3. overprint option?

    If that is so, then why do I also have the option that I can print 2 3 4 etc layers? I am just wondering why they would have the same option twice in the same software?

  5. is my blade shot?

    I am not sure of this strangeness. I replaced my teflon strip a couple months ago so I know thats not the problem.

  6. Work table.

    we have a 4' x 16' working table with UHMW 1/4" on top. Not the cheapest material but lasts for years and then you can just flip it over. For digital we basically set up 4 x 8 tables in the main shop as needed, and then put them away for vehicles to enter
  7. Mimaki Cutter SUCKS!

    Man if I had that type of problem I would never use it to cut large graphics and do them by hand. good luck, I know how frustrating it can be dealing with these issues.
  8. New Merchant Member - New Product

    Not sure I understand how this works. Can I only bring in an image or can I bring in an eps file or any vector based graphics? I tried using it but I really wanted to see what my customer would get and how it looked, but in my limited knowledge I can't figure it out lol WTF I am a sign guy...
  9. Cutter Protection strips

    For as often as they have to be replaced why would you toy around with potentially damaging your cutter? If you use the correct weight and blade depth a strip can last easily 6 months. Now if you can buy the identical material with an adhesive on it already, then I would be interested in...

  15. summa cut mystery

    I have a Summa d-140 and we only use it to cut digitally printed graphics. I have found that if I do not leave enough material (6") after the final black crop marks then the last graphics on the sheet will not finish the cut. I do not believe that is your problem as it's pretty obvious why it...

  20. flexi photoprint 5

    Once again I send out a job to print today and my software has no idea what kind of equipment I have. This seems to happen every 6 weeks.
