  1. Vinyl rubberizing machine????

    i purchased the kit and found it to be to labour intensive to charge an appropriate price for it. Also the epoxy cartridges only have a 6 month shelf life. There are companies that do have automated machines that will do many at one time.
  2. Sericol Ink

    you are probably right about the profile use. I don't do my own profiles as of yet, but have found that any and all in the thin position were a problem for me. Maybe in the future I may try doing my own profiling, but if profiles are built for my machine by others on the given materials why...
  3. Sericol Ink

    I found that printing anything in thin with Mimaki oem inks had scuffing problems. I was afraid to let anything go without a lamination of some sort. Just look at it wrong and there was a mark. I had the heads raised for printing easier on banners and the benefit I have noticed is that the...
  4. Anybody else having kooky computer problems?

    These problems happen because someone is surfing porn online!!! No just joking, but I bet a more than just a few of you perked up there lol I too had a mother board blow last week on a relatively new computer (1 year). It hung twice while printing banners and not at the beginning either...

    your heads set to thick or thin?
  6. Teflon Strip

    the graphtec we have always seperates from the adhesive, so here is what I have to do. It's a little painful but works well to clean off all the glue. I use one of those l'il chizzler tools and slowly work it along the glue. I also will rub my thumb along the glue as it seems to be the best way...
  7. production manager deleting cut jobs after they cut

    Thank you Jay!!! :)
  8. production manager deleting cut jobs after they cut

    my production manager is deleting cut jobs after they are cut. It never used to until last week for no reason that I can figure Flexi wanted to know what printer I have and what cutter. It already had been set up a year ago and I thought wtf, just shut the box it will default automatically, but...
  9. Print to Cut, and actually cutting correctly.

    I have a Mimaki printer with a Summa d140 cutter. I am absolutley amazed that I can contour cut my printed graphics with NO BLEED. I swear this is true. I don't do excessively long runs, instead I break the job down into "X" amount of quantities so that incase something horrible does go wrong...
  10. Color Management For Idiots

    I print out the colour charts on our machine using different profiles, then when I need a pantone colour I go searching for the closest match. I have found that there a re a ton of colours you will never get close to with a 4 col printer, blues being one of them...
  11. mimaki jv3 alignment

    media compensation is the term. In Local mode press function then press the enter button 4 times. You should have been taught this in your training as every media will need some adjustments made for each. Once you are in that mode it will print the double grey line and you have to look...
  12. pdf files

    yes it opens there and I see all the copy and the photograph. In Flexi the pic is missing but all the copy is present.
  13. pdf files

    Excuse my ignorance here, but usually I do not have a problem opening pdf files in Flexi Photoprint 5.0. Today however I tried and the photo that I see in Acrobat does not come into Flexi. Any ideas whats going on? Is it a problem that the real photo was not embedded?
  14. Mamaki jv3 130 spII - print prob

    I don't have this happening all that often but wondered how others deal with it. I run Flexi Photoprint and have endured almost a year on it and have a pretty good understanding of it at this point. I sometimes find though that on graphics that I am going to cut, that sometimes the printer does...
  15. double cuts in flexi

    I have an issue with Photoprint which is a stripped down version of Flexi. If I bring in lets say multiple signs to be printed and in this case they are multiple as there are different lot numbers on each sign. I put a black key line around each sign (hairline) and when I am in Photoprint I grab...
  16. Mimaki jv3 printing on glossy banner?

    I have had the same problem, and you guys may be right, but I found that if I loosened the roll and peeled out about 2 feet that as the printer pulled on the banner it was actually still pulling on the main roll as the rolled off portion kind of sticks to itself. I have found that the moment...
  17. Mimaki jv3 take up reel

    There is a way to tighten the take up wheel, not sure I can remember how to do it, check the manual. What a bummer. I caught mine doing that on banner material last week, but in my case the roll was getting to heavy for the motor to turn.
