well, that was it, got a beautiful print! ..guess I shouldn't have wasted energy on freakin out down here... maybe I could delete all references to my tantrum before the rest of the world wakes up... nah, that's just me I guess, always impatient & a bit of a loose cannon. well thanks to all...

OK... progress, the other job I needed to run tonight just printed fine. The one giving me troubles was a photoshop file sent in layers & compressed with Stuffit from a designer on a mac platform. I had to get the free dl of stuffit expander for PC to get at the file, then I flattened a...

tried to find time all day & evening for some prints on the Mimaki that are due tomorrow. Finally around 11 pm I got everything set up & having not had dinner... decided to step out for a few quick slices to get some energy for a late night printing session... well, my throat is sore & voice...

Eyehawk, I have to think that an articulate, informative & well illustrated post like Bobby's is a glimpse into the thought process of an effective capable designer who knows what he is talking about & has the ability to show others a valuable tip when one is found. Then , I have to wonder...

Zipper, my comment was that "these kinds of issues had been gone over", but not intending to say that your specific issue had been addressed. I also didn't see until now that Tony & I were posting at almost the same time. Anyway, not being a tech I thought the same as fred... that "If I was...

I have both running. Never pay Gerber for that kind of question. Not only WILL you get answers here, but spend some time learning the capabilities of the search tool both here & at 4edgetalk.com These kinds of issues have been gone over so many timeas already. It's great to pop in here & check...

bummer... long reply just vanished in cyberspace.. I don't know your software, but an easy way is just send the layout of the arrow over the letters, it will cut both & you can weed out all of the arrow as well as the excess around the text, this will give you the "knock-out" in your text...

I have a Mimaki also. I was a CasMate user for years. I have always been a big fan of Adobe Illustrator, so I do a lot of design work there, but I got a second hand copy of CasMate along with my first plotter 10 years ago, so I just used the CasMate for all my cutting. I had also used it at...

Good info Barry, in all honesty my dealer does not sell Roland & that, coupled with the fact that I have had less then stellar experience with Roland in the past, had a lot to do with my purchase decision. After the pricebreaks I negotiated on the collection of equipement, I paid somewhere...

I bought a Mimaki & I think it is better then either machine being discussed... but mostly because of the vendor I choose to do business with. After 10 years I have seen the difference between dealing with substandard vendors. Advantage Sign Supply is an excellent company with a great sales...

I just went searching for his posts & couldn't find it, but a guy over in letterville named Mike O'neil posted about having Roland tell him that same story & he found a way around it & got himself a Versacamm where he chose to get it from. ...wait..just went back and found it...

congrats LP!

did it happen to be paint?

yes, it should show up there. I suppose you need to "install" it there, but that is outside my memory of whenever it was that I did it, so I won't try to advise you other then to say mine shows up there & I'd be pretty confident in saying your should too.

more kudos to Barry here. but lets get Dave up & running too... I think Jim has some very good points. also is it an edge 2? I think on one media I was getting errors that were solved by setting the edge to print as an edge1. This setting is located by clicking on the camera-like icon in...

no, but I will now.

once you set it lower then the width of your vinyl, you may sacrifice more efficiency on one axis to gain a lesser amount of efficiency on the other axis. Consider 6" long script with lots of letter centers to cut out. Now consider 12 copies of this running perpendicular to the width of the...

7.6v2 working fine for all 2 days of my digital inkjet printing career.

I don't know much about other printers, but hopefully the HP you're looking at is better then the HP5000 that Kinkos uses. It can print banners, but the ink rubs right off when your client carries the banner out to the car if they are not careful. It also fades way too fast to really offer it as...

in the first photo in this post, the edge is the farthest back grey machine before the computer in the left corner... the graphtec is the machine to the right of that computer. The computer that will be outputting jobs to the Mimaki is just out of view to the left of the chair in the foreground...
