looks like I might switch over to Lyson due to a very sweet deal offered to me by Midwest. Quick search of old topics brought this thread back to my attention and was wondering what your resolution was. Did you get the head working again or completely replaced it? my best guess @ your...

that makes sense, Midwest lets us order by the yard so we must have gotten a short-roll somewhere along the way. i'll pm measurements/pix of what I have in the 15".

o, you clean your heads from there? I just go into maintenance mode and choose "carriage out". Weekly, I clean the front/sides of the heads over the platen with a piece of scrap underneath (the lack of space keeps me from accidentally scrubbing the nozzles) and once a month I clean the back of...

yuck and double-yuck. looks like something my 4th grade teacher made for our classroom. they may as well just have a dry-erase board with scotch-taped colored paper stars all over it. i assume they gave you that original version as direction for what they're looking for? throw away your...

i'm still stumped by what i have here.... my 30" roll is unlabeled but definately has the same embedded "prismatic" watermark in the chrome finish as Avery "Chrome Mirror", whereas my 15" roll is labeled as Avery but is a spot-on match for 3M/Gerber Deluxe Silver, mirror quality finish (avery...

you power-down your printer to scrub your heads? odd, but I guess the "carriage out" mode also allows you to leave it off the capping station indefinately, but i think it beeps at you after extended time. I could be wrong. just keep soaking and you'll be fine. i've had y-current errors that...

Midwest Sign Supply also carries the mimaki ink line, I currently order all of my inks from them since they deliver to me same-day. $10 more a cart, but I never have to stock ink carts again! (even tho' I do carry 1 extra of each color at all times, but I USED to have 2 of each!)

yuck. is there even such a thing as printables that won't fog up when sprayed with laquer thinner?

my 30" is paper lined, and upon closer inspection it has a prismatic pattern in the reflection that my swatchbook from gerber does not, whereas the 15" roll is spot on... but the avery tube leads me to question the manufacturer. no luck with advantage s.s.? can order it directly from their...

must be christmas!

plenty of 30" punched here. I've got 15" punched, as well, but the tube says Avery... still dead-on color match tho' pm sent, but also noted that Advantage Sign Supply (merchant member) carries it as well. Never had issues with them delivering swiftly.

Advantage Sign Supply, having a Chicago branch, is a merchant member here and I buy inks from them all the time. 1 day shipped to me and I'm in Wisconsin!

diy: option a: a piece of 11.875"sq. piece of masking tape on the floor, and an 11.75"sq. piece of dbl.sided tape on the base of the sign. option b: (attached image)

WWJV? (whytheheckyou want jesus vectorized?!?) not EVERYTHING has to be vectorized... just run it through a couple of filters/effects in photoshop, add the text in illustrator, and print it!

are your marks near the edge of the page? sometime my cutter won't detect if my pinch wheels are too close to the marks, thus the cutter not being able to find them within its known margins.

welcome to the forum looks like you have color management issues, I print awesome reds in variations of Magenta and Yellow %'s... sometimes black and cyan for deeper colors. a quick fix is to print a cmyk color chart with icc profiles turned off and pick a red that you like, input those values...

doubtful they'd have to be flame retardant. never heard of such a code, even though it seems like it would be a requirement.... but then again, if its hot enough to ignite a laminated print, you'd be lucky to see at all! ours here at the shop are just digital prints, heavily laminated and...

i've always debated trying something like this with the photopolymer process for our ADA signage, as rubylith is a PITA to weed.

Heck yeah! Congrats man! I was debating even sharing that story, as i'm still baffled @ how it was the fix for me as well! Also added that I now have my firewire cable zip-tied to my printer to keep from pulling on it ever again! Happy Turkey! :toasting:
