really? $2000-$8000 for a printer from Shanghai? I've also heard of numerous people orderign thigns from Alibaba, never getting them and never getting their money back. I think you'd get "Shanghai'd" on the deal. As example, the JV34-260, which is only 2.6m across (and looks like it's probably...

not all, but most send HPGL commands. you should be able to find out the language your software sends, and make sure your plotter is set to receive it.

I've learned you don't teach someone a project. you teach them a skill, and let them practice it through the project. The teacher in question does not understand that either, and thinks that by doing a project, they will retain the information. Also, is 7:30 is "too early" for the teacher, why...

there are hundreds of profiles available for the L26500. Being in Europe, you should have several profiles for medias we don't have in the states. Caldera shouldn't be a bottleneck for your profiles, as I often go to the European websites (orafol.com mostly) to find caldera profiles. Plus...

You should have an Owner's Manual on CD with your printer. If not, www.mimaki.com has it for download. It has all of the feed adjust and alignment procedures for the machine, and it's written very easily with pictures. There is also a menu tree at the end, in case you can't figure out where a...

Put all your middle rollers to low pressure when cutting. You run the risk of putting marks on the print, but if it fixes the issue, you'll know the correction.

If you're looking for a 54" printer sub-10k, you're looking used. Look around at what is available to you and bring back some more information. Used printers really depend on your area as to how much you can get.

there is no outgassing, because there is nearly no solvent in the inks themselves (only enough to keep the water "pure"). You do need to wait until the material cools back to room temperature before finishing, but thats about 10-15 mins after printing.

if it is pumping ink out of the system, and you can see ink going into the waste bucket, but the lines/dampers still have a lot of fluid in them, something is't working right. either the cap isn't sealing, the pump isn't working 100%, or the valved are sticking. something is making the ink not...

The way a "chip charger" works is to write it 100% full most likely. you have to keep an eye on the cartridge to ensure the ink doesn't run out. Then, write the % on the chip when the ink actually runs out, and use it again down the road when another chip doesn't work. It's not really worth it...

You can also check firmware on the printer, as they change the "lockout" for chips with each new firmware. If you're not using 3rd party inks, upgrading firmware is a perfectly fine option. The way Mutoh explained it to me, they use an extra data bit on the chips, with a random number in it. If...

All UV inks have the same issue of not being completely cured as soon as they are finished. is most porous medias, they are easily handled within minutes of printing, but most are completely cured within 24 hours of printing (best ink bond). That being said, the CET does a great job of laying...

The mechanics are Graphtec, they are built by Graphtec, but they have a custom SW firmware that makes the Graphtec software not work well with them. Also, Graphtec will not support the Q-Series plotters, because they aren't "true" Graphtec plotters. I used the word Graphtec alot there, didn't I :)

OH! you don't REALLY have a Graphtec then, do you? :peace!: No worries. the Sign Warehouse plotters are pretty shady sometimes. I've had customers who got them and SW took the ARMS sensor out of them (about 400-700 bucks to replace) and shook 200 off the price. They also change the firmware...

You should pick a different vendor if they can't answer a simple questions like "will what i'm buying work with this other thing i want to buy?" Flexi10 will work with both of your GS6000 & your Graphtec plotter. Cutting Master is a plugin for AI or CorelDRAW that is free from Graphtec, and...

Colorburst includes their cut portion now, but its really wonky to use. I'd go with upgrading Flexi, since you are used to it.

Oracal 3850 has an excellent white point when not lit, and lights smoothly.

Also, here's videos form Graphtec on how to setup the perf cut and design the files for the process. http://www.graphtecamerica.com/FAQs/cutting_plotters.html

you really have 2 options to do what you want: 1) Print and cut both from your Flexi Product (you'll have to bring the design into design portion, rather than sending directly from PM) 2) Use AI to design the cut / reg marks, Print from VersaWorks, cut from AI The first is easier (1 software...
