  1. Grimco and Epson Issue

    I bought a Mimaki printer through Grimco last year and it was a horrible experience. My Grimco sales rep offered me a printer that was no longer available after I signed the contract. After we finally received a different printer, I had some questions so I emailed her and she called me and told...
  2. Opinion Grimco in the PNW has gotten so much worse after their latest merger with TubeliteDenco

    Grimco supposedly stocks a lot but with some items, they will not automatically ship from warehouses far away from you. I had to order some basic screen printing ink. Their website told me it was out of stock and would be about 3 weeks before I would get it. I called in and got in touch with the...
  3. Opinion Grimco in the PNW has gotten so much worse after their latest merger with TubeliteDenco

    You are 1,000% correct. I cringe every time I place an order with Grimco because I know that I'll have to sift through what is damaged and what is useable. I've started using Sun Supply in Kent for some items and have had really good luck. The prices are higher but the quality has been 100%. I...
  4. fellers black label

    https://www.signs101.com/threads/has-anybody-tried-the-new-vinyl-from-fellers.150514/#post-1656987 Here's a thread to read. I had bought a roll right before I saw this thread. I haven't used the vinyl after reading....
  5. Left magenta missing, please help

    I bought a CJV150-130 back in April. I've had nothing but problems. This is one of the problems I was having along with the machine not being set up properly in the first place. I had a Mimaki technician come out the week before last. The printer was finally properly set up. He replaced the...
  6. Pallet pricing on cast material for trailer wraps, can anyone beat this?

    Does Grimco have any reps anymore? I purchased equipment through them in March and right after that, I was told that a lot of reps and techs were laid off. Some of the reps I work with, and have worked with for years, were let go.

    You are being extremely courteous. I appreciate you bringing this up and I will be watching my items a little closer.
  8. vendor disappointment

    I've ordered quite a bit from them recently and haven't seen any issues. Thank you for the heads up! I'll be watching a little closer now.
  9. Sticky gloss ink

    Yes. The colors will change with ink density. I haven't messed around with resolution too much but I have changed the ink density by clicking the Q, Quality. And then at the top, I click the color adjust tab. The first option is Density, Whole. Although it depends on the profile I am using, I...
  10. Sticky gloss ink

    Is the printer laying down too much ink? I just bought a CJV150 and I'm having this same issue. I had a JV33 but I was using Wasatch. I'm not using RasterLink and I've had to dial back the density of the ink by quite a bit.
  11. Threat of Closing this year...

    Might be a stupid question, but does your area have a Chamber of Commerce that you can join and get involved with? I've found these are great to join but you have to be active to get attention. Our local Chamber has social events that we are able to attend and network with other local...
  12. Opinion Screen-printed shirts - Quality check on aisle 3

    The ink didn't hit the correct temperature to cure(320 degrees) or the white ink got too hot between flashing and didn't allow the blue to stick to the white. The quality of the "good" print is not good at all. The white isn't covering the black shirt. The colors aren't lined up. Sorry to see...
  13. Overlaminate without a laminator

    I use water to laminate. Spray water on the laminate and then roll it over the vinyl and push out all the water.
  14. Mimaki CG-130AR Error 50c Width

    I just purchased this machine less than a month ago and I'm at a standstill. I started the machine up this morning and loaded material. The machine completely paused up and then did some kind of reset. Now I'm having multiple issues. I'm getting Error50c width when I tell it that I'm using 3 of...

    That's scary. Thanks for sharing!
  16. Rounding corners on Max Metal (ACM) sign panels

    It works great. I use it for 3mil and 6mil MaxMetal all the time. I replace the dye about every 5 years.
  17. Equipment Suggestions

    I heard back from Grimco after giving them this same information. They came back to me, after speaking to their Mimaki Rep, and recommended the JV100-160. I would rather not have a 64" printer because I won't utilize the extra printing space and I would have to make room in my office as I...
  18. Decal stock advice

    I would suggest using Oracal 3164HT.
