It's fairly easy to cut gatorboard into circles with the pin and string method, but foamcore is too soft and the center pin will move too much. If your client will be upset with a hole in the center of their project, you'll need to farm the cutting out to someone with a flatbed cutter or a...

After 25 years of being self employed the stress from not knowing where your next pay check is coming from fades away. The number one way to reduce the level of stress when things slow down is ensure you have a decent amount saved up to get you through the lean times. I always make sure I keep...

You need to create device link profiles. In order to do that you first need to profile each machine and then you wind up throttling back the most colourful printer to be no better than the worst colour printer. http://www.freeprocesscontrol.com/devlink.htm

It was nice out yesterday. It only took about 20 minutes in the sun and it faded away.

Seeing as how it's on a solid black signface, do you think that a day in the sun might make it go away?

The last little bit of a roll I just finished left a pretty cloudy appearance when I applied it to a solid black sign face. This isn't silvering which I'm familiar with, but instead it's like the actual laminate has a cloudy appearance, which was only on the very end of the roll. Has...

My concern is more to do with the laminate not going into the grout depressions and leaving an edge that the polisher can grab. There's plenty of laminates that can stand up to the polisher and the base vinyl isn't an issue. It's whether or not the harder stiffer lams will get yanked up at the...

I have a client who wants to put floor graphics onto a tiled and grouted floor. My first sample supplied to them was on a cast air release (they want to install it themselves and I figured it would be easier to work with) with a cast 1.5 mil laminate that was approved for slip resistance...

Not only are they fast, they're very knowledgable. My S160T came with a bad motherboard that was causing some strangeness when it was attempting to sense where the rollers were. I had already tried all the usual culprits, like restarts, etc. and it was still happening. I called them up, he had...

Without any extra effort, the process of linearizing my inks (Mimaki ES3) brings them into neutrality. Unlike SWOP based offset inks, it would seem most digital inks don't require much playing around with different amounts of CMY to achieve neutrality. Where SWOP inks need more C than MY and...

A couple of computer fans and some tubing is really all the mimaki vent system is. Unless your dealer is pushing another air-scrubber system on you.

Thanks guys, much appreciated. I'm going to give a few of them a try on some sample stock and see what fairs the best. I also found a very aggressive adhesive from FLEXcon that seems to be rated about twice as sticky as the arlon and oracal products.

I have a client who is using cut vinyl decals for their heavy equipment ID's and branding and we're having the problem of the vinyl not wanting to release from the transfer tape (medium tack). It's not the transfer tape being too aggressive, but the vinyl isn't wanting to stick to the surface...

Since the SS21's contain VOCs, you might be asking for a world of hurt with a straight vent to the outdoors with them. Or maybe not. Check your local regulations to be sure, before you wind with a fine from the local gubbermint. Another option is get an inline fan duct and a activated charcoal...

Check the connection of the cables to the head. If they are dropping out completely all at once on just one head, it sounds like a cable might not be sending the signal to fire the jets. It might just be loose, or it might be worn out and frayed internally. Or an air leak is possible, but two...

Wouldn't it be nice to have a mimaki to epson head rank ID cross reference chart?

You can still input the head rank ID manually. Hold down function and remote when you push the power button on the front. You can then scroll down through the function button to a set of adjustments under the tag #adjust. Under #adjust you'll find you can manually change the head ID, provided...

It's an upgrade for the regular Onyx RIP for the 8/10 color versions. It will run CMYK out of the box, but if you want white/orange/gray/silver it requires an extra upgrade to the rip according to the japanese translation of epson's .jp site.

I've used flames templates and the ones from motosport templates. Both are good and fit well. I have no experience with the ones from Hunt.

I was just coming back to say I found it at the same place. Thanks for your help fred.
