  1. Project: 700hp Matte Black SC300

    i like it, but maybe do the door handles/mirrors in CF to set them off? that way it doesn't look like you just primed it, and are planning on painting it down the road ^_^ like i said, i really like it!
  2. CJV30 profile to walltex

    Another idea is to run an overprint. if your material is absorbing the ink, runnign a second overprint pass will put down twice as much ink and will saturate the textile (hopefully) another option is to try a different profile that lays down more ink. a backlit material or IJ180 profile will...
  3. Plotter driver question

    yes, on their page (found by doing a 5-sec google search for 'Jaguar 2') they have a plugin available for 30-day trial that works with Corel & AI. http://www.gccworld.com/software.php?PROD_TYPE=cutter&ID=English_090610203206 as much as we like you, google doesn't judge. try her out sometime...
  4. Software stupor

    the recommendation i give everyone who likes to learn is: take a class. if there is a local community college, they probably have a computer design class that focuses on Corel/Illustrator. for 200 bucks or so, you get a semester of knowledge and some reference books for the future. the videos...
  5. .tif images look blue?

    also, OMEGA 3.0 has that "preferences" button EVERYWHERE! once you change your settings to make it look right, set that as a preference and it should use it by default every time.
  6. envision cutting strip

    while many manufactures re-brand (the gerber tempo is a graphtec Ce5000) you want to use the cutting strip that is designed for your plotter. some of them will be of varying thicknesses, or sizes, and you want to ensure a proper fit. that being said, you can save some money buy buying a 60"...
  7. Yaa! Got my 1204 today!

    good luck! the 1204 is a great little guy, and is a good way to enter solvent printing! enjoy it!
  8. HP Designjet 9000S questions...

    As much as that sounds like a good price, the printer is discontinued and hp is not longer "required" to offer support. they are now, and probably will for a next couple of years, but that may become an issue down the road. Just something to consider, as you could have issues down the road...
  9. Gerber M3000 Cutting Table - Training ??

    who quoted you that price? that may be the standard install service that Gerber requires. If it was a vendor that sells Gerber equipment, they have a set training schedule Gerber likes them to follow. If they are worth their salt, the vendor should be able to supply you with a list of what all...
  10. Greenish stripe in yellow on JV33-130

    ok, i'm not sure if you have solved this or not, but the first thing i saw was that you have a broken piece of plastic on your ink slot that you pulled out. that little piece of plastic is probably the flag on the ink end sensor that tells the printer you are out of ink. that sensor tells the...
  11. Die cutting with crop marks (how to?)

    Unfortunately not. Graphtec uses its proprietary driver, while others use the generic HP-GL driver. the GP-GL driver is typically more stable, and if you get used to illustrator, you will find you don't need anything else to to cut graphics other than the plotter and cutting master. if you work...
  12. Die cutting with crop marks (how to?)

    Simply put, you will be adding a design element for the cut path (invisible on the print itself) and registration marks which will be printed to give the plotter a way to register where to cut. this is all done through illustrator and the cutting master plugin, available through...
  13. FlexiSign-Pro Question

    what software are you using to communicate to your engraver? I know Artpath will let you select a path and carve out the inside of it, so you wouldn't need to do the hatch pattern. The easiest way to do it in flexi is purchase the engrave option. call your vendor (Advantage Sign, Grimco, or...
  14. Where to buy printheads?

    While people are right, the head itself is identical to several other printers on the market, there is a plate the mimaki has manufactured as a mounting bracket, so unless you pull that off your old head, most likely you won't be able to buy a generic head for replacement. Not that it raises the...
