  1. Help! Mimaki JV33 - Banding problem! Please help

    I get this happening here and there, I found that it is the media , the material you're printing has friction burns, as what makes the surface distorted by a rolling system where they manufacture the vinyl (your media) etc... I tested this printing on calendared vinyl and then switching to...
  2. Switching Mimaki from Firewire to Parallel in RasterLink - Please Help

    I used the parallel port to print from the mimaki , however its a waste of time, the transfer was so slow I could probably paint the image faster by hand than wait for the printer to spit out the image... you gotta go to your rip setup and switch from firewire to parallel... like I said again...

    you all waste your time and money on printing on 2 medias for backlit signs...., the trick is to print on single clear media x 2 ink layers callibrated with linearization mode, it only works in flexi 7.6, we run flexi 7.6 for all back lit media and 8.6 for opaque prints, for some dumb reason in...

  9. Stroke in large size prints

    Why would you work in vector based program as corel and then export again to a vector program as Illy then process it all in ps ??, I export all my vector graphics with in one file as eps or ai and work it away in ps, I have never ever seen more messed up artwork coming from illustrator than any...

    I agree with the dither type to some extent, I used to print everything with KF diffusion with a realy good results, it just the rip time can not comapre to FM bit I am not sure if that could fix the problem...., so far the only solution was flexi generated gradient..., I am still surprised...
  16. Roland Swatch using a gradient Question

    try changing the color space of the gradient, alternate between rgb and cmyk..., I never rely on cmyk color space..., and besides you view your graphics on an RGB monitor within RGB color space.... gotta love color profiling :):toasting:
  17. Gradient Prints Streaky

    Nothing had changed, flexi runs and rips perfect and yes I had seen this problem happening on numerous occasions but those times we were able to let it slide , this time 70 of gradient will be exposed with nothing on top of it so it is absolutely important to have this done right..., the print...
