I built my own and just used teflon sliders in the bottom of the legs. The only thing I'd do different next time is make it 5x10' or 6x12' instead of 4x8'.

So you're now laying down more magenta in your blues and you're wondering why you have a color shift? :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Geez I'm glad techman replied to you. My name is Curtis too and I was completely lost trying to figure out who this maniac in Florida was and how he knew my name and that things were going well after my move.

I have customers come by the house all the time. As long as you have a clean and presentable shop and present a professional image nobody will care that you're working from home. In fact I have more questions asked of me by my customers about how they can do it (work from home) themselves than...

One way to rule out the ONYX and force the Mimaki tech to look a little deeper would be to find a way to check out the RIP'd file that gets uploaded to the printer. If it doesn't show the mystery gaps then it's definitely the printer. Onyx must have a way to find and check this file.

Try an overnight head wash. Also you might try using the syringe method to draw ink through the head. In the end if it's not firing due to damage, then replacement is your only option.

Regular maintenance which includes the dampers and capping station is really dependent on usage. As for material settings, your best bet is to check with the material manufacturer. Many have downloadable spec sheets with just that information.

So will this work with wasatch softrip? Or do I need to use winplot for a flexcut? Trimming those darn little stickers down by hand is such a PITA.

I had the same problem with the VinylEFX. Interesting effects produced with the chrome vinyl when you print on top of it, but the material has obviously got some issues with the solvent inks. Good thing I only picked up a small sample roll to test with. I won't be offering it as a media unless...

Check the rip settings for the media in question. I'll bet it hasn't been set-up for a white ink configuration.

Did somebody choose the wrong rip settings on the second print run? It's been known to happen from time to time.

It's a common pump for all the inks so if it was gone you'd know by now. I'd replace the cartridge and the ink lines in question. For the small cost of some tubing, a cartridge and a damper you may very well save the cost of a print head. If that gunk in the line hits the head you'll wish you...

So let's summarize your position then. 1: You have no real experience or qualifications to comment on the actual use and sale of print media. 2: You have zero experience, qualifications or relevant skills to comment on the use of and effectiveness of color management technologies. 3...

I noticed you managed to avoid my questions about how accepted measurement standards relate to determining an acceptable color match. Is there a particular reason for this? Do you still stick to the notion that people will not accept a color match to a pantone chip unless it's printed on an...

How many customers, designers, corporate communication departments and agency art directors have you worked with in the real world to come this conclusion? What volume of print media using what different types of reproduction methods have you either produced or sold to clients such as these...

So if I were to print an offset job and expect to match a pantone book I would then have to print on the same paper as the pantone book is printed on. Or one that has an identical white point and gloss level. This what you're saying, correct? Otherwise I will not be printing an acceptable match...

Damn those evil bastards at Pantone and their nefarious book of colors. Damn them, damn them all to hell. Explain to me if you will please Jim, how the same color on vinyl is somehow different than the color in the swatch book? Also how are the colors from pantone any different than those we...

Yes Jim, It's always a good thing when industries trend towards lower standards and less accuracy. You are definitely correct. We should welcome this with open arms and embrace it wholeheartedly. I would be a fool to have ever argued otherwise. American ingenuity at it's finest! I must defer...

Jim if you think for a second the market is trending away from "accurate" printing then you are just kidding yourself. Suffice it to say. I'm very pleased that there are people like you in the digital print industry. You only make my job easier.

I have no affiliation with Pantone. I don't even own a Pantone book. No need to. They've provided the LAB specs in the Adobe Creative Suite. All I've tried to do is spread a little knowledge about making your life where it intersects with color matching simpler. You seem to have a problem in...
