  1. Mimaki - long cable connection?

    The USB repeaters work great. I have them in my shop and they solved my distance issues perfectly. Shop around. They vary greatly in price from retailer to retailer and manufacturer to manufacturer.
  2. JV33 CMYKLcLm SS21

    Try these guys. They're in your neck of the woods and offer a warranty on the ink delivery parts. http://www.itlgb.com
  3. JV33 with Rasterlink Not ripping correctly?

    What file format did you send to the rip?
  4. JV33 with Rasterlink Not ripping correctly?

    That sounds strange. Is there NO overlap or just too small? Did you account for the .6" margins on either side of the panels? Rasterlink seemed like a pretty good RIP when I used it. Too bad they want so fricken much to upgrade it to be able to use custom icc profiles.
  5. Profiling JV33

    Is there a way to use the chart from Profiler? The DTP41UV doesn't allow you read individual patches. Just strips. I can export the data from profiler. Is there any way around hand entering 160 fields of data?
  6. Profiling JV33

    Rasterlink III will not allow you to profile. I picked up Wasatch's softrip and have been creating my own profiles with Profiler 4.8 and a DTP41UV. The only complaint I have about color so far is that the softrip only uses a 15 step linearization strip. I get much better results when I use the...

  8. What best describes your location?

    What phrase best describes my location. 3 step commute from my bedroom to the office.
  9. Mimaki printing wrong colors!

    Good luck with dark saturated reds. You'll be chasing that one for days. It's probably going brown because it's out of gamut and being remapped to the closest color it can find.
  10. Ecosol in any printer?

    Sure it'll work, just stick the whole machine in the oven at 275 degrees when you do it so the ink will adhere. We do it here all the time. It works great!
  11. Color management issues

    Get custom profiles done and your problems disappear. End of story. Even with "accurate" canned profiles your gray balance will be iffy at best. Neutral grays are the most difficult thing to achieve in the print process. They are also the most important when it comes to matching color. If...
  12. Looking for PRO monitor

    The samsung 275T displays about 90% of the Adobe RGB gamut (1998). For well under $1000. The Eizo should be able to display the entire Adobe RGB gamut (1998). Although if you're looking to soft proof your prints from an inkjet it's overkill as your printer has nowhere near the same color range...
  13. What da font?

    Main font is very very close to Concorde or Calista.
  14. Speckly areas of single colour.

    For fine detail go to a higher resolution and increase the number of passes. Switching to the CMYK light cyan + light magenta ink set will clean up those speckles as well. Printing at 1440x1440/64 pass will all but eliminate any visible dots, but you'll need the patience of a saint to wait for...
  15. JV33 - Heat Problem?

    Yes.
  16. JV33 - Heat Problem?

    I had the exact same problem. Mimaki recommends 40/40/50 for heat with the ecosols. Less than that (~35/35/50) with the SS21's. Check your manual and you'll find the recommended settings for different media types. I run 45/45/50 for 13oz double sided banner no problem, but once I got into the...
  17. Mimaki ?

    While it's not listed as a user serviceable part it's supposed to be fairly easy to replace. I haven't had to touch mine. Once it's out of warranty the cost of replacement can be quiet high, but if you google "Epson D5X solvent print head" you'll find them for sale online much cheaper than...
  18. Looking for a price on rasterlink profiling add-on

    Shoot me a PM with a price and availability for the color profiling addition to rasterlink 3. I believe the software has recently been updated to version 2. Cheers.
  19. pinch wheels not found error

    They're sending a tech to replace the sensor and mainboard next week. It mysteriously started working again this AM. So at least I got the job out the door that I needed to.
  20. pinch wheels not found error

    My brand spanking new T1400 isn't seeing any of the pinch wheels. I have less than 10 tests run on it and it's unable to load any media. Yes they are set in the correct positions and clicked into place. Has anybody seen this before? Summa said they haven't seen it before when I called tech...
