  1. "Gummy" Keychains..

    Need to know if anyone here can do some of those for me, 2 colors on one side, one color print on the other. Client wants a price on 3000-5000 of them. I would like to get them a quote by the end of the week if at all possible. Send me a PM on here if you don't mind. Thanks in advance! -Pete
  2. Best CPU Choice

    That is awesome info to know. Maybe I should consider getting a solid state drive and force it to use that as a scratch disk.. Those are supposed to be blazing fast. **okay this thread got me to looking around. I have been using photoshop for 12 years, and never knew about the efficiency...
  3. Best CPU Choice

    Specifically, USB driver problems. It all started when it wouldn't recognize my iphone (eventually they fixed the driver for that problem and you could sync) -- but it has seemed buggy for many many usb devices since. Honestly, I guess I expected more from a quad core processor - but I...
  4. Best CPU Choice

    I use an i5 750 cpu on Windows 7 64 bit pro, and it runs pretty good, best advice I can offer is not to skimp on the ram - I went with 8GB and wish I had done a lot more. There are a few things that are a little buggy with the motherboard I chose. I went with an SLI ASUS P7P55D board... my...
  5. need vector palm for palm reader sign

    Anyone ever done one of these? Options look pretty limited, and she hasnt liked any so far :(
  6. Getting out of the Screenprinting industry :(

    Wow, wish you were closer, I do large format digital - and am thinking about getting a clamshell type press for screens. Can't touch screen printers prices for coroplast signs :(
  7. Scaling graphics for a box truck wrap

    I have rarely used anything higher other than business cards. It wasn't the DPI or PPI question, as though they are different, most folks seem to swap the two terms without really meaning a difference. My question is more about - if I send a 150ppi file to my ripping software and it rips it to...
  8. Scaling graphics for a box truck wrap

    Hate to resurrect this old thread... but I have a few questions. If the highest resolution my printer will print at is 720x1440 - what dpi do i need to design in to achieve this resolution before I rip the file (to reduce pixelation) For instance, I have this customer - comes in and asks me...
  9. Poll - JV33 owners...what ink set do you use?

    I use ES3 -- and have regretted that decision since making it. There is no support for this inkset. SS21 profiles are abundant for every type of material and nearly every company who makes it... good luck trying to find a color profile for ES3 inks. Also, ES3 doesn't have the same "bite"...
  10. Rasterlink profiles for ES3 inks

    thanks for the help guys. I am a little new to Rasterlink, I had Flexi before - and didnt have the same issues - Being a new company, I just can't lay down the cash for Flexi yet. So, whats the CMYK WideMimakiCMYK vs the other all about, if I send a file from Photoshop as a CMYK is interprets...
  11. Rasterlink profiles for ES3 inks

    I managed to get a nice red at 16 pass 1440 -- had to double pass it though. Maybe I should have gone with the 6 color inks, instead of the 4 - and not sure how wild I am about the eco solvents either. There just doesnt seem to be as much support out there for them. I have just decided to...
  12. Rasterlink profiles for ES3 inks

    Having some hard times matching colors with my eco-solvent inks on different materials, and of course, nobody has any profles for ES3 inks. Anyone else out there having this problem? My reds are just WAY off when I try to match Pantone colors.
  13. Printer Running SLOW! JV-33

    I would steer clear of Jpeg's - save it as a tif instead. Even at highest settings, there seems to be more pixelation to me there. I avoided the 15 foot usb rule by purchasing a USB hub and running one 15 foot cable to the hub, and another one after. Getting the right hub can be tricky...
  14. Printer Running SLOW! JV-33

    I have also encountered that issue.. I unplugged the USB cables, and plugged them back in, and it hasn't happened since. I don't know why that could have caused that problem, but itseemed like it would rip a little, sit and wait, then rip some more, and sit and wait. I had another file that a...
  15. Who is running their Mimaki 24/7?

    I had a JV-3 at a previous job, and it ran nearly 24/5 .... never had problems with it other than keeping it clean. I had set up a webcam I could look at from home and keep an eye on the prints. Get you one of those, and set up logmein.com on your pc so you can stop the jobs if you notice...
  16. Brand new JV33-130 - suggested intervals?

    Default is set up for a 48 hour cycle in standby for refresh (wow, that seems like a long time to me), and 168 for the pump tube wash (even bigger wow, that seems like a really long time to me) What do any of you have yours set to? I would hate to clog my print head - even though it is under...
