How does the mimaki printer cutter compare to the versacamm?

Ouch, yea thanks for that input, mos def. Wont be using white or silver.

And yes im going with double cmyk, i was just hoping the white and metallic option would be a better fit, but for now ccmmyykk is the way to go

O and i forgot to mention, alot of our printed work is non laminated, in our area business change signs a couple times a year.... also we dont do thousands of stickers either, or else id think about the seperate print and cut, most of our bigger jobs will be left to produce at night, and ill...

Im glad you brought this up, i was going to post it in the previous threads on the subject, weve been doin vinyl for 15 years, we got two plotters, so yea i hear you on printing and cutting, but i dont need it, im going with an eco solvent system, with a print and cut option, and later on, i...

Thanks, i was also looking at a roland versacamm, but mimaki is winning me over...although versaworks looks easier to rip. Im sure ill catch on. So theres no problem finding profiles for mimaki oem inks or a third party ink for mimaki?

Im looking to buy a mimaki cjv3 54in. With the dx5 print head, anyone have any tips, or advise, or is dx4 the way to go? Also... solvent vs eco solvent inks? Im very concerned about health reasons, but i hear theres not many profiles for the eco solvent inks,... And any advise on which ink...

Ive had a cg 130fx for almost ten years now, still running on my old xp. Workhorse!! Cutting all day long. Its and older model, so no sheet cut option, besides that i love it, i now use a graphtec fc800_75 for smaller signage and more detailed work, being new its more dependable, and fast as...

Ill check tomorrow, im usually busy at the shop... wouldnt the security keys not work?

I still have advatage on my old computer, still works good, i love omega though, same shortcuts, like h for hook, e for eraser, ctrl i for size, etc. Much quicker, plus the new options when you right click, outlines, shadow, distoetion, warp... and i hated pressing m, to habe to be able to move...

Im the other way around, i got the version for the edge, i dont even use it, i just cut vinyl... is there a way to turn it off?

Sounds good, im going to put that on my christmas list... but i would like to maybe find a temporary solution, so im looking at the seagate goflex drive? Or normal external drive, and use a switch for now. Also, what are my options for the scanner organizer, key word search program, so far ive...

Ill google it later, but anyone have a simple explanation of what raid is? Is it like a nas? Or a server

Ya, i agree, im not trying to go the cheap route, i rather habe my bumper to bumper warranty from the dealer then get that voided..my other sign supplier is trying to push a third party ink, thats why i asked. Ill stick to roland ecosolmax inks....i was just wondering the difference in color...

I love my graphtec fc8000!

How many of you guys use roland ink, or other inks? Any big differences? Besides a bulk ink setup.

Yea, i just use it for vinyl, so its not a big deal, i can assign colors well, it just doesnt show up right when i press f8, or filled view. Its mainly so the customers can see a better preview

Thanks guys, ya i use the bottom strip of colors, i will check about the doubles tomorrow, it was busy as hell today.

Sorry, been busy, im going to open that file and check, i remember it stopped on the last e of the word. Question for all you graphtec owners, what settings do you use for regular vinyl. I just left them at their default, i slow it down and bump up the pressure to 50 for chrome. Also i think my...

I feel good about upgrading parts, i swapped out the power supply for my hppavilion and got it a better graphics card, wanting to put more ram. Will a file server replace my need for neatdesk?
