  1. Is RAID really worth it?

    Raid 5 you can get parity and performance from 3 disk. That would be a cheaper more effective alternative than your 2 array 4 disk setup. When looking at something like this you need to look at what your intended use is. RAID 0 (striped) adds performance but you should not rely on storing...
  2. Anyone ever use an NAS System (Network Attached Storage)

    We use this model http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822155003 It has 2 - 750 gig hard drives in RAID 1 (redundancy). All of our files get backed up to it.
  3. Signs 101 Business Model

    I think closing viewing of forums completely for non members would be devastating to your site. Massive forum communities can pull this off, but only with a few certain areas that are member only viewing ("off topic" general chit chat is a common member only type forum). You block the search...
  4. Motherboards and PCI Slots ? ? ?

    This is by far the way I would go. 6 parallel cards may not play nice together. USB route you will have alot less $$$ in it and it will probably work as good or better. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822998005 I have used one of these before with a plotter, worked...
  5. Why I love My Macintosh

    Hardware wise mac vs pc debate is over; it's all essentially the same these days when you consider architecture. Windows VS OSX is the current debate, but anyhow what you did works exactly the same on a pc of the same hardware! Nothing magically about swapping hard drives. In fact if you know...
  6. Shineright anyone?

    Well, I can say without a doubt shinerite is a nice economy vinyl. I speak from experience we have used a lot of it.
  7. Mimaki Maintenance and Care

    We clean heads, wiper, and capping station every day. Jerhemi, 3 in 1 oil you can get it at any hardware store, it is in a little sqeeze bottle.
  8. Help!! Error 07 Head (*-------) Jv3-160sp

    Remove the cover on the head unit and check the left most ribbon cable going to the black head, you may need to pull it out and reseat the cable into the head. Do it gently! they are fragile
  9. Print Adjust?

    You need to speak with a different tech then, I would call that bad advice. Print adjust simply doesn't affect the way the ink flows through the machine. Kinda like fixing a flat tire by changing the oil. We only do a print adjust when a head is changed. You could do one every few months for...
  10. I got a file that needs converted to curves

    The Vector Doctor, that may well be one of the most helpful post I've read in a while. We run into this issue daily. I will try this trick at work, looks like it works well though on the test file. THANKS!
  11. Mimaki Is Banding, Bad Test Cleans

    I've heard right from mimaki that doing to many nozzle washes will damage the nozzles. We slide the head over every morning on ours and clean around them, clean the capping station and wiper every morning also. When we have clogging issues, they usually happen after the weekend, we can usually...
