I've brought this up before, but the first thing I would do is try a different profile. We get by far the best results on our JV33 with a 540x1080 profile (really any). I'd almost bet money this would solve it. If not, I second the damper notion. It looks like a mild case of ink starvation...

Have you contacted your insurance company? I'm not positive on how insurance works for something like this but I thought I remember when we took out our policy years ago that ours would kick in in the event of a subcontractor's failure to fix their own mistake, more or less insuring the...

Hahahaha :cool1:

lol, sure I can send the .eps file to anyone who wants it, just PM me your email and I'll send it over, it's a large file.

My wife and I work side by side here, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. That said, it has presented some hurdles and challenges both for the business and for our marriage, and we've seen some good times and bad times working together. But all in all, it's been a vastly more positive thing...

Dunno if it helps, but here is our job board, we've been using it for about 2 years now and it's proven to work well for us. It's about the 15th version of it, it's the first that lasted longer than a couple months. It's got spaces for every job, proof and install for the upcoming week, plus...

We used to have that problem with them too, we finally stopped buying from them a couple years ago. On top of crazy billing issues they also missed about 2 out of 3 deadlines and left us hanging...

Welcome! We print our retractables on POSpro 200 with good results. It's finicky to print on and requires a good profile to get good color but it's the most consistent printing material we've found for the application. We've had mixed results (at best) with the POPup material from Fellers...

Very nice. So do you think this was a worthwhile investment? I'm really fascinated by this. Like it or not, alternative energy sources are in our future, and it's going to cost more and more to continue to use traditional sources and less and less to use solar and wind power.

I highly recommend GraphixCalc. Very affordable, does everything you'd ever need it to do, easy to use, and it's accurate.

+1. They all print, they all print well, they will all do what you want them to do. The brand or model really doesn't matter, the only difference really between them is going to be print speed and the higher solvent ink of the Mimaki. Otherwise, they all do the same thing. Dealer support is key...

I'm interested to hear your technique, please post it here!

We average about $700/mo here at the shop. Has anybody added a solar system to their shop to help cut down on utility bills? I've been kicking the idea around but it's really hard to get an idea just how much you'll actually save, so it's hard to calculate the ROI, if any...

Was that by any chance 3M IJ35? We printed a couple rolls of that today and found at least 4-5 smashed bugs between the two rolls.

The higher the solvent content the more outgassing is a reality. Low-solvent inks on Rolands and Mutohs may not need to outgas much, but I can say with absolute certainty that if your printer has a higher solvent level than "eco-solvent" you need to let things cure longer than 10 minutes. I...

We've been running a Royal Sovereign for 5 years and have no real complaints, once you get it dialed in it runs well. Our volume has increased to the point that it's a little bit of a bottleneck and it's 1/2" nip opening is becoming a problem occasionally, so we're replacing it with a higher-end...

Wow.

How do you like that for these? We use POSpro 200 and I'd love to find a substitute, it prints pretty well but it's stupid expensive and I know there are better alternatives out there, I've just never found anything else that's as consistent. Sorry to be a :thread

What brand are you selling? I'd suspect you are buying some pretty low-end economy stands without knowing it. A lot of companies sell complete junk and pass them off as good quality stands. I highly recommend you look into Orbus as a supplier. We were buying stands from several vendors only to...

X-Rite Eye One Display 2, works very well. Remember, just calibrating your monitors alone will get you more accurate or consistent on-screen color reproduction but it's no guarantee it's going to resemble any output from any other devices. If you just want your monitors to be closer and be...
