I'm getting some light banding in this background I'm printing. I saw it on another print that had an orange solid area. Seems to be with certain colors cause I didn't see it in some lighter blue prints I did a coupe weeks ago. I've checked my feed comp and adjusted it and my drop position...

Another ink price increase for Mimaki inks now. 6% up. They also are changing some of their shipping from their warehouses, if you get something drop shipped from them it'll be $150 if the order in under $2600. Apparently they are getting tooo many drop ships from their warehouses and it's...

Epson S Series Service - 0000200 This came up on my system this weekend and I looked it up and it's some kind of tube that needs to be changed out. However I am out of warranty and Epson said it would be $2800 for the service. I'm wondering if there are any independent tech in new england...

Noticed this on a couple of prints the other day. Where parts of the print with clear got puffed up in certain areas. Other areas stayed flat. Not the difference in ink height, but I can literally push the puffed up area down but it will come back. Not sure what would cause this. Any ideas? This...

Been looking for some thicker holographic or metallic gold vinyl 4mils or thicker. No sign vinyl as I need it for stickers. I want to run them on my UV printer and not laminate them so ideally something 6mils would be perfect, but I can really only find a regular holographic in 6mils.

Have a larger customer looking to get a shipping weight of a job I quoted them. How do I go about calculating the price on 3000 decals on material I don't have for quoting?

So I've started getting other jobs to quote and have a job of 3000 - 6" x 6" window clings signs for banks to put up for some temporary signage. (Think it's for a holiday) I've never printed on static cling and just did my first job with clear and white on my UCJV330 which worked fine. No issues...

I recently had a job I did with spot gloss and the sheets crackled a bit here and I mailed them off to the customer and when he got them they were really stuck together so much that some of the backing paper from the sheet on top stuck to the gloss on the sheet below. It may be a combination of...

Been trying to experiment with layered printing and I wanted to try a print with white and clear. However it cannot print white and clear in the same pass so it has to retract the print (after printing white & 4 color) and then do the clear. What's happening is the original print is fine then...

Now I've got my UCJV running and have started to use it. I forgot how incredibly slow print and cut machines are with cutting. (I printed small labels with a perforation line, print area was approx 48" x 23") Took 15mins to print and 25mins to cut. Not very ideal for production in the cutting...

Hey everyone, I'm in a pinch and need someone to help me with some UV printed stickers with spot gloss. Size is about 2.32" x 2.5" and they are a custom cut shape. Would just need them cut to shape or the backer can be square. (I was going to print them here on my UV machine, but I'm having...

Hey everyone, I was wondering who uses a UPS/surge protection on their printers, cutters, etc.. And if so what are you using for protection on these expensive items? We had a bad storm roll through last week and I was typing on my keyboard and got a shock through it from the lightning...

I'm still thinking about getting some kind of color management when I get my Mimaki UV printer in. I've only minimally dealt with i1 Pro but that was in a sheet-fed offset environment and that was years ago and I've forgotten all the things I had to do with profiling so I'm pretty much starting...

I'm wondering if anyone here is using the Onyx subscription model. Also open to possibly another software like Flexi, which also offers a subscription model. I'll be running a Epson solvent printer, a Mimaki UV roll-2-roll printer and one Graphtech cutter, possibly a Summa cutter but the Summa...

Looking for wholesaler that can help me with some small contour cut labels that have a raised spot UV finish.

Looking to try some other vinyls to offer for stickers but not sure what good brands are out there for these types of specialty vinyls. I use a holographic vinyl from Substance which I absolutely love but I'd like to offer some other specialty finishes. I am on solvent printing and I know that...

Customer asked for a couple of door decals (logo, phone number, etc.) However since I've never done this kind of work before and I want to do it as good as I can the first time. These will be exposed to the elements, at least one will be I know that. What are some decent (relatively lower cost)...

So I've been thinking about adding a UV printer so I can do spot gloss effects on stickers or short run label work I do. I have room for a 54" but it would make things rather cramped with it being next to my S40600. So I've been looking at the Mimaki UCJV300 series because I can get the 75...

Since I'm in a slow period right now I've been thinking about a website again. All of my business comes from a social media channel and word of mouth advertising. I feel like it's time to look into other avenues for helping keep sales a bit more steady. (no complaints as I've been very busy the...

Not sign related, but I don't have any peers to talk to about this. So a couple of months ago I had a customer reach out about doing a bunch of work through me. It was a great opportunity to have a bigger customer than I normally do and potentially open up other customer referrals for more work...
