I searched the forum and nothing useful showed up. Since I've upgraded to a newer version of AI, the cut paths I'm sending to my summa winplot software are showing up as expanded object (an inner and outer path) for each line. Paths are always set to center line, so that hasn't defaulted to...

Has anybody ever run into a situation where you printer no longer recognized 3rd party chips? I normally use Rite Media ProColour Inks and it recognizes the chips in those no problem, but my LcLm carts just timed out and the new carts I bought (Not Rite Media) weren't recognized. So they sent me...

WTF is no help. Casual Crew Bold is similar, but different. Is anybody able to identify this one for me? It might be width condensed which is making it difficult to find a match.

Has anybody tried the aftermarket capping stations for a JV33 (or similar) like the ving parts? Any issues with them? They seem to be a very nicely priced alternative to the mimaki version.

So it would appear that my main board is toasted. Has anybody replaced one on their own? Mimaki (or my dealer's service department) is telling me that the settings cannot be updated through the front panel and will require a tech to update the settings from their backup after the board is...

Does anybody have any idea what red leds mean on a jv33 main pcb? I have not been able to make a USB connection with my rip and have managed to figure out it may be my main board that may have been cooked when the power went out here. I have leds 1, 2 and 3 by the USB chip that are lit red and...

Has anybody ever seen this before? The white portions are darkening as it ages. Sign is a about 7 years old, the colors are still good, but the underlying vinyl has gone dark. Sign was printed on 3M 180CV2 and laminated with the matching cast gloss lam and then mounted to an alumabond sheet..

Hoping somebody can help me out here. I'm looking for somebody who can produce the same type of decal as the typical warning label decals that come on the back fenders of most bikes. You know those thin little bastards that really don't want to come off no matter how hard you try and leave...

I know I've used it in the past, but I can't seem to find it in my collection today. WTF is no help either. Any help is appreciated, cheers!

I have a GBC 1064WFC laminator and for some reason it's blowing the main fuze in the plug socket all the time. It had stayed on for quite some time as I guess I forgot to shut it off for awhile and it sat there powered up for a few weeks. Does anybody have any experience fixing these...

Long story, but here's the problem. Moving company bailed, new company came through to help with the physical move, but the schedule has advanced and I will no longer have a tech here to help with the move. What do I need to do to safely move a JV33 across town? I know I'll need to park the...

Anybody seen this one before?

Hahnemuhle torchon with eco solvent inks? Just wondering if there was any issue of the solvents eating away the paper.

The last little bit of a roll I just finished left a pretty cloudy appearance when I applied it to a solid black sign face. This isn't silvering which I'm familiar with, but instead it's like the actual laminate has a cloudy appearance, which was only on the very end of the roll. Has...

I have a client who wants to put floor graphics onto a tiled and grouted floor. My first sample supplied to them was on a cast air release (they want to install it themselves and I figured it would be easier to work with) with a cast 1.5 mil laminate that was approved for slip resistance...

I have a client who is using cut vinyl decals for their heavy equipment ID's and branding and we're having the problem of the vinyl not wanting to release from the transfer tape (medium tack). It's not the transfer tape being too aggressive, but the vinyl isn't wanting to stick to the surface...

I should know this one, but all the serif fonts start to look alike to me after awhile.

I need a cast vinyl over lam with an astm slip rating for some floor graphics that are going onto a tiled and grouted floor. Does anybody make such an animal? Typical install length will be for 3-6 months so it needs to be durable enough to stand up to a floor polisher/waxer.

I've read that the new latex printers make double sided printing and registration fairly easy but have no experience with these machines. Could somebody explain the process of doing a double sided print on an HP latex printer for me? I'm interested in these machines, but do a fair amount of...

Used or new. Preferably out of Canada, but willing to look elsewhere. My local dealer is quoting me $5500 over MSRP, so it looks like my local dealer won't be getting my business. What have you guys picked up a new one for recently? I can't imagine they're trying to get top dollar since...
