  1. Dead, dead, dead......dead.

    Racist Mosh has got some 'undocumented' race issues. Why hasn't anyone reported this tool to the admins?
  2. Adhesive faced vinyl

    PSA Layering What kind of PSA would work? I've never done this before, I'm just checking to see if offering a service like this would be worthwhile.
  3. Adhesive faced vinyl

    There are a few companies (which I will not name) that make adhesive faced decals on vinyl. Can this be done on an eco-solvent printer? Would I need a laminator to make something like this? I cannot find a supplier of this kind of material and it's driving me crazy.
  4. VersaWorks Static Cling Profile

    Static Cling Printing Hi there: I plan on adding static window clings to our product line and need feedback on Solvex Static Cling vinyl. Have you had any luck print double sided graphics with this and will the printed side stick to the interior of a window? I am not having much luck with...
  5. How did you get into the signs business?

    How and why I do it. I was a typical production artist for 10 years. Two years ago I was hired as a production artist and large format operator for a commercial printer. I've never touched a large format printer but I was up to the task. We used a beat-up mimaki JV3 160-S. It was a piece of...
  6. Shop tables

    I'm making a 5'x8' working area by placing 2 30"x96" Phillocraft tables side by side. The only obstacle I'm running into is the "tabletop". Anyone know where I can buy a 5'x10' piece of plate glass? I know I can get a cutting mat this size but I'm just keeping my options open if this is available.
  7. Adhesive Paper Stickers

    Agreed I am quite sure it is. I'm just seeing if the option was available… you never know if a client is picky in that regard.
  8. Adhesive Paper Stickers

    I'd like to start printing paper stickers on our VP540. Is this possible on a solvent printer because I like doing everything in-house. If this can be done, what's the best media for the job? My searches are not really getting me anywhere. Thanks folks.
  9. Mimaki JV3 refurbished print head?

    Refurb print JV3 heads You made a terrible mistake. I bought 2 refurbed JV3 print heads for $500 each and it caused more problems with our printer. I ended up paying full price from my vendor for 2 brand new ones. You should return them and just bite the bullet buy getting new high quality...
  10. Solvent media pricing in So Cal?

  11. Mutoh ValueJet 1608...WOW!

    Nevermind… Ok, I just met with a vendor (which shall remain nameless) who brought samples from a Mutoh 1608 and I wasn't impressed. The color quality was NOT THERE. I guess it would be best just to get a 1614 then print and mount to substrate. Mutoh dropped the ball by only making the 1608...
  12. Mutoh ValueJet 1608...WOW!

    Cool. I am still fairly new to large format printing. I've used a mimaki JV3-160s for 2 agonizing years and my company is FINALLY in a position to purchase a BRAND NEW printer for me so I am keeping my options open to just about anything. I've seen Mutoh 1614 ValueJets in action and was very...
  13. Mutoh ValueJet 1608...WOW!

    Well if this machine can easily print on magnetic blanks that would be awesome, but I am just curious about it's capabilities to safely print directly on any kind of magnet (roll or otherwise).
  14. Mutoh ValueJet 1608...WOW!

    Will this printer print directly to a magnetic roll? I'm not really crazy about printing to vinyl then mounting to the magnet, so if anyone can give me some input, this would really help in my decision to get this machine.
  15. Yellow Ink won't fire!

    Hi there all. Here's the crisis..... I performed a nozzle wash on my JV3-160 on monday and after a few hard cleanings, I did a test draw and the yellow head printed green… obviously a cross-contamination with the Cyan head. I used a syringe to sucked out the contaminated ink and now the...
