We have a JFX200 with CMYK+W+C. I'd definitely recommend the white. The clear on the other hand is really not necessary. We can do some neat effects with gloss finishes and 3D texturing, but nobody will every request it... you've got to sell it. For general sign production, you won't miss having...

Hello! What is everyone's preferred cut line pattern for pop out stickers? I'm not crazy about our cut quality. We're running an FC8600-160 with these settings: CUT LINE PATTERN: CUT .752" UP .016" UP MODE: 2 TOOL POSITION: 3 (over the channel)

We've been happy with Sihl 3515 PolySOL™ Roll-up

Take that wholesale price x 1.6666.... that should match their retail number...

Sounds like you have an over-saturation issue. Regardless if you have let the ink properly outgas and dry prior to lamination, there is simply too much solvent based ink in the vinyl. Keep in mind solvents bite into the surface of the vinyl as opposed to latex or UV curable inks which sit on...

Hello, Does anyone have experience using the scan distance correction under the "quality" tab in Rasterlink 6? We have a JFX200 that doesn't quite print to full scale in the scan direction, but is dead on in the feed direction. For an example: a 48"x96" file prints at 48"x95.8". It's...

Hey folks... Any brilliant ideas for displaying sponsorship panels (4'x4') on a brick wall in a school gymnasium? The requirements being relatively cost effective (this is middle school) and easy to change sponsors year after year without having to drill the brick more than necessary. My...

We've struggled with the same thing. Jack up the vacuum pressure. Default is probably 35.... bring it up to 75 or more. We'll put a couple clamps on the leading edge of the paper until it gets down to the take up reel... then baby sit it until we can slide the weight bar in. After the weight bar...

Has anybody noticed prints off their 300 series latex printers don't look as saturated on LX480 as they do on other films? What ink limits and temperature settings are you guys finding produces the best results? I did notice there are two pre-loaded profiles on our 360.... LX480cV3 and 480cV3.

Any tips for cleaning water spots from matte black vinyl?? Our client's car got rained on once and his racing stripes are covered in water spots. I tried 90% isopropyl alcohol with no success. I also contacted 3M for advice and got a nice generic PDF back. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Every time I've ordered ink for our JFX the expiration date has been pretty far out (over six months). I think the issue you're hearing about isn't necessarily the short expiration date of the ink, but its my understanding that USA dealers only get shipments of ink in from Japan every few...

The "by the book" method might recommend doing a nozzle wash... have you tried that? It only does it for 60 seconds, but might be worth a shot (fill up capping stations with cleaning fluid and head just sits there) The "not by the book" method we had done was soaking a lint free cloth in...

We've had our JFX200 since December of 2014. We did have some trouble initially, including one head replacement under warranty. Since then, we've been good. We're missing one single clear nozzle... CMYKW are all there and good. We have certainly had a few issues along the way with clogged...

We've got the JFX200 and are running the LUS-150 ink set. We have no initial adhesion issues with the cheap corrugated plastic. Were generally seeing about a year of durability on corrugated plastic.... a couple months less than that if its south facing. We clean each sheet with 90% isopropyl...

I'll check it out! Thanks!

Looking for some feedback on how others tackle wrapping the embossed text on new Ford SuperDuty and Toyota Tacoma tailgates. Seems like it could be a challenge!

Thanks for sharing, the VersaCamm has been sold though.

I've been very pleased so far. I had a harder time getting the plotter dialed in than anything, but I'm very happy with our current set up now. Leland
