  1. Jv33 not switching over to new cartridges.

    This has been carrying on for the last few months. It started with cyan. Print head is working fine, all nozzles there and straight. Suddenly halfway through print, cyan completely drops out. I called Tech support and they had me switching cartridges etc until it comes good again, hard to...
  2. Mimaki CJV30-130 lamination and cutting

    Do you mean it won't go back that far to check? I've had this issue before with my cutter. Just stretch your cutfile lengthways (the whole cutfile not just the reg marks) give it an extra 100mm or so and it should then go all the way and pick them up. It will still cut the file correctly as the...

  7. Mimaki 3042 vs Direct Color 1024

    I bought an ex demo 3042 a couple of months ago and love it. Like tommysuriady said the colours are beautiful. I also looked at the 1024 and the quality seemed as good but my decision was made based upon previous experience with Mimaki (I also have a JV33 printer and CG160fxII cutter) all of my...

    I bought a cornerpro a few years ago and it has been fantastic. Very well made and easy slip in tooling. http://www.signgeer.com/aqshop/catalogue.php?id=1051 cost a bit to get it here though
  9. XTR-1313 Flatbed UV Looking at buying one, need some opinions

    Just an update on this, I've chosen a neoflex UV, just waiting for it to become available to Australia, It's a bit smaller bed size than I originally wanted but I'm happy to sacrifice that for better quality
  10. Orajet 3651 transparent as an overlaminate???

    Don't do it, I tried this once when i ran out of lam. within a year it had pulled back in to about 95% of the print size and left a nice brown strip of adhesive all the way around the job.
  11. How to tell a customer i am not charging them for a job

    Thanks everyone, yes i think i'll just tell him "no charge" and not elaborate.
  12. How to tell a customer i am not charging them for a job

    I have a customer that came to me through the week (he was a very broken hearted looking guy in every way. 30ish) and asked me to print and apply a photo of his son to a battered old milk can that he had powdercoated for his wife for her birthday. He didn't elaborate but told me his son had...
  13. XTR-1313 Flatbed UV Looking at buying one, need some opinions

    That's about the same price quoted by xtr, the guy said he cant tell me who the manufacturer of the ink is, but they are manufactured in the US.
  14. XTR-1313 Flatbed UV Looking at buying one, need some opinions

    More choices, i'll be fluent in chinese by the time i decide on one. I'm still really leaning towards the 1300 x 1300mm size at the moment but the inwear one looks to have better components like the LED UV lamps and the Konica heads as opposed to the seiko ones which i think i read somewhere the...
  15. XTR-1313 Flatbed UV Looking at buying one, need some opinions

    I haven't heard back from the people at inwear yet. Though i have asked for a quote on it being modified to accept 100mm materials.
  16. XTR-1313 Flatbed UV Looking at buying one, need some opinions

    Thanks for that, I knew you'd have some contacts. I just sent them a message, not sure if the chassis can be modified to accept 100mm materials but i asked anyway. Hope to hear back from them soon. What did you get from them (if you don't mind me asking)
  17. XTR-1313 Flatbed UV Looking at buying one, need some opinions

    It's mainly for the white ink option that i'd like to go with uv inks. Just the usual stuff though like coro, sign metals etc. The main job though is for abs plastic control boxes, that's already lined up. I also have a laser that i'd like to use in conjunction with it. I have kind of avoided...
  18. XTR-1313 Flatbed UV Looking at buying one, need some opinions

    OK I know it's a chinese company that makes them but so are 50% of all of them in the market, just rebranded with western names. I won't post a link to the site (because i'm not sure if it breaks forum rules) but i'm interested in buying a UV flatbed at about this size (1300 x 1300mm 100mm...
  19. Recommended paper for solvent printer?

    I use polypropylene, i love it because it prints beautifully, and my customers love it because they dont have to laminate it afterwards. I sell a lot for trade shows etc. where they are constantly taking them down and putting them up again. can get wet etc. and doesn't damage the print or the...
