  2. Mimaki CJV30 60 doesn’t want to cut combined file , printing both layers :(

    I would delete both the Regi layer and CUT layer in Illustrator. And start over. I had this happen to me once when I manually duplicated the same layer without the plug in.

  7. Logo Use and Copyright information

  10. First major laminating run

    Thank you for your input.. I get it now..I think the problem is I do not have the extra accessory for the roll holder (what I just printed). So my first initial runs have not been very good.
