  1. L25500 - stripes and printhead dies pretty fast

    We're going through the same thing. Answer would be great. Machine has been running for about 8 months. We're about to replace the 4th Cyan print head and have also replaced the magenta print head once. Called the people we got the printer from and they said the print heads aren't covered in...
  2. Printing pink Pantone 212 c for vehicle wrap dull colors

    Just to let others know of what I did. I didn't even use spot colors in onyx or illustrator. in photoshop i made the pantone 212, without using the new spot color channel method, and exported as a tiff. in onyx used hp air release cast. 10 pass under color management i changed the profile...
  3. Printing pink Pantone 212 c for vehicle wrap dull colors

    thank you for the information. I guess i'm going to have to make a judgement call on whether to print this wrap without an exact color match. that sucks... 3.4 is still rated as noticeable.
  4. Printing pink Pantone 212 c for vehicle wrap dull colors

    Thanks for the response. I have done 1-3 in my debugging. i have not used the media manager reports yet. i'm running them now. i'm assuming the higher the number the better? i research that. i'm starting to think its not possible to hit it. edit- ok the lower the better. im liking this tool...

    using 3m's 180 profile. tried 12 and 16 pass, with and without high ink levels. adobe1998 and images embedded profile. tiffs and pdfs. i just can't get that vibrancy in 212. i can get pretty close to the 213 cause it's got the more magenta, fuscia color in it. 212 comes out darker, dull. i have...

    Geez i see a thread about some guy complaining about his x-acto coming loose then this. Is this a joke or is it normal for this site. Any american flag jobs you all don't want, send them to me...
  9. Mimaki cg-160 cut is off. Pic on post. Thx.

    I figured it out. Something simple. Being my first mimaki I wasn't pressing the End button 2-3 times to take it into TP1 mode. So for anyone who reads this in the future. Load the material. I have mark detect on. once it doesn't find the mark automatically hit the end button 2-3 times (slowly)...

    Now when I was sending it with onyx cut server it was reading all 4 registration marks. When I send it with finecut it only reads 1. The one it automatically reads when the material is loaded. I will look into the adjustment. Thank you for your feedback.

    Not rude at all. I'm here for help. I'm lining the edge of the media to the plastic ridges. Looking at both the front and the back. While it's feeding it appears really straight. Thank you. I'm hoping to find an answer asap. I don't want to hand cut a decal tomorrow :Big Laugh
  13. Mimaki cg-160 cut is off. Pic on post. Thx.

    Alright I've setup finecut. I've printed in onyx. Have the mimaki cg 160 on mark detect 1mm. I load the sheet and it finds the mark automatically, after I trimmed it. Loading in rear leaf mode. Finds the mark. I hit Remote Open plot dialog in finecut. Hit detect registration, it does nothing...
  14. Mimaki cg-160 cut is off. Pic on post. Thx.

    yea i'll look more into finecut. Thanks for the feedback. I'm curious to see if there will be a noticeable change in color using finecut compared to onyx. For example I'm about to print out a wrap using onyx, but it has a contour cut decal on it as well. So sending the decal through finecut to...
  15. Mimaki cg-160 cut is off. Pic on post. Thx.

    Thanks Anthony. I will try that as well. I do currently have them on the lowest setting. I have cut this same piece several times and the cut is going pretty much to the same spot every time. So unsure if that is the reason, but i'm sure it will help for the future. Thanks!
  16. Mimaki cg-160 cut is off. Pic on post. Thx.

    I wouldn't think the type of registration marks would make a difference, but I'll try changing them. Thank you for the reply.
  17. Mimaki cg-160 cut is off. Pic on post. Thx.

    Hello, I've got a new setup than what I'm used to. I've used mutoh and roland printers, graphtec cutters, flexi, versacamm etc. We have just purchased a HP 260 and a Mimaki cg-160. Issue is with print and cut. I took an ink pen to some of the cuts so it may be easier to see them in the...
