  1. Need Help UV printer how long can it sit

    You have a very good point. Unless you can test it, you taking a risk. How do you know for sure it was printing "Perfectly"?
  2. Need Help UV printer how long can it sit

    We have the same machine, if UV light hasn't gotten to the heads, I doubt there will be a problem. There is a method to let the heads soak in the "Mimaki washing liquid" if there is a problem. I wouldn't worry if there is ink still in the lines as UV can't get to it. If they we're using white...
  3. Discussion Looking to buy a flatbed uv printer

    We have had the Mimaki JFX 200 2513 for I believe almost 5 years. It's a very good machine for the price. Print quality is very good even at it's fastest and lowest resolution. Service is going to depend on who is in your area. We have no problem with that. If you'd like you can call me, just...
  4. Need Help 2 sided printing

    Hi all, I am looking to purchase an HP 365 with the expectations of being able to do some 2 sided printing. At the moment we are doing it on our Mimaki flatbed which is working fine but it ties that machine up. I'd like to be able to run 50' to maybe 100' of vinyl blockout at a time and then...

  6. Installing 4 x 8 outdoor sign

    I do like this. What kind of decorative molding are we talking about? Like an L shape? And the tubing, were they attached 1 by 1 to the wall or were they secured together? Thanks
  7. Installing 4 x 8 outdoor sign

    This is our first large outdoor sign. I want to make it look decent without spending too much, make it last and try to make it look professional. I'm thinking some kind of frame to get it away from the wall. I'm very new to this.
  8. Installing 4 x 8 outdoor sign

    Looking for the proper way to install a 4' x 8' sign. It will be mounted to a cinder block wall. Using 1/8" Dibond or a similar aluminum composite substrate, is 1/8 thick enough? I'm concerned about expansion and contraction here in Pennsylvania. Also wind loading. Will normal standoffs around...
  9. Fingerprints showing up on Foamcore.....

    My guy called me at home about this problem. He said he tried denatured alcohol, no change. He did not try IPA.
  10. Fingerprints showing up on Foamcore.....

    Hi all, Ran into is problem today. We are running a Mimaki flatbed UV printer. We are finding marks showing up in the image that are clearly from hands, not our hands. The sheets are coming straight out of sealed boxes. We have tried 2 different brands and they both have it. The image image has...
  11. Problems in RasterLink 6 with PDF's

    I was wondering if anyone else was having problems in RasterLink where certain customer supplied PDF's had artifacts appear in the printed piece? They are typically squares with lines going through them. They will not show up on the screen with any program nor will they cause a problem with any...
  12. Printing on flat corrugated boxes

    Just got back trying to get this to work. I traced out an outline of the flat box on a large sheet of paper and cut it out on the inside of the line. Then I masked off everything else. It ended up sucking down to the bed better than I ever thought it would. When I go to run the job I'll print...
  13. Printing on flat corrugated boxes

    Hello, I am looking for any advice on printing on a die cut flat box on our flatbed. It will have bleed so taping down is not a good option. Any thoughts on how to get it to lay flat? If i could find some larger sheets of some kind of mounting film with a temporary adhesive on 1 side that may...

    We are using a Mimaki UV flatbed printer.
  15. Good media for retractable banners

    My understand was that a lot of normal materials will curl after using the banner a few times. Maybe this is not the case? I do want to avoid that though.
  16. Good media for retractable banners

    Got a price on the Bantex, very pricey. Called Ultraflex on the Ultrasmooth, they do have a super smooth pet blockout 13 oz, maybe that what we are referring to? Have a sample roll coming my way. Grimco has a product called rollup. They told me it's perfect for what I am trying to do. Have a...
  17. Good media for retractable banners

    Hello, I was wondering if there were any preferred media to use for retractable banners. Vinyl would work but is there anything to look for or avoid? They will be indoor and printed on a flatbed UV printer. So many samples to choose from. A smooth finish would be nice in my opinion. Thank...
