  5. Mimaki JV3 SPII-130 Sensor Question

    Recently we had a media sensor go out on our Mimaki (Error 50 Media Sense). I talked with our printer supplier on Friday and had a new sensor shipped which came in today. Well, it was the wrong part. The sensor is too big to fit into its cradle (see attached image). It's funny because after...
  6. Graphtec FC7000 Perf Cuts

    Our rep who sold us our plotter and printer came in to our shop today. He mentioned that we could do Perf Cuts on our FC7000 130... so I've been on a quest to figure this out.

  9. Wireless pen? What?

    Do they make a wireless Wacom pen/stylus that does not require a tablet? We're doing a big job for a casino that requires duplicating lots of channel letters. They could only provide us with hard copies of the patterns, but they're about to fall apart because they weren't taken care of...
  10. Mimaki Is Banding, Bad Test Cleans

    I came in today, did my normal cleaning on the Mimaki, started a print, and it came out looking like pure hell. The print was missing a lot of color and there was some serious banding. I've done 3 strong cleanings, made sure the heads (the little metal things with holes that sit in the little...
  11. If out of ink, can you bypass it?

    So we're working on a job that uses only Black ink on our JV3-130. Well, I don't know how this happened, but somebody forgot to order more ink for our printer. Our printer says it ran out of Yellow during this print job that is all Black. Is there any way to bypass the Yellow so I don't lose 3...
  12. Printing Double-Sided Banner on JV3-130SPII... Aneurysm Ensues

    This is about to give me a headache that will make medical journals... So we landed a nice $$$ job and we have 170 double-sided banners to print on our Mimaki. Well, we ain't never done no double-sided banners before, and this kinda sorta just got thrown into my lap. I can't get the dang thing...
  13. Can't identify a font... driving us up the wall.

    We can't figure out what this font is: It's not Handel, we know that. Any help would be super obliged.
  14. Graphtec FC7000-130... Cuts Look Horrible

    So today I get into the shop and I cut some typical text out of vinyl. The cuts that I'm getting look reeeally bad. In Illustrator and Cutting Master, everything looks crisp and clean. But after the plotter does its thing, the results look "wobbly"... like someone took the Simply filter on clean...
  15. Simple stupid question.

    I wasn't working here when we bought our Mimaki, and I'm kind of on my own around here today and need a question answered... How does one do a strong cleaning on a Mimaki JV3-130SPII?

  17. Color Management For Idiots

    Hi all, I'm hoping this is the right thread for this. If not, sorry about that. So here at the sign shop, we're having lots of problems with color matching. I've looked through some of the previous threads on the subject, but I guess it's not sinking in or I'm missing something. Right...
  18. What the font?

    I've seen this font before, but I can't think of the name for the life of me. Any help?
  19. Graphtec FC7000-130 / Corel X3

    Hey guys, We recently obtained Corel X3 and I'm trying to get our Graphtec FC7000-130 setup to where we can die-cut with it. In a nutshell: t'aint workin'. I've downloaded new drivers from Graphtec (located at http://www.graphtecusa.com/products.php?visit=img&cat_id=1&series_id=33&view=D)...
  20. Mimaki not centering prints

    I apologize in advance if this is a Software thread. We have a Mimaki JV3130SPII that's not wanting to print images in the center of our material. Prime example: We get quite a few 3' tall banners in the shop, so we buy 38' rolls of scrim. In Onyx Postershop, all settings are set to where...
