Hi team,
Wondering if anyone else has had the fight of the century featuring a latex printer and printing onto Optical Clear material.
We are having this ongoing battle every time we use the material.
The material is sticking in the loading chamber causing the print zone to get all types of...
OK... So, I have been using DesignArt PRO software daily for more than 20 years. Before you hate. I find myself married to it, for this is where all my past designs were created. It was the software used when I took this job in 1999 and already housed thousands of designs. The software company...
I was trying to print out a past job and noticed that my blues were not clost to what I had before. I figured out that it was because an entire nozzle isnt working for cyan on print head 2.
Any idea how this can be fixed without replacing the nozzle. Ive done a manual cleaning and several head...
I feel like after digging through so many posts involving Gerber plts I don't have many options at this point. I work in a small sign shop of just myself. We used Gerber Omega 4.0 for a long time but as I came in they switched to Flexi. I've been fine with it for the longest time. Over time...
I have a Mistral 1650, 55'' Laminator. When I try to run vinyl through the machine it won't feed the material. It pulls in the vinyl a little and then shoots it back out and does not move forward.
It makes a large clacking sound when trying to feed.
Hello all,
It's unfortunate news to hear one of your vendors is closing its doors but it happens. We have been using JRS for years and have had a great experience and have clients who have certain products that we only receive from them. I'm curious if anyone has any other recommendations as to...

Im using a Mimaki cjv30 and im looking to print directly on some magnetic material for some fridge magnets. This seems to be quote a common material that's used in the print world but ive purchased some material from eBay and they have emailed after the sale stating they are not held responsible...

First post, hope it's posted in the right spot.
My sg2-300 is just over 3 years old. I've kept it clean and kept up with general maintenance.
It recently started printing horizontal lines over my prints, and over test/nozzle prints as well.
I have power cleaned, manual, checked everything that...
Just assembled our new Gfp 350 TH. Super excited to start using it but currently stuck on a setup step. This could totally be a bonehead user error thing, many of these GFP components are new to me but I'm currently stumped. The groove doesn't line up with the opening of the cradle that the...
We are located in Los Angeles and our supplier only has poly/cotton. Need a roll ASAP and a supplier on call, since we will be needed more in the future.
Thank you!
Hey guys! So recently I was doing some maintenance on my VP300I as one of the manifolds for the head were broken on the damper for yellow. Like a idiot, I disconnected the ribbon cables to the head while the machine was still "On" it was in sleep but it went right over my head to properly turn...
Hello,
Our shop has been having a lot of inconsistencies with our Mimaki CG-160fx. Some of the issues include, the blade will not lift up all the way and drags through the vinyl, sometimes the plotter doesn't cut the entire file or cuts too deep or too shallow. Also, we have encountered the...
