Yes. The colors will change with ink density. I haven't messed around with resolution too much but I have changed the ink density by clicking the Q, Quality. And then at the top, I click the color adjust tab. The first option is Density, Whole. Although it depends on the profile I am using, I...

Is the printer laying down too much ink? I just bought a CJV150 and I'm having this same issue. I had a JV33 but I was using Wasatch. I'm not using RasterLink and I've had to dial back the density of the ink by quite a bit.

Might be a stupid question, but does your area have a Chamber of Commerce that you can join and get involved with? I've found these are great to join but you have to be active to get attention. Our local Chamber has social events that we are able to attend and network with other local...

The ink didn't hit the correct temperature to cure(320 degrees) or the white ink got too hot between flashing and didn't allow the blue to stick to the white. The quality of the "good" print is not good at all. The white isn't covering the black shirt. The colors aren't lined up. Sorry to see...

I use water to laminate. Spray water on the laminate and then roll it over the vinyl and push out all the water.

I just purchased this machine less than a month ago and I'm at a standstill. I started the machine up this morning and loaded material. The machine completely paused up and then did some kind of reset. Now I'm having multiple issues. I'm getting Error50c width when I tell it that I'm using 3 of...

That's scary. Thanks for sharing!

It works great. I use it for 3mil and 6mil MaxMetal all the time. I replace the dye about every 5 years.

This is what I use.

I heard back from Grimco after giving them this same information. They came back to me, after speaking to their Mimaki Rep, and recommended the JV100-160. I would rather not have a 64" printer because I won't utilize the extra printing space and I would have to make room in my office as I...

I would suggest using Oracal 3164HT.

Hello all. I am looking for some suggestions on new equipment. I have been running my Mimaki JV33-130 for the last 11 years. I know this is getting old and I don't want to have a major breakdown and then not be able to get parts. I previously ran a Mimaki JV3 for 8 year prior to this current...

Not sure what others do but I've always cut it back. Vinyl doesn't stick to the sealant and I can see how it would fail over time and could cause bigger issues.

I've bought poster art from Etsy.

It is rigid like cardstock.
