  1. Roll to Roll UV Printer Purchase

    We looked at the JV330 but with the only option for ink being 2 Liter "bags" we decided to go with the JV100 so far we are very happy with it. Also the wipers on the 330 are completely different than the past & when I went to look at the 330 I was told Mimaki was back ordered on wipers, I guess...

  4. Roll to Roll UV Printer Purchase

    Check out the Mimaki UJV 100 - 160 if you have room, I had a jv300 for 9 years and we recently replaced it with a 100, I looked at the 330 but I wasn't sure we would go through 2 liters of inkbefore they would expire. The 100 isn't as fast but the colors seem much smoother, we are running...
  5. Question XPJ 661 switch from hard to soft inks

    I purchased the 661 thinking we would be doing a lot of ADA Signage but that hasn't been the case so I'm 99% sure I want to switch to soft inks. Has anyone done this, or have started with soft inks? Do you regret running soft inks? Have you experienced any issues?

  12. Laser Head Accumulates Soot During Engraving

    The majority of our engraving is on LaserMax on our 100watt Thunder Laser. Air on LaserMax kills us, we use a 4" lens & turn the air COMPLETELY off when engraving on (about 8-12 psi) when cutting. We clean our lens often but we have been using the same lens for 3 years doing it this way. When...
  13. Suggestions LED Rope lighting

    I'm in the process of creating an indoor LED backlit (outer glow) laser cut acrylic sign. Typically I would just use a ribbon type LED strip on a job like this, but this job is a little different, and I'd like to use an LED rope. I need to basically outline the antlers of a deer so I'd like to...

    I've been using Signlab / FlexiSign for almost 30 years, but I'd like to start to learn Adobe Illustrator. I'm planning on purchasing the full Adobe cloud suite. While doing research I've found a lot of specialized tutorials but I'd like to find some basic tutorials showing basic functions...
