I never had heard of a Colex until this thread. Wow.

I have never once promised a customer a color match even after printing a swatch for review. Everyone sees color differently. On every invoice or estimate, I put the following disclaimer: We calibrate our printers on a regular basis, however, we can not guarantee an exact color match under any...

Has anyone had experience with a "professional" head cleaning service like https://www.globalgarage.com/pages/printhead-cleaning

The issue is that I'm located in the US Virgin Islands and, if I want a technician to come, I have to pay for his airfare, hotel, etc. so its quite expensive.

I've had this Mimaki JV33-130 for many years and last had a new print head installed by a technician in 2018. My print head definitely has issues. I've done several overnight soaks but it doesn't seem to improve. Should I attempt to manually flush the head using the syringe method or just bite...

That's the one I have also. Works great. I've had it for 15 years!

Wow...thanks for this! Great information. I can do this!

Thanks for your advise...what type of blade for a Skil Saw or Table Saw would you recommend?

Many thanks for this! I didn't realize it was so easy!

Weirdly, in all my years making signs, I've never used ACM. I've been thinking about buying a few years to play with. How do you cut this product down to size?
