  1. Die cut stickers one or two passes?

    not for die cutting, but for thick materials or laminated items kiss cuts, i do prefer 2 passes than just 1. it seems to do less damage to my blade by maintaining the same pressure and points of contacts. not to mention more consistent cuts. in theory, i'd do the same for die cutting, but it...
  2. [Mimaki UCJV-300 160] Patchy Print

    that is probably caused by the deformation of your media due to changes in the environment. do you notice that small tunnels are forming, such that some parts are higher and some parts are lower? the parts that are higher are probably the ones that show the patchy prints. as a solution, you...
  3. [Mimaki UCJV-300 160] Patchy Print

    are you talking about the vertical discolorations?
  4. Need Help MIMAKI UCJV300-160 background color waves

    if that was me, i'd double check on the feed calibration, head height [low to mid], and see if an air purge improves it. but yes, for a UCJV300-160 on cmyk lc lm + w, the normal production speed should be around 16-20pass. btw, are you sure you have a UCJV300-160? that's my machine too, but my...
  5. Summa S2T 140 consistently poor print/cut

    sorry about not reporting back about this particular issue of mine. anyways, a technical expert of summa [someone who is probably part of the actual development] dropped by to take a look at my unit. he pretty much slowed it down, and was able to get acceptable results [not perfect] given the...
  6. Need Help RGB to CMYK in Rasterlink

    i have a UCJV300-160, using rasterlink and had my machine supplier produce a custom profile for my media. like what you've mentioned, in order to print decent colors, (1) my files needed to be in cmyk, and (2) had to use the default color matching options. if it was set to anything else, the...
  7. which is cheaper to run? UCJV300 or HP Latex 3xx

    i do have both. hp L310 and UCJV300-160. the short answer to your question is that they pretty much are the same in terms of cost to operate and maintain. for the long answer: (1)ink-wise, mimaki is cheaper to purchase. but you have to remember that it is regularly spitting out ink so that...
  8. Best cutting ruler? NOT ALUMINUM!

    hi mike! just came across this post. did you buy it off that exact link? i'm planning on buying the 8ft one, and am worried about alibaba scammers. hehe. thanks! kelly
  9. Need Help pull up tabs

    i actually came across this problem when i got an inquiry for soap "pull to open" tags. and i saw it online. being sold on a per sheet basis. https://shopee.ph/Pull-To-Open-Tab-Sticker-i.16154114.697217317 since all the other parts of the strip has adhesive. i'm guessing that they are scored at...
  10. Need Help pull up tabs

    hi all! does anybody know how to do the "pull up tab" feature? it's basically just a small part that doesn't have adhesive, while the rest of the decal has adhesive. i've been doing this for 10 years, and i'm stumped. i'm using a Summa S2T and mimaki uv roll to roll printer. any help would be...
  11. What would you REALLY do if you had symptoms of Coronavirus?

    the previous "2%" death rate data is not reliable anymore. depending on how well the health care system is coping, the actual death rate might be anywhere from 2%-10%. not to mention the fact that i wouldn't bet my life on data released by china. they are notoriously dishonest when it comes to...
  12. What are you doing with your 25500/26000s?

    my thoughts exactly. i have an L310. if they continue with their current trend, i'm expecting them to end support for the Latex 300 series in 3-4 years. for the life of me, i cannot imagine why you would stop selling inks and parts where you are earning the most money, and in the process lose...
  13. How long can you soak a print head????

    personally, i don't think you need to soak it. just draw some ink every 3 days or so to keep the inks flowing. the solution might be doing more harm than good. kelly
  14. Question Cutting problems with blade length S CLASS Tangential

    Summa S Tangential Series doesn't have blade holders that can be swapped as easily as drag knives. you literally have to screw it in every single time. that was one of my biggest complaints coming from a roland print/cut. well, probably my only complaint. :P kelly
