Thank you! For some reason initially it just popped up with the 175. Appreciate the link!

Totally agree. I ordered a pair of clear liters, and only one showed up so they sent a replacement a week or two later. Later. The first bottle had probably over a year of usable time, where the second bottle only had 3 months on the listed expiration date. Good to know that you've had good...

I suppose it was just a 'yes or no' question Interesting thought with a different brand ink. I've not heard of that brand before, not sure what the general consensus is on using aftermarket inks? It's nice that it's a lower cost as well! Generally, I'd be worried about quality, but if I'm...

Update here from Mimaki! They're evidently acknowledging this issue now and provided some documentation on some possible solutions. From the mimaki contact: "Turns out you are not the only one with this issue. You may have just been one of the first people with this issue. I just received...

New update- tech came in and we're still doing some troubleshooting. He took some of the samples to check with his team, and may also be sending to mimaki. A few things that we had adjusted: UV AdjVal- 25% (formerly zero) Changing cyan level 280% as opposed to 100% Still having some issues...

Thank you! I haven't tried adjusting settings on the printer, just in raster link so far, but good Ideas. I'll share these with the tech too and see what he says!

Hi There! Any luck with the issue? I have a tech coming out tomorrow. My problem is, it seems to be outgassing or something and anything clear has an ugly texture where anything sits on it, mostly if I lay them flat.

And I plan to stay with CM4 as long as possible, but when Adobe discontinues AI22, then CM4 won't be supported. Thanks!

Have you had any luck in figuring this out? It's driving me nuts having to close down CM5 every time I need to go back to Illustrator. In CM4 they had a mini dialog box that only needed to open once, then a secondary window when cutting. Just seems to add in extra time when I have to close CM5...

Hi everyone - So I recently purchased a UCJV 300-160, and it seems to be a nice machine, but I'm doing a few things that are out of the ordinary. I've been printing vehicle decals, (not full rap type things, more specific area decals for Jeeps, etc.) Especially focusing on gloss on matte black...

That's a good point. Laminating any print has been a concern of mine for any of the vehicle decals I would do (gloss accent or otherwise). I definitely don't want to sell anything that in a year or so people start coming back with problems.

That video is a big help, thank you! That's good to know about the durability tests there as well.

Sure- you can see it a little bit down on their "black on black" section https://adventurelifedecals.com/ And I definitely don't want to come off as if I'm trying to steal anything from them at anything like that. I just want to stay competitive in the market with my existing designs.

Thank you! I've been doing it this way for 3 years, and just saw someone who basically is doing the same thing and the gloss is definitely printed. (There was a closeup video of the printer working). I'm pretty sure they won't want to share their secrets with me

Thank you for the tips... That's what I'm worried about. I'll add new house with bigger basement to the shopping list ;) And is the "lesser machine" like $15k ish, and the more expensive upwards of $30k? Just trying to wrap my head around things.
