Issue with the coating. Try wiping down with Isopropyl Alcohol before printing. Pain, but may fix if you just need a print out.

Arlon 6500 works great

Pretty sure auto cut being off wont fix it. The problem is the head comes back across the media when doing its final checks and thus will cause a head strike. When you have a bottom margin it will stop, eject the extra margin before the final check and head movement.

Turn on the bottom margin through the front panel. 10cm or so. It will then go through the final checks, the print is rolled back in, lift occurs, it will then eject out the 10cm or so which is enough to flatten it back down before the auto cut takes place. Let me know if that explanations...

How so? L26 has a much glossier black and they are essnetially using the same thermal heads

Apologies, forgot about white. Yes white is still available, no issues there. Except speed. I love Mimaki machinery they make excellent production machines, I hope the JV400 works out to be really good. but from what I have personally seen so far I am having my doubts. 4 Colour printing...

Robert is incorrect i'm afraid. LC and LM have been discontinued for the JV400. Thanks

I'm interested in this machine as well. Impressive white printing speeds if they are accurate/realistic. What makes you think no roll-to-roll? Mimaki have made some interesting developments in the last few months, excited to see what else they have waiting in the wings

Local price in oz is expected to be around 2.5...

Mimaki won't be charging anywhere near double the price of a HP latex. More like very comparable or a slight premium due to 2 more process channels and white. Will be interesting to see how the quality vs speed goes. Look forward to getting my hands on it

Static issue. Does you media make a sort of peeling sound as it comes off the roll? No real fix I know of as yet, unless you want to unwind and wipe with static removal gloves or similar. The wavy pattern is caused where I think the rollers are basically acting to discharge the static but only...

What's glorious about flexi? the price? Can't help you out with that :Oops:, I use Ergo Poster Print and Onyx when forced. In testing with Flexi I found that the profiles always tended to look very washed out.

What RIP? :clapping:

Probably using a ****ty canned profile. Latex works beautiful on solvent and inkjet coated Canvas.
