  1. TDLR licenses

    Got a call back, in case anyone else has the same question- essentially it counts since manufacturing does not require a license, but as long as the Master validates that the manufacturing/fabrication work is electrical related. Master would have to write a letter attached to the form when...
  2. CJV150-75 dried print head

    I went on a 10 day vacation just to come back to my print head completely dried- I have the auto clean set on every 4 hours while I was away. I been doing head soaks and i am starting to get magenta, black, cyan back, I have CYMK LK OR SI W- white, silver orange works perfectly, black needs...
  3. Mimaki SS21 metallic ink

    I also have the ss21 "silver" its a terrible color and the results suck. I tried everything to get the metallic look but it always just looks like battleship grey or a very dark and dull (insert metallic color that isnt gray scale). The reflectivity is a joke and it looks like some muddy...
  4. TDLR licenses

    Just sent them an email, fingers crossed that the hours could count. I'd prefer to have my own MSE license since my current MSE went thru heart surgery and I am worry that we may lose him.
  5. TDLR licenses

    I emailed them and haven't recieved a response yet. Hopefully it does count or I will be out over 6000 hours.
  6. TDLR licenses

    Hello everyone, I have a question that may be stupid or might be something only TDLR knows. I've been working under a TDLR Master sign electrician for the last 2 and a half years, I employ him since my company needs a master to qualify as an electrical sign contractor. I need to get licensed as...
  7. Another Mimaki color thread, cjv150 CYMKOrLkSiWh

    So- I tried the 2 color matching setup and found something interesting, with color matching off, the light colors are bang on, but the red is red orange, and the darker shades of colors are essentially all nearly black with a 2-5% difference between each one. Color matching off looks the best...
  8. Need Help Opinion on purchasing a Mimaki CJV150-75 with expired cartridges

    I do have an light cyan that expires in 2023, and a light magenta that expires in a few days, but I dont use those, came with my cjv150-75. You can try to do a head soak for 24-48 hours and see if it works. my white line looks clogged since the diaphragm is empty and nothing comes out of white...
  9. How do you guys keep track of orders/jobs currently in your shop?

    I've been trying different things, but its not been working well since we are a multilingual shop with minimal overlapping. We tried work orders that are passed along throughout the production process, "micromanaging," verbal, folders- nothing is quite working out for us. We are having some...

    Hi CJ, I have not done this process. From what I've heard it's a length and rocky procedure. I asked our tech about it and he basically told me if I want to try, get the solvent to flush out the lines and head, then proceed to replace the lines and flush again and then fill with the clear. You...
  11. SS21 Metallic prints

    Hi everyone, I got a cjv-150-75 for special color printing. I have it set up with cymkolksw I printed out the color pallet metallic chart and the colors look really dull, I also made some test squares with 100% silver plate at the bottom, 2 layer printing 24 pass, and tested again with 12 pass...
  12. Ucjv300-160 registration mark size

    I am currently using .6 and .03 line width, and seems to be having good results after messing with different sizes for a while. How do I up the sensor sensitivity? I currently don't use finecut, although I can have it installed.
  13. Is it just me?

    I never ignore my customer that has a project in progress. I save their numbers and set up reminders to give a quick weekly or bi weekly update depending on the size of the project. I always immediately communicate any delays or production issues inviting them to my shop to show them what the...
  14. Is it just me?

    #2 is critical. If you called me when I'm driving out to a site, and I ask you to email me and you don't, I'll forget by the time I'm done with what I need to do that day.
