Has anyone ever used a CO2 laser on a ShopBot system? Thanks, MikeD

Does anyone have real life experience with Summa's Durachrome Metallic Foil outdoor durability? The Ribbon Color Guide states upto 2yr for the matte and "indoor only" for the metallic. I just did a print with Mirror Silver, and I can't scratch it at all; the vinyl tore up before the foil failed...

I do not currently wrap vehicles, but I've got access to large format printers and I'm thinking of wrapping my personal truck. I can't really afford 3grand to have a pro do it, and I think it would be a fun project on my own. I've seen a lot of detailed discussion on signs101, but I am still...

RASTER ERROR: UNEXPECTED END OF BAND [CONTINUE] Any idea what this means? It started today after printing several copies of a job we have printed many times in the past. At this point, we can not print. 3Color + 1 Spot (Mirror Silver.) Thanks for the advice!

Anyone know how to change the offset of a weed box in Wasatch? When I assign a weed box, it is too close to the graphic's cutpath. Thanks!

What do you all think of the JV400 SUV printer? I was not able to attend the show in Vegas, but I did have some really nice samples brought back to me. MikeD

In Wasatch, we can put values for ink and substrate into the cost estimator tool, and when we open a job, the Cost estimator tool tells us how much the job will cost. I have seen a spot to put foil costs in Summa Color Control (or maybe Summa Printer Control.) Is this the same type of cost...

I have a question about cancelling a job: how do you do it?! While printing some black foil on 3M’s IJ3555, I see that the density is too high. I don’t want to continue printing; I want to stop the printer and make adjustments to the Black density. However, “Pause” or “Cancel” don’t seem to...

Does anyone know how to get a 15" roll of specialty vinyl punched with Gerber's hole pattern? Thanks for the advice!

what's the best method of closing the gap between passes when printing a graphic that's larger than the height of the 10cm print head? Is 10cm the highest value for height that can be printed without the overlap issue? Thanks!

Black is migrating into both sections of yellow on the test print of one of the JV33 printers. When printing a yellow shape, there is a muddy line between passes. Media comp is good though. What would cause this? Should the cap top and black dampers be replaced? Would a pump tube...

Wasatch & Summa S-75 plotters. Anyone know how to send two types of cut parameters in 1 job via Wasatch to a Summa S-75? I want to include a kiss-cut and a 2nd perf-cut in the same job. When I first read about it, I tried it out and it worked...can't remember how I did it though. I still have...

FC2250 Issue # 1. “TOOL POSITION ALARM” error pops up after cutting. If we cycle the power it goes away, but comes back within 2 jobs. Issue # 2. When the job is sent, marks are read and cutting begins, the carriage moves over all cut paths, but the tool does not go down and cut the...

I have been having magenta ink droplets on the first few passes of each print. Directly after cleaning, the head looks perfect...a few minutes later drops a magenta start to form. I can see it happen when the head is moved away from the capping station to the far side of the platen with the...

JV33-130 test draw has some magenta in the cyan area. What does that indicate? Can someone please direct me to a thread about this? I am pretty sure this issue has been addressed here, but I have not been able to find it. Thanks, Mike

does anyone have experience doming large prints: The large side logos are about 112” x 16.5”. The back logo is 55” x 8”. The front logo is 28” x 4”. I'm not set up for parts that large, but I am trying to help source a shop to do this for another sign maker. Thaks, and hopefully someone...

Has anyone used MBIS-2; Mimaki's bulk ink system? Introduced in 2010, but I can only find 2 in the U.S.A. I am interested in hearing what everyone thinks about bulk ink systems in general, but specifically Mimaki's. The savings would be huge as we are running five JV33 printers 24hrs/day, but...

R.I.P.= Wasatch 6.6 Printers= (2) JV33 After clicking "print" in Wasatch, a print spooler will open; the "active light" on the printer will blink, and then the printer will begin printing. About half way through the job the printer parks the carriage over the capping st. and stops printing...

Just got a DC4SX. Great machine, but I am still learning how to run it. I am getting some defects when I print large fields of any solid spot color on an exotic substrate. When using 3M Premium Cast White, the print is perfect. The defect is a series of crescent shaped lines that grow in number...

Does anyone have experience cleaning JV33 encoder strips? Thanks for the advice!
