We recently purchased a SUMMA D140R plotter to contour cut decals printed on our Mimaki JV160SP. Up until this point, we had printed decals on a Gerber Edge 2 or we screenprinted them. The Mimaki was used only for banners and large prints because we didn't have a plotter that would cut over...

We have a Mimaki JV3-160SP that we bought used a couple of years ago, but our largest plotter only cuts 24" wide. So, we are in the market for a 54" plotter. I have had good luck with used equipment in the past and would prefer to go that route, but I can't find many used plotters and the ones...

I have located a used Graphtec FC7000-130 several states away and I am interested in purchasing it. The seller is willing to help package the plotter, but he is not a carpenter. My question is, what is the best way to ship these things? I'm guessing it weighs 130 lbs. Will UPS ship it? Is it...

I have a design station and a full version of Gerber Composer 3.0. In addition to the Gerber fonts, which show in all caps ("HELVETICA EXT. BOLD"), we have 200+ other fonts that were downloaded and converted later. These show in lower case ("Arial Unicode") in the software. All of these fonts...

I know from searching through this forum that most people suggest NOT printing direct to magnetic material on a Mimaki and prefer to print to vinyl and apply the vinyl to the magnetic material. BUT, I have been told by some people that, if you work the bugs out, it works and the cost savings on...

I walked in this morning to a wiper error and the carriage over the wiper, with the wiper motor making noises, but nothing happening. I removed the wiper assembly and it turns out the belt bracket clip was installed improperly a couple of years ago and that finally bit us. Not knowing how long...

For the past week or two, the message "WIPER - PRESS ENT KEY" will be flashing on the screen when we come in the office in the morning, and occasionally during the day. I press enter, the station moves a little, and it goes back to sleep. I am guessing there is some sort of error with the...

Our company does a lot of screen printing and some Edge printed decals, but we are relatively new to the digital printing market. We bought a Mimaki JV3 a while back and have used it for banners and for some decals, but we are getting requests for higher-end digital prints and, at the risk of...

Our company primarily does screen printing, but we purchased a Mimaki a year or so ago for some decal and banner work. We are using Raster Link Pro 2 and are converting files to EPS prior to putting them into Raster Link. We have a small list of profiles in our software, but using a 720x720, 4...

In addition to some digital printing, our company also does screen printing on vinyl and polystyrene. At the current time we use Nazdar 9700 series solvent inks, but the toxic fumes are probably shaving years off of our lives, not to mention the hassle of drying racks. I have been wanting to...

We are primarily a screen printing shop, but we purchased a used JV3-160SP several months ago. Aside from an occasional banding issue, it has been working great. My question is, what is the recommended procedure for cleaning - weekly, monthly, etc.? Every week, I slide the cartridge out and...

I recently purchased a Mimaki JV3-160SP and, after some help from you guys, located a copy of Raster Link Pro II. I am CLOSE to getting this thing up and running, but I am hitting a snag. I can RIP the job, then when I PRINT it, the software says "Loading & Printing". While it says that, the...

I just bought a 5 - 6 year old Mimaki JV3-160SP that came with RasterLink Pro software. The software is no longer supported by Mimaki, so I'm looking for the most reasonable software solution to get this thing up and running. Most of the stuff we do is industrial and I don't need FlexiSign or...
