Sadly, I have no idea how to go about doing that. I use Mimaki FineCut8 out of Illustrator. I don't even know how to set it up in Flexi, which I have.

How do I double check the offsets are both the same?

These were done with the pen so it would show exactly where the blade would be cutting. The very front, far left decal cut almost perfectly, but it's the only one. I can't figure out why these are so off, and the Mimaki manual is pretty much broken English, it's missing images/steps and I can...

No one has any advice/information?

Still dealing with this problem. After register mark stuff is done, the contour cuts start out on target, then drift up to a 1/2" off. Solutions we have tried: Made sure rollers were in good working condition and clamped down properly and tightly. Thoroughly cleaned very nook and cranny of the...

Been trying to nail down pricing for a while now and haven't come up with anything solid. My supervisor came up with .65 cents added to the square ft cost of print vinyl per sq ft, but I KNOW that's been too much and scaring off customers. Waiting on big boss to approve estimating software that...

Trying to contour cut using FineCut8 with Ai CS4 (can't get it to work on Ai CC, which is another problem unto itself). No matter what I do, I cannot get the contour cutting to stay lined up properly and cut along where it's supposed to for the entire process. The first few cuts are pretty...

Thanks everyone for the great suggestions. I've done some research and will be handing over the info to the money folks at work to see what they will do for me!

Curious about any kind of color matching equipment that allows me to match a color from the side of a vehicle (graphics) and save it so I can translate it to Photoshop or Illustrator and color match on the computer. For example - I needed to create replacement panels on a beverage trailer. None...

Hope this is the right place to post this since it's a combination of software and printer. As noted, I am using (as of 3/19/14) Onyx 11 with a Mimaki JV3-130spII. Since the software upgrade, the colors I print aren't the same. Since I didn't set up Onyx10, I don't know what was there when I...

I don't hear anything out of the ordinary when I do anything with the printer, but then again, it sounds the same since I started working with it, so if it was broken before, I wouldn't know it. It's pretty darn loud anyway. I will give the thick setting a try so I can compare prints. Will...

Just an update - it turns out the err37 is because the machine doesn't feel like it has enough material, either on the sides or front/back. It was suggested to me that I have 2 inches away from the reg marks on each side, and at least 3-4" of extra material front and back and have the pinch...

Heat is set steady at 38. Not sure what you mean by removing the high/low toggle. (I have a toggle for thin/thick material, it's set to thin) I always do a through cleaning daily (I am kinda OCD that way), and also before every major print job. I've never seen any ink stalactites (great...

Thanks for your response. I have double-checked the position of my pinch rollers in regards to placement and the registration marks per your suggestion. Pinch rollers are approx .5" from the mark line. Just to be sure, I readjusted everything and sent again. Same error. Though the instruction...

Desperate for help!!! I've been trying to conquer this issue for months, even had an Advantage tech out here twice. I've had it with Advantage and their unreliable support so I am begging for help here. I have some step-by-step instructions on how to use FineCut 8 with Illustrator to perform...

The best I could do. Hope it's visible.

I. HATE. THIS. MACHINE! :banghead: Okay, now that I got that off my chest... I don't know what the issue is because the media is perfectly smooth when it starts out, nut then it goes under the rollers and where there is a space between the rollers, it raises slightly and the print heads...

Thanks for all the great advice. It has helped immensely. @milchad - do you happen to still have the URL for what you posted? I am wondering if the entire site would be a good resource for me. Thanks to everyone who responded. Very grateful for the assist!

Yes, PPI - SORRY! I was going through some old files here just a few moments ago and I found a leaflet that it looks like my predecessors would send to clients. So I guess I don't even need to be doing files in CMYK...? Sorry I seem like such a freak, this is all just so new to me, and I...

Total large format printing newbie here who has been thrown headfirst into the raging fire. I recently started a new position working with large format printing. So far it's only for vehicle graphics and wraps, but the owner would like to expand to posters, banners, billboards, expo booths...
