In the Southeast, UPS told me lost packages end up in a warehouse in Kentucky where they are auctioned off.

Happy Thanksgiving!

No - we bought the Rastek to use in addition to the Mimaki. We may have thought differently if we couldn't get the Mimaki to print on 1/8" PVC - but now it's printing great!

Ha! Great, well, we'll see how it goes!

No worries! - thanks for the tip anyway. Which model rastek do you have? We actually just bought a Rastek 650 at SGIA last month (we print a lot) and it will be here in a few weeks. Hopefully the experience we have gained learning the Mimaki will help with the learning curve on the Rastek!

Sucess! After a ton of trial and error we were able to dial the machine in just right and print on 1/8" PVC. In the end, it was a specific combination of color profile, dot gain, print speed, head height, and UV level - but it works beautifully! Now to get to work printing the paying jobs!

Thanks! The support structure is made from Octanorm - an extruded aluminum system metal. We build all of our structures out of it. The parts break down into sections and can be reconfigured into just about any shape. The aluminum pieces have a lock and groove system and the parts break down...

Check out this backdrop we sent out last week. It's a 14ft high by 24ft tall backdrop for a stage with a 12' x 24' graphic. The face is made from six 4'x10'x1/8" PVC panels, and the top header part is made from three 2' x 8'x1/8" PVC panels - all attached using velcro. It's made for just a...

I'll try to start the print farther up the board instead of at the edge as you mentioned. On the Mimaki the lamps have to remain on throughout the whole print - it doesn't give the option to turn them off in one direction. Actualy, when the lamps are turned off it's a five minute process as the...

The 2 mil dibond would be thin enough, but it poses another problem. About half of the graphics we produce slide into a system groove in the Octanorm brand extruded aluminum we use, which dibond works great for, but the rest of the time we attach the graphics to our structures with velcro...

Does anyone have any experience with this machine? We've had the printer since the beginning of September and really have not been able to utililize it for what we would like to yet. I'm really interested to find out what substrates people are printing on with this machine. We have been...

Welcome from Georgia!

That's pretty sweet!

Thanks! Yes, we fabricate all the displays entirely in house in our Atlanta location - we also have a Las Vegas location we use for storage and that serves as a workshop for any last minute work we may have to do.

Here are a few more pics of some completed set ups. I took a took a ton of pictures (both at the show and walking around Las Vegas) that I have been intending to post on Facebook- but just haven't had the time.

We went, there were five of us from our shop there in Vegas for 10 days. I was only able to walk around the floor once it was open for a few minutes each day but I thought overall the show was pretty good. One night we ate at Benihana's at the Hilton and ended up being seated with SGIA's...
