Aren't many options for adhesive paper rolls for digital use, most of what's out there is the massive rolls label manufacturers use, and most of those get the adhesive by machine as they're being applied. I used the Roland stuff a couple times, customer didn't want gloss, so I just switched to...

Used to use Roland medias for oddball stuff like that, looks like they still have adhesive paper... https://dgastore.rolanddga.com/solvent-glossy-paper-w-3-adhesive-54in-x-100ft-esm--sgpa--100--54

People here call me the Vector Junkie, and motorcycles are my specialty. :toasting:

Thank you... I'm not just another pretty face. Seriously, my wife will back me up on that:roflmao:

It's not generated... And its 100% vector. I'd rather draw than just tell a bot what I want... This is all vector, all easily editable, modifiable, printable, scalable, can modify colors in seconds, and done in an afternoon. I do this stuff just for fun and practice. All I used for this is a...

Used to use Frog Juice over canvas wraps. Lots of people don't like it for some reason, but I never had any issues, and it works over aqueous bases. Place I retired from still has tons of canvas art on the walls I did 10-15 years ago, and they still look good.

If you use the Mimaki FineCut plugin, it has a preview feature where it does a cut simulation, you'll see when/ where it does double cuts. Helpful. If you use EPS files you eliminate the random PDF anomalies and masks that sometimes are viewed as shapes, make sure lines are lines and not...

Are you running pinch rollers all at high pressure? You can adjust them in the setup. Mine are usually on high, but when I have issues I'll change them. Mimaki's give lots of options to play with. Heater temps and humidity can contribute too. We've been way below zero for several days now...

I actually like how it just blurs everything... Now I'm thinkin' of all kinds of cool effects that could be done.

Groovy....

Why complicate things. I can't tell you the last time these have been moved at all, except the last one down one more spot on the rare occasion I run 60" material. Set em' up right and all you have to do is just activate 6 rollers for 48" or 5 rollers for 36" instead of 7 when you do the...

Haven't messed with the nozzle replacement on ours yet, but seem to recall something about it not showing in test prints, or maybe there's a setting to show it. I'd try to fix it rather than compensate. Inspect closely for damage, head strikes deflect like that. If there's no damage check for...

Y'all can disregard... I found it :toasting:

Truck was repainted, only thing left with the font that was used to letter it is on the brush guard. Look familiar to anyone?

The only way I'd even think about that is if you get the printer for free, and if the cutting functionality is in good working order. The 300i, if memory serves me right, uses DX4 heads, you'd need one for each channel at $500-600 each. It doesn't end there, you'll also need dampers, head caps...

Have an Illustrator license, use it occasionally, but for most of my design work I use Affinity (suite V2.xx). Affinity is just so streamlined, not as bloated or buggy as Adobe, it's super efficient for production work. For renderings, engineer & electrical drawings I use ActCad, occasionally...

This is why I hate doing magnetic signage. People slap them on their vehicles, never move or remove them (regardless of you repeating over and over that they need to), and this is what you get Then they usually blame the company that sold it to them. That might buff out if you're lucky...

Look into Nekoosa's VinylEfx. Compatible with pretty much everything except water base inks. https://nekoosa.com/

Central WI has always been a low crime, mostly rural small town life kinda place. In my lifetime I've watched crime increase to the point where the few decent size cities are just crazy crime ridden s*#t holes. Mostly because of drugs, of course. Still not as bad as a lot of places.

We use Mimaki equipment here... If you're looking for one versatile enough for both kiss cutting and die cutting, go for the FX series. The SR & AR series are pretty low grade, mostly plastic. One we have is an SR-III, it's a cheap utility machine, kiss cuts good, but it's not very robust. Good...
