I'd think if you were printing 8pass or 12pass unidirectional you should be able to get a really nice print. I do small stuff like that all the time with my S40. The design must be pretty intricate.

You order direct from them it seems. I ordered a sample roll yesterday and they sent me a price sheet when I emailed them for info about it.
I'll have to ask them about that, my best guess it's either fall or winter since those are the next seasons to come up.
I'm in Maine so I'd definitely have to take into account the colder weather for clings.
Should also mention these will be applied by the customer and not myself.
So I've started getting other jobs to quote and have a job of 3000 - 6" x 6" window clings signs for banks to put up for some temporary signage. (Think it's for a holiday)
I've never printed on static cling and just did my first job with clear and white on my UCJV330 which worked fine. No issues...
I use AI on occasion. I do a lot of cannabis labels and strain labels. so the most I use it for is to generate a background for a cannabis strain that will likely only get used once. For me it's been super helpful for getting something quick done, but if someone is looking for a logo or...
I recently had a job I did with spot gloss and the sheets crackled a bit here and I mailed them off to the customer and when he got them they were really stuck together so much that some of the backing paper from the sheet on top stuck to the gloss on the sheet below. It may be a combination of...
I assume you're cutting in the slot between the platen and the heater on the front. Does it advance when you start a print and how much excess are you talking about?
I can start mine right at the edge of the platen without any issues and that's not much extra on it.
Doing 2 passes you're going to wear it more since you're doing double the cutting even if the second pass is easier on the blade, you're still doing 2 passes.
As long as your blade is sharp and extended enough they should pop out fine with a single pass. I do these all day on my FC9000 and have never done 2 passes.
What degree the the blade that you're using? Should be a 60 deg. and if you are using a 60 then you probably need to extend the blade a...
Yeah same, I don't want to do it unless I absolutely have to. I typically don't do more than 24" in the feed direction for prints.
I'm still trying to figure out why I'm having this bunching issue. I emailed Mimaki suggesting they should allow all rollers down in the middle with low pressure on...
I still have yet to find a decent solution to this. This is how I generally handle my files through Onyx. Place said artwork with cutlines into a new file, say 8.5" x 11", step it out to make a sheet of 20up of the label. Save that PDF and then step that out to whatever my order is for, 1000...
It cannot be more than 5 layers with a single pass, anything more than you need to do a 2nd pass. Total would be 5 layers including the CMYK. (BUILD>WHITE>BUILD>WHITE>CMYK)
You should look through their multi-layer guide, it'll give you some detail about printing with multiple layers...
Do you have any tips or tricks do you use for pull back printing?
Best option I've found is moving my outer rollers in more than normal. Instead of being on the very outermost grit rollers I'm moving them in to the next set. So they're in about 4-5 inches from the edge of the material. Even...
If you want to do raised under the 4 color. Best way would be to make a White ink layer and a Build layer (100% of CMYK) for what you want raised up. Regular ink and white are thicker than the clear and will build up faster.
I'm not totally familiar with the 300 but you should be able to do 5...
Thank you for helping me along with this! The only way to go really high with them is really doing 2 passes. 1 Pass will only get you so high and then you either need to do overprints, which will screw with your 4 color layer, or do 2 pass with pull back or by reading the crop marks.
So this...
