One of ours is a CG130FX, it's been in service here for over 17 years and still works like a charm. Mimaki made some incredibly good machines back in the day, keep them maintained and they'll last. We added an SR-III to the mix, and it seems like a toy compared to the old CG.

That's one of those things that I, and probably most have been doing for so long that we don't even think about recommending to others. Yes, it's almost always better to do it that way. Glad you found a solution, and that it was so simple.

That's the problem with Amazon, you never know who you're getting it from, there's just too many vendors, they're nothing but middle men for most stuff. If I need something now, as unimpressive as they can be at times, I'll pay the extra from Best Buy, I at least know where to go if there's an...

If it doesn't have a switch it's most likely auto-voltage sensing. Lots of newer stuff is like that, they did away with the switches and integrated a sensor so when you plug it in it sets the value automatically.

Merry merry, and happy happy to everyone from the frozen tundra, where it's always picture perfect over the holidays... Until you have to go outside in negative 30-40 degree wind chills. :eek:

Modern power supplies can be set up for either 110 or 220 via a switch somewhere on the supply like the pic shows. Find it, make sure it's set to 110 first, then you can use any std power cord. Again, make sure it's set to 110 first, don't just flip the switch and go, some of the imports will...

I want to trade in my multiple monitors for this, the Samsung Odyssey Ark monitor... It's a curved 55 inch, you can run it horizontal or vertical, horizontal you can have it as one big monitor, or split the screen into multiple monitors, I think max is four 27" equivalent. Vertical you can split...

If I was going down that path, for me it would probably come down to what I was planning on printing. Roland is capable of slightly higher resolution, but the Mimaki has a wider/ longer/ higher print area, and 8 colors max to hit a wider color gamut vs Roland's 6. I'm a fan of both companies...

In the ARMS menu on the machine there is a sensing speed option. might be what you're looking for...

I've used the USB to LAN adapters. Even the $20 ones handle 1gb, they're economical, easy, plug & play... Not really a downside to em'.

If you don't have an external drive to move files onto to get extra space, there are plenty of cloud services that have free accounts you could use to temporarily move files to until you're back up and running. Even if you have to sign up for a couple of them, it should give you enough storage...

When it comes to pre-mask some just work better than others with different scenarios, they're not all created equal. We use Rtape for most stuff, but have to stock Transfer Rite pre-mask for one client, it's the only one we've found that works with the vinyl/ lam specs for decals we provide for...

I have a side hustle, came into this job with it, and it's perfect. When I retired I started doing ad designs for newspapers, publications, magazines for something to do... Stuff the shop doesn't do anyway. Works out great, anytime one of my clients needs signage or graphics I refer them to the...

A lot depends on where you're at. Every jurisdiction has their own regulations, and in some even throwing your spent ink cartridges in the dumpster is a no-no. Here it's legal to dispose of inks, paints, etc, as long as they're a solid, whether you pour them into kitty litter, or onto cardboard...

You're one of the lucky ones. For every success story, there are just as many, if not more failures like the experience I had. The issue is you're gambling on what you're getting. It's the same with vinyls, or anything else, there are hundreds of different sellers on these Chinese sites with...

If they're genuine, I liken it to buying from batches that didn't pass QC, that someone ran out the back door with and is selling. If they're knock-offs, there's always something not to spec, different, cheaper materials used to cut cost. It's a crap-shoot, you might get good ones, most likely...

Stacy, I used to do window graphics for Element Mobile stores when they were still around, they changed them every holiday for different sales. I'd be out all over central Wisco in -20 temps hanging perf. It'll stick in our current temps, but might be a little stiff. I used to use a salamander...

Every place on line sells em' in only a few standard sizes, and printed. We need alternate sizes with different verbiage for different locations... The usual PITA requests. So I figured there has to be someone on here who does acrylic bending, and I'll just letter or decal them.

Thank you! I will do that on Monday... Done for the week for Thanksgiving.

Anyone here make these, or know of a vendor for blank ones? Looking for blank triangle wall signs like this in various sizes (tbd yet) that will be getting custom artwork for the facility. They don't have to be acrylic, but preferred. Need about 25 of them in at least two sizes.
