  1. Question Day Night Options

    you would see them during the day but not at night. window perf is not translucent.
  2. Search for the best Acrylic Edge Polishing Machine

    we used a regular polishing wheel for pieces larger than out laser but sanding all the edges was not fun. Once we got a router it leaves a good edge and hit it quick with a flame. To get a good clean flame you really need hydrogen and oxygen mix as it burns clean. other gasses will do it but...
  3. 3' x 5' Flag Printing with wholesale trade pricing?

    I use showdown displays for flags all the time
  4. Need Help Installing Vista Systems on Glass

    We typically back them with etched vinyl on the back side of the glass. Tends to look better than white vinyl and so far where we have done it they have liked it.
  5. Painting routed acrylic letters

    add a humidifier that will cut down on a lot of static. We have one hooked through the HVAC and works great for our print room.
  6. Question Lack of video DIY question

    I would not think it is against the law. It is your machine and and you are not an ex technician trying to reveal all of their trade secrets.
  7. Question Lack of video DIY question

    When I am fixing a machine I dont want to film and and slow myself down explaining what I am doing. There are not really any documents out for Mimaki as they are very guarded with that stuff so a lot of what I have figured out is by watching techs while they are here.
  8. Outsourced some laser engraving - is this quality reasonable?

    Yeah that would not pass at my shop. The engraved part should be smooth and not show the lines. Red with white has to have 2 passes and usually we engrave from the bottom up so that the exhaust isn't passing over the already engraved part. Makes clean up a lot easier.

  10. Best Practices for Protecting 4x8 Substrates During Customer Pickup

    We use the perforated foam rolls from uline. We also tell the customer that once it leaves the shop we are not responsible for damage due to their handling and transport. If large sheets we let them know they will need a full size truck with nothing in the bed and something to support it since...
  11. Air Purging JFX200-2513 EX Grievances

    When I had a Mimaki JFX200 we ran it for 5 years and I think I had to purge 1-2 times. Bi Weekly is a lot and should not be needed unless you have a leak or change parts. It should be a sealed system. on our Mimaki 3042 and 6042 I think I have purged maybe 2-3 times between both printers and...
  12. Dymax Doming Resin

    That is fine.
  13. UV or Latex for Perforated Window Vinyl

    I would stay away from UV on perf, it can fill the holes. We use our latex printers for perf. I always prefer to laminate as dirt and water can fill the holes and then you cant see out of it. Lamination increases life a ton. Our shop windows have been up for 5-6 years and still looks good.
  14. UV or Latex for Perforated Window Vinyl

    I have installed a ton of laminated perf and NEVER wet applied. Wet applying perf is not recommended.
  15. Dymax Doming Resin

    I use about 5-6 15L pails a year of the 20806
  16. Thinking of replacing our 570 with a R5070.. Thoughts?

    Yes 9 pass and we use Duratex from Grimco.
  17. Thinking of replacing our 570 with a R5070.. Thoughts?

    I run banners all the time on our 5070 and don't have any issues with warping the material.
  18. Flat white ink and cost

    I would say all of our printers have a matte white as long as we don't apply a varnish over the top. We run EFI, Mimaki and Inkcups printers
  19. Question white UV ink pricing

    yes white ink cost more than CMYK and will slow the printer down.
  20. Looking for EFI Vutek Ink Suppliers

    yes newer printers could have cheaper inks. As older printers get replaced and less people are buying the older ink formulations the cost will go up as they are not making as large of batches.
