  1. accepting credit cards II (non swipers)

    I would defintally suggest sams club for the merchant processing because when it comes down to it they are the cheapest rates around though after all factors are in between a 3 year contract and everything else im not a fan of that lenght of contract. I use Square as a few others on here do and...
  2. Mimaki is doing to many wipes while printing

    I don't know why but when I came in today after being off for a couple days and fired up the JV3 the prints are taking too long. So I noticed that the wiper was wiping way to much. But I can't figure out why it is wiping sometimes after 4 passes sometimes after 8 or 10 passes....Any help would...
  3. Mimaki Stopping mid print and restarting

    Hey guys question here is I have a JV3-130SP II and out of nowhere when I run prints sometimes now it will print so much of the sign and then stop re suck ink and move roll of vinyl like 2 inches and up then restart printing. Anyone know why this would be doing this? I just ran a 4' x 10'...
  4. Banner stand ID?

    You should be able to pull out the banner and at the bottom of the banner it should be 2 sided tape on the back side. Peel off the banner and then apply new banner. Make sure you hold the mechanism out though so it doesn't roll back up inside or you will have to take off sides and then...

  6. Oracal 3164/3165?

    If your looking for an economy vinyl I always suggest Arlon 4560GT. I is only .29 a sq ft and lasts wonderfully and I noticed atleast on my Mimaki the profile it comes with prints really well. Just my 2 cents
  7. Mimaki Cost of Ink?

    bear how do you like the triangle inks? I have been using Lyson by Nazdar and they are great plus to be honest I pay $67 for a 440 which is a steal but I've heard triangle have really really good color? I thought my Lysons where good but any info?
  8. EstiMate 2 Issue

    I would just take it to a pc guy have everything stored and backed up onto a new hd then buy a new pc and switch the hd with the new hd. On the other not though and a little off subject how is Estimate? I was going to actually give it a demo sometime this week I was thinking because I've...
  9. Pole Banners

    I agree with CDIESEL and others and wouldn't warranty the banners. As mentioned you get hit with high winds for 30 seconds they could be trashed. If your competition is giving warranties let them and when there banners have to be replaced constantly people will get fed up and come to you and...

  11. Cropping shapes in Flexi?

    Running Flexi 8.1 and wondering about cropping shapes with pictures. I know I can go ahead and do it in AI but I try to do as much in Flexi as I can. I know this is probably a pretty simple answer but for how much I use Flexi I do not really know. Thanks in advance for the reponse
  12. Making full use of ink

    I know in the JV3-130spII I use I let it print until the ink says its empty and then switch the cartridges. I was pulling them whenever they got low and much like you said there is a good amount of ink left. I would suggest you just keep them in until there so called empty and pitch them and...
  13. Mimaki Cost of Ink?

    I know this is an old question but after looking for hours I have yet to find an answer. I have a Mimaki JV3 130SPII and am trying to figure out what my ink cost roughly is. I'm thinking of lowering a couple prices since the competition insists on lowballing everyone and don't want to burn...
  14. Where to buy my blanks, stakes, etc?

    PTE you are who I thought....i do signs for Bobby Pollitf at Seneca Hills in the town I live in and I believe he works with you guys or something... As far as aluminum blanks that are 18x24 040 I just bought t Nhem from tubelite today for $4.95 ea and there are discounts for quantities
  15. Where to buy my blanks, stakes, etc?

    I suggest Tubelit I believe they are in your area and they wil have the cheapest prices & I know this from buying from all of those guys on a weekly basis. What does the pte stand for? pro tour enhancement? are you the same guys in sc that do awnings and such for pga events?
  16. shopping for new printer

    I don't think I'm alone when I saw Mimaki is much better built. The learning curve with Rasterlink as mentioned above does suck kind of but in the end I think a Mimaki would outlast a Roland, print faster depending on model & I think overall just has a better print quality. But either way...
  17. Printable Magnetic material any good?

    Had a customer come in and place an order for 24 sets of 12" x 24" magnetic full color. I went to order in the magnetic and print 3651 as usual and apply but I was wondering your opinions on the printable magnetic. It would be nice to print directly and just trim instead of printing vinyl...
  18. Mimaki JV3-160

    I'm always interested in Mimakis but as above mentioned what is wrong with it? When was it printing last? Please let me know and thanks
  19. Equipment Advise

    I am a huge fan of Mimaki and they do have a large print and cut machine that prints quickly and nicely. Plus they are complete workhorese who are built greay. Now it does tie up the printer when cutting but you could always buy just a printer and plotter seperatly. I think you can get the...
