Just curious how it compares to the competition?

I laminated 5 sheets of these saturday morning. each one is about 45" x 90" and I used arctic write on erase laminate on a proveer matte truestock (avery) calenedered vinyl. The pic is of the top sheet with 4 more below. the 4 below are fine and after my heart seizure upon seeing this I...

Not that theres anything wrong with the print, except my Mimkai forgot to put the registration marks at the top end, so basically they are useless. I have had this issue happening with this new matte material I have been buying from Proverr. I know it is an Avery product and somehow it fools...

What causes this strange phenomenon... I can touch any part of the graphic that seems customized but the straight forward font info is on screen but I cant touch it...needless to say i cant send it out for cutting either. Tried breaking path but nothing. Any other ideas?

A good customer ordered 20" x 36" reflective decals from me with their logo on them. I printed everything on 2 ml clear and then laminated it to 3M white vehicle grade reflective. Customer did not explain to me that they were going on a tank on a vac truck that is made of a slightly pebbled...

It has been a couple months or so since the yellow head began acting strangely. I dont think it is the print head and possibly the damper could need changing. Here is what I have found over this period of time. Friday nights I always run a 60 minute nozzle wash and then manually clean...

I have this prototype label I have to make for a client. The label is printed on clear and then put on a clear or frosted look plastic shampoo tube. These are great jobs for the Mimaki with no real changes having to be made to the file. This one needs to be made on the Edge because it has...

I get a call from the purchasing person at a company that is owned by a buddy of mines wifes family. They do very well and are not hard up for anything. It's one of those requests you would do for a large customer but for a once every 2 year customer I usually send them to a smaller shop...

I have no idea which software is giving me these 2 issues but I like to use my desktop to save files that are going to be used shortly or for emailing purposes or for importing into Signlab from emails. many times I save eps files to the desktop and then when I go into Signlab 8 and try and...

My Proveer location has a calendered vinyl with a block out grey adhesive which has a water based adhesive. What are the ramifications of using this product for temporary or short term signage and decals in general?

I must be a little to rough with my laptops adaptor and have gone through 3 in 4 years. I would toss the laptop but it is my personal machine and my beloved Itunes is in there and it is a dogs breakfast to try and replicate it all in a newer machine. trust me I have tried and there is always...

A customer sent me a spec sheet for some vehicle lettering and the term retroreflective vinyl keeps being mentioned. I called my 3m dealer and they have no idea what kind of reflective it might be. I looked it up on google, but get to many conflicting sites. so...anybody have an idea why the...

I saw ink 4 u at the Sign Show this weekend and they say they can refill the used Mimaki ink cartridges, out a new chip on them and you can put them right into the printer without having to blow the lines. Anyone using these inks? and are they as good as OEM? My machine is now 6+ years old...

I found this to be not only very accurate but funny as hell http://theoatmeal.com/comics/dog_paradox enjoy

You ever sometimes for no reason sort of think of a customer, or drive by their office and think about them for whatever reason, and then within a few days they call and order something? I get this happening more often, than could be called coincidence. Just the other day I was driving by a...

I had a customers brand new gmc Express last week and it was booked in for the Thursday and to be finished at the end of the day. Nothing hard and I have done a dozen or so over the years. They drop the vehicle off a day early, but I said it was booked for the following day so it wont be...

I, like many people deal through a broker for business, home and car insurance. To get the best rates generally everything is put through the same company. So here is my story.... I owned 2 cars and we have 3 drivers in the household...my son is 20 and is listed as an occasional driver at...

I have windows 7 professional and I run the full Outlook package. I noticed an email from a customer this morning and the title and who the email is from is greyed out with a thin black line through it. It never came in that way so somehow it has changed. I can open it still, but even...

I have really never paid attention to this, but today I was experimenting with a pre set profile and in the advanced area under driver settings I see that the vacuum is set for high. I never recalled seeing this turned on before in the profile I basically have been using for just about...
