White ink on a solvent printer is not very good. They are too translucent. If your wanting a good white you would need to go with a UV printer. We have the EFI Pro 16H that we run all of out clear decals and static cling on. White is very opaque. I would request a sample from each...

http://www.trafficsign.us/regsign.html This site has a lot of the signage. Not sure how up to date it is but might be worth a look.

cheapest option would be banner tape. Sewing is a better finish but to get a good double needle sewing machine your looking at $3,000-$4,000 easy for the machine. We used to heat seem and switched to sewing for all of our banners.

That is normal and you can clean the areas around the print head. The larger rectangle surface in the middle is where all the nozzles are and that is what you want to avoid. The metal strips to the left and right are good to clean.

depends on the vinyl you are using. There are some vinyls that will allow you to heat and press into the grooves and will hold without a problem. I would suggest a small amount of Primer 94 to help in those areas

I have not heard about the Mimaki but we run the EFI 24F and its awesome. I believe the 30f will have the same features as the 24f but will be its big brother.

Check Flexi to see if your Mimaki printer is in that list. We run our HP Latex and Mutoh VJ out of Flexi no problem. We did have to upgrade to the current version when we added our HP Latex as it was not supported in the version we had.

Been a while since we have had our JFX200 but have you cleaned your encoder strip lately? Is the head gap correct? The encoder strip being dirty could be causing the machine to think the carriage is somewhere is is not.

How "sticky" was the cover sheet? I have seen this and found that when the plastic cover sheet chatters when removing I really have to clean with a lot of alcohol. We are using 99.9% pure isopropyl.

My $15,000 printer has made me $30,000 in 6 months. And when I say "made me" that is profit after paying off the printer. Cant be too bad of an investment.

There is plenty of money to be made in DTG printing. Yes there is a learning curve but that comes with everything. Once you have it down it the process is easy. Having the proper equipment helps. A pre-treat machine will allow that process to go smooth and consistent. We switched to a...

We do epoxy domed name badges every day. We UV print the plastic or metal badges with a UV printer then dome right over the top of them. Have been doing it for a few years. It will come down to the type of resin and proper curing.

He said $500 not $5,000. This model is $5,995 so this would be $5,495 over his budget. Then would need a laminator and cutter. There is not way of printing outdoor durability labels on a $500 budget. Outsource these to a sign shop and be done.

I would find the closest vendor you can. I would try Custom Color out of Kansas City since they are about an hour from you, I use them for a lot of stuff. If the order is large enough you could drive in and pick up to save the freight cost.

I would go with a combo unit not just a dedicated router or cutter. Get one to do both. We have a Zund and its amazing. I have routed 1" Acrylic no problem. We knife cut all sorts of substrates. There are cheaper options like Colex but you get what you pay for. Esko and Zund are the two...

Its in the main settings right in the middle called Auto Clean. Just remember when done to turn it back to zero as it keeps track from job to job. On full rolls just make sure your material is in and tracking straight or you will get material starting to tunnel. I bypass the media roll...

we had our 1625 for a year and had a tech out every month fixing something. They finally agreed to do a swap as the problem could never get fixed. That is when we did the upgrade. It is much nicer...faster printing and have not had any issues with it.

Is your pump working properly? We had a pump that would go in and out. Once the pump was replaced no more problems. We got rid of our 1625 and upgraded to the 16H and are much happier with it. I have pumps left over if you need any.

I have seen prints off the AccurioWide. I think our EFI Pro16h has better print quality. The Ricoh heads EFI is usign will go to a 7 picoliter drop size I believe and the KM head is 12 picoliter.
