Saw the OKI at the show last month...pretty pricey and prints great but they had it set for 8 colour and I will stick with CMYK

Thanks guys for the input. I will more than likely go for the print only. Does raster link support the Summa? and what about software, do I have to upgrade that as well? I have been using Flexi print and cut for 12 years..I know it, understrand it, don't love it, but I don't want to have to...

If you saw all the processes and tricks I use to get it to see that first reg mark, you would wonder how I figured it all out, but after 12 years and a few hissy fits I have come up with about 6 things I can do and eventually one will work. I have examined the reader and all I can figure is...

My JV3 is basically in hospice care right now...every print job is an effort to fight banding and overspray... I have decided I will go with another Mimaki . Just curious for those that have them, how does the print and cut work? Is it reliable or a pain in the butt? I have a Summa d-140...

Just me and my and my almost dead Mimaki again. Printed 10 banners for retractables and see a ghosting overspray around one image (bitmap). I am not reprinting as the overspray is very faint but up close you can see it. It is only on one object on the banner and completely surrounded by white...

steamers work pretty good although sometimes they can seperate the adhesive from the vinyl making more use of rpaid remover, but still prefer working with a steamer over heat gun where possible

No sorry, never had a Mutoh.... I like the sound of an Epson, but I figure I have maybe another 4 or 5 years before I decide to pull the plug and they are pretty pricey. If I go with a Mimaki I think I get a decent deal with trade in, although I have no idea why they would want an old clunker...

Guys, I really appreciate the input here.... I have a lot to think about.... Definitely need to check out the Epsons

I mostly print and lam using General Formulations calandered vinyl with a 3ml laminate, and have a summa d-140 cutter ( worse opus reader ever). I will generaly go through maybe 2 or 3 rolls of wrap film per year and not really for wraps, just want a good vinyl for vehicles. I guess I want a...

My 12 year old Mimaki jv3 is just too troublesome these days and I think it is time. I am not excited about having to switch out a printer the way I would have been 10 or 15 years ago. I want to know that I won't have to re-educate myself too much switching printers as I don't have the time to...

Yes the odd time I will see droplets once in a while..they generally stay out of the print area and seem to fall when the head swings back in the opposite direction...When I see this happening I go under and clean the heads with a foam brush and it stops....

This morning I was running a couple of swatches to match a colour...Look at what the orange is doing when the head first passes over that area... Yet when I printed the job it was perfect...only on the sample swatches it did this... Kind of strange. I have given the heads a good soak and a...

I like the sound of this program.... How many people are using this, and what are the limitations? Is it only used for typesetting or can it trace custom designed graphics?...and how good a job does it do on those?

Thanks. I did do a thorough cleaning this morning, but I think it is more than just a cleaning it needs

I have been seeing this lately from my ancient printer... I have also seen that black prints seem to have some form of overspray onto other colours...very faint mind you...I only seem to see it when wearing reading glasses. The overspray is sometimes there and sometimes not... My Machine is...

Hopefully the company making them is giving you some form of discount over what someone off the street pays.

I have never really figured out how to deal with a mask in Signlab 8. I currently have a file and when I view it it looks fine but the wire frame shows a lot of the graphics are more than you actually see. The only way I can figure out how to be able to do anything with the file is to break...

Can you slow down the speed of the print and run more passes?

tried that, just never worked properly anymore...I turfed it

Plastic razor blade and a steamer speaking of steamers, I won a Conair clothes steamer in a golf tournament a few years ago and I decided to use it for work and it was great in that within a minute the gizmo was forcing steam through the nozzle unlike my Wagner wallpaper steamer which can take...
