Did you get back up running yet? Some of my inks will expire soon so I'll have to either try the chips or remove the battery. More info would be appreciated. BTW, I contacted my tech and he said something about being able to extend the expiration time but hasn't got back to me yet.

You could try contacting Mimaki's Australian distributors at dgsmimaki.com.au. I enquired about getting it with my new printer package but they weren't too keen either for some reason. Then they told me the price - over $4k AUD - so after that I wasn't too keen either! I'm using an i1 with...

Interesting, I didn't realise they had valves which needed to be opened first. If, say you wanted to only work on one color, could you just open that valve? In other words if you have Cyan nozzles out or you wanted to do a Cyan ink fill, could you just select to open the cyan valve so you're...

I had that problem with my FJ50 and an older version of Colorchoice. I was able to successfully use my own CMYK profiles, but it didn't recognize my CMYKLcLm profile.

Really? I prefer CMYK cause it's more like mixin' paint. My custom palette consists of mainly CMYK colors, along with some RGB oranges and reds. Kinda weird that this is only happening with a straight cmyk color though. I'd like to hear from other "streakers" to see if we can find some...

Hi all. I gotta report I'm getting the same streaking on a job I'm trying to print with my new CJV30 through Signlab. The color is dark blue C90,M70,Y10,K20 straight CMYK with no colour correction. I've tried 8 pass, 16 pass, hi speed, normal speed, unidirection all have the streaks. Also...

Hello Gurupreet, I've just bought one of these too so would be happy to try to exchange info and ideas as they come up. Regarding cutting, I can't imagine trying to cut through a banner and not sure why you'd want to?? For cutting vinyl I use the following pressures: Vinyl only - 50g Vinyl...

Hey Jase how much did you pay for your 8000's? I asked Anitech here in Adelaide and they wanted nearly $14k ($AUD) for the 54" model. As to the original question - I have the 7000-75 and it's a great cutter and the ARMS works perfectly.

There's probably a different driver for ones with and without ARMS. You could try loading a graphtec driver - should work. I have the FC7000 working beautifully for print & cut.

What part of the profiling would cause banding?? I ask because I've just made a profile for Signlab which is every bit as good as the Rasterling profiles but I have more noticable banding with mine. It's like a lawnmower effect - printing Bi Dir the up pass looks a different color to the...

I think that's what you get at one of those manscaping day spas. Goes along with the back sack & crack wax!:omg:

Hi all, I have a CJV30 now and am still wondering about the interval for sleep cleaning and refresh settings? My tech had no idea what to set it at. I'm thinking every 6 hours for both cleaning and refresh. This is using Eco HS1 ink which I think is similar to SS21. What do you guys recommend?

Is this a printer or cutter or both? Anyway, assuming you have a printer and cutter installed and the cutter has reg mark sensing... Select the graphic to be printed and contour cut, make sure it has a contour cut line (dashed) around it. Select print & cut. Click ... next to...

Thanks Mike, I figured you would've noticed when removing the stuff. I bought the 203 and a roll of their clear 102 for less than the price of a roll of 3551. The clear works well - we printed some large window graphics in reverse on it. Although the backing paper is thin and curls easily. I...

Lots of good info there from Insignia as usual! Just a question about the Concept 203: I've just bought a roll of this to try and I cut off a piece to play with/test out and noticed that the adhesive wasn't very tacky. It feels like Avery EZRS - the slidable adhesive. Anyway I stuck it...

Are you sending the pressure data from the software or setting it at the cutter? There's a menu setting in the cutter to allow/disallow software commands, maybe that has been switched off?

My bet is the head isn't seated properly. You may think it is but it's easy to get wrong. It can feel like it's clicked in place and you can screw it down but it can still be out. In your case it sounds like it's sitting up at one end and unable to get a seal around the cap. You may be able...

I use type 2 four points with my 7000. One thing I find I need to do is make sure the origin is not too far away from the first reg mark. I have to trim the sheet back so there's only a couple of inches of leader from the edge of the sheet to the first mark. That way, when it sets up the...

Well I just ordered a new JV33-130 bundle (with a CG-130SR2 cutter and Royal Sovereign RS 1400h Laminator). Here in Oz we can't get SS21 ink so I've ordered it with their new ECO HS-1 ink. Here's a snippet from their media release: "The newly developed Eco-HS1 ink has no toxic ingredients...

I just noticed the same thing: On a file where I'd removed the background with Fluid Mask, I printed to a pdf for emailing and the pdf showed the yellow background. Weird. I made a copy and rendered it to a bitmap for emailing.
