Talk with your vendor, and have them talk with OKI. During a time of unavailable "certified inks" you may be able to run the "non-certified" inks until the others are available again. Get it in writing though, that it is approved, if you go that route. I'm pretty sure it's REALLY all the same...

I've never seen this be an issue before now in my career, but it is an option I never even knew was there... I saw that there was an appearance/attributes difference by selecting both paths at the same time. In the attributes panel, one of the fills is set as "use non-zero winding fill rule"...

We are going to need a closer look at just the test print from the Mimaki to determine how the heads look. When it uploaded it is too hard to make out.

Sometimes it just comes down to the individual file. We've had some "smaller" EPS files with a LOT of little points (wallpaper with repeating art in the background) throw it off and need rasterized with Photoshop before Onyx was happy with it, but have no problems printing trailer wraps. I think...

I stay out of the race car area, but coming from the firetruck area it was very common to apply vinyl with encapsulating laminate on it to protect it and extend its lifespan. I would laminate your vinyl as regular, but encapsulate your overlays. Set up your overlays as normal for your plotter...

I know you don't want to buy MORE equipment, but we do have a used Epson S70675 in good working condition for probably less than the cost of the JV heads and service fees. Shoot me a PM.

Welcome local! I'm in Hebron, so you're right down the road. The HP printers are probably a lost cause, they stopped making supplies/parts for them a while ago so they're going to be harder and harder to keep running as time moves along. The JV33 should be able to be repaired if you can find...

I know the ink saturates itself into your (cloth) material instead of laying on the surface of vinyl material, so with some Phototex prints in our RIP we will add a "global bump" to increase the vibrancy of the print. Onyx RIP has a way to add a global color increase, same as you would doing...

Since we can't get any 3M 8150 clear (our normal go-to clear vinyl), we've been printing on 3M 8518 laminate without issue until we receive our back ordered rolls. Has been working great so far!

Should work out fine that way also if I'm understanding you correctly.

We run 6 pass all day, and run 4 pass on some projects. No banding ever with 3 Epson 60600s here. Re-calibrate your media feed profiles on the printer.

Here's a 41ft Tanker Wrap Template. This one does a weird dip towards the middle, the installers are "excited" about this one! The light blue area is the "safe zone" for legibility.

I am pretty sure that the motors in our HS15s are not stepper motors, that they are only in the GS series of plotters. I used to work at a 3D printing company and stepper motors failed all the time. The only good thing is that stepper motors are cheaper. Clean the crap out of those gears, send...

Just judging based on all the comments here and the photos I can see, it looks like it is only taking a crap on the one axis. It looks like it is trying to complete the shape on the X axis (linear through the machine) but it looks like it is in the wrong position across the machine. I'd look...

What printers are you considering for your shop? Most printers now require a "roll to roll" setup to even load/function. They have built in feed calibrations to eliminate banding that a "scrap piece" wouldn't work with. Do you have a local dealer nearby with a showroom that will let you run a...

We use MDF from Home Depot. We do paint the sides before use, but otherwise just use it as we get it.

DEFINITELY separate your workflow into two machines. Personally, if you don't need the white ink, I would suggest going with an S60600 over the S80600. It is super fast and dependable. We love the colors from ours (pay to have yours profiled correctly when it is installed) and can hit anything...

We have a S70675 for sale, cheap, near Cincinnati, Ohio. Or, if you want the new generation, go with an S60600, we have 3 here now. GREAT machines. The new printers are FAST.

We are upgrading printers here and now need to find a new home for our last remaining Epson S70675 printer. We are right by the CVG airport, near Cincinnati, OH. Looking for $3000 obo (stressing the OBO part!) Printer has no issues, we're just out of space so it needs a new home. It is 42" wide...

Head height is in the media profile on the printer. Make a new media type for banner that turns off the first two heaters, post heater is fine. Run it on high head height, 4 pass. Calibrate it for the media and print. It could be humidity or a lot of other factors but doing the above should...
