There must be a way to figure this out. When the printer is low on ink it does not tell you how large a print area it thinks it has? I don't quite see the connection here. Is there a way to get that information from the digital readout? I could swear that after it measures the material it posts...

These guys I buy from must be out of their minds. Get a heads up today that my price on the 440ml inks for our Mimaki are going up 30% in 5 days. So now it costs me more to print and I still have to deal with the give away guys lol

I started with one of those gizmos back before the pc was invented. You could never really set up a job easily as there was no screen with it, just a red led info area. Doing the easiest of jobs took time but still faster than hand painting in some cases. The cost of this baby was...

This is weird. I had to print a pontiac logo for a customer who makes displays for GM showrooms and I have printed and cut these before. This time the size was smaller so I opened the existing file which had a contour cut on it and simply reduced it. Sent it out to print 4 of them. Rip error...

I must be missing something when I try doing gradients in Flexi. For instance I have a file a customer sent with a simple gradient. The file prints poorly so I thought I would recreate it, should be simple....NOT!! OK If I click on the shape with the colour that came in when importing and...

I have always noticed that as soon as the heat is turned on here that from that point on just about everything we print on the Edge, has dropouts. I feel it could be a combination of the dry air but more that the machine does not heat up enought to print properly. If I push the heat settings...

I need to be able to get into my main computer via my laptop and can't remember how to map the drive. Anyone out htere know a step by step way to get in?

So I purchased an upgrade to Signlab 8, and truthfully I loaded it into my laptop but really have not used it yet. In any case they require you to send the old dongle back in a supplied envelope which we did 2 days after we received the new software. I have heard nothing from them and today the...

I have a Mimaki jv3 130 spII and we have had it for 2 years now. I would say we use it everyday to do something but we are not a stand alone print shop so the machine can sit idle most of the day. I have been very good with daily maintenance and follow a routine everyday of the week less the...

Ever since I learned that you can do media compensation while the printer is printing, I seem to have to do it all the time now. I can't remember a job where I didn't have to fuss with doing it at some point in the print....weird

I am running a 4 panel job and the printer has stopped printing about 10" into the 2nd panel. The computer seems fine and the printer is still in remote with no error warnings? What gives?

I see in the panel section of rip and print that it seems to highlight one panel to the left and I can actually choose any one of them although I am not sure what it means as in the gneral tab I see it is going to print them all anyways. How do you actually select one of the panels to print...

I think I need help with this. I have sent a graphic 110" wide to rip and print and then in the panel selection I plug in 27.5" wide. it then shows me how the graphic looks with the panels and it seems to not be correct where it draws the cuts. The first panel looks correct but then the rest are...

I have been working with Flexi photoprint for 2 years ( a means to an end you could say) and only today do I realize that when you have a grouped object within many others and marquee everything to send down to print, that the software ignores the grouped object. Why? I have no idea but over the...

My computer has been trying to get me to download new updates so finally I gave in and proceeded. Before it would install them it suggested that I back up my system. I was alarmed by a message like that and wondered just what on earth was it going to try and load. What does it mean by me backing...

I recently purchased signlab 8. I currently use signlab 5 and want to start using 8 in my laptop while still using 5 in my desktop comp that is running win98 (stop laughing). Now I just figured that the new version when opening old files is going to be looking for fonts, so I figured I would...

I gave my machine the usual Friday night nozel wash and a good cleaning. Jv130spII BTW .... I came in saturday morning (very rare for me) and I start the machine up and I hear this weird noise when the wiper is supposed to be wiping the heads. Sounds like a little muffled grinding sound, I...

I can't be the only one with this problem, but I need to figure out or understand what it is about cs3 that makes trouble for me. I just purchased Signlab 3 and I hope it can deal with cs3 files a little better than anything else I have. First of all does cs3 automatically encapsulate every...

I was just informed of a deal to upgrade my signlab 5 to signlab 8 for $750.00. I can't say no and ordered it. I have 2 signlab workstations, but only decided to upgrade the one for now. I am doing this as my version 5 is still in my main computer running win 98. I figure I can put the new...

I have yet to figure this out with Flexi for Rip & Print, but I can think of no other explanation. I set up my cutter to cut in a sequential manner and when finished cutting the head should go to the end of the graphic and not the beginning. Now by the time I had figured out where to find those...
