I know it is not the fault of my Mimaki and I run Flexi as a rip which generally has worked fine (I have nothing to compare it to lol) MY problem is this.... If I have a low ink warning it could take days before the ink actually runs out so basically you can tell I don't digitally print on an...

I have a customer who is entering his vehicle in an Elvis Parade and he wants some magnetic signs. He wants a 50's type font. Any suggestions?

I am not sure if it is Flexi causing this or my computer, but every 4 or 5 weeks when I load the program it doesn't know what equipment I have. OK I don't mind telling it what I have so that the drivers load but it changes my cutter info so that it deletes the jobs after they are cut, and that...

I have the same problem every time I run white on static cling and it does not matter if it's Gerber or Duracoat. The first letter of every run has wrinkles of dropouts running through them making then entire decal useless. It seems to me that the material seems to have problems sitting down...

This is a little strange as it has happened twice today and never before. More of a coincidence actually, but I printed 2 files with contours and in both cases the boxes for cutting seemed to get within 1" of the edge of the vinyl. When I put the vinyl in the Summa to cut it reads the bottom...

I have my main work station on win98 still as I am running signlab5 and not crazy how it works with win2000. For that reason alone I have not upgraded os in this computer. I have xp in all the others. My Outlook express has been acting up for months now and I can't figure out how to fix it. I...

I use Flexi and I am not sure how to set a colour value for stroke information. My concern is the colour black. Most files come in with 100%k only and I want to change it to a rich black. I have no problems doing it with a solid shape but the stroke tool only seems to allow me to choose a...

720 720 4 pass vs 360 540 6 pass... which one will print better on jv3 130 spII. I know many shops run their jobs much faster than me, but when I try to run 4 pass 720 x 720 blues and greens somehow print streaky. It's alarming because I don't have time to wait for 8 passes unidirectional. I...

What does it mean when it gives me an overprint option for digital printing? anyone know?

I am not sure of this strangeness. I replaced my teflon strip a couple months ago so I know thats not the problem. As you all know as the blade slowly gets dull you increse your pressure for cutting. What does it mean when all of a sudden this slow dulling reverses and now the blade seems to be...

Once again I send out a job to print today and my software has no idea what kind of equipment I have. This seems to happen every 6 weeks. Is it a computer problem not installing the drivers or is this some form of software screwup that I should know about. I have never experienced this with any...

Somehow my software changes the way it does things, without my knowledge. The biggest gripe I have with Photoprint is that you can't do multiple duplications on the main page. I tend to copy and paste to get around it and has worked fine until yesterday. Normally I can copy and paste it where I...

I ran my first job of the day just a few minutes ago and it was weird. The black was printing like a very dark magenta, so I stopped the job and ran a test print and the yellow and cyan didn't print a thing. I have seen this before and just turned the printer off and back on reset and then ran...

I have always found laminating to be a problem in our shop. I just am curious as to what %age of laminating jobs end up having to be reprinted.

To many times I get that message when shutting down that the colour swatches have been changed and do I want to save it. I always click no but then there are the times that the software automatically shuts down from a windows error or the times I am in a rush and just keep clicking things shut...

I have a Mimaki jv3 -130. I need to know how to adjust the media compensation without having to print the 2 grey bars. I don't find those very helpful and prefer to use a simple rectangle to test the print. Also How does one adjust it in the middle of a print. I am running a full roll of Saturn...

I was always pretty sure that Flexi saved the print information from the previous job if it were saved to your hard drive. I now find that when I open a previously printed job that it has the same print properties of the last job printed, which is not right. What could have changed in my...

I have never figured this out and maybe theres an easy solution. When I print a job on the Mamaki and lets say I axis swap the print to fit better or even if I dont, I guess this still applies. After it dries for lets say a day, sometimes I can't remember when loading into the cutter which way...

I use Photoprint 5 and sometimes run into issues from illustrator files. This particular issue deals with the colour black. Designers use 100k only and I have to go in and chnage it to a richer cmyk to print properly. These files the way they design are sometimes devoid of a fill. I don't know...

I need some sources of suppliers who carry foils for the dc50. Anyone know of any? Desperate!!
