  6. Mimaki printer profiles

    Hi all, I've replaced my trusty Roland 545EX battle wagon with a Mimaki CJV 150-160. Although the Mimaki should print considerably faster than the old Roland, I'm not getting the speed I expected. I print Arlon vinyl. Can someone steer me toward good profiles. The output I'm getting is great...

    Does anyone have experience cutting copper with a CNC? I need to cut knock-out letters in two 24"x36"x.250" plates. Copper alloy is 110. I assume an aluminum cutting bit would work but I think copper is a bit gummier.

  10. Raster Link 6 plus

    My new printer was installed yesterday. The included software, Raster Link 6 plus is very disappointing. I know new software is always a bit daunting at first but what's up with the ultra low resolution? I liked versa works, it seemed much more intuitive and graphics weren't so pixelated. Is...

    Hi all, I'm shopping for a new printer/cutter. I've always used Roland so I'm partial to their machines but not married to them. Not looking for UV. I heard horror stories about the TrueVis printers when they were first released. Have the bugs been worked out? Does another company offer a...
