  1. Sign Estimating Software

    There will be an issue with that..... the problem is the business name and address that appears on every invoice and quote is embedded into the encrypted license file. So if you bought one - your invoices will forever have some other companies name shown in them. In the settings you can change...
  2. Possible bad batch of 3M 180CV3

    Heads up and also wanting to hear of anyone else has material from this lot and has run into this... We print tons of this - we are in the middle of wrapping a couple of dozen 40' buses right now. Printed a roll from a new lot number and all is fine except install. It is hyper agressive. You...
  3. Sign Estimating Software

    I uploaded a copy of the installer 5 posts up yall..... I did zip it is all. Its the original installer for the final Version 2 release (2.2.1.19). I also have the Multi User server setup file as well but your license does have to be enabled for that to use it (our license allows 4 simultaneous...
  4. WTF-Flexi Not Showing New Print Mode

    Correct - a profile is built for a specific number of passes, a specific resolution, and a specific ink set. That being said - on the RIP & Print dialog>Advanced Options (and the driver options button) you can manually override the settings when sending the print job. However changing the...
  5. Laminating Long Runs... Problems...

    I think the problem is you are replying to a thread that has not been posted to in over 13 years and is not even the right subject.... Maybe make a new thread?
  6. Decal with business card slot

    I was thinking more like these little ones - https://www.amazon.com/ZIPCCI-Business-Acrylic-Plastic-Display/dp/B08F3BZ4TM/ref=sr_1_56?crid=1XFGMMGB771CL&keywords=business%2Bcard%2Bholder&qid=1701445954&sprefix=business%2Bcard%2Bholder%2Caps%2C104&sr=8-56&th=1
  7. Sign Estimating Software

    Best way to export from Estimate is using the reports and print to Excel spreadsheet.... I've uploaded the version 2 installer here - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hmG9cFaZGRgyZNw6X8XLcy7ETF8vMWKn/view?usp=sharing
  8. Latex vs Solvent coverage per ml

    Only thing I can easily add is we use Bordeaux MS33 solvent ink in our Mimaki (2 liter bags for Mimaki MBIS3 bulk system) and our cost per ml is about $0.09.
  9. Estimate Sign Pricing Software

    We also still use the final non-cloud version of Estimate.... Its not perfect by any means and has a few bugs but nothing terrible. They also emailed me a .lic license file which is nice. Never have to activate it or anything. Just drop the file in after installing. They also updated our address...
  10. Problem with "black streaks" on vinyl material

    Only thinking I have why it only did it on vinyl might be how static affects the vinyl and not paper and maybe that pulls the fuzz down a bit more when printing. Either way happy to hear it was what I figured.... I've had the identical issue on our JV150 more than once with the tiniest bit of...
  11. Problem with "black streaks" on vinyl material

    With the even spacing I almost want to think you might have a bit of fuzz stuck on the print head carriage somewhere maybe stuck to the bottom edge of the media strike sensor thing on the right edge of the carriage or underneath somewhere.
  12. Need input on which kind of Computer is the best to use for Designing.

    Realistically the specs on that are more than plenty for Illustrator. One you did not mention was storage - if for some reason that modern of a PC was built with an old school spinning hard drive then yeah that would make it feel sluggish. I'd venture to guess that it has an SSD though.
  13. Check out my new handicap ladder!

    Since we started doing so many fully wrapped city buses and box trucks, etc at the shop one if the best investments I made was a used scissor lift. Platform is 8' long and has a 2' slide out extension. That thing has been a dream to have. I can transport it off site but rarely is that worth the...
  14. how to turn off auto feed and length detection on a Summa s2 140 t series

    When it does it while detecting marks and cutting - you want that feature. It somewhat slowly unrolls the additional material to the full length of the job so that while it is advancing when cutting or locating the next mark it is not jerking against the weight of the roll which can cause...
  15. Question about "Brand Guidelines"

    We just inform them that we will do it however they want but if their corporate comes after them to change it that its not our problem. Most bigger brands have a brand standards document. You ought to see the KO Worldwide (Coca Cola) one - its over 300 pages.
  16. What is the best brand of vinyle film adhesive you ever used ?

    In this order...... 3M, Avery, Oracal, Arlon, then others.
  17. Flexi compatibility issue...16 bit vs 64 bit

    Might just need to install newer drivers for the security dongle since the ones on the disc are probably not compatible with Windows 10. Also might need to run it in Compatibility mode which you can set in the program shortcut properties.
  18. How long have you been on here?

    Early 2010..... I did lurk and just read a lot for probably a few years before that.
  19. So, I Joined the Summa Cult... New Acquisition S120 T Series

    There are not many aftermarket blades for the T Summa's. The few that I've tried over the past 15 years have never lasted as long as the genuine Summa ones.... Your mileage may vary though. The Summa blades are expensive but for us, no others have lasted as long. I did just look and yeah, ouch a...
  20. Need Help Parts list mimaki cjv150

    For that matter other brands like the Roland XR640 also use the exact same printhead and even their captop looks identical. So if you cannot find the Mimaki one in stock you might be able to source one from another brand.
