  1. Suggestions Wrapping a food truck over existing graphics... help!

    Best option is to remove the existing graphics completely and totally. What you are going to find is that every rivet, screw, edges, etc are not going to go down nearly as nice as it would otherwise. That being said. We have done it but we will not warrant the materials or installation is a...
  2. How to Print true CMYK ???

    Another RGB design shop here..... we do use pro NEC PA series monitors and we have have an i1 Pro which we use to create all of our own custom profiles end to end for the monitors, our own custom profiles for Flexi, etc. Aside from that there are some good points made by ColorCrest and others as...
  3. How do you protect your money?

    Of course not on large purchases. Major purchases need to be documented for many reasons. While you technically "could" gather up hundreds of thousands in cash and buy a house it would not matter as the deed with the purchase price still is going to be recorded and taxed. Purchases for business...
  4. looking for used Mimaki DX5 solvent printhead for testing HELP !

    The only difference between the solvent and aqueous DX5 heads is the black plastic manifold screwed to the top of the head. Years ago in a pinch I needed to replace a head but could only get an aqueous one quickly. I got it in, swapped the manifold from the old head to it and printed fine for a...
  5. Need Help Where is the best place to buy JV 33-160 Mother board and power supply

    I'd hope that almost a year later they have found the parts they needed....
  6. How do you protect your money?

    I really prefer cash. Call me old school but I do not much care for retailers, insurance companies, government, etc knowing exactly what I buy and when I buy it. Don't think for a second that the mainstream pharmacies do not share your purchase history with your insurance company, etc, etc. They...
  7. trailer rivet question

    Removing the screws is really not a good idea. They are self drilling screws. When you remove them the drill tip makes the hole a tiny bit larger and will never hold again as well as it did the first time. They then start to get loose over time. I've seen a trailer where all had been removed...
  8. Interesting

    Said it before.... for business, MS does NOT want you to use it and the keys are not sold retail but get LTSC (long term servicing channel). You can defer updates longer, can defer "feature" updates even longer yet, both of which allow the rest of the world to beta test updates. LTSC also has no...
  9. 8048 Shrinking

    Had bad experiences with Oracal high tack. We pretty much ended up tossing half a roll as every time we used it adhesive would ooze out on the printer getting on the preheat platen, print platen, all over the media edge guides, post heater, etc.... One of the most important keys for us on wrap...
  10. Mimaki CJV30-130 Dripping Ink I need to resolve issue.

    Well that narrows it down some. Possible sticking or failing slot solenoid valve, dampers, or printhead being the most likely culprits would be my thinking. I'm assuming you have acquired the service manual as you seem willing to work on things yourself. A couple of things to be aware of...
  11. Immediate need for experienced associate... Columbia SC area.

    LOL - very true and good point! Need someone willing to sit around on their butt and play games for half their day.... :D It is truly getting hard these days with the younger generation to try and get them to keep their stupid smart phone in their dang pocket. Last time I was hiring a couple...
  12. Mimaki CJV30-130 Dripping Ink I need to resolve issue.

    While the test draw is actually very very good it is also possible that the head is simply getting worn out. But there is some confusion there. In the first post you said the printhead and capping station were both replaced about a month prior but then you say in post #6 that the print head and...
  13. Mimaki JV33 "Special Firmware"

    I know very little about the CJV machines. We used to run a couple of JV33 which use different firmware and this thread is about the JV33. That being said we also do not have those anymore either and I have not touched one in a couple of years now.
  14. 8048 Shrinking

    For us - cut vinyls. Mostly Oracal 751. Print for vehicles - Avery 1105 with 1060 (the thicker lam has a better life, easier install) or 3M 180mc with 8548G. I hate 3M prices but it is still about the best out there in my opinion. Especially if your customers are loyal and come back to you a...
  15. Immediate need for experienced associate... Columbia SC area.

    We have an immediate opening for an experienced sign shop associate. We are a progressive family owned very well established (since 2002) wide format printing and sign business. The position we have open will encompass many facets of the business but we are primarily looking for someone with...
  16. Attention Flexisign Users....

    https://www.thinksai.com/assets/pdfs/english/flexi19_english.pdf Looks like the biggest deal is that the actual RIP engine (I'm assuming it is still APPE, the genuine licensed Adobe PDF Print Engine) is finally now true 64 bit. Total looks like about 15 new features and the biggest being 64...
  17. FlexiSign Pro 8 importing AI file

    Another idea would be to place/link any raster images instead of embedding them. This is actually a good practice regardless as you do not have massive Illustrator files that way but it can be a pain if you move files around from machine to machine and they are no in the same folder as the mail...
  18. Mimaki JV150

    Check the printhead media jam sensor flappy bit...... it is on the right edge of the print carriage. It is a spring loaded plastic flap - ours occasionally will get a bit of stuff stuck on that which will drag across prints.
  19. Is www.wolrdprinterparts.com a legit store? Anyone have any experience?

    I'm honestly surprised you even have to ask. If the prices of some online place are a quarter of every legitimate source then you just move on.
  20. Suggestions Temporay Decal Material

    We actually could use something like this too. Over the years have had a few instances where a client wants to stick something on a wrap and change that part out. In one case very short term but very frequent changes - Powerball lottery amounts on a big Powerball logo. We used Busmark but...
