We have a Mimaki JV3-160SP that we bought used a couple of years ago, but our largest plotter only cuts 24" wide. So, we are in the market for a 54" plotter. I have had good luck with used equipment in the past and would prefer to go that route, but I can't find many used plotters and the ones...

We are in Birmingham, AL and we would be happy to help your friend. We do a lot of short run decals and ship them around the country so if she can stomach a UPS Ground charge from B'ham to Augusta, she can call us - 877-497-0520. Mark

Maybe I should clarify that it is 1,800 miles away, so renting a van to pick it up is more of a trip than I want to take. LTL is probably the way to go, but I need to have it palletized in a way that will facilitate a safe trip. If it is simply strapped to a pallet it will be ruined by the...

I have located a used Graphtec FC7000-130 several states away and I am interested in purchasing it. The seller is willing to help package the plotter, but he is not a carpenter. My question is, what is the best way to ship these things? I'm guessing it weighs 130 lbs. Will UPS ship it? Is it...

Copy of gsp.ini Here is what I see when I access gsp.ini - no font reference. [plotters] ; list plotters (max list of 48) ; dev desc=isckey,res,x dim,y dim,dev type,data type,i/o port ; ; The device discription must be unique in the list, in other words, ; if you have two GS-15 plotters...

We don't use Flexi, but when I open gsp.ini, it opens as a "notepad" file and there is no reference to fonts.

Trouble running gsp.ini I have run gsp.ini and a notepad file pulls up, but I can't change anything in it. What am I doing wrong?

That is a little out of my comfort zone, but I'll give it a shot..... Thanks for your help!

I have a design station and a full version of Gerber Composer 3.0. In addition to the Gerber fonts, which show in all caps ("HELVETICA EXT. BOLD"), we have 200+ other fonts that were downloaded and converted later. These show in lower case ("Arial Unicode") in the software. All of these fonts...

Stumped I do know a percentage of savvy printers have overcome the hurdles to print directly to magnetic material, while the majority haven't been able or willing to figure it out. I had hoped to be in that minority that could do it, but I'm afraid, for the time being, I'm stuck in the...

Fridge mags These are refrigerator magnets,not for vehicles.

I know from searching through this forum that most people suggest NOT printing direct to magnetic material on a Mimaki and prefer to print to vinyl and apply the vinyl to the magnetic material. BUT, I have been told by some people that, if you work the bugs out, it works and the cost savings on...

Thanks for the info! The strong cleaning brought back 85% of the nozzles, so I've still got some work to do, but I have one foot off the ledge and back inside the window. I am going to run a print or two, then plan for an overnight powered down head soak. Thanks again!

I walked in this morning to a wiper error and the carriage over the wiper, with the wiper motor making noises, but nothing happening. I removed the wiper assembly and it turns out the belt bracket clip was installed improperly a couple of years ago and that finally bit us. Not knowing how long...

You the man, Mike! I think that may be it! There was some serious gunk around that switch. I didn't even realize it WAS a switch, but I have cleaned it out and I can see the lever thing that the wiper presses against. I just turned it off and I'm waiting to see if I get the...

For the past week or two, the message "WIPER - PRESS ENT KEY" will be flashing on the screen when we come in the office in the morning, and occasionally during the day. I press enter, the station moves a little, and it goes back to sleep. I am guessing there is some sort of error with the...

Great information. Because this is somewhat out of our normal range of business thus far, calculations are a little muddy, but I'm narrowing it down. My next post will be asking about 4 passes vs. 8 or 16, uni-directional vs. bi-directional and dpi. Time isn't an issue at this point on the...

Our company does a lot of screen printing and some Edge printed decals, but we are relatively new to the digital printing market. We bought a Mimaki JV3 a while back and have used it for banners and for some decals, but we are getting requests for higher-end digital prints and, at the risk of...

We have the same issues with the process colors on the Edge. The result is always grainy and only looks good from a distance. The spot colors look fantastic, but I have never made process colors look good. The Spectratone settings give you some other options by allowing you to layer spot...

I really appreciate the insight. I plan to increase the number of passes, switch to uni-directional, AND research calibrating. Depending on the results, I may post a closeup picture of a print. I am running 4 color CMYK and I'd like to keep it there if I can. That will be a last resort. The...
