Whatever you go with, if they are getting mounted to a flat wall you want oversize plates to mount them to. Stander pole brackets are too small and will over time with a small amount of wind rock back and forth and eventually rip the anchors out of the wall and come loose. The potential for...

Looking at the Mimaki site http://eng.mimaki.co.jp/product/inkjet/i-roll/jv300-series/download.html If you are using BMYK then you are using sublimation inks. The only canned profiles Mimaki has for Rasterlink using sublimation inks is for their own. If you are going to use a third party ink...

OEM pumps or aftermarket pumps? If aftermarket, check them close. In the past 12 years or so I have tried to be cheap at least 10 times on pumps and all but one aftermarket pump lasted less than a year. The one that went over a year only did so by a few months. Yet an original Mimaki pump seems...

Fading will not really have anything to do with which material you use. That's going to be on your inks and laminate. Also have to agree - 3M 680CR. Ungodly expensive but hands down the best reflective for both ease of installing and later ease of removal.

Pretty cool! Will be neat if they start making even larger versions for larger desktop monitors. I have a dedicated RIP PC and we have the monitor wall mounted and just has Flexi Production Manager running full screen with a touch capable monitor we have. We can walk up select the cut or print...

I would avoid removing the screws (or bolts) on the sides of trailers at all costs. I have seen firsthand more than once where this weakens the entire trailer. The problem is they are put together with self tapping screws. When you remove them the hole get enlarged by the drill point of the...

That old Arctic Titan 165 looks about as heavily used as our old one.... Sorta looks like the back of our shop too, it looks, busy. :rock-n-roll:

We just really never use eps files anymore. Most RIP's now accept PDF files and even native Illustrator ai files. The only time there are potential issues are with certain effects and gradients. Also on eps files and even PDF files - uncheck that box for the preview image when saving and it...

I have to agree with Moze.... that many big letters is a lot of holes to drill. A rotary hammer will pay for itself on this one job. Of course as also mentioned, if its just lightweight concrete then yeah a hammer drill will also tear through it quickly. If there is any decent size aggregate or...

We also would charge more for the print and install in this situation since we are not going to make any profit on the substrate. Same as we do on contract installs.... I've had quite a few places over the years on contract installs tell me "if we were installing this here are our shop we would...

I'm not sure how 220v is more stable than 110v considering the 220v is just both phases of the 110v lines coming in. In general 220v is more efficient for many devices to run on though. Aside from that I'm sure there are 220v surge suppressors out there. Most of the "panel" ones are intended...

Geek Wraps here..... still use a solid felt block for certain things and areas as well as 3M gold but probably 90% using a Geek Wraps one and very often with it wet.

Lol - yeah we got a cease and desist letter from them years ago. We were doing graphics like that on stairs at a couple of shopping malls. It was one of the ad space options. If I remember right it was a company out of North Carolina that has a patent on that.

Agreed and on most routers you can also set IP reservations by adding the devices MAC address on the router. Then you can leave the device set as DHCP and the router will always give it the same IP. Personally I prefer to set the DHCP scope on the router to be for a specific internal range, for...

With the service menu enabled and on the solenoid valve tests so you can open the valve when needed..... attach the new damper to the joint assembly. Always grabbing the damper from the narrow sides only, then hold the damper upside down, reach over to the control panel and open the ink solenoid...

"Best" and "cheapest" I've found to generally not be compatible terms. Its one or the other.... In any case for the price the US Tech laminators do provide an excellent value. You can also find used top tier brand machines from Seal, GBC, etc as well for a good price but you really have to be...

Yeah that's not really good to not be able to specify certain things as non-taxable. I do know some states do consider humans to be a taxable product but many like you mentioned, here in SC we are not a taxable product. :)

That was our experience years back when I had a JV3..... firewire card went out (sent off to Mac Media to get fixed). So we tried running on parallel while the card was out. Quickly realized that was an effort in futility and that the machine was useless connected that way. Well unless we wanted...

Also if using RGB makes your blacks 0,0,0..... What we always use anyways and never have seen any sort of purplish look. Then again we do not use Versaworks nor do we have a Roland so I really don't know if that makes any difference. Mimaki driven with Flexi here... We also just use the native...

Without know exactly what material is on it and when it was installed its a crap shoot. Only way to know for sure how its going to go is going to be to test a small area. If its laminated 3M and not horrifyingly aged then it will not be too bad to just get at it and peel it off. We just did one...
