    I just bought one. It has 2 -2.66 duo core processors. Mac calls it a 4 core. Mine was built in January 2008. Hope this helps.
  3. Window Perf Help

    It should darken back up some when you put it on the window.
  4. Ultraflex banner profiles

    who did you buy the printer from. Call them and ask. Otherwise go to grimco's website. That's about the only place I know that has rasterlink profiles.
  5. Plugging into the wall vs surge protector?

    If you cant get enough power through a surge protector I would say you either need a new surge protector or you should call an electrician. I have the plug for my mimaki on its own breaker and yes I do use a surge protector.
  6. resizing image

    never heard of downsizing causing pixelation. I just go to image size and change it to what I need. Or you can use free transform to click and drag the image to the desired size.

    anyone
  8. wireless usb hub

    Anyone ever try running a cutter with a wireless usb hub. We are moving to a new building and would like to have the cutter on the opposite wall as the computer. Seems like wireless would be a good idea. I have a 30" panther that I need to run this way. I also have a 54" mimaki but will...
  9. Where do I buy a Mac

    I am getting ready to upgrade and want to price a mac versus a pc. I currently use a pc but worked on a mac at the printing company I worked at before entering the sign business. I love the mac just don't have a clue where to buy one.
  10. Mimaki JV3-250SP streaking/Ink starvation

    I have the same problem with blues and purples on my JV3. Had the tech out last week. He changed a print head but it made no difference. I have rasterlink and wasatch and it does it with both rips. It seems to be at its worst on oracal and 3M viny. It prints decent on avery. Problem is we use...
  11. Mimaki CG 130fx should I buy

    i have one and would rather use my 30" panther. For some reason I cant get the vinyl to weed correctly. It is like it cuts the vinyl but not the adhesive. I have tried blades from 3 different suppliers and have tried setting the tension and depth every which way possible. I have even had a...
  12. mimaki jv3 160s

    This may be a stupid question but why do you need to update the firmware. I have a jv3-130sp2, is there something I need to know before the warranty runs out.
  13. JV3-130 Pricing?

    I was told they discontinued the JV3. I think you have to go with the JV33 now.
  14. scratch disc

    So do I need to add a separate internal hard drive or just put a partition in the one I have. If I put in a partition how much space needs to be allocated
  15. scratch disc

    I have seen post on hear that talk about scratch disc. What does scratch disc actually do. I am under the impression that it will speed up the way photoshop processes files if I have the correct settings. I checked the preferences and it is set to "startup". I have an external hard drive...
  16. flexi error

    I think I got it fixed. I had to go to properties and click it to open with "design software" instead of "flexi 7.65" This makes no sense but it seems to have fixed it for now.
  17. flexi error

    I'm still having trouble with this, I finally got a chance to uninstall and reinstall the software. Still does the same thing. I am assuming this would have cleared the preferences but if not how do I do this.
  18. crop marks blow

    This probably doesnt help but with my mimaki I use larger marks for long runs like that. But I am also not using flexi for print cut jobs.
  19. Mimaki Is Banding, Bad Test Cleans

    Wipe the print heads with the swab and save yourself 60 minutes. It wont hurt anything as long as you have the foam swabs.
  20. Mimaki Is Banding, Bad Test Cleans

    if you have the foam tip cleaning swabs (don't use the cotton ones) you can dip one in cleaning solution and gently wipe the underside of the printhead after doing the nozzle wash. If this doesnt help do the fill up ink as others have suggested. If still no good then you probably need new...
