YESY YES Always open the valves before you pull ink with a syringe. That one bit me when I first got my JV33 (after having a JV3)

What are your heat settings? I have had issues like this myself from time to time (mostly when trying out new materials). You get little spots where the pinch rollers are I have found that usually a heat adjustment will fix the problem. I dont know what heat settings you have but try 35 pre...

I love my JV33 160 Just like Fatcat said its a tank very well built and will last years with HEAVY work loads. Would I buy another tomorrow that depends on what Im looking at in the future. Truth is I like the new latex printers but there still new and have bugs (some more than others) Hp has...

I owned a JV3 and now own a JV33 and I love my mimakis they are true work horses. However if I was going to get into latex printers I would go with the HP. The main reason is the cost why would I buy a printer from mimaki that cost $30,000+ that is still new technology (however mimaki did wait...

Watson there are people out there that do offer long warranties. There is a company here in my city that gives a 5 year warranty. When I heard that I was like what the manufacturers only give you 3 on vertical and 1.5 on horizontal especially in the Florida sun. I will say they are not cheap...

I have owned 2 of there laminators over the past 5 years and still use one today. I have had no problems and would recommend them to anyone. I have ran 40 and 50 foot long runs with no real tracking issues (you do have to know how to web a laminator) and I have mounted many of prints on to...

Very awesome I use Trangle bulk ink with cheapo refill carts and permanent chips never really had any problems but do like the 2 liters and bagged.

As for overlap 1/2" is plenty we do a 1/4 to 1/2 depending on the job. 1 horizontal seam by printing 54 then 16 would be fine if you did that you could install bottom then top so your seem is pointing down (so water doesnt get caught in it) I still think from what you described I would lay...

Sorry for the delay I have had stuff going on I do not have the pics available on this computer but I will try to get them up asap. Ok to answer a few questions: Heat relaxed the vinyl just like any other vinyl. Heat did not seem to effect the color. if you over heat the vinyl its clean...

We run Trangle inks in our JV33 for 3 years bulk ink system and we ran trinagle bulk ink in our JV3 and the current owner of the JV3 (a good friend of mine) still runs triangle inks in it and this printer has been running bulk ink for a long time always triangle I wouldnt use anyone else.

Due to the heat inside most vehicles when they sit closed up I would use a good cast material. A good calandered vinyl may work such as Oracal 3651 but to be safe and not have heat shrinkage I would go with cast which means pretty much any wrap material.

I have a Mimaki JV33 which comes with a take up reel. The take up reel on both my old JV3 and the newer JV33 are both just a slip clutch type no optical eye this is from the factory. Cant say about the one you posted but to be honest a take up reel is a pretty simple device not much to them so...

when it comes to wrap materials its really about what you prefer there all very similar. As for the streching it can happen just keep an eye on things as you go this is one of those experience things the more you have the easier it is. if your doing one solid print an option (will need help if...

Lots of people nock the cowboy but I have to say I have a fellers a grimco, tape technologies and farco (farco only carries substrates) and I have never had a problem with Fellers. I buy 99.9999% of my vinyl from them because I call my sales rep up and say hey whats your best price on this and...

Ok I have changed the testing conditions and I applied 3 pieces of vinyl to bare aluminum that has ridges so we heated and applied the vinyl. The 3 pieces of vinyl are: 1. instant one media gloss vinyl with there laminate. 2. oracal 3651 gloss with 210 gloss laminate. 3. oracal 3651 gloss with...

Bob, Your right you shouldnt have to adjust the offset even when you change blade angles BUT manytimes I have found that there was something different and had to adjust it (usually just a little). Also one of the reasons I mentioned blade offset is that it was tearing or lifting the edges...

3 things come to mind. first you may need to adjust the blade offset. second you may need to oil the new blade (or it may have some dirt in the holder). third you may need to adjust your pressure with the 60 degree blade vs the 45 degree. Fourth it maybe a combo of all three but I would...

There site is fishy looking but there good to go (there actually a large company that had this vinyl custom made for them and have now decided to offer it to the public) I called and talked to Don Berglund really nice guy he sent me out a sample of material and laminate. Material seems to be...

Burn me up and scatter the ashes. Cemeteries are such a waste of land.

Routers are very cool and fun BUT for one offs of digital printed stuff or even 5 or so print cuts on rigid board a CNC router is not the way to go. If most is strsight cuts try a wall mount cut system or (my favorite) a panel saw can do almost anything a table saw can do except dados. Most...
