  1. need help as to what i need to get up and running

    The replies you have gotten are because this is a forum for sign professionals and well you are not and some have a dislike for people such as yourself who come here wanting our hard earned knowledge so you can go make stickers for next to nothing then go out of business and leave us left trying...
  2. Mix and matching Cutter/Printer

    what DK Graphix said. As long as your buying newer stuff there shouldnt be a problem but double check the rip will print the right kind of reg marks.
  3. Print on JV33 became a bit blurry

    Do you have any deflected nozzles this will cause that effect especially on small graphics. Also are you printing in High quality mode that could cause this type of issue as well sometimes.

  5. Mimaki jv33 banding like someone is taking a miniature rake through it

    I have found on my JV33 that the temps 35,35, 50 or 40, 35,50 work best for most everything. I once had an issue similar to the ones posted but worse and it only happened on certain blue colors found out it was the rip. Would print the blues perfect with raster link but flexi would mess them...
  6. What is this banding caused from?

    looks like a few things like media comp maybe bad nozzles but if nozzles are good and your media comp are good for everything else then it maybe to much ink for the material and also heat you may just be putting down to much ink on those certain colors just a thought.
  7. A wrap that makes people call 911

    I dont find it offensive but i do think it was not a smart idea. As for what is ok well I think anything that is considered ok by an age group stanard like G or PG type ratings is what you should go by if its ok for a G rating its ok for publicc view. You have to remember that there are people...

  9. 60 inch wide Cast Overlaminate?

    Most color wrap films dont get laminated. However I can see where the chrome would benfit from it BUT Chrome does not last for very long and laminating it may help but dont think so. If you are going to laminate it I would go with 3M 8518 or Oracal 290 (3M 8518 is as good or better than most...

  13. needing advice on 2nd laminator

    try the US Tech laminators you can find them on ebay. I have owned 2 of these and they work great. I paid $2400 for a 65" brand new they really are pretty good especially if your needing a cheaper second laminator. I have run prints 30 feet + with no problems (other than some of the fit and...

    looks to me that you have 2 main problems. first problem is alignment look at the black line on the left that runs in the direction that the media feeds through the printer all those different colored lines need to line up on top of each other. I have not owned a mimaki JV3 for awhile (JV33...

The roland should be no different most of these printers are almost...

    Heat is used to kind of open the pores of the vinyl (low heat pre and print) and then to help cure the ink (high heat Post heater). If you are getting good prints with no heat and the ink is drying fast enough for you and the ink does not scratch off the banner material easilly then hey go with...
  18. Software to Convert a 2D image to 3D file (DFX)

    Vectric aspire is a great program with a really great price but when it comes to 3D you really need to be more specific. Example there are lots of programs that will convert a jpeg into a 3dish lithopane image. However if you are looking for something more like where the image stands up off...
