I am not sure I do have a JV3 160 S but it had the bulk ink system when I got it. I know it has original cartridges in it and we run the 3.1 firmware.

I will be there not sure what day or days but Im only a few hours away. We really should have a meet and greet of forum people that would be great to put faces with names. Someone post up time and place maybe a new thread and see who all will show.

I agree with grafix. You need to lay the ground rules out up front. You can do 1 offs sometimes you just have to but when you do charge for every bit of your time and materials after one or two they usually stop do to cost and the fact they trust you. But really you need to charge for it all and...

Well lets try to get this thread back to the help this company needs. You need a Laminator PERIOD. Get the cheap ustech from ebay there $2000 they are not heated but it gets you started we used one for a long time. Ok Design I have to say that your original design is well Bad no other nice...

It all depends on how busy you are if you have enough work coming in to cover yourself then just tell them you cant do it for X dollars do to travel etc.. Or raise the price to cover your cost of travel and just put it in the price. By charging travel in the job you may lose a few jobs but hey...

We have a us tech laminator we use to lam prints and long runs of cut vinyl. We have never had a problem with the laminator. The longest run we have ever done was 50+ feet @54" wide. This was several panels for a big truck all printed and stored on the take up reel we figured we would see how...

I am with Pro wraps. Why is this your problem? Your customer needs to figure out what he is going to do about the hole. Do not warranty it.

I cant reply about the actual print head doctor system. However I watched a video on youtube about it a few years back and I built my own system and I have to say with my system and just flush I have easilly saved 3 or 4 heads and anytime I get a few deflections I fire it up and most times it...

Triangles website is well not so great what you need to do is look over there site and find out what ink they make that fits your needs. For instance I use JVS ink this is a full solvent ink designed for the JV3 printers that use the DX4 Epson print heads. Once you figure out what ink they make...

I had a creation Pcut years ago when I first started out. I am not sure why you are getting the dashed lines. I do know that if you are using the usb connector that could be part of the problem also if you do long cuts you can get static built up which will make the cutter mess up jobs. For the...

We use the Avery on several wraps had no problems with lift. We also do it right and work it into the channels as much as possible then heat and put it into the channels and POST HEAT that is the big key. Just remember you dont want to stretch the vinyl more than 130% to 150% max and on the...

2 inch seams are overkill 1/2 to 1 inch is all you need. Its really personal preferance we use 3/4 to 1 inch most of the time. As for panel size what ever size you are comfortable with handeling. Obviouslly you want the least amount of panels so you have fewer seams and dont waste material. Last...

Why dont you just print a few pieces solid grey and apply them behind the cab and bed before you wrap the sides and when you wrap the sides just have a seam where the 2 come together? The grey panels dont have to go in to deep say 6 inches or so. You shouldnt be able to see the red with out...

Air release? Where can I get some? PM me with info.

I run a mimaki JV3 6 color machine and I can tell you that 90% of the prints we do use very little LC Lm. Example we have a bulk ink system and we average about 2 liters of ink in the CMYK to only .5 liters of LC and Lm. We print a lot of wraps @720X720 and other than pastel and flesh tones the...

Its nice to see that most are actually giving good advice. Ok I posted earlier and I will say it again i think I would look at something a little newer but not something in the 2002-2008 range there are a lot of printers that are in this manufactured range that can be had for $4-7K this will...

it will always be some what more difficult to see through when you laminate but it makes the graphics last longer and if you dont laminate you can forget about seeing through it at all in the rain. I am in Florida so it rains a lot so ALL of our perf jobs are laminated unless asked not (never...

It all depends on what you plan to run across the machine. I know that most run 720X720 or 720X1080 for vehicle wraps. I still run a JV3 (getting new printer in the next few months) we run almost everything at 720X720 16 or 8 pass bidirectional depends on the graphics and what they are...

I would have to look at the amount of work we have or project to have for the new equipment. As for the package absolutly not find and put together your own package. Perhaps buy some used equipment. We started doing wraps and well it took us 2 wraps subed out to make us get a printer that...

You just maybe one of those people that have to trial error a few more times than the next guy. I usually try to wrap stuff around the house and shop with new materials. Start out with something simple and work my way to something impossible. Impossible example a basketball (with one piece)...
