  2. 50% Deposit

    I have done work for a few clients that are large firms and dont pay deposits and often dont pay out for 60 days. the way I found to work around this if you know the company has the money but you may need to pull teeth to get it is. A contract I have a contract drawn up that has sections that...
  3. JV3 160SP Test Draw Problems! (Need Advice)

    That is called deflection and it happens if you get ink build up on the heads or you have a head strike. I have several of these in a few colors (6 color machine) my prints are not affected to badly but in solid blocks of colors if you look close you can see lines (this is where the deflections...
  4. Light up banners

    Man I wish I would have seen his 75hour web site before I bought all this expensive equipment and learned how to make signs and graphics. Actual ad and info from site. What a joke and people wonder why we get funny looks from people when we quote our prices for PROFESSIONALLY made signs...
  5. Auto Rotate image straight?

    I remember reading a post a few years back I think Fred wrote it about how to take a bitmap in Flexi and rotate it to be straight so that you can then design a template off of it. I cant seem to find it. Fred if you would be so kind as to tell us how to do that again I would be greatful or...

I lived paycheck to paycheck have a mortgage 2 kids a wife who stays at home and home schools the kids I had and have a high 700 credit score and a car payment. What I will tell you is you can still do this but it will take alot of your...
  7. Start Up?

    Be very careful about business partners. I have one and it works for us but we do disagree from time to time. If you want to have total control of how the business will do anything from materials used to shop rate and everything in between you dont want a partner better to learn the business side.
  8. Telling a Client you would no longer like to work with them on Future projects

    If you have enough work coming in then fire them. If you need the income and they do a lot of work then first you tell them how it is dont let them dictate payment or price. Quote the job high enough that it will cover any extra hoops you may need to jump through. Make sure you get either 100%...
  9. Over Spraying

    Ok well the head 07 error (**----) Means that you have an electrical error on the first 2 heads only way to fix this is replace the heads. The * shows whic head is having the problem.

  10. Magnetic cutting questions

    I second stouse they have what you need. I have used them before for large run stuff. They do good work and are easy to deal with.
  11. Critique my Card - Final Round

    I like the original horizontal one with the blue box it keeps with the back side color scheme. However I think that perhaps you should try putting the full logo in the blue box instead of just the QS. that way you have your company name and all important info on the front side for the people who...
  12. Orajet 3268 wall wrap

    We used Oracal 3628 and only had problems one time and it was a medium texture wall with flat paint. It worked great on medium texture walls with semi gloss paint. I have a graphic at my house that is roughlly 20" by 30" stuck to a semi gloss wall that has standard paint roller texture and it...
  13. Installing your own heads?

    Quix, Do a search for the service manual on the web it is out there somewhere. I cant remember what to to do to get to the head number at this moment. I do have a copy of the service, user and tech drawings manuals on disk but wont be able to get to them until monday. If you dont find the...
  14. Mimaki JV3-160SP - Grainy print issue....profile?

    Several things. First bi directional will always have a little grain issue. Second you need to run through or have the machine calibrated (this will make a HUGE difference). Third 4 pass is never going to look as good as 16 pass. We use 720 X 720 8 and 16 pass for most prints in bi...
  15. heads firing to soon and too late?

    Got it fixed. We did a media comp2 adjustment and didnt go back and redo the X calibration. After redoing the X calibration all is good. Stupid me for not double checking before I posted.
  16. Oh crap!

    WOW I bet he sells alot of CRAP. For CRAP low prices.
  17. ok here we go again BANDING

    I dont own a roland and I dont use versaworks but it sounds like ink starvation. In Flexi you can set the cleaning cycles Im sure in versaworks you have the same option. I would try and set the cleaning cycle to run more often so it will print a little stop clean heads suck ink and go back...
  18. JV3 160SP strange markers

    haribo578, We were having a similar issue with the cyan and magenta banding. We ended up doing a media comp2 adjustment then media comp then the X direction cal and its pretty much cleared up all but the deflection problem we have. If you do the media comp2 adjustment it stays in the tech...

    Thanks we switch rolls out regularly so this will help keep track of what we have left.
  20. heads firing to soon and too late?
