  1. Mimaki JV3 Head Alignment

    So you use the air flow of the "air hockey" tables to make the material "lite" enough to move through the pinch roller advance. How exactly did you go about creating this use of the printer?? This obviously isn't a factory recomended use of the machine...did you like the way it printed and just...
  2. Mimaki JV3 Head Alignment

    That's true - I suppose making your alignment adjustments on sheets of aluminum would work. Afterall you want it to look right for printing on Aluminum not for printing on Vinyl...I've never printed on Aluminum with a JV3 so that's unknown territory for me.
  3. Mimaki JV3 Head Alignment

    I wouldn't do it...but I guess you could. But I know that the solvent cleaner does do something to the vinyl after you wiped it. I've seen it take away the sheen of the gloss. And you want that gloss finish because it shows the best prints. Afterall the point of doing the alignments is to get...
  4. Mimaki JV3 Head Alignment

    Do you print direct to aluminum on the JV3? How does that work? Do you have a table setup back and front? for the material to lay on as it runs through? That would be an interesting set up to see. If you have no rolls around, then maybe hit up a supplier for some samples if you can. I would...
  5. Mimaki JV3 Head Alignment

    And we happened to have a sample roll of some 3M 180CV3 that we weren't using so we used that. I don't think I would advise purchasing a roll for this - afterall its all going to be garbage when your done. Use what you have, the higher gloss finish the better.
  6. Mimaki JV3 Head Alignment

    The width doesn't really matter. I would go with the widest possible because you don't want to check the print data on the ends of a roll because of the curling or lifting that can occur on print rolls. Plus you'll get a much more even heat reaction in the middle of your material. Length - I...
  7. Mimaki JV3 Head Alignment

    I was told that when doing print maintanence - you should use a high gloss surface because it gives off the best print results so you can see every little problem better and that way you know its aligned to the best of its ability. As for the actualy head alignment - it is actually fairly...
  8. mimaki JV3 SP2

    If all that broke is the nipple then yes that's all you need. But to replace that you have pull out the head and unscrew the parts off and then replace the head as if you were replacing the head. If you're up to the task then I would go ahead and do it - it's a little laborous but it's doable if...

  10. 3M vinyl color card reference guides?

    Look at that - I didn't even see that there is a translucent Olypmic Blue - which is the number that they gave you. There is a light tomato red that is close but its a little lighter - go figure - that is 3630-43 downloading is gonna be werid cause each screen sees color differently and...
  11. 3M vinyl color card reference guides?

    Check the 3M website, on there you can talk to a 3M rep and they will send you any or all of the color charts. Or check with your vinyl suppliers - they should have samples books from 3M as well. In the mean time - I think Translucent Intense Blue - 3630-127 or Translucent Process 3630-337...
  12. Our first vehicle wrap request... help!

    I use Avery 1005 EZ RS Super Cast with DOL 1060 Gloss overlam and I have never had any problems. On a side note - if you aren't trained in wraps I would sub this out to an installer that knows what they are doing. Print in house if you can and find an installer to do the work. And if you do...

    I'm interested in what you did to knock the guy out of the sign business. That's awesome! I mean with out incriminating yourself that is.

    A false sense of entitledment
  16. Wonder how legal this is?

    Nobody likes a snitch at any level because it tends to get the person snitched on in TROUBLE. Which no one really likes to be in. Whether or not they know the actions is wrong, people have a tendancy to justify it in their own heads to the point where they don't see it as wrong. But it's still...

    Absolutley!
  18. Wonder how legal this is?

    However this is not a thread of Biblical theology. It is a matter of right and wrong. Which is a portion of biblical teachings. But that could lead this in a terrible direction.
  19. Wonder how legal this is?

    The saying "He who is without sin" is a trick situation. As all humans are sinful it is impossible for any of us to start throwing stones. And it certainly is not He who is without THIS particular sin. But the grander meaning is to not Judge someone for what they do. That does not, however, mean...

    How sad it is that Jiarby and others are being rediculed and singled out for doing the right thing. Whether you want to believe it or not, agree with it or not, the fact remains that Adobe owns the lisence on that software and for someone to try and sell it to make money is, ethically wrong. Now...
