What the heck are you using a Roland printer to attempt to print Giclee prints for? If you are trying to print for the "artzy smartzy" photographer group, or trying to replicate fine artwork pieces then get the right equipment. You need to find a good used Epson printer 7600/9600 perhaps. They...

I have used SignCutX2 for several years, and it is probably your best option. you can lease a license from the company for only $99.00 dollars for three years. I found it to be one of the best after market plotter programs out there to cut right out of Illustrator.

cptcorn: The next thing that comes to mind, is the question " How old is your plotter?". It may be that over time the grit wheels that move the vinyl forward and back have become ever so slightly worn. Thus causing uneven pressure on the driveing parts? How clean are the grit rollers? Any build...

First thing that comes to mind is to check to make sure that the plotter is set on a "Dead Level Surface". If the machine is not "Dead Level" the side load {even if it is only slight} will eventually cause tracking error. As a side note, "I wonder what "Dead" has to do with being "Level"...

How much work do you want to do for FREE? "Does anyone know where I can find a image of a softball?...I thought it should be eay! I need it to be black and white and in silloutte style...because that is the only way I know how to cut images on my vinyl machine! I need to be able to get it for...

Try going to a "Dollar Store" and picking up a kids coloring book. Scan the image, WAHLAH! you got the best cheap clip art you can find. I do this a lot.

I am no expert in this, but for the small investment involved to replace a {or any} damper in your BIG DOLLAR printer it seems prudent to me to change them ALL on a regular maintenance schedule. Much cheaper than damaging a print head.

How about helping the rest of us with what you found.

Calvinh: one of the things I have found to be critical in getting the best quality from any given print material, is to experiment with the heat settings. Especially the front [or after the print heads} heater. I keep mine set as "LOW" as possible to allow the ink to flow before setting. If you...

That should tell you a LOT about whether to get into buying something that old.

Before doing this conversion, I had no prior eco solvent printer experience. And so when I heard people talking about heaters, i thought they where to raise the temperature of the substrate to some really high amount {150-175 degrees}. Now that I have done the conversion, I realize that you...

Bo: You remind me of my Grandson:doh: So MANY questions, so FEW answers.:thumb::thumb: Anyway, setting your heaters is a very EXACT SCIENCE:banghead:{yah Right} just experiment for YOUR application. It will vary depending on the material you are printing on I believe. Banner stock...

bovegas: Congratulations! I converted mine over also, using industrial heaters, with front and back heaters, on/off switch wired into internal wiring inside rear cabinet. looks better than factory, no external boxes or wiring hanging all over the place. I have found my settings for heat...

I believe I was just reading in the setup book that when you are cutting large or long pieces the program locks you out of high speed cut mode. It relates to Mimaki not wanting you to be throwing large amounts of vinyl back and forth through the plotter while plotting. The Program has automatic...

Call me I can put you in direct contact with the National importer for Phototex® 330-540-9490 Ohio

THE question IS NOT ABOUT THE INKS! I am asking if anyone has dealt with the company called Lavaink? Are they reliable? Any problems getting what you paid for? thanks.

Have you tried lowering the temperature on your heaters a couple of degrees? this would allow your inks to flow a little more before setting. Just my stab at solving this.

Is anyone here familiar with this company? I am looking for JV33 parts, and wonder if you folks can give direction as to where to buy repair parts other than dealers. Any personal references regarding past experiences will be kept confident. Thank You in advance for ANY help.

Hope I haven't made a mistake Well folks, I took the plunge.:omg2: Got a Mimaki JV33-160 printer on the way. Also have the Mimaki CG-160 plotter Royal Sovereign Laminator 65". I can hardly wait to get it.:clapping::clapping:

Brett: Not familiar with the material you are referring to, and your comment "The blade also slightly scratches" However, sounds like you need to set the "down force" on the blade so that it applies a little more pressure. That would allow the blade to cut deeper into the material. Go easy as...
