There is no fix for this in RasterLinks, you must pull back when printing both white and clear. Another user suggested trying Flexi which has layered printing as well, maybe it will allow both white in clear in one pass. Using the take up roller will help a bit with the misalignment, but I think...

This video should help you to layer and print Gloss UV properly.

This feature also worked in RL6, if your printing CMYK+Clear, if you add in white, then it will not work without the pull back. By default the clear is set to a matte finish, you need to change it to glossy.

Not sure if the UJV, is the same as the UCJV, but if you can get into the service menu, you can change the internal date on the printer. Go back 2 or 3 months to give yourself some extra time on the ink. Just don't go too far, it's not a good idea to use expired ink.

We use LUS170 inks on the Mimaki UCJV300 with no added ventilation and have not had any issues. Occasionally there is a slight smell when using the clear UV. Is LUS170 compatible with the JFX 500? Maybe give that a go?

Okay, looks like this would work the same. I will have to look into the pricing. Is it a subscription service, or can you just purchase the software once and be done? I hate subscription software, everything is going towards subscriptions!

For instance, on a roll to roll, you can have 1 pass printing of 5 layers. Printing on Clear, you can have: Layer 1: CMYK Layer 2: White Layer 3: Black Layer 4: White Layer 5: CMYK All without the paper having to advance and retract the material multiple times. One thing it doesn't do, which I...

7 has a lot of bugs, but it's better if you do VDP. I use both, 7 mostly until I find a glitch, then I switch back to 6. Currently I am using 6, because the last 7 update has a glitch with UV Clear, and to fix it I would need to uninstall and reinstall the previous version and then reinstall...

Whoops. I switched to Mimaki, so I haven't used anything past VW5, so I thought Dual was the newest! My Bad! :doh:

My bad, I thought it was VW5, VW6, then Dual.. I switched to Mimaki so I haven't used anything past VW5! :doh:

I had this issue with VersaWorks 5, I believe it was just because they stopped updating VersaWorks 5. VW6 is pretty old now, so maybe they've stopped updating it?

Welcome from Whitby, ON!

I had permission to post a job and still got in trouble for posting it. Probably not as much trouble as the person who gave the permission in the first place, but I have not printed a job for that customer since that post.

After your machine is fixed, you need to figure out why you are having so many media jams. It's better to feed out and waste some material at the start of printing, rather than risk a media jam. If it's expensive material, you can try taping a piece of cheaper material to the front of it to add...

For Toronto, try Spicers, ND Graphics, TCT Graphic Products, Multi Color Canada, Grimco, etc.

Watch some Mimaki Youtube videos, that's all I did. Once you understand the way they layer the files, the rest is easy. I have a UCJV300, but essential it's the same, other than setting up flatbed templates, which is also on youtube.

Sometimes there's just no explanation, try saving the PDF with different settings, or save it as an EPS, try outline all fonts, try flattening any transparencies, if all else fails, save it as a JPG.

It's a Barn that you live in, some of them are quite nice with 6 garages and open concept. Look them up on youtube.

You need to buy heat assist lamination as well, cold lam will not work as well, adding a bit more down pressure on the rollers will also help fill in the gaps.

If it's a glass bottle, pretty much any permanent adhesive material will do. I do a lot of labels for glass and plastic containers, currently I am using GF-214 and GF-216 with no complaints. For low density plastics you will need a more aggressive adhesive, or make the label wrap all the way...
