  1. Transparent Red Vinyl

    TransLUCENT won't work. I need transPARENT but can't find it. I bought some red "taillight tint" off ebay thinking that would work but it was just some translucent vinyl.
  2. Transparent Red Vinyl

    Anybody know where I can find a transparent red vinyl or film of some sort, preferably something that can be cut on a plotter? I have a older gentleman who is restoring some sort old cabinet. In it are pieces of glass that are covered in a transparent red material. I think they were probably...
  3. Mimaki JV3-Half of magenta not printing

    I dont think its the head. Like I said I swapped another head in and while it made a nice big blue mess(not sure why), when doing the test draw it still didn't printed the same column of cyan. I have since take that new head back out and flushed it out. The capping station is brand new. I can...
  4. Mimaki JV3-Half of magenta not printing

    I swapped the Cyan and Yellow ribbons cables at the heads. Do a Test draw and it printed still missing a column of Cyan. It also printed Yellow all the way across the page and back. I swapped the ribbon cables on cyan at the slider board, did a test draw and it doesnt print anything at all.
  5. Mimaki JV3-Half of magenta not printing

    I'm still having issues with my Mimaki. I've replaced all dampers, both pumps and the capping stations. After all of that everything is printing except for one column of cyan(see attached). Because of that I went ahead and installed a new cyan print head. The install was easy enough and I...
  6. Mimaki JV3-Half of magenta not printing

    I replaced all pumps and all dampers. Current status is black prints well and yellow prints well. Cyan prints half well, other half absolutely nothing. I actually got a nice test draw out of magenta, both rows, once last night but now its printing pretty spotty. As you can imagine I've done...
  7. Mimaki JV3-Half of magenta not printing

    Can you give some hints on how to do this? I'm pretty mechanically inclined but unless I'm looking at the wrong part it looks pretty tough to get to. When I do a DISWASH or even a regular cleaning all the fluid goes down fine. Would this mean the pump(s?) are ok? For what it's worth I installed...
  8. Mimaki JV3-Half of magenta not printing

    Is there a specific syringe for this or is this just an off the shelf item from somewhere?

    If you could email that it would be appreciated akprobegt@comcast.net
  10. Mimaki JV3-Half of magenta not printing

    How would I do that? I've never had to replace or do any maintenance to the machine so this is new to me. For what it's worth I can see ink in both lines coming down into the top of the carriage,
  11. Mimaki JV3-Half of magenta not printing

    Half of the magenta isn't printing on my JV3-160SP. Any ideas? If was printing fine a day or two ago. I've gone through all the cleaning procedures with no help. I tried swapping the magenta ink cartridges and it made no difference. Is the head shot? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
  12. Help with color setup on JV3-160SP/Onyx

    Well I got my issue resolved due to the fine folks at Advantage Sign Supply. I had my printer setup as a Mimaki JV3-160SP. It should have been Mimaki JV3-160 SP Ultra. It doesnt say Ultra anywhere on my printer so I just installed Postershop for the regular 160SP. That printer doesnt use the SS2...
  13. Help with color setup on JV3-160SP/Onyx

    Here's the latest. Printing Mid-Pass 1x4 netted me the best result I've gotten so far(see below). The media selected was Controltac210 at 720dpi. It was printed on Oracal 3651 gloss white. I tried loading the SS2 3651 profile from Oracal again and again I got a deep blue shift. I tried loading...
  14. Help with color setup on JV3-160SP/Onyx

    Can someone explain to me what I should be running under Media Configuration Name? The options I have be fault are Hi-Pass CMYKcm, Mid-Pass 1x4, Mid-Pass 1x4 MD, Mid-Pass CMYKcm, Mid-Pass CMYKcm, MD. I dont really understand what they are and which I should be using. I also have a disc here that...
  15. Help with color setup on JV3-160SP/Onyx

    I've tried a variety of images and they all have the same basic color shift. By input profile do you mean my color setting in Illustrator/Photoshop? They are both set to prepress defaults, Adobe RGB/US Web Coated SWOP. My ICC Profile in Onyx is the same, USWeb/US Web/Adobe RGB Adobe RGB. I'll...
  16. Help with color setup on JV3-160SP/Onyx

    Any suggestions on what to try or where to look? It's quite possible that I'm missing something simple or doing something wrong and just dont know it. I've tried making all kinds of adjustments but nothing quite seems right. Everything is too blue.
  17. Help with color setup on JV3-160SP/Onyx

    It kind ok looks like it is printing too layers but its not. The software is not set to do so and watching the machine print it is only making one pass. The prints are noticably darker to the point the colors are off, not just a little darker than the monitor. I've attached some pictures...
  18. Help with color setup on JV3-160SP/Onyx

    I am in desperate need of help getting my Mimaki JV3-160SP setup. All this came with my business when I purchased it and now due to a computer failure I need to set everything up again. I'm running Onyx Postershop 6.5. My basic issue is all my colors seem to be printing too dark. I've tried...
  19. Struggling w/ New Aveo Wrap

    I'm not digging the logo either. I'd take it out, make the name slightly bigger and center it in the white space.
  20. art charge

    If its going to take me 15 mins or less no I dont generally have a separate charge for art. Anything beyond that will be charged by the hour.
