  1. Which OS to get???

    Hello. I am thinking of buying a new computer. Specs are 3.4 Intel i7 3770, 240GB SSD Drive, 1 TB 7200 Drive, 2GB AMD 7770 DDR5, 24 GB 1600 MHz Ram, etc. Anyways, I have the option to get Windows 8 Pro, Windows 7 Pro, or Windows 7 Ultimate. Which should I get? Here's my dilemma. Currently I...
  2. ECO solvent ink printing without laminating?

    The quality is outstanding when it comes to Pantones, spot colors, solid colors, etc., basically because it is using tape rather than ink. The downside is that gradients and images and nearly impossible to achieve. The printer is also much slower than a solvent printer but if you are looking for...
  3. Printing / Contour Cutting Issue with two different machines

    Hello. Here is my dilemma. I have a Mimaki JV33-160 and Roland SP300-V. I am wanting to print vinyl on my Mimaki but have my Roland contour cut the vinyl, if needed. How can I do this? I currently use Rasterlink Pro 5 SG with the Mimaki for printing and Flexisign 8.1 with the Roland. I see that...
  4. Help getting into digital printing.

    Sorry to chime in so late, but I started out the same way in college. I started a home based dye sublimation print shop/vinyl cutting shop and have grown to a full-on sign shop with a Roland SP-300V and a Mimaki JV33-160 along with a 24" Graphtec cutter, 61" laminator and multiple dye sub...
  5. Mimaki printing costs VS Roland VP540

    I own a SP-300V and a JV33-160 and both are 4 color printers although the JV33 can be switched to a 6 color at anytime. Comparing them both on a 4 color level, the Mimaki beats the Roland when it comes to printable gamut. I have noticed that I can print much brighter blues, reds and greens on...
  6. Rasterlink Pro 5 RGB Input profile problem

    Hello. Two days after my Mimaki JV33-160 printer was installed, my computer crashed and unfortunately I did not have a recent backup with all the Rasterlink software, drivers and profiles installed so I ended up reinstalling everything myself. I have everything working again but now when I open...
  7. 0.80 Aluminum sign blanks

    That's hilarious.
  8. Another "Got to love customers"

    I been following your posts about this customer. They are pretty funny. Hopefully he stays a customer cause I'm anxious to see what he will do next. :goodpost:
  9. Mimaki vs Roland Print Quality??

    Good point. The Mimaki comes with a 2 year warranty, two sets of 440 ml cartridges and a take up reel. I paid $13,500 for mine with everything listed. The closest thing Roland has that's similar is the RE-640 and it is listed at $16,995 without the second ink set and take up reel. Can't wait...
  10. Mimaki vs Roland Print Quality??

    I currently own a Roland SP-300V and just yesterday I ordered a Mimaki JV33-160 using Mimaki's $4000 end of the year discount. I drove up to Pittsburgh and had some print samples made on a similar machine. Only difference was it was a 130 instead of 160. I could not believe how much better the...
  11. Couple of recent projects...

    Looks great. Really like the design of the law office sign.
  12. Printed table covers.

    pool table felt I am not sure if they can print a full felt but they can definitely dye sub a logo on it, check out jakprints.com
  13. Printed table covers.

    Creative Banner also carries a lot of sublimated & fitted covers.
  14. corrugated signs

    I can back up i45 signs. I have had some stuff printed through them. The quality and pricing is unbeatable (IMO).
  15. My first box truck install

    Do us all a favor and just keep to yourself. You're a obviously an awesome person who can do no wrong. Hopefully you don't talk to your customers this way.
  16. My first box truck install

    Mug covers...lol. We have a very successful dye sublimation printing business. That's how we started out, adding vinyl signs and finally a 30" solvent printer and 61" laminator. No reason to make fun of what we do. HAHA. Go wrap something.
  17. My first box truck install

    Alright. I apologize, it was all a misunderstanding. Obviously, you wouldn't remove actual rivets, that would be a bad idea. They don't go back in unless you put new ones in.
  18. My first box truck install

    Play the poor victim roll? I think you mean role. Idiot. Where do you come up with this stuff? The only cry baby douche bag on this forum is you. Boo Hoo.
  19. My first box truck install

    Maybe you are thinking of a different rivet than I am but the ones I was referring to have a star shaped head and can be removed and put back in without a problem using a star key (I think they are called). Maybe they aren't actually called rivets but that is what the trailer that we put...
  20. My first box truck install

    Hey, I was just speaking from experience. I didn't think it was that big of a deal. If he doesn't like the input, he doesn't have to accept it, but ProWraps comes off like a prick in just about every post I reply in. I don't care how much "experience" he has, there is no reason to be a douche...
