Does anyone have a good source for roll paper and BOPP labels, preferably in the North East? thanks!

I'm looking for a 54" cutting machine to supplement my Mimaki UCJV300... Preferably Mimaki with ID Cut, or potentially Graphtec/Vinyl Express if the price is right. Tri-State area NY NJ CT thanks!

Does anyone here have experience with Flexi or Onyx on a Mimaki UCJV300 with white and clear? I print white and clear very often, and also find good CMYK color matching with Rasterlink somewhat challenging, especially without being able to create custom profiles. I have a bunch of workarounds...

hi everyone! I'm looking for one of those media stands/rolling stands that used to come with hybrid UV printers to load flat media. I don't think anything is available for my particular machine & short of building something from scratch I was wondering if anyone has something like that sitting...

What does everyone use, especially for very long cuts that have to be accurate? Do you prefer a knife and a straight edge, or a cutter/trimmer on a stand?

I'm running an older i5 Dell with 8GB of RAM with the OS from an SSD with Rasterlink for my small Mimaki UJF3042MKII, which is perfectly adequate for the size etc. The machine also drives my 24" Summa cutter with no problem. Now I'm in the process of adding a larger machine, likely a...

I'm about to pull the trigger on an Epson S60600 - I have never owned a solvent printer before. What is the (daily?) maintenance procedure and how involved is it? Thanks in advance.

HELP - What's the procedure of changing clear to primer on a Mimaki UJF 3042 MKII? I've had my machine for nearly three years and it's been pretty flawless. Turns out, I almost never use the clear varnish and the print quality of the clear isn't so hot either. Now I'm thinking of switching the...

I recently got a hold of a Graphtec FC4500-50 flatbed. So far, so good & I'm getting a hang of the machine and menus. It's clearly showing its age, but it all makes sense somehow and the machine does the job. I ran into an issue & I have a question that someone here might be able to answer...

The discussion is as old as stone and I generally give my customers files if a.) a good, i.e returning, customer b.) it's good practice and I generally charge a design fee anyways... Here's the new-to-me (34 years in this industry FYI) scenario... A new customer had a fairly involved t-shirt...

hi all – I have generated quite a bit of business with small-ish run custom contour cut stickers and labels. Some printed on a Xerox, some printed on a Mimaki UV machine, all OPOS registered and contour cut with a Summa D60. Works a treat and is pretty damn accurate and satisfactory. EXCEPT -...

While I have access to a large router at a friend's shop, it sometimes seems overkill to just round the corners on aluminum dibond signs. I'm thinking a corner die cutter might do the trick? I really only want a small corner to take the sharp edge off... I have something like this for paper, but...

hi all – Last year I invested in a small Mimaki UV flatbed printer and the versatility and reliability of this machine is insanely good. Scratch resistance and outdoor durability is extremely good and I have created a lot of small batch contour-cut stickers in tandem with a Summa cutter. So far...

hi all – this forum seems to be the best place to ask about a good contour cutting machine... I don't need a huge machine, as I own a small format graphics shop and I don't really need an all-in-one print-and-cut machine either, as I hardly do any large format printing, or wraps, or signs... I...

hi all – I have subscribed to the forum email for quite some time & I always find the questions and answers very informative. While I'm not really a sign maker – I do mostly small format letterpress and digital printing, die cutting and UV printing – there's a lot of overlap in equipment and...
