  1. Perf Cut Decals Curling

    I’m having issues with my laminator. I laminated about 20 meters roll-to-roll and then cut them, but they are curling very strongly. Could the pressure of the laminating rollers be too high, or is the brake on the print and take-up roller too strong? It’s a cold laminator. The film used was...
  2. Only rip and print selected design

    I updated to Flexi 24 and since then, I have the problem that when I have multiple designs on one page and select just one design, then press RIP and Print, it wants to print the entire page with all the designs. With Cut/Plot, it works fine, as it only processes the selected design. I can’t...
  3. How to Laminate with a roll laminator

    So far, I've been working with a manual cold laminator, which has always worked great for small prints. Now I've bought a large automatic laminator, the EMBLEM Easylam 140C, since I often want to laminate from a roll or work with large sheets. I could use some tips for perfect laminating with...
  4. PVC banner production

    My neighbor approached me asking if I could print a banner for him to put up on his construction sites. Here in Germany, it's called a PVC construction fence banner, which is secured with grommets and ropes in a frame. Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with this and would have a few...
  5. Epson s40600 Manual clean notification

    I am wondering if my Epson S40600 notifies me when I need to manually clean the print head or if I have to do it myself every week. I've had it for about a month now, and so far no notification has appeared.
  6. Need Help with Printing High-Quality Button Designs

    I need to print small round images of a designer's artwork for an artist. She uses them to make buttons. The images are 4x4 cm in size and are not vector files but very large pixel graphics. However, I can't achieve a good print quality; it always turns out very blurry despite being set to 4000...
  7. Flexi feed media back after cut

    I usually use Flexi only for print and cut jobs, but today I tried using it just for vinyl cutting. The only thing that bothered me was that after the cut job, it cuts the vinyl but doesn't retract it. It stays right where it was cut, leaving me with 6 cm of waste when i start a new job. I've...
  8. Epson S60600 & S40600 Technical Service Manual

    I wanted to share the service manual for the Epson printers S60600 and S40600 with you :) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1OlR4YKls-MQmkpS-5Ssl_Ylwn3Q8Mv_o
  9. Epson S40600 Questions

    My Mimaki CJV 30 has served its time, and I'm looking for a new printer. I have two Epson sublimation printers that cause the least problems, so the S40600 has caught my eye. I mainly print stickers and posters, and not a lot—perhaps two 50-meter rolls per month—so this printer is sufficient for...
  10. Your cutting speed

    At what speed do you have your summas cut at full speed or rather slower? I cut everything at 500 mm/s
  11. DX5 Manifold broken

    This is now the second time within two months that the plastic housing of the print head has broken directly at the screw connection, on both sides on the left side. Initially, I thought I had screwed the head on too tightly, so I ordered a new housing, replaced it, and screwed it in minimally...
  12. cjv 30 heat settings

    I have a Mimaki CJV 30 and the prints are a bit grainy. I use the Oracal 3164 film. Do you have any recommendations for which heat settings should be used? Currently, I am using 35, 35, 40.
  13. S2 screw comes loose

    I always have the problem that after a while the screw on the cutting knife (the razor blade to cut the vinyl off) comes loose, which of course causes a rattling noise even though I always turn it really tight. Does anyone have a similar problem?
  14. Flex Cut cutting line

    We're currently doing a lot of flex cutting with the same designs and I'm wondering how I can use flexi to create the flex contour so that it matches exactly with the neighboring line so that it only goes up and down once. I've attached another picture to help you understands what I mean
  15. CJV 30 Adjust Fine Y Bi

    I replaced the head and am trying to adjust it what I don't understand is Fine Y Bi is the dashed line supposed to overlap with the solid line?
  16. Import EPS with Cut lines to Flexi 22

    We previously worked with Corel, using the Summa plugin, and all our print and cut data are ready in the CDR format. In Corel, the cut paths are stored under the "Kiss-cut" layer. I can export everything as an EPS and open it in Flexi, but I find no way to manually change the paths to a cut path.
  17. S2 Kiss Cut and Die Cut in one pass

    Is there a way to use different blade strengths with GoSign in one pass, for example 50g kiss cut and then directly a 150g die cut 10mm offset? Unfortunately, I have not found a function for this.
  18. Sticker for exhaust

    A client of mine manufactures motorcycle exhausts and wants to apply his logo as a sticker on the exhaust. I know from well-known brands that it's a type of aluminum-coated sticker. Does anyone know how they are made?
  19. CJV30 slide back automatically after cutting

    I wonder if there is a function for the mimaki, like summa has, for example, that automatically moves the media back to the set position after cutting it off to have as little waste as possible and since it is very annoying with the mimaki constantly the role to drive up again after cutting off
  20. Cutting Software Summa

    I'm looking for a cutting software for my Summa S2. Currently, we are using Corel and the GoSign plugin, which are not optimal for us. We mainly cut pre-made designs, which I have already adjusted to the foil width. It's mostly the same design, but I have to select and cut the corresponding...
