I've just picked up a JV33 as a backup to my CJV30. I'm going to run the same inkset and profile it the same as the other machine. Would like to be able to print to both at once, but can't see how. I know VPM will output to 2 machines (or more) at once, because I can print on the Mimaki and cut...

As the title says - I haven't found a definitive answer to this yet. What are my options? Does Signlab 8 run okay in Windows 10? 11? I have new hasp drivers ready for my purple dongle, in case that gives me trouble. I may get a new PC with Windows 10 or 11 - or I may keep this PC and just...

Been using Signlab 8 Print & Cut on my Windows 7 OS daily for years. I like Version 8 - I'm comfortable with the UI and the workspace I created - but mostly because I make my own profiles for printing through VPM. Now my Win 7 computer is telling me it won't be updated anymore, so look like an...

CJV30, started it up and noticed one black channel completely out. No worries, it'll come back with a clean or 2. Nope, nothing. Swapped the cap top for a new one. Confirmed getting good suction. Several hard cleans, lots of ink coming through but not one nozzle showing on that channel...

Hi all - I have the go ahead for 3 Toyota Hiace vans plus one Hilux ute/truck. Part of the design is to wrap the top section plus the roof as per the design attached. (I've blocked out the branding) The vehicles will be outside all the time, so I'll be using solid color vinyl instead of...

Hi all, just about to order a new desktop computer - will be doing everything on it except gaming. So, designing in Signlab, some Photoshop, ripping big files... as well as the normal daily stuff. The build will be Intel Core i7 4770, 16GB RAM, 250GB SSD, 2TB HDD. Will the Intel HD 4600...

I have a CJV30, and here in Australia they were available with "Eco-HS1" inks, which is sort of in between ES3 and SS21 I believe. Anyway, due to them not selling much of this ink, Mimaki have decided to discontinue it. So I'm now forced to switch inks. Most users it seems are opting for the...

Hi all, as the title says my cyan has decided to not print at all out of both channels (2x CMYK). The last thing I did was print a large run with some pretty heavy blue coverage. I installed a new cart half way through no problems. It finished the run perfectly. 2 days later I go to print...

Any other Rasterlink users out there? I actually don't use it myself- primarily. Having looked at it thoroughly when CJV30 machine first arrived, I, like many others, was unimpressed with the print quality. Being that I've made my own printmodes and profiles in Signlab, I happily use that...

As the topic title says, I've just had new frimware installed on my CJV which will extend the expiry date on cartridges for up to 6 months. This is obviously in response to people complaining about getting ink with short expiration dates and sending them back. Apparently now when it shows up...

Been toying with the idea of changing my FC7000-75 to load the media from the front. It'd be easier for changing rolls and for spooling out the vinyl by hand, which I sometimes do instead of pre-feeding a certain length. I just tried cutting from a sheet using the "ROLL 1 FRONT SET"...

Is there an easy way to get this machine to do a cross cut? Whenever I cross cut the vinyl (which is every time I cut something), I have to: 1) manually advance the material about an inch (or else it will cut right on the edge of the graphic), then wait a couple more secs for the machine to...

I upgraded the firmware on my new FC7000-75 from 1.01 to 1.52 and now every time I try to do a cross-cut I get a "Y POSITION ALARM" when the carriage presses up against the bar on the left. Anyone else encountered this? Any ideas how to overcome this problem? I don't have the old firmware to...

Hi all, I have an old Summa d620 and want to upgrade to a cutter with reg mark sensing. A supplier here sells Graphtec and they're getting in a batch of FC7000's. They have a 5100 on the floor that they want to move, so they're gonna cut me a deal on it. Now both of these machines from this...

Hi all, I've just signed up after lurking here for a while. I have participated in a few other sign forums and would like to throw my hat into this ring from time to time. A little about myself....well I'm 44 and have been in the sign trade since I left high school in 1977. I started work as a...
