  1. Graphics Question

    Good Morning, Agriculture is my background and very proud of it. If you do not like the graphics supplied by the owner, get yourself out to the farm and take your own. You know what you are looking for, don't leave it for someone else to do. If I needed to do that for my customer, you...
  2. How many one man shops are there? How many things do you do?

    I also am a one-person shop. Focus is embroidery, but also heat press vinyl and digital printing. 4 years ago, I moved 150 miles from NY to PA. Both were small towns. Yes, I have had to start all over getting new customers and several old customers still have me decorate items and I...

    jambobird, I finally figured it out. It is "FEED" I asked a tech and here is the answer: The "View Feed" in the machine setup is only as an on off option. Laura - aka - Aunt LuLu

  5. Mimaki CJV150-160 Vinyl Waste Between Executions

    Good Morning, I tried exporting the file as a TIFF, it opened perfectly in Rasterlink6. There is no "Cut Line" file. Is there a step I am missing? Laura
  7. Using RasterLink6 wondering what format file I should use

    Good Morning/Afternoon, I use Corel Draw X7 for creating artwork, that I send to a Mimaki CJV150-75 for printing & Cutting. When I was trained on the printer, I was instructed to "export" to EPS or PDF for printing/cutter as per the trainer (Dec 2019). This has worked well - so I...

  9. Rasterlink6 is giving me grief....

    Took a break for about 1 1/2 hours, turned off machine, shut down computer. When I stated again, the same issue. I deleted the file from Raster Link6 and opened it. It worked fine. I circled in red the problem. This value was put in by Raster Link6 and I removed it from the job that...
  10. Rasterlink6 is giving me grief....

    Hi folks, Started off to a great start this morning. Began with printing some stickers with my mimaki printer using raster link 6. Then I switched media to printable heat press vinyl. Only slightly different widths, and yes, I measured the width of each run before anything with raster...
  11. Heaters too high or pinch roller pressure not right?

    Thank you to everyone. All of your info helped. What is did was lower the temps on all 3 heaters and move the pinch rollers for a more even space. Then reprinted what I needed to do. I did not want to damage the new print head as it is new (3 1/2 years old). There is so much more...
  12. Heaters too high or pinch roller pressure not right?

    Afternoon Folks! Just replaced the head,& dampers on my Mimaki CJv150-75, went to complete an order today, and received a head strike. Not what I wanted. Attached is a picture of the vinyl in the machine. It was caused by the vinyl bubbling up under the pinch roller #2. My...
  13. Help Rasterlink

    I have had that. My thinking on it - file began as SVG, in Affinity Designer I placed a graphic into the design (it was actually a shape of a dragon fly). Copied and made several shapes. Resized all to what I wanted. Exported as an EPS or PDF (not sure what I used) When I opened...
  14. Blurry print, can it be fixed

    Morning Folks! Want to thank everyone who chimed in with help. Hubby and I replaced the dampers, but the end result / fix was getting a tech in. The machine needed a new head- it delaminated, new cap top and the tech did some flushing on the yellow line, black ink was in it. We could see...
  15. Blurry print, can it be fixed

    Thank you, I will admit, I can do better at maintenance. Must make a rule "NO MORE EXCUSES" for me not to do that. Humidity in my shop - probably on the low side this time of year. Located in northeastern PA not really spring, so we still need heat from the furnace. Also just changed 3...

  19. Niagara Falls

    Maid of the mist boat ride. As you board the boat, you are given a rain poncho. You go as far to the falls as you can. When hubby and I went the water spray was extreme - so extreme I had to take off my glasses. Love it. There is also "cave of the winds" Stay after dark and see the...
