Thanks - I was told the BN20 has a generic 95º heat so should suffice for smaller bits? Also on the regular BN20 I’ve seen people using a secondary magenta and also a flush cartridge there in the 5th position. Would a flush cartridge be configured via the software so it doesn’t draw anything...

Yeah, I know the pitfalls of it, we have a CJV30-130 which is used once or twice a week.. if we keep on top of cleans etc it behaves. Also got a CJV30-100 which is used a lot and we tend to run into the same issues across both machines just as frequently really. We have an 8 colour Canon with...

Ah right, a lot said 720 but having looked again it does seem like 1440 is an option. It's the speed putting me off it at the moment. I am swaying to Mutoh. None of it can be outsourced, and sometimes work is done under license and it has to be done here for a few reasons beyond our control. I...

Sorry meant to tag a reply onto this. Couple of questions then I suppose: a) The machine when we get it won't be used an awful lot, couple of times a week I guess (it's more for custom one-off jobs), which I know isn't brilliant for any printer but it is what it is. I assume the wash...

I have done a bit more reading, the BN20 seems painfully slow but good quality. I've also seen the Mutoh ValueJet VJ-628 after a bit of scouring (and thanks to the above posts) which seems a bit more efficient. DPI seems lower at 720dpi vs a lot of the 1440dpi machines though. Maybe I'll have...

Thanks for the comments. We have a CJV 100 and a 130, but space constraints and a second office where a lot of the smaller custom work is done, is the reason behind the need for a much much smaller desktop machine. We regularly need to just print an A4-area’s worth of something and it’s...

Hello! To completely simplify this query, I am looking for something as small as possible that'll print good quality CMYK onto small sheets or rolls of vinyl (polymeric/cast etc), Solvent or Latex I guess would be fine. We regularly make single/one-off domed badges or vinyl prints, and using...

Yeah, nothing stopping me doing that, guess I didn't want to keep having to test time after time and not having the correct figure for where the measurement should be. When plotting stuff up to a metre ish, generally it's ok. Seems to mainly be this 1172mm piece. Anyway I'll plot this on a...

Right, found a Distance Compensation setting buried on the tool settings. Giving that a go now. It plots a 1000mm sheet out and you measure some bits up and re-input it, and it recalculates. Just done it, and now re-plotting the 1172mm sticker it as we speak. Doesn't seem to have made a...

Yeah that is what I am hoping. Just done another, high pinch settings, 1172mm (x 60mm deep) comes out at 1178mm again. I have used the machine for years without issue, this is by far the biggest "cut only" without mark detect I've done. Like I said, I cut 1000x1000mm decals quite a lot with...

I have cleaned all the rollers and grip bar with IPA just before your first reply, and checked the pinch rollers again, looks like I can further increase the pressure on them so will run another test again now. Missed that the first time! Cut is actually 1172mm that it needs to be, and was...

Thanks. I just tried cutting the 1150mm length anyway again, made no difference. It's 5mm too large. That's with the media coiled out to save drag too. The pinch rollers were actually set right, I had adjusted them for a 3-pinch roller job, but it was back to using 2 high setting pinch rollers...

Thanks, I had inspected them prior to this and they seem to be good condition - in the scheme of things this plotter has had an easy life, although I did notice the pressure is unevenly set on both rollers. Surely replacement is a little extreme, no? Nothing else is out, only this 1150mm length...

Hey, We've got an old but bulletproof Mimaki CG100-SR2 plotter, and recently we've noticed the cut length is varying from what it should be, when cut from the feed direction. It's an old machine but very reliable and has paid for itself thousands of times over, so it still graces the studio...
