First post, hope it's posted in the right spot.
My sg2-300 is just over 3 years old. I've kept it clean and kept up with general maintenance.
It recently started printing horizontal lines over my prints, and over test/nozzle prints as well.
I have power cleaned, manual, checked everything that...
Just assembled our new Gfp 350 TH. Super excited to start using it but currently stuck on a setup step. This could totally be a bonehead user error thing, many of these GFP components are new to me but I'm currently stumped. The groove doesn't line up with the opening of the cradle that the...
We are located in Los Angeles and our supplier only has poly/cotton. Need a roll ASAP and a supplier on call, since we will be needed more in the future.
Thank you!
Hey guys! So recently I was doing some maintenance on my VP300I as one of the manifolds for the head were broken on the damper for yellow. Like a idiot, I disconnected the ribbon cables to the head while the machine was still "On" it was in sleep but it went right over my head to properly turn...
Hello,
Our shop has been having a lot of inconsistencies with our Mimaki CG-160fx. Some of the issues include, the blade will not lift up all the way and drags through the vinyl, sometimes the plotter doesn't cut the entire file or cuts too deep or too shallow. Also, we have encountered the...

We got an old gerber with an old windows XP including flexisign 8, i've been printing a few meters with the edge but i definitly find it hard to set and i've heard that Signlab pro with the thermal module allows to produce a lot more than the flexi software in a much easier way.
Does anyone...
So we know you can sandwich paper poster prints between two pieces of acrylic but is there a better file or type of vinyl that may be a better solution? Something that has a higher surface energy that holds on to the acrylic a bit when its being installed?
I frequently have clients asking for...
So yesterday, Tuesday February 1st, i printed pretty much a full bed of sign faces (file attached) on a sheet instead of pre-cut pieces as sort of an in-house test. Well once all the faces were printed and cut out i went through and inspected them and noticed 18 out of 27 faces had what looked...
Hey so I've has the 800W for a few months now. I gotta say that I'm not sure how much I really like this thing. I had a L570 that we replaced with the 800W and at first i thought it was a nie upgrade but I have been getting crashes at almost 5x the rate and I absolutely have the new take up...
My company recently bought a Mimaki JV300 160 Plus to upgrade from our struggling Roland XJ640. We run a bulk ink system with third party eco-solvent inks from Easy Inks in Germany. Our agent didn't inform us of the chips that cant be turned off on these new printers so now we have come to a...
Hello, I've had my Mutoh Valuejet 1324x for about 4 years now and I'm having some issues, hopefully someone can help. I had issues with the ink flow, but I replaced the cap of the maintenance station and fixed that issue. I also replaced the wiper. Now when I print, it starts off good then fades...

So I set the roll up then line it up well and clamp it down and it does the minimum load procedure. after that I click Media Size> Roll > Set...
Hey everyone! I am looking for some help on applying vinyl to ribbed metal siding. Local school is wanting their new press box fully wrapped or just decaled. I was thinking of using cast vehicle wrap but honestly wasn't sure how it would perform with the ribs. Anyone ever done this or have any...
