<big>''' MIMAKI Printing Instructions '''</big>'''

=== Anatomy of the Printer ===

The printer has two main parts, the flatbed and the head. The flatbed is where you will place whatever
you will print. It is 594x420 mm (A2) The head is where the nozzles that give out the ink are.

 
[[File:Mimaki.jpg]]
 
[[File:Flatbed.jpg]]
 
[[File:Head.jpg]]
 

=== Material and dimensions ===

What material are you printing on? What are the dimensions of the object?
—> Do not print on mirror-like materials, they will damage the printing head. Materials that absorb
liquids are not ideal <—

=== Prepare and bring your files ===

Bring your file on a usb stick. You need to know what the dimensions of your image are at 300 dpi. Download it on the computer. Open the software.

=== The software ===

Once the program is open, click File – Open – Your File (dragging it to the software does not work)

 
[[File:Software 1.png]]
 

=== Select the file. ===

 
[[File:Software 2.png]]
 

Click on the General print button (alt+g) here a representation of the flatbed will appear. You can place
the image in the same spot you will place the material on the flatbed. Making sure the dimensions and
position of the image in relation with the material on the flatbed is crucial.

 
[[File:Software 3.png]]
 
[[File:Software 4.png]]
 

You can add special layers by pressing the Special Plate button (alt+p) here you can create layers of
primer, white color, gloss finish, on the whole image or in the parts with valid pixels. This is only done
when such finishes are required.

If you did create a special plate, there will be other files created next to your original one, to work
with them together, select them and click the Composition button (alt+m) organize them and
click on merge. Usually primer layers or white should be on the bottom, Gloss finish on top.

 
[[File:Software 5.png]]
 
[[File:Software 6.png]]
 

Click on the Execution button (alt+x) Make sure RIP and Print is selected and then click start.

 
[[File:Software 7.png]]
 

=== Placing your material on the flatbed ===

On the flatbed the material needs to be placed and secured properly, so it doesn’t move while printing.

 
[[File:Material on flatbed .jpg]]
 
[[File:Material on flatbed 2.jpg]]
 
[[File:Material on flatbed 3.jpg]]
 

=== Print ===

Click the REMOTE button and the printing should start.

== Prepare the file ==

=== Illustrator file ===
* Create an Illustrator file with three layers. The top layer will contain the images for print, the second layer needs to contain the vector lines for the vinyl cutter. The bottom layer is for the crop marks.
 
[[File:PlotterSafespace.jpg |700 px|none|center]]
 
[[File:Layers stickers.jpg|700px]]
 
* Add the crop marks, select the bottom layer and click the crop mark button in the Roland Cut Studio plugin (Window>>Extentions>>Roland Cut Studio). Three black dots will appear in your file. To adjust the position of the crop marks, click the roll menu in the right top corner of the plugin.

=== Print the sticker sheet ===

* Save your Illustrator file both as .ai and .pdf. Save the pdf file without the cutlines.
* Now print the PDF file at the Print Studio on matte or shiny canon sticker paper (A3 and A4 sizes are available). Print it on 100%, do not scale. Preferably print on the Canon C600i for a more saturated and higher quality result.
* Stickers can be also printed with the MFP printers by selecting the multipurpose tray and the "Labels" material. Make sure to feed the sticker paper upside down - with the red logos on top.

== Prepare the machine ==
=== Piece Settings ===
* Turn on the Plotter and choose the "PIECE" setup to cut stickers. Then press enter.

=== Insert the media ===
* Feed your print to the vinyl cutter by putting the sticker sheet from the front. Feed it vertically and make sure it is placed underneath the white marks.

* Alway make a test in the corner before cutting by moving the knife and pressing TEST for 5 seconds. If the force is too strong, change it in the menu by clicking FORCE>UP/DOWN(to change the gf value)>ENTER>MENU. The suggested force for sticker cutting in 40 gf.
 

== Prepare the file for Cutting ==
=== Roland Cut Studio Window ===

* Open your .ai file on the iMac.
* Make all the layers visible - not locked - in the file.
* Select the cutlines.
* Open the CutStudioPlugin by clicking on the Illustrator menu Window>Extensions>RolandCutStudio

[[File:Window extensionstickers.jpg|700px]]

=== Cut marks recognition ===
* Click the Crop-Mark button in the Roland Cut Studio.
[[File:Cropmarksbutton.png|500px]]
* Click the Output Selected Lines from the small curtain menu - see image below
[[File:Selectlinesbutton.png|500px]]
* Output your job by clicking the plotter icon. First, the vinyl cutter will search for the crop mark in the left bottom corner, then the other two.
[[File:Output paths final.jpg|500px]]
[[File:Final cut.png|500px]]
* Now the plotter should look for the three black dots on the sticker sheet and then start cutting the outlines.
 
[[File:Cropmarksrecog.jpg|700px]]
 
* Sometimes the first crop mark is not found. In that case, change the position of the knife and give it another try.
* If anything goes wrong, press the PAUSE button on the plotter.
