i have been unable to get a good seal between black head & captop
we have done this lots of times for clients AND FOR MYSELF, but we have a substantial vacuum leak where the head would seal with captop
changed damper, captop (twice) substituted an old, defective printhead. yellow is still...
i anticpate doing quite a few 6x24 sign riders (sintra, perhaps some coro) and i would like to run them on 48x96 komatex
BEING LAZY i had setup a label template in MS word did,a mail merge, created a document, made pdf & scaled so the riders came out
the correct size.
i am starting to think...
Geting rid of static electricity problems printing with the Mutoh is my project this weekend
i posted a few weeks ago & am sure that gino is correct & this (see attached) is caused by static electricity
i will be adding a decent sized humidifier (it will take a week to see a difference there)
i...
we are using
4' x 8' x 3 mm (1/8") | Komatex | White Matte | Rigid Foam PVC Sheet
and it prints like this (see attached)
do i have to order a particular "flavor" to print white background with no bleed?
we order mostly from harbor sales.
we hardly ever print these. a good client got them from us before
a member sold me a few, as i remember.
can print eco solvent or Mutoh MP31
suggestions?
we normally buy from harbor sales, grimco
i have had 2 instances in the last week, where i get overspray printing on 3 mm white komatex with my mutoh vj1617h.
i have never noticed this before but rarely print on a solid white background, so this would probably not show itself
i was given a sample to duplicate from a good client
i took it to be gloss white polystyrene between 0.10-0.20
harbor doesn't have any gloss
is it not made, or does harbor not keep it?
is there a material i can substitute
yesterday i printed about 15 4'x6' 4mm coro sheets
we cut them a few days previous, wiped them down with large alcohol wipes a couple times and printed
all went fine
this morning i am doing a handful of 4'x8' for the same customer.
when i removed the first sheet from the cart, there was quite...
a good friend's daughter is getting married and wants to get some gift bags printed
when we were looking at the mutoh hybrid i saw a fairly lengthy video that showed all the capabilities of this series machine
one of the things it showed was printing shopping bags (like you would get at macy's...
having an issue with our mutoh vj1617h, we seem to fairly consistently have a takeup failure (?)
when printing 3/16 paper faced foamcore
see the picture, this always seems to happen at somewhere around the 2' to 3' point as material feeds
it makes me suspect the conveyor tables i built (lifting...
our VJ1617h is getting cranky
4 new (last week) ink cartridges, just be 90% full
after "shake all cartridges" prompt, error shows C ink low with constant beep, tried putting in old cartridge with some ink in it, changing smart card
still prints fine, what am i looking at ink level flag?
we only print a couple days a week on our mutoh vj1617h, but i wet the captop daily & print a color wheel every day
i notice lately that from time to time the ink will "pull back" and i will be missing a color (normally cyan or magenta)
printhead, captop and dampers were new in january
does...
wondering if anyone has one of these in their junk pile.
started with a broken screw & someone who occasionally works with (for?) me didn't recognize what is beyond his abilities
hoping to get a replacement part, so we don't have to get a welder to fill the hole
i am trying to do a couple seating charts for a good friend's daughter's wedding
they sent a pdf (possibly done in illustrator?)
fonts are not attached, (we can find them) so i allowed flexi to substitute arial, to see how the graphics print
sending to my mutoh vj1617h, i get a rip error...
number 10,000 if you count aqueous & eco solvent
it is a stubborn sob
i am still a stranger to the mutoh hybrid
does anyone have a better suggestion than adding isopropyl to the cleaner solution?
(ecosol i would use acetone)
i have always been a skeptic and figure cleaning & a nozzle check every day is the only thing that keeps print heads in good condition
i read the suggestions to flush all lines, etc and figure it is the next thing to freezing ted william's head, so he can be brought back, in the future
i am...
i anticipate cutting A LOT of small printed numbers (1-5/8" squares) from polystyrene with drag knife
IF I FABRICATE a small vacuum table 24" x 48" how do i size the vacuum pump to hold my sheets?
i know when i look at the specs on a gerber sabre it seems like i could power the east coast with...
is there an easy way to bulk export a couple thousand pdf's as jpg's?
i would like to have a good representation of our work, as a slideshow, on tablets.
