of course you are right, and he should talk them into doing it the right way. it is hard, however to talk a customer into doing it the right way, when the right way is the part of the job that sucks, and you would rather not...

do mimaki's have an automatic firmware update?

yes, the kids love to ride one of those down to the bottom

i have probably BOUGHT 20 printers. they sell VERY SLOWLY even a perfect one takes forever. consider the time value of tripping over the damn thing for months

We went crazy making electrolytics much smaller in the late 1980’s. the caps would leak electrolyte onto the board, and EVERYTHING ran hotter because of the ripple. we got a bit smarter in the way we produce electrolytics. I only use my ESR meter once or twice a month now, but it is still a...

It’s so simple, it only detects 1 kind of fault, but, since we started making electrolytics so much smaller, they generally fail only That way.

the reason i suggested my 30 year old ESR tester is you just look for meter deflection good capacitor meter swings to the other side bad capacitor almost no deflection 10 second in circuit test

we have had intermittent overspray that we have finally (i believe) eliminated stopstatic.com was an incredible help (although not the complete answer by itself) we added static discharge cord as well as 3 ionizers

add a dehumidifier (or 2 depending on theme size of that area). add a commercial humidifier for the winter. why the extremes at both ends of the spectrum? is the problem no insulation? I am surprised you don't have terrible overspray when you have static problems

i wonder if the inks are mixing or diluting or if it is just the translucent properties of the inks

i am of mixed feelings on this certainly a printer that is kept busy EVERY DAY is much less troublesome and certainly the more agressive inks are more trouble. WHY are so many printers programmed to stop in the middle of a print to do a cleaning if it "is time"? as i have said air bubbles...

I think A LOT depends on what temp the office sits at (and what humidity ) during off hours. if you are still climate controlled it is more forgiving. a healthy cappingvstation with a perfect seal also helps. do your inks ever PULL BACK leaving air bubbles or gaps in the ink lines? I worry...

one of my favorite topics 2 years ago, my wife had a serious health issue hospitalized for quite a while, and still at this point, unable to walk unassisted i have spent practically no time i the shop for the last 2 years. we print sporadically EVERY DAY run 1 manual cleaning cycle. i print...
