Thanks for the responses. The guy who applied the vinyl was outsourced (different city from ours) and was complaining. After several calls, and a trip, we discovered it wasn’t vinyl fault, but poor audacity cleaning (I didn’t even ask that, since, it’s vinyl 101, or, even before 101 - clean...

Well, it’s says cloud version “insert machine name I dont remember”. Maybe is as you said :/ I will try to make through i1profile or profile maker, in tandem with Flexi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hello! So, we use FlexiPrint Productionserver to RIP to our flatbed (Chinese 3x2m Ricoh Gen5). So far, so good. Most media, with default profile, have too much ink (oh so I think). I’m regularly create profile for other machines (none use Flexi) and it’s relatively easy. You print inklimit...

This morning, on IOR 190gr paper (printer paper) Pretty much perfect (the artifacts and green are from upload) This paper can absorb a lot of ink compared to other media Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh sorry. I thought you mean leveled as in not crooked :D Well, we mostly used for pvc foam and coroplast. And both there is the problem. If I print in acrylic, with white under/overcoat, I can’t see any glossbanding like this, but, it’s a very very different type of material. In PP there is...

Spot on leveled. Did it when installing, corrected after 3months (because it is on vinyl floor, and it might changed) about 2°correction was needed. Checked again on January (about 7months after first install) and leveled :/ At least, that’s what my ruler say, and, what a line (tensioned between...

Ink is completely dry. If I lower the UV power, it doesn’t do as much gloss banding, but, it does ver tacky, enough for grease from fingers to stay on print. I cleaned the encoder, with a towel paper (that doesn’t leave fibers) and pure water (I think its the name.. the one without any minerals)...

There is a diference between 100% Key or rich black, but I don’t remember what was worst :/ When I say linearize, it’s really in the sense of creating the profile from scratch. I do have and i1 (old one) but it can do the trick. Or is there another method to limit ink? I use flexiprint as a RIP...

I do have overlap settings, called eclosion (super eclosion is the max (like a 80-100% feather). Does not help :( Recommended to use about 70% power for UV lights (traditional, not LED). No help. More power, also no help, less power (like 50 or below) removes banding, but ink is “sticky” to the...

It does on most materials, just some are less prone to notice. Did print some box prototypes, on Metsaboard (about 1mm paper, common on food package) and does the same thing. Also, some times, it does weird banding like ink starvation (example, green splash does some magenta gloss banding weird...

Hi there! We have a nobrand (or, Chinese Brand) Flatbed UV 3x2m, KC x2 and MY x2. Definiton/quality, it’s actually pretty good, no complains whatsoever, other than Gloss Banding.. more noticeable on PVC Foam and high gloss cardboard.. (pictures below) I’ve tried everything from uno-directional...

Actually, just noticed I have too a “pile” of pre COVID printed vinyl.. like things that we printed daily and all of sudden didn’t go away ahah But was actually asking because of some vinyl for Sandwich panel, that was not sticking as good as on the first test run :/ Sent from my iPhone using...

Hi there! So, we mostly print with ecoSolvent, so, I ask about that. We printed on Polymeric vinyl only (currently APA vinyl), but also used Oracal Avery and Hexis on the past.. My question is: if I print and laminate something, can the vinyl loose some characteristic before applying? Like it...

Hi there :) So, humidity wise, we work at 49-52 (we have an HVAC System ( I think this is the name) and air conditioning to maintain temperatures are 22° and humidity ate 49-52. We also print on digital printer (Xerox style, but a Konica Minolta) and it's very picky about humidity. Machine has...

Hi there! So, we bought a UV Flatbed printer (not going to name company for now) from China, with 3 Ricoh Gen 5 Heads (CM, YK, W) and it kind work good for most substrates. Paper, acrylic, no problem. The problem is PVC foam boards, and that's what we mainly use it for! Cyan color starts to...
