Hello everyone! Can anyone recommend a reliable, honest, service company for the HP Designjet 8000s? I know air is getting in the magenta line, but everyone we've had come by has tried to sell us their cleaners, tell us we're not maintaining it right, etc. Long Story short, no matter what...

Thanks Everyone!!!:U Rock:

Greetings all, Our hp designjet 8000s is acting up. We have a new magenta printhead in it, but after a while the magenta will fade out on a larger print. We've replaced the ink and the printhead (and the print quality improved immensely when we put the new printhead in), but the magenta...

What I think I'm going to do... I think I'm going to have a company out of Tampa who does super wide format print the logos on what they call "Celtic Cloth" and then have them cut and sew to a triangle shape. The client will just have to pay for the cost of us not being able to reuse.

Hello All! My boss wants to me "temporarily" brand (i.e. put logos on) some spandex material. They're basically spandex sails in a triangle shape. In my experience, cut vinyl and printed vinyl doesn't stick well to spandex. I recommended shining gobo lights with the logos onto the...

Hi, I need to print a large volume of award ribbons (10,000 - 70,000) :omg: and we have the material (sateen). But I need to know if mass production of the printing (probably 5,000 of each phrase) is possible via screen printing, or if there's another technology that I need to look for. I...

Hey Everyone, Our Mimaki JV3-160SP is 6 years old (we bought it used 2 years ago) and it just giving us problem after problem. :banghead: Now it looks like the controller board may be bad, and I just don't see us dumping the money into it. I have a lot of Roland dealers around, but we won't...

Hey everyone! Just had this happen to us, but not sure quite the cause. Whilst docking itself this week, the printhead carriage on my JV3-160 made a loud noise and "bumped" into place onto the capping station. I soon thereafter discovered that my yellow printhead was not printing through the...

ColesCreations, thank you very, very much for your posting. I was able to save two inks in a pinch!

It's Alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Tried to post this yesterday at 5:30pm EST, but the site went down and I couldn't post- thankfully I saved the text) First off, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you to you all. Repeated nozzle washing brought Black & Yellow...

harbor freight It looks like most of the cleaners at harbor frieght use... water??? How does that work? I don't think we can submerse these things. Has anyone done this with any of the harbor freight cleaners and, if so, what steps did you take?

Soaking heads? I read one post somewhere (it's not under Mimaki) about someone putting a coffee filter soaked in cleaning solution over the capping station and letting the heads sit on that for 30 mins. Anyone try that? The 45minute nozzle wash did bring back some more of the head, so I'll...

Okay, quick synopsis: Last used the printer about 2 weeks ago. It worked fine. It doesn't get much use this time of year. Started to print a job and had nothing printing. Have done two 10 minute nozzle washes and gotten some of them back. I have most of my black, most of yellow, some of...

Mimaki Chopper, I purchased a used JV3-160SP used Triangle System on it. It had issues during shipping and took longer to get here than it should. By then, the heads had dried out because there's no way to flush the lines with the Triangle Ink hooked in. When I called the original vendor...

Moving JV3 How far are you moving it and how long will it be unplugged? We purchased our JV3-160SP used and it took 3 or 4 days to ship. The head wasn't locked down, the printheads & lines were left with ink in them and... well.. let's just say that over $5000 later, we're back up and...
