  1. subsurface printing

    optix DA acrylic is a non-stick surface for the most part. it needs an adhesion promoter. if you are in a pinch doing small projects (photographic) you can get away with using Bulldog adhesion promoter. but it is nothing compared to the high tech coating on optix da.
  2. Slate Pro.....................

    there's no copyright law against doing a project, free or otherwise. this isn't a request for the font, just a favor.
  3. Mimaki JV3-130II issues.. yet again.

    business card (white), flash light, and magnifying glass for inspecting. if you want to locate dirt with a print, make a print with two pixel vertical lines ever one inch across the platen of the printer. maybe 3" x 54". there will be one vertical line that jumps over and is fine from the...
  4. Hydrograhic Printing - Anyone know the ingredients for Part "A"

    way way way .... wha???? i don't know anything about this system at all. but any activator "B" that is Lacquer Thinner and Xylene is not an activator at all. it's to soften an lacquer such as CAB or possibly nitrocellulose (most likely not). for whatever it's worth, i'd get away from...
  5. Chipped ink when routing

    I suggest pre-cutting the parts as well. But that procedure has certain issues like possible over spray on the edge, cleaning the parts so they are flatbed ready, a lot of labor if there are many parts plus registration issues. Before going this way, you may want to do a few tests with...
  6. clean/remove oxydation from bare aluminum

    aluminum is semi-porous. my assumption is the crystal formations in those areas have been altered deep enough that you might never get them "off the surface". they are in the metal. is the goal to skin them with a vinyl? if so, you'll still want to neutralize that spot with a very thin...

  9. Parting out JV3, Need to retrieve ranks on the new heads in the printer.

    will do. need to grease up the rail and dust it off a bit.
  10. Parting out JV3, Need to retrieve ranks on the new heads in the printer.

    I've decided (my gf actually) that it's time to part out the JV3 160SP. Before I went another direction with my business, I'd just put three new dx4's in the printer. They were from a Epson 10,000 head assembly and strangely had Mimaki ranks under layers of other ranks (roland and mutoh). I...
  11. H700 past owners wisdom needed! print heads/nothing jetting

    Well this repair is getting worrisome. I really need any tidbit of advice or past observations on this one from current/past H700 users. There's no way where I am (shutdown for the year to reorganize) that I can switch printers or throw money at the current 1000lb paper weight. It simply has...

  15. H700 communcation issue

    does anyone have any experience installing firmware on rastek equipment? I believe the next step is to reinstall. But don't know how. I found three things on the pc that came with the printer. files: EFI_Rastek_H700_Onyx7.3 and F1_180UV_BA_CA4_PN.116-0378-012_v.1.4.0.2 (20090619) and an...

    been working on the printer. Nicky of AOjet has helped me so much. checked J17 continuity from the print head control board to the multifunction board. with Nicky's recommendation. he also suggested waveform settings being wrong. he may have located the issue. on my printer/rip: the...
  17. Will your CET flatbed or any of your flatbed printer prints wipe off with alcohol?

    unless digital acrylic is used, you are always risking the ink falling off. acrylic is a "non-stick" surface. if you are in a pinch and printing stuff that can tolerate minute differences in output (scenery) you can mist with bulldog...

    UPDATE: put on a new USB control board. the little green light did light up. finally. as soon as the printer began to run the file, the light went off. restarted the printer, the light remained off. __ anyone with an H650, H652, H700, could someone check the behavior of this little...
