maybe too much coffee? we here are all pressed for time to get through every work day. respectfully, ...maybe condense your needs into separate threads over time.

+1 do you see ink coming through during the fill ink cycles in the cap? if not, i definitely on pulling from the waste line vs the menu. when putting back a dx4 head you can very often get vapor lock and the head will not pull ink strongly enough. also there's the usual suspects like...

tempered glass and acrylic cost about the same. standard glass is basically free compared to all clear substrates. depending on the fabrication, you could use 3030 acrylic (that is if the edges are exposed). it will give the build an authentic feel. as for shipping, i've seen many...

yeah. the infrared thermometer is very accurate. i don't remember if the difference was plus or minus 1 or 1.5. but generally, you still have an equation to work with. i just point it at the ceramic heat plate and you've got your number.

i've had to dial my printer in with some odd settings for custom inks. i went with taking temp at each head with an infrared thermometer to get specific temperature for an individual head during printing without having to go to the firmware each time. this might be an option if your firmware...

nothing suspicious on the heat. it just stops. tons of head cleaning doesn't bring back one single nozzle. then it's back and printing perfect. maybe it's some kind of data thing. i think i once did a data swap at the ribbons and the head still didn't print. maybe some kind of on board...

i've had white polystyrene laying around the studio for ten years and it's not yellowed or shown any sign of changing. clear styrene, i've heard, is not uv stable. but as for the white stuff it's just cheap white plastic and if not out doors, should outlast it's intended purpose.

don't have that printer but do have those heads in my printer and occasionally an entire head will disappear. i usually just turn the printer off, come back ten minutes later and it's back. once it was gone for a half a day then suddenly came back. not sure what the reason is but it's...

no. you'd need a coating that can quickly absorb the solvent load of the ink. i used to spray substrates with acrylic lacquer to print ecosolvent onto various substrates. it doesn't work that well. ecosolvent ink is designed to sink into the media a bit to lock the adhesion if the ink...

this roll to roll flatbed is a major new design that is all over alibaba. i believe it's primarily made by mtutech (CET, Flora, AOjet, and Rastek based technology) and licensed to several other builder/distributers (Crystech, Sunfiner, Yinghe, and Uranus, etc)...

most likely a trade nickname for polyisocyanurate. it is a spray foam website. NMP is the same solvent that is used in the HP latex ink. it reacts much differently to cured polymers. standard solvent softens polymers but then just leaves them as a sticky substance. NMP seems to break...

nmp - http://www.sprayfoamnation.net/product/AC-250830-1 oem - original equipment manufacturer (stock oce stuff) the tube that carries the waste ink from cleaning cycles to the waste tanks. your waste drain tube may be made of something different. i just replaced mine with a polyethylene...

you mean, banksy is exactly the same. i wouldn't want to be the blek guy. and if we all respect shepard fairey for his tireless nights with his design team vectoring his fingers to the bone, we'd also be wrong. his company was preceded by a company called fuct, shepard just lifted numerous...

as for the "art", banksy is not an artist. an artist develops his or her own look over time seeking to avoid redundancy in the art world. banksy's style was simple lifted directly from a lesser known earlier graffiti artist named bleck le rat. google: blek le rat...

if you were a woman, and wanted to pretend to be a man. facial hair (fake) would be one of the first things to consider. it's most likely a woman. i don't think anyone should care much either way. why? because that is the goal of "cult of personality" crap that the art world insists on...

there are countless articles discussing the details of what i scratched out in a sentence or two. banksy may be a man, but it is more likely than not, that banksy is a group of women. and it would be just the perfect performance piece in the end that this famous "artist" ended up to be a...

banksy is a women banksy is most likely a group of women (possibly three to five, art company ala jeff koons) that act as one single character. if you study the work (which i hate) and look at the videos you can see that it is a woman under the baggy sweats and hoody.

clear styrene exists. the lenses in commercial fluorescent lighting lenses are made of it. very difficult to cut. it's the cheapest clear plastic sheet out there.

i bought a used flatbed with horrible heads (toshiba ca4w) and successfully cleaned them with NMP. the oem cleaner was doing nothing. that said, it melted the drain tube. but the heads had no problem with the NMP and had no compatiblity issues with the ink.

we were instructed by CET to replace seven heads after our used printer sat in a crate for months in the heat. a night of soaking out of the machine in oem solution did nothing. syringing NMP in to the head cleaned them up in minutes. we later used NMP for our everyday cleaner with no ill...
