  1. Other options for lightweight, large banner?

    So, we've been doing 15' x 30' banners on 13oz banner for many years for an indoor sports facility for their sponsor banners to hang on their walls. They've asked if I have any other options that would be lighter weight and asked about fabric. I typically sent these banners to Signs365 or...
  2. Head height adjustment on Valuejet 1604

    So, I can't be certain "why" your head has dropped. For me, I replaced bearings because it was causing a noise and/or was affecting the smoothness of the carriage going back and forth and causing EO74 Current errors. Once I replaced the bearings, all was fine. If you can slide your carriage...
  3. Head height adjustment on Valuejet 1604

    So in my experience, I have only replaced the stationary bearings which basically snap in and out and the bearings slide on and off their shafts. FWIW - these are the only bearings that have gone bad on me, and I've swapped 3-4 over different machines. The bearings on the "spring" clips top...
  4. Head height adjustment on Valuejet 1604

    If your bearings are that worn, why not replace them? I did it once on my old 1604 and did it another few times on my 1624s. Not a terrible task, but certainly not a walk in the park either. I had replaced my whole carriage assembly and used some the old (but good) bearings from it. I...
  5. Summa F1612 vs Colex SXC1717

    We've had our 1612 for almost exactly a year. I honestly can't imagine life without it now, it's such a great little machine. The interface is fairly simple, you can create your own custom cut settings for whatever material and whatever tools and have it ready anytime if you do a lot of repeat...
  6. Question UV flatbed recommendations?

    Stratojet makes a 4x4 flatbed, might just be the ticket. We are considering their 4x8 machine and remembered they offered a 4x4. https://stratojetusa.com/shark-1212
  7. JFX200 Owners

    I don't own one, but I'm in the same boat as we are considering our first flatbed and Mimaki was one that I was considering... From what I have learned, the Mimaki prints very nice, the parts are common enough and there is enough user base that most problems have been solved or figured out by...
  8. Workflow software, what works for you?

    No, we are currently using Trello - it's been working for us, but would be nice to have options to tweak it in different ways.
  9. Workflow software, what works for you?

    I think we all look for the "perfect solution" for job/shop organization. I agree that a custom built software would be ideal, but how many of us are that tech savvy?
  10. Discussion Choosing the right 60"+ LAMINATOR

    Seal seems to be a good name, and well built, but I have never owned or ran one. We have a GFP 563TH and its been pretty good, big improvement over our US Tech AK-600. However, for the life of me I can't get it to track straight as much as I'd like. When I do get it right it is fine, but...
  11. Summa F1612 - Vacuum recomendation

    For any kind of foam I would strongly advise looking at the EOT knife instead of using the router - i would think that would make a huge mess!
  12. Summa F1612 - Vacuum recomendation

    We are running a Dewalt shop vac with ours, works great, no issues so far after nearly a year of use. (Although we honestly route more on our dedicated CNC) If you plan on routing a lot, I would strongly suggest putting up a dust curtain of some kind. We bought a kit for our cnc table that...
  13. Summa frame made out of wood...?

    Our F Series has the standard router, the HF Router is like a $10k upgrade...not worth it IMHO. I have used our router to cut polymetal, PVC and 1/2" MDO with no issues. Besides we have true 4x8 CNC table to cut heavier materials when needed. We love this thing, we find new things to do with...
  14. Colour change on VJ1604

    Was the panel particularly heavy on a certain color or shade of ink?
  15. Durst buys Vanguard!

    ....As part of the agreement, the new company will operate as Vanguard Durst Digital Printing Systems with effect from October 1, 2020. David Cich remains CEO while Jim Peterson continues to serve as Vice President of Sales.
  16. Durst buys Vanguard!

    Wow, just as I am researching a Vanguard printer, I run across this! https://www.piworld.com/article/durst-acquires-majority-stake-in-vanguard-digital-printing/ Congrats to Dave and his team at Vanguard, I guess they were doing it right enough to get Durst's attention.
  17. Taking the next step in printers...

    Global Garage is the best place to go for big equipment. For smaller stuff check the marketplace here, also Digitsmith has a good forum as well. Lastly, check ebay and Craigslist - I always use Searchtempest to search Craigslist, it's so much easier and covers more regions.

    Patty, on a 1204 you should be able to leave the head parked on the capping station and attach your syringe to one of the drain lines - or both if you have a splitter. To my knowledge you shouldn't have to have the machine turned on with a 1204 - it has no subtanks like a 1604 or 1624 with...

    Hmm, that is confusing as both the rep and several videos show the EX outperforming the regular 2513...assuming this video is using the same profile?
