  1. Need Help VS-640 Head dripping/spraying yellow ink

    Trying pulling the Y cartridges and reinserting. Years ago I had an issue with my Roland barfing ink on the prints. Dealer said sometimes you get a cartridge that somehow gets pressurized. I didn't think it would work but it did. May have to do it multiple times though to clear it up. Long...
  2. Converting heat press to pneumatic

    Never saw or heard of a conversion kit. Probably be better off buying one, especially if you have employees. If you don't have employees you could always Frankenstein it. Bimba makes really good air cylinders, lines, fittings, flow valves etc... In my "former life" I installed hundreds and...
  3. Duratex Banner Material keeps bunching up in the middle.

    Is it happening on a new roll? I've had issues with JetFlex bunching up on my Mutoh. After the first 15 or 20 feet it runs fine. I unroll media so there's a loop behind the printer. Something changed with the material as it never did this and now the last two rolls had issues.
  4. HTV vinyl recommendation

    Is there a company in the UK that sells transfers? Then all you need to do is heat press. Much easier and faster than printing, contour cutting, weeding etc...
  5. Background Removal Software

    Tools for extraction are in photo raw, but I just buy the suite as the various tools come in handy from time to time. Photo RAW has a 14 day free trial.
  6. Background Removal Software

    Works well, but watch the videos as it has several different tools and ways to go about background removal.
  7. old d 610 just died after 30 years. need assistance guys

    Too bad the OP isn't closer. I have a D610 that I would sell, but the crating and shipping to VA would cost more than getting something new.
  8. SERIOUS engine trouble....

    Wow.
  9. Background Removal Software

    I use On1. Hardly ever do that type of work anymore so can't comment on what is the easiest with the cleanest result.
  10. This worries me more than Russia...

    Interesting, had no idea that was happening. There will be a definite impact on the stock market. Wonder if it will get to the states and what the response will be? Random thoughts from mu under-caffeinated brain.
  11. what's next?

    Ford Motor Company is on a multi-year path to sell electric vehicles direct to consumers. Interesting how they are going to circumvent the dealer network. It will be called the Model-E division. Since it never existed and sells a "unique" product it neatly sidesteps dealer/franchise...
  12. What kind of computer do you guys run for a RIP?

    Custom built from a local shop. Only time that I was interviewed about needs and capabilities of the new build. Once built they also made sure all software ran without issue. CPU is AMD Black Edition. They don't use Intel. Rig is a few years old but still cranks out the work.

  15. uv printer

    Airflow is key, but I still don't like to stand next to the flatbed. I get it running then leave the area.
  16. Anyone know of any Environmentally friendly print or cad cut vinyls out there?

    Latest Big Picture mag I got had an ad or two for "green" biodegradable materials. Depending on what the spec calls for there are bamboo based papers although I don't know sizes.

    Can't help you. You are asking sign professionals to give you expert advice to cut them out of the picture.
  18. uv printer

    They definitely have a smell when running. You can also smell the "cured" prints for a while. Noise is up there because of the ring blowers used for the vacuum. Speed wise, don't listen to the rep or mfg claims. Bring a beast of a file and demo it yourself. This will allow you to judge not...
  19. Monti Calander grease

    If you still have a container it may have NLGI specifications on it. Or call the press manufacturer if they're still around. Lots of factors go into selecting the proper grease. https://www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/798/grease-selection
