  1. Streaks through the print >>> WHY???

    also, remember your heat and ink load relate to the speed of the print setting used. higher resolution (more passses) will require lower heat because of longer dwell time per inch. if you have sped the print up for this job but not changed the heat setting, you are dealing with a shorter dwell...
  2. Streaks through the print >>> WHY???

    lines like that are usually from too high of ink load for that particular color. in your rip, there will be some "ink limits". i'd read up on the (or maybe youtube) and get an understanding of how to get the right color with the least amount on ink down. it can also be caused by improper heat...
  3. Regarding Signs101 forum, one thing I've noticed is.....

    imagine for a moment if there is no, and never was Signs101. all these past years, you are on your own, calling other local sign shops, bothering distributors with overly technical questions, calling techs in to "repair" human error-zero parts needed issues, not feeling the connectivity in to...
  4. H700 rookie needs help (voltage/wave/set)

    YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ROCK! i feel reborn! thanks!
  5. How long can a 1204 sit without printing and not have head dry up?

    if it won't turn on to run the pumps, at least pull some ink through it at the base of the capping station with a syringe. this will introduce new ink into the head. if you have some clear refillable carts, you can mix up a batch of solution, pull it through the machine at the dampers with a...
  6. H700 rookie needs help (voltage/wave/set)

    bumping/update well it did a test print (bad) again. no scary error windows. the only thing i noticed is in my manual it instructs to hit "apply" before "ok" and closing/restarting. i don't have an "apply" in my window. is that an issue? ___ i'm really dead i the water right now. if...
  7. Ag logo.

    beautiful. maaaaaaybe curl the tips a bit less? maaaaaybe tie the dark greens off around the logo to make is more graphic/less realistic? really not much to critique. very slick.
  8. H700 rookie needs help (voltage/wave/set)

    tried another test pattern and now this. see attachments.
  9. H700 rookie needs help (voltage/wave/set)

    CHAPTER II i looked at each head and they have the AL# scribed on the side facing the operator. in my earlier screw up, i believe i accidentally set all the heads to AL1 and hit "Set". so i entered each AL# (AL5's, and AL6's) for each channel hitting "set" each time and hit "write" when done...
  10. H700 rookie needs help (voltage/wave/set)

    i'm clicking around in my parameters and see that heads can be "disabled" (great news for a guy that hacks printers). i must have clicked the wrong button and now my voltages are the same but a "change config state' set of boxes is checked/unchecked and my "wave" is all at "0" causing my test...
  11. Roland SC500 Print Heads

    http://www.fraudwatchers.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-56323.html at the prices listed, printheadsite would be the single world/planet source for print head purchasing and S101 would be all over it.
  12. Galaxy UD-251LA Printer (Epson DX5 problem)

    +1 those little rectangles represent when a head suddenly cuts out. a solid/darker one is when all the jets fire regardless of what the rip has requested. so there's some data connection issues, maybe it's just a loose ribbon cable, or worse, ...ink inside your data port. and yes, do one...
  13. Roland SC500 Print Heads

    i believe that is a well known fake site. i may be wrong. it's been around for a long time.
  14. Galaxy UD-251LA Printer (Epson DX5 problem)

    there's definitely a lot of data issues in the photos that you just sent. is this what it has been doing all along? or since messing with the voltage? ink starvation will not distort the actual print.
  15. Frustrating overspray Help!!!!

    do you know how to to data swap at the slider board? if the new head is doing the same thing, you'll need to look further up the data line to the cyan port on that board.
  16. Bringing a CJ-500 back from the dead....

    well i'm assuming that the cj500 is an eco-solvent conversion from back in the day. i'd do some research before loading the new roland ink. the older rolands were conversions. the cartridge piercing area and the manifolds of the heads were not able to withstand full solvent ink. so check...
  17. Bringing a CJ-500 back from the dead....

    the "cleaning carts" from back in the day didn't have a chip or any sort of ID. i pull out the ink carts. now unhook the pump line from the cap. put back in the color carts. tell it to proceed. the printer will click along but not be pulling ink. then it will think it's done. pull out...
  18. setting up an EFI H700/DAYTONA H700/ F1-180uv-BA

    okay. i'm figuring this out. but still confused this power supply is to the "add on" negative pressure pump that was added to these machines to provide vacuum to the heads when the printer was off. (we always just left our CET on and had the head temps set to a cold setting). i'm assuming...
  19. Hello everyone, the problem with the Mutoh Spitfire

    also, a slow draining waste line can also create a siphon/pulling on the ink after a cleaning cycle. 1. cleaning cycle 2. ink trapped in the caps due to clogging keeps ink fluid attached to the bottom of the heads 3. this create a positive chain linking the ink cartridges to the caps 4...
  20. Need printer recommendation for printing on Zinc modules, terminal blocks,Overlays

    you may have been to the inkcups.com website. they seem to do everything. i'd consult them for solutions. because they do everything, they won't be compelled to "talk you into" a machine that isn't perfect. plus they do production jigs.
