  2. setting up an EFI H700/DAYTONA H700/ F1-180uv-BA

    my printer does not currently have two white heads installed. but it does have an old white ink bottle along with the W2 and W3 pumps. i've unhooked the secondary tank ink level sensor at the carriage board for W1 but i'd also like to have the W2 and W3 not run until i get white heads...
  3. setting up an EFI H700/DAYTONA H700/ F1-180uv-BA

    to anyone that has this sort of printer (H650, H652's may be the same), i'm installing a daytona H700 and have the power run. everything seems fine power-wise. then i see this power supply inside the ink tank area that seems to go to the ink control board with a chord to itself. is this...
  4. Need printer recommendation for printing on Zinc modules, terminal blocks,Overlays

    do you have any schematics of the parts and some renderings of the types of imagery/logo and serial numbers you plan to print? flame treatment may be an option forgot about that, also there's plasma treatment. plasma/corona treatment can render a non-stick long chain plastic printable. the...
  5. Galaxy UD-251LA Printer (Epson DX5 problem)

    the most important thing about leveling is that you are level from left to right. it looks like you are level that way. your printer does look to be unlevel front to back. these printers are gravity feed with the ink being pulled by it's own weight down to the head. the ink chain's length...
  6. Need printer recommendation for printing on Zinc modules, terminal blocks,Overlays

    possibly. polyamide is a non stick surface. there are some very high tech companies out there that make advanced adhesion promoters. they can cost as much as $1000 a gallon. but for your purposes the gallon would last forever. http://www.reltekllc.com/adhesives-for-nylon.html also is...
  7. Need printer recommendation for printing on Zinc modules, terminal blocks,Overlays

    there is this belief that UV ink is magical in that it can be printed and cured immediately. the worst issue with uv inkjet is it has terrible adhesion. most inks have a chance to "bite" the surface in some way. uv ink is cured so quickly that it has very little time to wet out. wetting is...
  8. Need printer recommendation for printing on Zinc modules, terminal blocks,Overlays

    you are in luck in that you don't need to manage a large machine. what is the budget that you have to invest. there are many small uv printers that range in price. how much time do you need each part to take for printing? is this random data/print info? or the same over and over again. if...
  9. Galaxy UD-251LA Printer (Epson DX5 problem)

    ink running from the caps back into the dampers (or are you sure that it's not just falling down into the waste lines) is a sign of negative pressure inside the lines. this can be caused by the printer being too low on the ink supply (cartridge) side. all the colors dropping is a sign that...
  10. Frustrating overspray Help!!!!

    overspray has a few very cheap ways to isolate. 1. do a test print set to variable dot, then same test at non-variable. if the non-variable dot print is clean vs variable being oversprayed, your head isn't printing the the tiny dots. i once had a brand new head that could not print the...
  11. Galaxy UD-251LA Printer (Epson DX5 problem)

    i had a chinese dx5 in my studio for a bit. it was a pretty cool little printer (actually it was big). first is the ink dropping out in all colors on one one color at at time? few questions. 1. have you moved the printer recently? if so is the printer level. too low of a cartridge...
  12. Installing a new dx4 head

    i got a batch of dx4 heads that had and epson # on a sticker, under that sticker a roland #, and then under that sticker a mimaki# on the last sticker. they were stacked perfectly looking like one single sticker (also shows there's no such thing as an OEM head). check to see if you are lucky...
  13. Logo Critique

    i.e. this is the logo from my failed partnership $600,000 spent...one single square foot of proprietary substrate produced. (i was warned not take on partners). i digress. the company was to be an architectural panel manufacturer. the "F" is to somewhat resemble the corner of a building...
  14. Water not ready warning on jf1631

    ...sorry if this is a bit of a thread jack... i have toshiba heads in a daytona that i'm installing. i read that it asks for deionized water (aka demineralized water) and glycol (antifreeze has glycol but seems like a strange substitute when straight glycols are available). does the mimaki...
  15. silicone or construction adhesive, which is better?

    tried to google ms35. is it made by quilosa? http://www.glueguru.co.nz/product/725/
  16. Production house x10 Gerber Solara UV2 Install files

    do you have a second monitor that can be plugged in? when a pc sees two monitors, it will see them as a composite resolution for window placement. after plugging in the second monitor, go to screen resolution, drag one monitor very high compared to the other or rotate one 90degrees. doing...
  17. Logo Critique

    @rjpjr this version is extremely strong. well done.
  18. Production house x10 Gerber Solara UV2 Install files

    i'm curious about not being able to scroll down far enough. if you can solve that, wouldn't you be good to go? Q: are you using a loaded rip pc that came with the printer but a different monitor causing a window dragging/resolution issue? or perhaps the orig monitor was an extended desktop?
  19. Color Dropping out Dillemma

    does the black fail when swapped to the cyan or magenta position? you may be swapping lines but putting properly balanced/primed lines to that black manifold. you'll need to see the black fail elsewhere to isolate "above the capping station". also, do you have an alternative black cart'...
