  1. advice for transporting a daytona/rastek style printer

    i'm loading up a daytona H700 uv tomorrow on a trailer. i'll then be driving it 20 hours back to houston from indiana. of course i'll be decommissioning the printer by taking out the heads, flushing the lines, locking the carriage, etc. and then i'll be covering, cling wrapping and strapping...

  4. Triangle Inks Expired

    you could buy a temporary chip for about $7 each that will give them a new life. each OEM requires a different type of chip. like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/MUTOH-440ml-Smart-disposal-chip-/180840787620?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a1af36ea4
  5. JV3-130SPII Banding issues

    first off, you can have a perfect test print but if you have any kind of air leaking or restriction on your ink supply (unlevel printer, bad ink, clogged head, clogged damper, clogged lines, vacuum locking head, bad cap contact) the banding can appear into the print. prepare a file of four...
  6. JV3-130SPII Banding issues

    that doesn't look like media comp. it looks like half your cyan head is dropping out. send a photo of your test print.
  7. Colorspan 98UVX - UV Control Error - Help

    that printer has konica heads right? when we had our used 16 konica 512 head CET flatbed installed. the heads were clogged. soaking them for a day in OEM cleaner didn't help. i suggested using NMP. we syringed NMP through the heads and they came back 100%. we continued to cautiously use...
  8. grizzily T10687 TRACK SAW with 160mm 56t aluminum/plastic blade. Any one try it ?

    here at this shop i think we should have a cut speed competition. track saw vs cnc. we have a lot of singles like a 40 x 60 1/4" acrylic print. two guys, two prints one guy heads to the cnc the other to the track saw. who finishes first? to me it'd have to be the tracksaw. no checking...
  9. grizzily T10687 TRACK SAW with 160mm 56t aluminum/plastic blade. Any one try it ?

    i've got the ts75 and i like to clamp three sheets of 3/4 plywood together and cut them all at once. festools for all their green/gray euro whatever have very powerful cool running motors. the only tool that i've ever thought was equal to festool is those that Flex makes.
  10. Seiko heads in a 10'6" printer. Need tech.

    take a picture of your head carriage so we can see what kind of bulkhead/valve/cleaning system is on this thing. to me, if the negative pressure was an issue the solvent wouldn't drop from the heads either. i'm not very experienced with these machines ink systems (only been using s subtank...
  11. CET vs. Oce

    our install was a bit of a mess (understatement) and we were too confident so we just said "it's cool, we got it". even though there were a few unresolved issues. our tech was "ice". who is a great guy, ...incredibly smart. so everyone when a tech says "i have to stay until you are...
  12. Seiko heads in a 10'6" printer. Need tech.

    to me that second pump like gadget attached right next to the air pump is some sort of electric/solenoid/regulator. if so, you have an incomplete set up on your machine. of course that part can be manual or attached to the main board. is the pump pulling (you can take off an end while it's on...
  13. CET white ink questions.

    one is you can flush with NMP instead of CET cleaner to do a really great job of cleaning the nozzles. of course, in this thread there's the discussion of using lower pressure which i'm sure you've tried. if you are having issues with white and don't want to mess up prints, you can do a couple...
  14. mimaki jv3-160sp

    believe there's one if the cleaning station panel is off (far left before the cartridges).
  15. Seiko heads in a 10'6" printer. Need tech.

    without seeing this printer, you should have a set of smaller ink pumps that pull ink to the subtanks. then there will be a slightly larger but similar looking pump that doesn't seem to pump ink but air instead. this is the negative pressure pump. look for that and follow it to some small dial...
  16. Seiko heads in a 10'6" printer. Need tech.

    i'd first look for a negative pressure dial somewhere on the printer. printers with subtanks balance pressure to the heads by over weighting it to the heads, then drawing a mild suction at the lines to draw it back into balance. if it is too low then the ink will just fall right out of the...
  17. CET vs. Oce

    i'd love to head the either tradeshow. right now i think mimaki is being mismanaged. the jf1631 was a mess and ended up with post curing lamps, they came out with two expensive printers (latex, and suv). i can only imagine that the jfx would be equally over engineered. ideally the printer is...
  18. developing a design contract

    I'll be working on a graphic design contract over the next week and i'd like any input/wisdom that's out there concerning design fees, fab fees, deposits etc. I work in the art consulting field. And we do (unfortunately) a lot of these "legacy walls". They are graphically intensive and...
  19. Flora 2512

    you're definitely not experimenting with an untested platform. the flora/CET/AOjet are all the same build down to the last bolt holes. anyone with a CET FK series will be able to lend you their years of experience with this printer. and when the warranty runs out, it will won't cost a lot to...
  20. Where can I get touch Architectural films for less than $4/sq ft?

    seems like we are discussing two different products here. the adhesive backed version like dinoc vs pvc foil (like used in a membrane press). if you need short orders of pvc foil, the only supplier that i've found in the entire country is http://www.ssinorthamerica.com/full_line.html as for...
