b-300/310/500dn/510dn all use the F1899010 epson head (water based) stylus 4400/4800/7800/9400 all use the F160010 (water based dx6?) this is the same head as the R2800, and R2400 are shown to use on some sites as well. the epson 7700, 7900, 9700, and 9900 use the epson F191010 (the new TFP...

or buy a compatible head from a reseller for $1k, 8 dampers for $10 each, and a fuse then pop it in the best you can. if you having issues calibrating the head, you can always call the service tech to come by for calibrations only.

you could screw them from the back to a heavy piece of mdf to hold them down flat until they are printed. i wouldn't try on something larger than a 2'x4'.

concerning this little dx5 debacle, just like mimaki and the like put chips on the carts and we ended up with a permanent chip solution, there will be some company that will unlock this mystery and offer a non-OEM dx5 plug for your print head. where there's a dollar to be made, capitalism will...

oce isn't upgradable. after you get any flatbed printer, business will pick up more than you expect. you'll be wanting that thing to blow through orders as fast as possible.

i'd question a technology that "shakes the ink in the head". white ink has heavy minerals (rather than pigments). they settle in the line like plaque and solvents of any strength have no effect on them because they are insoluble. maybe it works better than nothing at all. but, ink should be...

for a CET? or any flatbed printer. ebay has some cheap ink pumps, filters, and such that work great.

tekra is my favorite source for industrial films. http://www.tekra.com/

it would be even more expensive if roland would use pure butyl carbitol. instead these printer oems use fillers to get away with the minimum requirements. butyl carbitol and acetone is a miracle cure for your printer vs the oem stuff. plus you can paint the cap tops and wipers with it and...

we just have a right lamp go out. i am going back the styrene with brand new lamps on the left and right to see if i was just not backing the ink on properly.

what the hell. alcohol! that caused condensation at the head thereby coagulating the pigment/solvent. butyl carbitol mixed with acetone (4 parts BC two parts acetone)

i think we all should thank epson for causing the tens of thousands of dx5 printers to become obsolete over time even though they are still printing perfectly.

you're discussing router bit, spindle speed, move speed combinations. most every cnc can cut perfectly with the right (expensive) router bit.

if it's a new head, i'd suspect vapor lock or the carrier fluid wasn't fully purged and now you have some condensated/coagulated ink in the head. in the case of vapor lock, pull a vacuum from below the cap manually. the pumps won't be strong enough to overcome the empty nozzles. in case...

are you using a syringe to get the ink to the dampers or using the pumps to pump the yellow? if not, insert a syringe into the damper. turn the damper upside down and pull ink into the damper so that it fills up the "top" by flowing down. when it's 75% full flip the damper right side up and...

are you getting yellow ink to the heads? if you pull ink into the damper with a syringe, then pull that ink through the heads below (pump line or waste line) does the ink come through? if not you may not be getting a seal at the yellow cap. jv3's have a cammed capping station that work decent...

track saw. it's the only tool that can do the "don't try this with a table saw" which is often what is needed in sign making vs cabinetry an construction.

i like getting tubing on smallparts.com they are set up for guy that needs a small amount and have most every grade and size...

on the subject of printing on glass, i'm doing some research over the next weeks for printing on glass. one new glass primer that i just found on the internet was a marabu coating...

no. the polycarb chemical would not be worth it. if you can figure out a light solvent that just opens up the polycarb for 30 minutes then that's all you need. i've worked with polycarb in another coating process and the lab guys that helped me develop this one coating never said to get some...
