  1. Panel Saw Kit (that works!)

    i love that jug of water!
  2. CET FK512 color profiles

    caldera is the only other rip that can work with a CET FK512. i had some conversations with them. it's not terribly seamless. caldera rips, then a .prt is sent to the printer via a windows xp utility? .... not sure. i am still astonished at how, not just bad, but horribly laid out onyx...
  3. CET FK512 color profiles

    still no reaction from the flora profiles. starting to wonder if it's because they don't work or we just haven't figured out onyx production house yet (i despise this rip. it is laid out in the most nonsensical way).
  4. CET FK512 color profiles

    does anyone have some color profiles for a cmyk (no lm lc) for a CET FK512? (running onyx production house) i can have my color guy three hours away build me one mid next week or go buy an eye1 (sp?). but for now i just need to get some samples out and i am no longer running lm lc. in the...
  5. $100,000 flat bed recomendations

    i doubt you'll need the Q series. the heads in that machine cost a fortune ($4500 each?) and they don't lay down a thick layer of ink. you will get for more than enough resolution at 720x720 and you get a lot better looking product from a thicker ink lay down.
  6. Flatbed Printer First Buyers Advice

    i'd give it about $10k+ for install. maybe $15k. you'll need proper power, a line conditioner, freight, rigging, ink, software. please get an exhaustive maintanence kit. that is a mistake we made. these things don't like to be unplugged. tubes get rigid when empty, you'll need line...
  7. Flatbed Solvent Printers

    ntek makes a really attractive dual dx5 flatbed.
  8. Printing on metal help

    double strike, also called overprinting. somewhere in your rip will be the option to overprint described in some way. the printer will print 2 to 8 times over the same point before advancing. the CET strangely triple fires instead of making consecutive passes. maybe this is the same for all...
  9. LIMAC from China

    that can happen in a bit. we are slammed down there (90 miles from home) with getting all this set up before a huge wave orders come in and there's not a spare second.
  10. LIMAC from China

    one modification that we don't have but the new machines do have is the table/gantry leg max width is now 62 (approx). our's is 60.5 causing a piece of 5x10 mdf to need to be trimmed to under 60.5 (stock 5x10 mdf is actually 121x61). all in all it's a serious consideration to pause before...
  11. LIMAC from China

    we are using it right now. knocking out pvc prints, doing 3-d carving, aluminum. what will come in the future is an opinion of how it handled a double shift day of constant cutting. other things: we are really liking the cold air over the cutting fluid set up. never going back to cutting...
  12. LIMAC from China

    i have half of an update so far. keep in mind we are setting up a large shop and installing lots of equipment, along with hiring, training, and designing. the limac hardware (table/gantry) is very nice. we have an "R" series that is actually about a year and a half old (bought unused)...
  13. need help "slicing" a 3D file in Enroute

    there may be some great visual tips on how to construct this thing once you get the slices right in the grasshopper galleries. http://www.grasshopper3d.com/photo/img-2291?context=latest http://www.grasshopper3d.com/photo/light-screen-1?context=latest...
  14. Printing on Styrene

    we've got a product that can be printed on white polystyrene or white pvc board. the margins are tight so i'd rather go styrene. i was told by my operator that the adhesion isn't very good on the styrene. that seems odd to me because styrene wouldn't strike me as a difficult surface. is...
  15. fb910 / 9840 cyan heads

    can you change your voltage with this printer? looks like the jets are firing just not getting the right bump.
  16. Printing on metal help

    black pigment when thinned down will usually have a warm or cool cast (has to do with the type of black pigment). if it's transparent or brownish, that's just because it's too thin of a coat. bump up your density or to a double / triple strike.
  17. need help "slicing" a 3D file in Enroute

    if the dem is importable in a 3d program (like rhino). i'd just import it and boolean the part into the slices. then just export the curves to dxf.
  18. secondary tank not filling (varnish) CET FK512 ...work around?

    no the tank has a pump that fills it, then the head runs off the secondary. someone must have gotten back with my operator. he said he was to just unplug the level sensor. looks like we are good until we can diagnose it further.
  19. secondary tank not filling (varnish) CET FK512 ...work around?

    update. i've just been informed that if i don't get a sample for a large order over nighted, we have a big problem. even bad ideas are much appreciated. thanks!
  20. secondary tank not filling (varnish) CET FK512 ...work around?

    our varnish secondary tank light won't show "full". it's run for 5 minutes with no result. we have a spare pump on delivery but we need a quick work around. can a head on a CET FK512Z (16 head) be turned off in the firmware to allow us to get printing? we've got a lot of crucial stuff that...
