  1. RIP Computer

    We run a Dell Precision T3600 Xeon E5-2670 processor with 64gig RAM and 1tb SSD. Video card doesn't have to be much. RIP is CPU and RAM intensive. We drive 3 printers and 2 cutters through Flexi, VW5, and VW6 all at the same time. No lagging other than normal RIP times. This unit is an older...

  3. Banding on dx8 printhead

    Im at a loss. Maybe someone with more troubleshooting experience will chime in.
  4. Banding on dx8 printhead

    HMMM It looks like ink starvation somewhere in the system. You will have to check everything from the cartridges to the capping station. Are the dampers full when a print is started? If its happening anywhere from 2 to 3 feet into a print that would say to me that the damper is not drawing ink...
  5. High school graduating banners with pictures

    Lower your resolution like Solventinkjet said. I would probably save them at 72 ppi unless I saw stepping in the diagnal or curved hardlines then I would up the resolution till everything printed smooth. Probably no more than 125 ppi.
  6. Banding on dx8 printhead

    Ink starvation. Try slowing the head down. Or run it uni directional. What dampers are you using? Is there enough room between dampers for them to pulsate and draw in ink without pushing on the opposite damper?

  8. Applying Stoneguard

    Dont use dish washing soap. Change to a mixture of baby shampoo and water. In some areas we will pick the film back up and use 70% IPA to make the film stick faster.

    I would use 180 on it and maybe primer 94 the edges.
  10. Florida Sign Contractor Law Change?

    I wouldn't mind the state license "IF" it cut out the city registration and fees. Every time I turn around we are having to register with a town. But even if a state requires a license with the intent of streamlining everything and not forcing contractors to register with cities, the local...
  11. Window Perf and Laminate

    ONLY use optically clear laminate. 210 is a horrible choice. Several brands out there, we use Avery 1360Z.

  13. chrome wrap

    He can do all the chrome deletes he wants! F' a bunch of that. I wont do them anymore. Managing customer expectations can be difficult. And we don't like doing redo work. 99% of the time is customer damage, but they never admit to pressure washing the car.
  14. Routing grooves in 4x4 wood post

    just set the depth short and ease it in using the fence to stabilize the cut. Then you can drop it full depth and make another pass.

    We run 2. One at our primary location and one offsite. We use a backup software that does comparative file check and only updates the slave NAS if the file size is larger or date is newer.
  19. HELP!! Roland RF-640 Print Head

    I would check the mist pad. Sometimes they bow upwards when they get soaked with ink. Weird its only half the head. That uses a DX6 head with all the channels on one head. Check and find whats rubbing the head. Then soak the head overnight by clamping the drain on the cap top and filling with...
