  1. buying a CET, or?

    better explanation of products/substrates: -printing on primed glass (estimated weight 100lb) -registered over printing (artistic washes, combined with digital, need perfect registering for up to five separate passes). many will be wrapped canvases and a vacuum belt will have difficulty...
  2. buying a CET, or?

    my trip to china went bust, and my jv3 is on the fritz during a rush order. so my buyer says "enough, i'm buying you a new flatbed, that's it!" i really like the CET. looks very user friendly, very fixable, very cleanly designed.... my requirements: i print big bold gloppy images, lot's...
  3. selling 2 brand new DX2's (question)

    yup. my gf keeps asking me when am i going to ebay them. here's a link to one that was listed a few weeks ago. http://www.ebay.com/itm/270982662221?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
  4. *$#(@!!! jv3-160sp print just went blank!

    update: -printer acting strangely after cleaning parts. -uni-directional mode causes the carriage to head off two feet too far to the left. -kent with macmedia overnights encoder sensor -no affect -pulling boards, for macmedia repair (hopefully not the power supply instead) -will be...
  5. Homebrew winder and IR heater- 54"

    that's pretty impressive. this deserves official franken-heater status.
  6. shanghai sign expo trip cancelled

    @auto-fx in retrospect, i could have done a lot of things different. international travel is very new to me and it was one of those letting "plan A" go for too long situations. the passport system is set up that if you want a "same day" passport, you have to wait until you are flying out in...
  7. Oce Arizona or Vutek QS ?

    here's the movie printing on sintra http://youtu.be/n0FVhPr8FrM jane, can we get a movie of the print being put through some scratch/peel tests after printing?
  8. shanghai sign expo trip cancelled

    there's another show that kept coming up in my queries about equipment. seems that there is a "sign expo" which is slightly different than the digital graphics expo. i wanted to look at vacuum formers, acrylic edge polishers, membrane presses, cutting equipment, etc. and the OEMs kept...
  9. shanghai sign expo trip cancelled

    sad sad day. after a week of begging my ex' to have her attorney handle a passport issue (long story short, i have had possession of my daughter for 14 months and don't owe child support. but the system wasn't properly updated resulting in a denied passport). so two tickets to china are...
  10. Npr

    it has replaced music in my car. we also have this uber-liber station (kpft) they do bbc reports as well. i'm a bit of a libertarian. i do though get a kick out of listening to extreme far lefties make fools of themselves.
  11. *$#(@!!! jv3-160sp print just went blank!

    once all i had was a single cat hair in the sensor. but that just caused stepping. this is BLANK printing. i'm not sure dirt can cause that. we'll see. hopefully the mimaki gods are off at a picnic when i hit print this weekend.
  12. *$#(@!!! jv3-160sp print just went blank!

    really appreciate all the input. this morning it's acting okay. i'm off to houston to deal with some legal loose ends. hopefully by the end of the day, i'll have a visa to china and i can go to the shanghai sign expo. tmi time! (after a custody battle, i ended up with possession, but not...
  13. *$#(@!!! jv3-160sp print just went blank!

    GRRRR... (and yay). i decide it's time to take out the boards (which i'm dreading) and now it's working. one small observation: the hour that it quit printing , when i did a test print, instead of the *werrrrt... weeeeee* (that's attempted sound effects for the test print then the carriage...
  14. *$#(@!!! jv3-160sp print just went blank!

    well super-kent to the rescue. kent with macmedia contacted me this evening via email (on july 4th no less) and offered his uber guru advice and feels that the boards (slider and main) should be pulled and that he could have them back to me by saturday morning. (kent also mentioned that my...
  15. *$#(@!!! jv3-160sp print just went blank!

    thanks, i'm looking at the service manual to do an encoder test. it's a new encoder sensor (few months). +++++ okay. how does the "encoder test" test the encoder? the carriage takes off quickly to the far left three times. the display reads some 1969.00mm or something. the fact that it...
  16. *$#(@!!! jv3-160sp print just went blank!

    so the printer can zip back and forth because that is a function of a signal to the y-motor. but the heads can get no signal to fire but the firmware not consider that an error? but wouldn't the slider board be "shaking hands" with the heads? without the data cables saying "hello" to the main...
  17. *$#(@!!! jv3-160sp print just went blank!

    i haven't run my jv3 in about two months. i did a full wash of the heads. i booted it up yesterday and it was printing just fine. today turn it on again no problem. suddenly sample print i was printing just drops out. all heads all at once. nothing. doing a test print, the printer goes...
  18. The Power Bill

    all i need them to do is stretch a printer they already make and make some mounts that can meet up to the z-ups and maybe put the main board and servo controllers in such and such a postition. printers are going the way of cnc machines. also, with the new patent law that the USA is putting...
  19. jv3 130 spII - yellow head seems to have issues

    if you print on some clear PET you can see the yellow by shining it in the light. the high gloss of the PET will be knocked down by the yellow ink and appear matte. also, you could put a cyan damper/ink line on that manifold nipple to get a better look at the print performance.
