the franken printer is on hold because my buyer is doing a contract manufacturing deal with me and wants me to put out his and my product from the same shop. this would require a slightly different printer. so now i heading to china with him (at least i hope i am, ...having issues with the...

looks like overspraying to the left. there are so many causes for overspray (ink, static, variable dot issues). when you look closely at your prints can you see any yellow overspray around the print? it's very hard to see in the yellow ink.

i think some pics would be great. there's a lot info conveyed in s photo of what a machine is doing.

just put the yellow damper next to it on the manifold. that will at least tell you if that channel is firing or if you have some odd supply issue. i'm guessing it's a head/data issue. an entire channel doesn't just go blank. it would fall out then disappear. and shame on grimco for such a...

yellow as in a puddle or a built up mist (like constant overspray).

@rjssigns the one i have is a hansen weatherport (weighs over a ton), crazy heavy duty. http://www.weatherport.com/shelter-port/30-wide-two-car-garage (this model) they are usually about $8k (got mine off of ebay for a $1k!). that is pretty damn high. but recently i saw that the same style...

i have the 1600 sq ft of havac blowing cold. but surprisingly i'm really enjoying my new outdoor 1400 sq ft tent. it's white (a heavy duty quonset hut style) with a double thick osb floor. the lighting is great because the "ceiling" glows, the breeze passes right through. and i live near the...

when you do the damper swap, does the black channel perform fine at the new manifold position? if so, i'd ignore anything above the manifold. that said, you could have a clogged or cracked manifold. the captop encompassing all the channels makes it difficult to isolate a bad vacuum to a...

reverse printing has an advantage over forward/top prints in that it forces all the platelets of metal powder to lay evenly against the smooth factory finish creating maximum reflective angle.

i believe epson is a company in decline. canon will have their solvent printer out soon and as the years go on, the idea of "permanent" heads will lose out as legacy buyers jump to new tech. now if the thermal head oems will just go with a straight media path design then you'd have the perfect...

there's a bunch of 600mm ones here. http://www.alibaba.com/trade/search?SearchText=swing+heat+press&IndexArea=product_en&fsb=y

does it come with the 380v transformer?

all i do is corporate and imo it's too fun. a commercial buyer is looking at four things between two meetings and won't want to wade through pizazzy transitions. all the real time typing and spinning graphics...it's very busy. also between the diagonally rotating slide show and the (kind of...

you have a couple options to keep the head safe. one i'd set it in a low dish filled with cleaning solution. you'll need this here and here over time. dx5s are a bit big but i figure you could go to a walmart cooking section and find some kind of bowl. for dx4s i use a cupcake pan and bridge...

keep the faith chris! the videos of the ultra 9000s on youtube show that this printer can be very dialed in. i'm especially curious about the proprietary fuzzy dot tech that is discussed in their literature. that one video of it printing one pass at 700 sfph seems like a real money maker...

i'd get a set of dx5 dampers and put them on one head. do a bit of testing. i'm not sure of their advantages but certainly they are more complex/developed than the dx4. maybe all those channels and reservoirs do something special? keep us posted for sure! also, is there enough ribbon to...

i think i kind of fixed it. i found the sensor test in the maintenance manual. the first test is "set lever". you can set it "on/enter" or scroll down to "off/enter". basically this acts as the firmware override. i searched for this like nuts when i first got the printer. gave up...

witcolor discusses in their literature a proprietary dither called "random fuzzy dotting technology" specifically running low pass prints. trust me on this. if i go to china and all i see is squeeking, jiggling, banding, pausing, non-curing printers, ...i'll come back and report that it...

we are at a tipping point guys. currently the chinese strike fighter is better than the US's strike fighter. and that is why i'm going to shanghai myself. i know what to look for, no different than picking out any other piece of equipment. currently chris190 has got his dual dx5 chinese...

i really appreciate all the input. i don't want you to think i am debating this. and i'm aware that if a seal or a heating element... whatever... isn't working. i will have to step back fix it, the whole time remind myself "this did cost $3800...not $22k" for each device. but knowing ahead...
