  1. Using a Tracksaw to cut Diabond

    also bosch has a track saw but no dust collection. i'm about to knock down a bunch of 3/8" acrylic. and i can't imagine the mess i'd be dealing with if all that ended up on the floor. a track saw and a panel saw are not the same. yesterday i joined a frame a bit catty cornered. i was a...
  2. Using a Tracksaw to cut Diabond

    yeah that's the one. as far as dewalt vs festool. i'd maybe go dewalt for a couple reasons. cutting on both sides of the track. you can really get some serious speed out of this tool. after an hour it will seem like you been knocking down substrates for hours. but always making sure your...
  3. Using a Tracksaw to cut Diabond

    i like the combo of the short and medium. put together they equal about 109"? if you do constant long cuts ebay many times has the super long tracks. i get the cheap ebay $18 ts75 blades for abuse (thick aluminum, wood, mdf). but i have a sacred $135 triple chip that i only cut plastic with...
  4. New chinese crate inspection company

    yeah i did a bit of sunday reading. lots of change out on the street. epson is selling crates of dx5's to china without ink sales commissions while, roland, mimaki, mutoh have to pay up. mimaki has abandoned epson for ricoh. and on top of all this latex is about to replace the low end with...
  5. Necessity is the mother of invention?

    i'd use a heavy duty corded drill at 450rpm. for a full 4x8 it's more about low speed and torque.
  6. New chinese crate inspection company

    chinasigns now has a chinese printing equipment inspection/agent service. it does not have to be a chinasigns product. there are new chinese printer reports now on the web along with fespa updates (flaar). it seems that astarjet, and micolor are making some solid equipment. along with...

    high end interior multi-media/signage/art/digital mixed media. it's just me and my girlfriend. i can hire help but everything is so specialized and it rarely goes right or the same way twice. most of our projects retail for $360.00 a square foot. so it's very stressful precise work...
  11. mimaki jv3 sp stripping

    that is an odd pattern. print blocks of single color (cyan block, magenta block, black block, and yellow block). see if you have universal drop out and or a single channel is an issue. also as mentioned, do this test in uni-directional and bi-directional. it looks like the striping is...
  12. Mimaki JV3-160SP collection of PDFs & Tutorials in one place

    design a test print of a large block of single colors (c m y and k). if it's ink starvation, you have to isolate which channel. also, please move this to a fresh thread.
  13. Come take this piece of junk

    large format printers are going the way of the cnc router. with all the vast firmware code and mass producing of linear motion parts, they are going to get cheaper and cheaper. today's japanese $25,000 printer will be coming out of china for about $7000 as quality improves. they are...
  14. Vinyl Express III 72" eco solvent

    i'm paying $115 per liter for jvs. anything over $135 is just out of the park. i'm not the guy to answer any ink questions. i'd figure whatever can be run in a jv33 would be okay. but don't quote me on that. i'd ask wit-color.

    the maintanence manual has a very simplified drawing of the main board and then bread downs of each section of the main board. do you have all the documentation for this pritner?
  20. Error 7, machine down machine down

    as far as the switching ink sets, don't do it the way the manual explains, it's extremely wasteful. clean out the ink lines by pulling homebrew cleaning solution down the lines with a refillable cleaning cart on each bay with the machine powered down. then turn on the machine, ask the firmware...
