load the wiper and cap top with butyl carbitol and it will create an "never ever dries out" condition. carbitol is one of the retarders in your ink. it's a glycol ether with extremely low evaporation. if you torch it, it will just sit there and evaporate over a few minutes. also squirt some...

the uv roll to roll, its that because of the finish of the ink or heat sensitive? it looks like this printer may just beyond the ink have some very impressive output. i really don't think this printer could be considered an "engineering experiment" if they can build a quality flatbed, this is...

it is a nice looking machine. looks like VW designed it. i'm guessing $45k.

chinese customer service from the OEM side is much different than we are used to in the USA. i don't believe in their culture is disrespectful to not answer a potential client's call. there is so much money to be made for 3rd party latex, there will be a company that gets is on the market...

that is a very good reason. pappa printer and baby printer same ink same general output. no matter how large the order there's no reason no to get them both going. they may be fairly similar too? many chinese OEMs use japanese design as a template for their own machines. i'm not familiar...

also, marabu offered to have a printed roll shipped to them, they would coat it in house as a "large scale" sample. (i'm assuming not for free). but it is a nice opportunity to see the final product as it would be managed by the business. such as "do the prints stick together after coating?"...

seems like star lam might be the industry standard? or is there a worthy competitor? i watched the video of it working. looks like a nice little machine. i've contacted sarah at marabu to have literature sent out.

LED 1600 ? this one may be overkill. i assume it cost as much as a small house in the midwest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCNVC4JLb0Q http://www.fujifilm.com/news/n110906.html...

my main buyer (a good friend) has informed me that he had a salesman come by today to discuss leasing a $120,000 uv roller coater. his business does over $5million a year. so i know he can afford it. but the coater will be used to coat only 20-50 (4' x 6') canvases a month. that seems like...

hmmm... the 3.2 dx5 is very very common i china. as for 3.2 the person in africa is getting the 3.6(?) that purchase should be in a month or so. why go dx5 with such a large printer? and not proton, or k512 14pl, etc.?

there are currently two "english speaking" shops that are purchasing a wit-color ultra 9000. (one here in the USA, the other africa). it's been a topic of discussion in this thread http://www.signs101.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91309&highlight=express you might find a good read there. my...

then there's no doubt that digi is taking apart epson 10000 head assemblies and parting them out. there must have been a batch of secret heads that went out that accidently had the roland mimaki with the epson. several turned up shedding light on the myth of "authentic OEM heads".

imagine a row of nozzles jetting ink down at a perfect 90 degrees from the head platen. but a few nozzles jetting at 80 or 60 degrees, the radius of the jet causes the little line that it's been sent to print to be of the right length but not in line with the others, so it's off to the side of...

with the ranks (i'm not a print head changing expert. there are some really experienced guys on this board that are. so if i'm not completely right on this bare with me) just keep hitting the "go right" arrow button and it will introduce the new fields all the way down to the one that is just...

yeah. as odd as it may seem, dunk it in alcohol swish it around and then (i whip it dry a few times) lay it on a paper towel and let it sit. maybe even put a small fan near it. i wish i'd done that a few times. i might not have gotten an error 07 after cleaning a head perfectly recovered...

that's a complex question. when you "clean" the head to the point that you see that pretty fine parallel spray coming out, many times, in order to achieve that spray, the head is being damaged. so you have clogged head, cleaned out by high pressure purges, now that it's cleaned out it's...

do a two or three pixel median, then posterize, keep the original and do some work in cutout. then reposterize and erase the worst portions of the layers keeping the best. flatten and resharpen. this took about four minutes. with more time it could work. i can email you the current 14mb...

the guy that posted part 2 and 3 (ultra 9000 install) has noted that part 1 and 4 will be posted soon. also i did some looking around and found that the ultra 9000 uses" hiwin rails (considered THK quality without THK price) http://www.automation4less.com/linear.htm megadyne belt...

that is some real bad advice, also, if it's a water based head, remember that the print head manifold will melt like chewing gum over time. so they sent you waterbased heads, told you "don't bother purging them" (all dx4's have a water based test fluid in them both solvent and aqueous), and...

your heads are 720x1440. that means you need to save your files at 1440 dpi. average files size will be 100gigs. actually get a small piece of an image. something sharper than would be for your average project. also get a sample of something not sharp, like a photograph of the sky, or a...
