i've seen quite a few "install" videos. i believe it's very common to not install the head. maybe because it's so delicate that it's best off in a box alone rather than exposed to shock, and such. but looking that the dx5 install, i was pretty jealous at how easy it was. a four head dx4...
i'm really an ink, coating, materials guy. that is where i spend the bulk of my r&d. i've got this flatbed build started. but event that is a cheat. stick existing printer on existing laser cnc table. i'm about to get slapped into reality when in need to sinc' the encad's x-axis signal to a...
i correspond with a guy in africa that has a jv3 250sp that is giving him fits. fascinating to hear how difficult it is to run a business when you can't count on electricity.
he's getting the 3.6 (he does billboards) and loading the same crate with as much media as it will hold.
noticed a...

no one knows if this printer has electronic issues. but it looks over built and very clean.
strangely i've got a wall of bibles behind me in my office. haven't read the bible in years. strange what 14 years in the lay ministry will do to a guy. i won't go into it though. that would kill this thread.
not powering up was more likely the ribbons being installed bottom to top/top to bottom. seen it happen. slider boards are rarely replaced. just fixed for $200 by guys like macmedia. you can get a diagnosis for $40! i sent mine off once and got the "it's fine" result. it's so nice to have...
if a sign company is getting top dollar for a busy over over designed graphic or sign, the amount of money is irrelevant. it's still a crap sign.
software is designed by "engineers". from the ones i know, they snicker at the idea of complex solutions. the best engineer is the one that can...
i started with corel 4 on a p120. back in 90-something? wish i had started earlier and gotten into printers earlier too. i remember looking at the "new fangled" encads and thinking... "looks too complicated". i was using a huge stock of large stencils to mass produce my art line back then.
will do. one other unmentioned thing is my heads have been failing (overspray or voltage issues) early like 18 months. maybe due to all the odd inks and varnishes i print? but also possibly a board is not right. but it is at the head. data swaps do not move the issue. so that has to be...
no. please explain. i built a test file in photo shop. it's a 60" long set of single pixel wide vertical lines. if you print this, it will specifically show by printing differing lengths of this file just where the encoder hiccup is. but that would be a physical issue on the encoder itself...
kent with macmedia has suggested that the encoder sensor is suspect. he's seen similar behavior clear up with a new sensor. he is a printer guru. kent has spoken.
thanks for all the input!... as far as linear encoder tests on the mimaki, the only one i've found is some test that the y motor just flies back and forth at full speed. it seems there would be some diagnostic test.
i have an "encoder test file" 60" of one pixel vertical lines. this test...
my jv3 160sp lost it's mind today. we have two nice sized orders (with already extended delays at my request due monday).
i've had on and off stair stepping issues in the past months. cleaned strip and sensor. all good.
today the same. cleaned strip and sensor. no change.
HERE'S THE...
just put the magenta dampers + magenta lines on the black manifold. if magenta magically feeds to the black head, they you can most likely blame dampers or then bad cart or clogged line.
print a ruler down the side of the print. i do that to track feed. you'd be amazed at how and "inch" can run shorter and shorter and shorter, or maybe longer in your case.
it's freakin' vector software. where in the world in our society have we gotten to when we start applying elitist values to clicking boxes, letters, and lines.
yup, cnc router files in corel too. i have a big 16' x 8' "piece of paper"
and i draw in the upper right hand corner of the page (where all the positive x's and y's are). then convert to .dxf. ... so easy even and artist can do it.
it's a xenophobic meme. corel is the "photoshop" of vector programs. just add space bar panning and it would be perfect.
illy is a mess. like sitting in a 747 cockpit and all you want to do is go get milk at the corner store.
