if out of warranty and it's just ported to a hose line, upgrade to a festool dust collector. heard one run yesterday at woodcraft, i was like "is this thing on?" ...with a ton of pull too.

first off, you don't need a big printer to get started. most printer drivers have a tile feature. get a six pack of scotch tape a stack of 8.5 x 11 paper. number your prints because a banner can require about 100 sheets. though your experience is lacking, you can beat the pros on margin my...

@sightline thanks for the reply. here's a rendering of the two bad prints (tests). i'm wondering how i can set up a protocol that will get me through this printing day. i have a truck leaving tomorrow morning that this piece needs to be on. otherwise, i'm looking at crating and buyers...

1. for the last two days when the printer is doing cleanings, i've heard a low groaning noise. i had a large piece of aluminum leaning up against it. i assumed that it was some echo of a noise coming off the aluminum. 2. do a test print (margin offset 1 inch). the print lands offset from...

it's data, but i'd first print some big blocks of c, m, y, and k to see if you can isolate it to a channel on the print head.

ha! we have yet to see if it's just a pile of un-calibrated parts.

lap-what? you mean those little buttony TV tray things? i have to have my dual 24's.

yup. ....it's a bit less exotic than that. i had a thermal expansion issue on a 20' piece (was laid up in 38 degrees and delivered at 40). so i had to reset the adhesive. did a little river walk action with the gf but i am comically slammed right now. (here's a pic of my smoking hot partner...

that is the coolest. when my girls tell me they are bored and want to do a mini-vacation, i could pack this thing up and in seconds be back to work in a hotel room. i took my workstation to San Antonio last week to but could not get myself to unload the damn thing out of the car.

i like how they hacked the IR paper load sensor with an external shining down on a piece of aluminum. ...note taken.

here's a flatbed that has some t-shirt jigs. i'm using an encad to build a flatbed right now. also there are lots of diy dtg sites. many of the forum members do builds for people that do not want to hack a printer them self. search under diy dtg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xEBdjvtCP8

if you have a head that is giving you no trouble beside it, do a damper swap and see if the magenta heals up in the black or cyan position. it magenta prints fine at a different manifold then you probably do have at least a cracked manifold or a clogged manifold screen. i don't think it could...

i replied to your question but your mail settings will not allow for private messages to be sent to you.

...for my work, i never ever use the heaters. wish i knew that ahead of time. i would have put eco-solvent in my fj50 way back when.

in the end i took off the wiper shems and just have my capping station at a slightly higher than usual point (also higher on the right then the front, works better that way). so all i have is a temporary head raise. if the printer is then parked between prints for an extended amount of time i...

you can use the lever with the tall dampers but i don't. i hate that lever in the way so i tossed it a long time ago. if you need to raise and lower the heads your hand can do with the lever does when the carriage bolts are loosened. i also have a bunch of photo of when i slightly modified my...

if you are heating your media up very hot with or without platen heaters and the ink is pooling, then it's not a valuejet you need. it's an adjustment in your rip. you can make any solvent printer pool ink with the wrong ink density. i'd just call the guy you bought the printer from and ask a...

i believe from my emails. the dual, if giving you issues, can be used in one head mode. but the single head printer although still equipped with with a dual head carriage does not have the ink lines, capping station, or slider board(?) for dual printing. i asked if the dual could run two ink...

they don't make a 1.8m if i recall. it's 1.6/2.2/3.2 the 2.2m dual dx5 was $8500(?). but keep in mind this printer is not a roland so it is an utter piece of crap and unworthy of the slightest consideration.

the neo jet works with only a top heater. perhaps you can use the neojet (encad 750 with dx5 head, eco-solvent) ink? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqQ0NvgCjqs
