yeah. i'd tape them off to the side. even put a tiny piece of saran wrap or something to cover the bottom. i have at this point 5 auxiliary ink lines dangling at my head carriage all stuffed in an ink covered custom cut up zip lock bag. it's the ugliest thing, trimmed out with duct tape.

so have you put the black ink lines on the magenta manifold?

only if you have black dampers/ink lines attached to the magenta head. are you sure they don't reach? the black should have slack in the ink line being moved over to magenta. it's the longest line at the carriage.

put the client to work. those ordering small jobs understand that they are putting the shop in an unprofitable position. ask them to take a straight on dead level shot of the space with copious measurements. that alone will save you at least $100-$200 in lost time. if not, tell them that a...

i'd go unconventional because the silver is going to be difficult to work with. you'll need two carts to run the single channel. one will be mounted on the side of your printer and you will empty the silver oem cart into this clear refillable. the other will be another clear refillable with...

so the black head printed a magenta file (using black ink) and the issue seemed to improve? or half improve? it's crucial that you get to the bottom of it the issue is disappearing with magenta data is sent to the black head or if the results are the same.

if you could stick a motor on that thing or make it act as a wind powered/sign spinner you might have a good patent on your hands.

you are definitely running out of possibilities. that depends on how the data swap was configured. ....if you pull data from the head sockets or the slider board. make sure you do a test in which you allow the black heads data ribbons to be in the mix. data swaps do a great job of pointing...

one suggestion (kind of a behavioral economics thing). the sign is a bit generic and unenergetic. it says, "please order a sign, go that way". it could say "winter savings days at ThinkSigns!" 25% off banners and more!" one it says why and how long the discount will last. also it has an...

i do a lot of etched metal (have the printer set up to print a proprietary acid resistant ink). like to use the printer more like a digital screen printer. i hope to abandon cmyk all together with this new custom flatbed i'm building. here's some pics...

radio head is a heavy rotator. right now, listening to an Ane Burn discography (kind of a norwegian tracy chapman but way better). probably one if the best unknown female folk singers (unknown in the US). i used to blast tool, and SOD, etc. but that was when i was more manic. now i keep...

for aftermarket waterbased lyson is a great option. used their inks for a long time all of them look spectacular 15 years later. also this company (link) has some really innovative ink sets but are mostly set up for 12 channel rolands and epsons. the best deal going for the longest time was...

i'd say patents only mean something if you are a multinational corporation. if a guy forks over $5k to get something patented, he's wasted his money. unless he's willing to later spend potentially millions to defend that patent and also have that patent trampled on in other countries. that's...

maybe i'm not reading this right. but there is a chance that your rip is set to print black only for black files. ??? i know very little about the rip side of printing. my work doesn't require much talent. but it sounds like you set a portion of your rip to not print composite black...

84" custom built monochrome printer. i can't wait to say good bye to the purple monster.

forgot to ask.. kind of important. is it a jv3 s or jv3 sp? i'm figuring it's an sp because sure the magenta damper on an s would reach. looks like you are in variable data mode with these prints and if so the prints look like they are missing the variable data. at this point you are still...

variable dot is when the head creates different sized dots to dither lighter smaller shades. in rasterlink a rip resolution will be shown at say... 720x720VD or 720x720ND. it does look like you aren't getting the super small very fine dot patterns. but then it also isn't freaking out at...

well, it looks like you aren't getting your variable data dot size to print from that head. for test purposes only, do a gradient (grayscale image) rectangle about 2x30. set your rip to print from the black only (rasterlink would be color edit/color matching/gray balance. this will isolate...

that looks like a data issue. ink starvation would print fine then fade a bit then drop out. maybe you should also upload a pic of what this file was supposed to look like. ...was it a black square? although there are lots of diagnostics that can isolate and possibly cure this issue. 90%...

my new/custom 14'x6' rotisserie table. it renders massive pieces completely accessible. it was a custom fab' cannibalized from an old fighter jet factory. used to have wings attached to it for riveting.
