  5. Need Help Best place to buy ink for Roland VG - 16.9oz Eco Solvent Ink Cartridges

    Bradley Bedwell CPA if the inks are gone anyway why don't you insert the cleaning cartridges and do a custody wash and leave the machine alone until you're ready to use it?

  7. Need Help Best place to buy ink for Roland VG - 16.9oz Eco Solvent Ink Cartridges

    Why would you clean the head all the time? If you leave the printer plugged in it'll auto clean itself. To be sure do a test print every two weeks and do a soft cleaning if needed.
  8. Need Help Mimaki CJV 30 60 Left unused for a year. Test print shows nothing now :(

    That's just a rubber piece missing from the pinch roller assembly, I'd be more concerned about the PH for now
  9. Need Help Mimaki CJV 30 60 Left unused for a year. Test print shows nothing now :(

    Order some new ink tubes, dampers, capping station and 8 cleaning cartridges, no matter if you keep the PH or replace with a new one you'll need these items anyway. In the meantime do the overnight soaking. Change the tubes and do 2 custody washes when the cartridges arrive (you need to wash the...
  10. Need Help Mimaki CJV 30 60 Left unused for a year. Test print shows nothing now :(

    Just search for print head soaking here on the forum, it was explained many times. You need to check the ink tubes that goes from the ink cartidge to the printhead. No matter how old your PH is, or how heatlthy it was before, if you let it dry it's probably dead by now. You should have made a...
  11. Need Help Mimaki CJV 30 60 Left unused for a year. Test print shows nothing now :(

    Check ink tubes, if they look good (not dried up) soak the print head overnight, do a LOT of power flushes, if you see some progress change dampers, capping station and continue with power flushes, overnight soaking. If there is no ink after the overnight soaking and 3-4 power flushes you need...
  12. How precise is the Keencut SteelTrack 250

    Don't know about the cutter you mentioned, but I have a keencut arc 120" rotary cutter that cuts fabric, BOPP bag, or heavy textured wallpaper with extreme accuracy and super clean edges even after one year of (moderate and careful) use, so I wouldn't be too concerned about the quality for any...
  13. CJV150 from 8-color to 4-color

    Another inconvenience with 8 color is that you have to have 8 different ink cartridges at stock and some may expire before you use half the ink (my orange is half full after 2 years)
  14. Need Help Roland Camm-1 PNC 1000A Cutting slooow

    They go up to 40 cm/sec, so 30 will give good result (for a comparison mimaki printers with onboard cutter cuts at 30 and as far as I can remember truevis has the same speed)

  16. Business Cards

    This card features debossing, spot varnish, die-cutting and side paiting, all of these together may be very expensive. A much cheaper alternative is a simple debossed UV printed version that many shops may be able do with a Lef-12 (prints white and embossed varnish)
  17. A little help request

    If it won't cut through for the first time have it cut on the second one. If you don't have multiple pass option you can always offset the cut line by a half of a hairline. There are really expensive flatbed cutters out there but not sure it's worth it unless you want to do some low volume...
  18. Is there any solvent printable adhesive backed paper?

    For cheap food packaging paper labels you can use pre-cut laser printable sheets like these: https://www.avery.com/blank/shape/square-labels
  19. Discussion VersaSTUDIO BT-12 Reviews?

    Good point. I just wonder how this will work. TrueVis is a response for competitors cheaper machines and it is a total failure (had one). Nevertheless if it works as expected I'll also buy one just in case.
