mutoh KKKKx8 option? @jhanson i came up with an option that might be possible. today i spoke in length with a RIP engineer and he helped me understand what code is difficult to hack and vice versa. attached is a pic of my current ink train set up. (mimaki jv3 160sp) the second rendering...

yeah. that has me thinking too. i'm considering taking all the tools and tables out of my fabrication area, which is climate controlled, and doing fab in the heat and cold. the sepiax ink is a great looking option. i need something that will not cross contaminate at the wiper. you can't...

as for the eight dampers, i quit running eight dampers a while ago. four dampers one damper per head is more than enough ink. i've done f-style manifold on a bulk head. and y-splitters. i've got four carts running cmyk, the other four running two cps of varnish and two strengths of...

kind of compelling firmware switch? a 90" mutoh garment plotter. maybe lucky enough to just require two heads? but the thing shows only hp-gl and hp-gl/2. i would be done looking of these stupid plotters all over the world would just print a .tiff...

awesome amount of info (where do i send the check?). that would be good as far as the indoor firmware goes. i've been worried how the firmware on any of these printers of any make might deal with the heaters being tossed. but then also, i read about latex solvent for epson heads is being...

i finally decided to build my own. i bought this gantry table yesterday on ebay and now i'm figuring out which printer to strap to it. after 10 years of pinch roller flatbeds i am done. it's hurting my business, holding back my product options. i thought i could master the beast but it can't...

i think you are right about just the one pass at 400, i'd love to see the 800 but my throughput doesn't even allow me to get a printed board on a second table by the time a new board would be done in 2 or 3 minutes. i plan on staggering the heads in the callibration so that every other head...

i moved to triangle because i don't print often. the mimaki OEM dries out a bit quicker around the caps and such causing a lot more headaches. @circleville signs so there's not permanent chips out there for mutoh? i don't think i've ever seen them but i figured they'd have to exist.

...well third party ink ruin your printer just the same way OEM inks do. they dry out because of bad maintanence or coagulate from temperature shock. companies like triangle and nazdar don't build printers they are an ink manufacturer. that makes them "ink experts". the whole idea that third...

you must be a mutoh guru. that was very informative. i've seen the head carriages for the spitfire have space for eight heads. but with four dx4s running. is it a spitfire extreme that gets firmware for eight heads? also, i don't really plan on using this printer for cmyk. i need...

we will see! actually there is a good chance that hp latex will be a top experimental ink too. i'll just heat up a spot of aluminum and print a test. if it works, i can put an IR bar across the font of the gantry. with the thermal head all you have to do is match cps and boiling point. the...

jv3 160sp is a military issue printer. it's a shame that one ever gets mothballed or neglected. the only problem is the highway robbery prices for dx4 heads. the real price should be about $250 a piece.

definitely right on the power. when i got gang busters about picking up and old gandi 3150, it needed a three phase 380 (so it needed it's own transformer! because that's a european voltage.).

does it have to be UV. i've studied the chinese conversion market for the last several weeks extensively. there are models that have mutoh or epsons of all sizes attached to a gantry table. in the end i decided to just build a flatbed myself. if you are thinking about a 1608, get a 1600...

pm me your email, i've got everything a tech has for that printer.

in actuality they will be filled with clear latex ink base or some kind of alcohol resin based ink. but the printer will assume it factory ink. the issue is that the printer just printing "black" from one head is running FOUR times slower than from all four heads staggered. some of the...

what is the printer doing?

hey signs101ers. i need someone to help me with some rip experiments. i am trying to acquire some new equipment for my monochrome printing techniques. one option is to run an encad 700 series (60") in cadjet "fast black" or KKKK mode. ...this mode prints black at 565sfph! i've been...

was the awhhh... because there wasn't a tail on the board and the head popped it on the way back? i put a 4.5" tail on everything then trim? i like the jig but my aluminum doesn't like jigs.

oh yeah. the pumps are in a different spot three heads instead of four. pm me your email address. the uploader keeps failing with the 160sp mechanical drawing. aa
