do you have a link on the new head tech? if you go to the mutoh website, it just says 180 nozzles, blah blah... seems like they'd identify the new head? why does the new head go faster, isn't it the same size? and has anyone seen a price for a head replacement? i read a pdf while back...

okay. this is awesome. remember how the encad 880 was a total flop because the feed just wouldn't work? well, i even that i did some pricing out of used 880's a month ago because they would be so easy to "table" being that they already had the worm screw head height adjustment (just add longer...

thing is the firmware must be terribly simple. most of it is japanese. for instance a mutoh conversion. the step signal for the grit roller is just sent to a stepper motor that has a drive belt. if gear track is put on straight (which i could fine tune if it isn't), then it's just a matter...

i wanted to share this with you guys. i've been researching chinese dedicated solvent flatbeds for the weekend. i had a great opportunity to get an expensive machine but the pitch was shot down because the partner's consultant said they were planning on selling the business in three years and...

for your printer, KC goes to MY, MY goes to KC. keeping the ribbon top/bottom exactly the same. swapping M to Y, Y to M is not a data swap. the idea is that it's like with someone crosses their legs. your entire left head's data goes to the right, and vice versa. if you want to see if the...

not sure how your head/colors are laid out. if you do a data swap correctly, the printer is oblivious that it's data has been sent to alternative heads. if you do it wrong you can send the data in a loop and short out the carriage or main board. on your printer what is the head/color layout...

@stealth ryder so mutoh has limited that at the firmware? i'm glad i did some asking around instead of just willy nilly assuming. if so that may be deal breaker. i guess this goes for the 1604 too? i'm flipping the coin if i need that extra 8 inch print width.

i run a lot of 4x8 so i am able to very quickly calculate. the real kicker is there are a lot of chinese knockoff staggered head dx5 solvent flatbed. the sfph on those are very high, even if they are fudging the numbers. draft modes would be around 350 sfph. even if the printer mounted to...

the mutoh spec sheet reads that 720 x 720 4pass BI, comes to 13 square meters per hour (or 134 square feet per hour). cutting the passes in half, dropping to 540x540 should bring the output to around 20 square meters (204 square feet) per hour. but no documentation so far on the internet. i...

what is the lowest two setting? and is there documentation on what square meters per hour that amounts to?

i'm considering purchasing a chinese mutoh 1304 flatbed conversion. looking up the different print speeds, i'm not seeing any kind of "draft" modes for these pritners. if the lowest resolution for a dx5 is 540, then why don't i see 540 x 540 2 pass, 540 x 540 4 pass. my old mimaki has a 360...

i had to do a lot of production cutting of artwork back in the day. my solution with my extremely low tech (circa 1980 shopbot) cnc was i mounted lasers from lowe's on the x/y at zero. then i printed targets onto my substrates. all i had to do is slip the piece onto the table, line the...

corel for vector, photoshop for raster. now if adobe would just let me set up my tools like in corel, photoshop would truly be a great program. ...i work in photoshop about 4-12 hours a day 7 days a week. photopaint just couldn't handle the massive load of massive file size work that...

speak to the tech that is going to assist you with the install. uv printers are not as simple to restart as you'd think. if it has it been sitting for more than two months, you may have issues.

don't forget to ask/specify what ink they are running.

ha! i'm almost always broke. like negative $15 in the account, maybe $20k in receivables. that said, i have a meeting tomorrow (THE meeting after several pre-meetings with investors and a consultant) they will be dangling a partnership in front of me. i'll do my best to not show my excitement.

bump, or any gandi tech that can possibly further refer me. thanks. aa

$1250, which amounts to $2500 retail. they are usually all a loss because have of the labor ends up being proposal time.

i read on a message board that there was independent company dedicated to refurbing these and providing tech support etc. i think it was in california. sorry i can't refer you, but figure if you search long and hard enough, the name will come up. that said, there's a uvx out here in the...

could someone please refer me to a gandi tech in the houston/texas area? thanks aa
