  1. a wiper question

    I run the test print every morning but it does not run that sequence of wiping the heads. I find that my yellow head is very frequently about running at about 65% and it seems that a head wiping always seems to solve the problem. I just cant figure out how to get the wiper to just wipe the...
  2. I miss...

    At least in winter you can heat the back shop!!! I hate them both...Spring and fall, is perfect for me
  3. a wiper question

    How do I command my jv3 130spII to just run the wiper sequence of cleaning the heads?
  4. working with 2ml regular vinyl vs wrap media...uggg

    I left the shop Friday night miserable over this stripe install and I was worried that I might have to remove and redo it again due to what seemed like an overabundance of air bubbles. This morning I come in after 2 days off and the truck looks 100% better. It seems it some how smoothed itself...

    Here is a pic of the so so side.... I know it does not look too severe, but it is
  6. working with 2ml regular vinyl vs wrap media...uggg

    Normally I think this would work. There is a black stripe that sits about an inch away from the teal and it goes down a lot better as it does not hit the deep gorge of the wheel well as much. The trouble with the teal stripe ( 8" thick) is that it hits the gorge and runs along it for about 18"...

    To hell with it, put it down wet and now i wait, although I feel I will still have the issue when I try and get the stuff down into that deep gorge they call a wheel well. I don't need this on a Friday!!

    so you are saying I should laminate the stripes with 2 ml laminate? Never thought of that but I dont think it would be any easier to apply. maybe the wet method was the way to go...to late now

    I think if I did them wet it might take a day to dry out so I could attack the wells... I just screwed up side 2 need to recut stripe!!! not happy
  10. working with 2ml regular vinyl vs wrap media...uggg

    Man I am so frustrated.... Doing a pickup truck for a regular customer and we have done these on about 8 or 9 vehicles over the last 3 or 4 years but now FORD has got lots of indentations running on the wheel wells and lower sections of the truck, which makes applying thick curved 2ml striping a...
  11. what could be causing my black head to be like this?

    well it must have been that low cyan cartridge preventing the wiper from doing its job. I swapped out cartridges and ran a 1 minute nozzle wash just so it would wipe the heads and my black is back.
  12. what could be causing my black head to be like this?

    This may be the culprit as 1 of my cyan cartridges is low and because it is a little slow at this time of year it has been this way for about a week now. Is there a way to force the machine to wipe?
  13. what could be causing my black head to be like this?

    Jv3 130 spII - I usually see this issue with the yellow head and a good nozzle wash seems to clean it out. Yesterday I remembered that last Friday I did not perform my weekly nozzle wash so decided to do it yesterday. I ran it for an hour. I did print yesterday with no issues with any of the...
  14. The Man Cave project

    Really great ideas!!! Is this a man cave in a house or at work?
  15. Digital printed vinyl and laminate material?

    don't forget cast laminate with calendered film is OK too
  16. sometimes turning color correction off works great

    Needed a red decal with yellow copy. Turned color correction off made my yellow 100% yellow and the red 100% yellow and magenta, and it printed the best red I have ever seen out of this printer......yeee hawwww.
  17. Cutting - there's got to be a better way!

    That is awesome!!! I have a d140, but it must be an older model. Does not look like that one and I have never seen that option.
  18. Wet lamination

    Tried it once before I had a decent laminator, and the cloudiness took 3 weeks to go away.... If you have a lot of dark colors in the print I wouldn't do it
  19. How often does this happen to you..............??

    I have done this on more than one occassion.... I am working on a sign and something happens and a letter gets ruined. I come back upstairs and load more vinyl, find the letter or graphic and cut it. I then take it out head back downstairs and put it on the work table...then the multi tasking...
  20. Decal for vehicle question

    In the past before I owned a digital printer I would have car decals done by my screen printer. I know they use sheeted vinyl and I also know that it was calendered with no laminate. They could last quite a long time 5 years plus with little deterioration of the vinyl itself. I can't say that...
